Jeanne, Joke and Karen

Chinese heritage, a Mayfair affair and a Scottish Castle wedding

We are very grateful to Jeanne, Joke and Karen for allowing us to share a few moments from their special days.

Jeanne

St Andrews Church & Vigata Restaurant, Islington, London, Sep 2009

Jeanne wanted a dress that reflected her Chinese heritage – so we sourced silks in red and gold for her dress and her bridesmaids'.  We used a beaded fabric on the bodice with ruched silk detail.  The gown silhouette was a mermaid or fishtail which was appropriate to a restaurant reception.

Joke

Church of the Immaculate Conception and Dorchester Hotel, Mayfair, London, July 2009

Yemi says: "Joke had worn a Kosibah bridesmaid's dress at another of my client's weddings.  It was a slightly tricky commission as it was a maternity dress."

Dress description:  Organza with studio commissioned brooches on shoulders and bodice-front.  Kosibah also designed the bridesmaids' dresses.

Karen

Auchen Castle, Moffat, Scotland, Feb 2006

Yemi on working with Karen:

"Karen had been looking for a black-feathered dress but had not managed to find one.  She'd seen a feathered dress that I'd done in white in a magazine but didn't realise at first that I offer a fully bespoke service so we were able to adapt the design to match the look she wanted exactly."

Gown description: Strapless zibeline corset featuring hand-ruched hip band tied Kimono-style behind forming a long train. Worn over black feathered fishtail skirt with its own train.
