Real Bride Megan: Repurposing 'Poppy'
“When Andrea shared that they were offering a repurposing service for their brides I was so excited. It’s such a beautiful idea to be able to reinvent your dress to more a more wearable piece in your wardrobe but to also play around with designing something new, too. Giving your dress a new lease of life and knowing it comes with a sentimentality that could never be replicated means it will feel endlessly special every time you wear it. Such a gorgeous concept.
I loved being able to handpick the colours and patterns, and play around with different ways we could look to repurpose my dress. We kept it true to the original design in many ways, but have transformed it into a multi-wear, truly versatile dress that can now be styled up or down. The botanical hand-dyed element is my favourite; we’ve created a look that feels vintage and luxurious." - Megan
