The 2004 ('Prism' Collection).

Above: Fiona Galt wears 'Ruby' part of our new Prism collection. This spectacular gown gives the Bride a chance to add subtle touches of colour to her wedding. This gown is made of Italian satin and organza. It has a flounced skirt which is edged (in this sample) with red satin and the bodice is enhanced with red piping to the boning lines, red and ivory rose buds and red floral embroidery. The veil is our most popular design in ivory tulle with small diamantes and the silk flower posy includes Peony's and Roses with Ameranthus and Ivy trails.

Above:- This photo shows the 'A' line skirt and lovely train. A truly sumptuous gown.

Above:- A more detailed shot of the 'Ruby' bodice, showing the embroidery , piping and rose buds. You can choose the colour of all of these details from a wide choice or they can all be produced in ivory on ivory or white on white. It's up to the Bride's individual taste. The floral headpiece is of red and ivory Singapore Orchids and berries with Ivy.

This gown features subtle embroidery to the bust line and a small integral train. The small 50's style bolero is made of ivory chiffon.

Above :- This is an excellent photo of Fiona, showing the bodice detail on the 'Crystal' gown. This two piece is well cut, simple and elegant.

Left :- Sue Oxley wears 'Amethyst'. This sumptuous and feminine two piece gown is truly a one off design. The full ball gown style skirt is made of duchess satin overlaid with silk organza and the low, scooped neck line, well boned bodice was created from duchess satin and overlaid with French embroidered organza in lavender, silver and ivory. An interesting feature is the 'over shoulder' floor length drape, and ruched neck line in plain silk organza.

Above and Right:- Fiona Galt wears 'Opal', an elegant 'cross draped' one-piece gown by Augusta Jones in oyster duchess satin. This gown folds around the body in a wonderful way, emphasizing the waist and giving the impression of a classical, simply elegant look. It features an 'A' line shape to the skirt and a church length train.

Below & left, Fiona wears 'Diamond' a 'fairy tale' gown by Alex Hanson in ivory satin, tulle and organza. organza. The very full skirt is edged in satin and features a cathedral length train. The boned, fitted bodice is exquisitely embroidered and beaded. This gown is truly a 'show stopper'!

Above:- Sue Wears 'Moonstone' a 1950's inspired gown by Richard Designs. This gown is made from multiple layers of chiffon over satin and features delicate 'waterfall' sleeves. You can also see Sue modeling our new silk organza veil. The Bride may choose how long and how full this veil is to be. I think that you will agree it compliments the gown perfectly.

Left:- Emma wears 'Topaz' a medieval inspired two piece gown in Irish silk. This gown features an 'A' line skirt which is embroidered at the hem of the sweep train, and an off the shoulder bodice carrying the matching embroidery to the neck, and shoulder line.

Right :- A closer shot here of the bodice and it's embroidery. The neck line is not too low and is very flattering. This, we feel, is a modern 'Celtic' look. This gown has an historical feel, but is not overtly 'costume'.

Many of the designs in these previous collections are still available.
