Camilla & Ally, Finland, 2013
“We had a wonderful day, more than we could ever have asked for! Weather was amazing sunny, blue sky and a light breeze. Dress was perfect and everybody was stunned by it! Different but amazingly beautiful. One of my best friends said it was something out of Lords of the ring haha..”
Year on year our paths cross many lovely and interesting brides-to-be, and Camilla from Sweden is yet another whose wedding we were honoured to have played such an important part in. Although living and working in London, Camilla had struggled to find a dress she wanted to wear on her wedding day. That was until she came across images of ‘Sabina‘ from our ‘Celtic Spirit Collection‘, and with her husband-to-be being a Scot, it just seemed like the perfect dress. You can imagine how surprised she was when she found out that we regularly came down to London with our dresses, and that she could have one of our designs without the problems of travelling up to Scotland for all the fittings.
As with all our designs, flexibility is the key. We are able to take any of our standard dresses and alter it to the clients specifications. Camilla’s only problem was that although ‘Sabina’ was her favourite, she also liked our dress ‘Arran’. After talking through the options with Grace and taking the time to think about both dresses, she decided ‘Sabina’ was the one, but with a subtle but unique difference. Could we make ‘Sabina’ but incorporate the sleeves from ‘Arran’? Of course we could. So with that settled, the process began. Over the following months, Camilla then was able to travel the short distance across town to see us when we visited Pimlico for our shows, and as the wedding rapidly approached, her dream dress was slowly taking shape with each visit.
Once a dress is handed over to our client we wait patiently to hear just how the big day has gone. When we saw the images from Camilla’s wedding we were blown away at just how perfectly the dress suited her, and how once again it proved that the perfect attire for a ‘Sabina’ groom was a good old Scottish kilt. Although Camilla hailed from Sweden the wedding was actually held on an island off the coast of Finland, yet another first for the Lindsay Fleming family of dresses.
As Scots and Swedes enjoyed the hospitality of their Finnish hosts, the bride and groom were being photographed by the talented StenroosPhotography from Mariehamn. We hope you enjoy having a look at the beautiful images from Camilla’s and Ally’s very special wedding day.
