THE ‘GRACE’ COLLECTION

Grace | noun

Elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.

Phillipa Lepley’s latest bridal collection, ‘Grace’, is an exquisite expression of timeless elegance, combining the refined sophistication of 1950s couture with the ethereal beauty of the natural world. Each design celebrates the art of couture craftsmanship, seamlessly blending structured silhouettes and clean lines with delicate embellishments and masterfully constructed layers that move with effortless grace.

Drawing inspiration from the femininity of the mid-century era, ‘Grace’ reinterprets classic couture elements for the modern bride. Dropped waists elongate the form, bubble skirts create striking volume, and sleek, straight necklines add a contemporary feel. The collection embraces lightness and fluidity, counterbalanced by the renowned Phillipa Lepley corset, which sculpts and enhances the female form with unparalleled precision.

Hand-embroidery brings a botanical narrative to life, as intricate floral motifs – including acanthus leaves, cornflowers, orchids, peonies, and the symbolic myrtle – are delicately stitched onto tulle and silk. Phillipa’s signature bows, oversized and architectural, punctuate select designs in the finest duchess satin, sourced from the prestigious silk mills of Lake Como. Luxurious stoles, delicate capelets, and an extraordinary full-length silver coat elevate the collection, adding layers of styling versatility and drama.

Phillipa Lepley’s artistry lies in her ability to create a gown that is both profoundly personal and exquisitely couture. Each design is meticulously constructed by hand in her London atelier by a small team of artisans, experts in their craft. 

Phillipa Lepley is recognised globally as a leading British wedding dress and eveningwear designer, renowned for bespoke couture dresses of the utmost luxury. Her wedding dress shop in London, Chelsea, has over 50 dresses, all of which have been made in England from start to finish at her atelier.
