COUTURE WEDDING DRESS: TOULOUSE PINK ROSES

‘Toulouse Pink Roses’ is a beautiful, full-length couture wedding dress, made from a very special, exquisite pink and sage floral jacquard fabric. Perfect for the modern bride looking for something romantic and refined yet fun and feminine, it is a coloured wedding dress that will stand the test of time.

Phillipa says, “It is a magical dress. With pink beading across the complimenting jacket and the matching umbrella that we made, it really does make my heart sing!”

“The jacket is just the right length so you can still clearly see the bride’s defined waist. I love the shape of the umbrella and the bamboo handle. I have adored and collected umbrellas for many years, I am fascinated by their shape and ingenuity, and I love the idea of a delicate amount of drama, reminiscent of the Regency era, that they could bring to a bride on her wedding day.”

“The umbrella was made by hand here in England with fabrics that were made exclusively for our atelier. To me the beading looks like a smudged impressionist painting, and it perfectly accentuates the flowers.”

The top of the dress is a corseted bodice, and the billowing skirt is tightly gathered in at the waist with hidden pockets nestled within the sumptuous folds of fabric. Cross-over, thin straps tie in feminine bows at the shoulders, and descend to the scooped back neckline, finished a line of delicate buttons through the bodice.
