This last year has been a tough one. So many events have had to be changed, cancelled or postponed. With things seemingly taking a turn for the better in the UK, do we dear to start planning again? A huge part of any wedding is the bride’s outfit. Having undertaken the task of making my own wedding dress, I can definitely confirm it can be an emotional rollercoaster! The tears I shed over planning and making it made me question my choice of making my dress, but the joy and pride I felt wearing it made it all worthwhile.
Over the years so many of you brave knitters have taken on the task of knitting your own wedding outfits using one of my knitting patterns as a starting point. I can’t even begin to explain what an amazing feeling it is for a designer that someone chooses to make one of their designs, let alone for such a special occasion. Thank you , one and all!
Nora from Bergen, Norway chose to make a Maddie Dress for her elopement to the Faroe Islands. She loved the look of the styled photo from the cover photo of the dress and purchased a black petticoat from Vivien of Holloway. Using a timer for the camera, Nora and her husband even took their own wedding photos! An incredible DIY effort!
The woman behind the instagram account @ethjerteavull knitted herself a version of the Icon Dress for her wedding day. The off white yarn she chose really makes the cables pop and the wedding photos taken in the woods are just so atmospheric!
Irene chose a dusk grey version of the Duchess Cardigan to compliment her vintage 1920’s wedding dress. The contrast between the woolly alpaca yarn and the delicate lace made this outfit truly special!
