Bride Mariam in her dream lace bridal gown

adminCA | Posted on December 28, 2017 |

This beautiful traditional Palestinian Muslim wedding between our real bride Mariam and Liam took place in July, in the Lake District of the UK.

The stunning flowers were created by floral designer Valerie Ann, and perfectly reflected the natural feel of the whole day, which was Mariam’s vision.

Mariam describes her vision for the day…

“Our wedding day was perfect, intimate and beautiful…

“…We wanted a location that was natural, untouched and scenic – so choosing a farmers field on the banks of Ullswater Lake was a logical decision…

“…We loved that we were able to talk and socialise with everyone at our wedding and that it was not too big and overwhelming…

Dancing and celebrations continued into the night…

THE DRESS

Mariam designed her wedding dress using our CoutureKit web app She chose a sweetheart crepe bodice with internal corset, and full crepe skirt, which she teemed with a corded lace overlayer with 3/4 length sleeves, and a long “Bala” veil by Joyce Jackson. Here, she describes why she decided to have us make her wedding dress…

“The prospect of choosing a wedding dress can be very daunting, it”s difficult to find your ‘dream dress’ at an affordable price in the wedding market. I realised quite quickly that I wanted a dress that I could customise. Designing my own wedding dress was the best decision I made and turned a potentially stressful experience into a enjoyable, creative and collaborative experience. I loved the experience of being able to see the stages of my dress being made. I loved the dress designers and makers expertise guiding me in my decisions but allowing me to imagine my dream dress and make it come true. I truly cherish both the experience and the result and wouldn’t have it any other way.”
