We catch up with designer, pattern-cutter and dressmaker Lynsey about her latest looks, perfect for intimate weddings. Firstly, she unveils her Ziggy metallic jumpsuit teamed with the Stardust tulle overskirt, perfect for fashion-forward brides who feel that a traditional white gown would look too formal for their micro wedding. “It's a fun look without compromising on style,” Lynsey says. Stella , a silver silk-satin and star-embellished tulle bridal gown with deco-inspired lines, delicate flutter sleeves and a stunning deep V-back is another fantastic choice for a smaller celebration. Brides wanting a plunging neckline will love the Shooting Star evening gown that also features dramatic bishop sleeves and rhinestone details on the shoulders. “For a touch of Hollywood glamour, our silk velvet evening gown Ophelia is an alternative option for a low-key affair, while Elenor , also from the evening collection, also suits micro weddings with its luxurious silk velvet fabric and oversized bow and deep cowl back,” Lynsey describes. Lynsey has also designed a collection of bridal face coverings crafted from sumptuous fabrics including lace with hand-sewn appliqué and beadwork. They come beautifully packaged in organza drawstring bags and gift boxes available to buy from www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ dandelionsandpearls which also sells a small selection of made-to-order designs.
