Custom Schiffer for Verity

by

Verity wore a custom version of our Schiffer wedding dress for her elegant West Sussex wedding, when she married George at Findon Place. The Schiffer dress features a pointed drop waist corset bodice above a full, romantic skirt. To make the dress her own, Verity added wide shoulder straps, as well as a cluster of vintage inspired floral corsages to the base of the button back. A split front skirt adds drama to the final look, giving plenty of opportunity for Verity to show off her dream Manolo Blahnik Hangisi heels in classic Royal blue.

Verity's thoughts

"Finding your dream wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of the wedding journey—but it can also come with a bit of pressure.

Here’s the most important thing to remember: your dress should feel like you. Whether it’s timeless and elegant, bold and modern, or romantic and ethereal, your gown should reflect your personality and make you feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable."

Stockbridge in gold for Kitty

by

Kitty had our statement Stockbridge set made up in the most beautiful gold silk taffeta with a co-ordinating ruffled scrunchie, creating a unique and striking bridal look. To style her dress, Kitty chose vintage gold earrings from Tiffany & Co and the most fabulous pair of silver heart platforms from Mach and Mach. We loved Kitty's choice of bouquet - a simple posy of rich chocolate cosmos, which contrasted beautifully against the sumptuous gold silk taffeta.⁠
⁠
Kitty was the dream Nortier bride - embracing her personal style and individuality head on, giving us the opportunity to create the most incredible outfit.⁠

Kitty's thoughts

"The ‘Stockbridge’ gown literally blew me away – I hadn’t seen anything like it. When I asked if the team would create it in whatever colour taffeta I wanted, it was a yes. I knew right away it was the outfit for me and I booked an appointment.

Ben and Adrien were amazing to work with from start to finish, from sketching my outfit, customising my shirt, sourcing the perfect champagne taffeta, and creating my custom hair scrunchie to compliment the look, all while making the experience fun and exciting."

Campbell for Emma

by

Emma celebrated her marriage to Valentijn at Cissbury Barns in West Sussex, with a joyful, memorable wedding day filled with thoughtful personal touches and beautiful styling.

Emma chose the show-stopping Campbell wedding dress by Nortier, which she loved for its elegant square neckline, fitted bodice and romantic full skirt with hip panniers for added drama and volume. Emma took the look even further with maximalist fashion styling which we adored, adding an ornate pearl choker, glamorous satin opera gloves from British glovemaker Cornelia James and an heirloom veil, worn by her Mum on her wedding day.

Emma's thoughts

"The Campbell dress by Nortier is the dreamiest dress I could have imagined. When I visited Miss Bush, I had my mind set on a two-piece I’d seen at a different store. However, when Miss Bush pulled out the Campbell dress, I instantly fell in love with it. The dress was beautifully classic, with a square neckline, a structured bodice AND fantastic paniers for volume. The dress was more traditionally bridal than I had envisioned, which gave me the chance to accessorise. I paired it with a duchess silk gloves and a pearl choker. I styled my hair in a low bun to add to the 60s vibe"

Schiffer with bespoke cape for Helen

by

Helen wore the incredible Schiffer wedding dress for her wedding to Declan, which took place at Burningfold Manor in Dunsfold.

Schiffer is a romantic, vintage inspired ballgown wedding dress with a fitted strapless bodice with straight neckline. The dropped waist finishes in a point to the front, above a full skirt with pleats for added volume and drama. The skirt is finished with a split to the front, perfect for showing off a pair of statement heels.

Schiffer was the perfect choice for Helen's elegant manor house wedding. To style her look, Helen added a sheer floaty cape with high neckline, also by Nortier, along with a sleek up-do, timeless pearl earrings and a bouquet of classic creamy peonies.

Helen's thoughts

" I had tried on so many dresses but when I put on the Schiffer dress it was clear that this was the firm favourite so far amongst the group. I had used each appointment up until that moment to really refine what sort of dress I wanted, and I had landed on 'something classic but with a twist' in my head. The classic silhouette and shape of the dress, but with the dropped waist, really felt like it fit the brief. Moreover, with the addition of the cape, I knew I had hit the nail on the head."

A bespoke gold coat for Caroline

by

It was such a pleasure to create this bespoke opera coat for Caroline's winter country house wedding at Huntsham Court. Made from luxurious champagne silk, the coat features a flaming orange lining for a flash of colour.

Caroline wore her cape over her Suzanne Neville Sapphire dress from Miss Bush with a glamorous 60's inspired up-do dotted with stars; a bridal outfit fit for a queen!

Caroline's thoughts

"I cannot tell you how much I love that damn coat, it's this warm Champagne silk taffeta and lined in burnt orange silk which incidentally, was the colour we built the wedding around.

Being January, flowers were limited and we wanted something that would glow and feel warm without feeling Christmassy. It's Grace Kelly wrapped in 60s glam, swathed in decadence.

One of the bar staff said to my mum "Which one of them has the royal title?" which is probably hyperbole on their part but royal is how it felt."
