A selection of gowns from the Autumn 'Silver Screen' collection by Elizabeth Smith Couture, Adore, Alex Hanson, Veromia and Augusta Jones, photographed at Landguard Manor Hotel in Shanklin here on the Isle of Wight.

The Autumn 2004

'Silver Screen' Collection

Above: Fiona Galt wears 'Marilyn', a wildly romantic two -piece gown by Elizabeth Smith Couture, created in platinum / lilac hand woven silk. The pleated waist feature on the strapless bodice is of sparkling organza. This corset is fully laced at the back with ribbon which is finished with tiny crystals. The fully gathered skirt features an integral train and can be made either more 'A' line in shape, or increased in fullness by the addition or subtraction of the number, and style of the net underskirt. The veil is our most popular design C102c, by Richard Designs.

Right:- Debbie Hayward wears 'Courtney' a two- piece gown by Augusta Jones, here shown in black duchess satin. The embroidery and beading are the beautiful 'Turkish Delight' design in silver and ivory. The skirt is a slim 'A' line and the bodice is a long line design giving an elegant and understated look, this lets the unusual colour give a greater impact. The veil is a black edged ivory version of the popular C102c Richard Design style. The tiara is by Elizabeth Smith.

Left:- Debbie wears a gown not strictly included in this collection, but is still one of our best sellers ever. This is the 'Katherine'. An historically inspired gown in natural silk and georgette. As this is an Elizabeth Smith Couture creation, you can buy this gown style just as it is or, alter it to your own specifications (as many Brides have done). We have created this gown with different sleeves, in varying colours and materials, and with unusual necklines. The choice is yours!

Right:- Fiona showing the 'Isis' gown by Elizabeth Smith Couture. Again, not strictly part of this collection but as we shot a nice photo we thought that you would like to see it! This is an unusual gown we created nearly 4 years ago and is still popular. It is made of watermarked organza and brocade in blue and silver. It features dropped sleeves and an open laced back, very sexy! Although the skirt is full it is designed so that it doesn't look like a 'blancmange' by using some very skillful tailoring. This style is shown with a matching wrap and has tiny hand made buttons that match the bodice material at the cuffs of the sleeves. Again you can choose the colour and change the design to your own requirements however, most of our Brides like it just as it is.

Left:- Fiona again models one of our most popular, if not the most popular bodice, 'Ophelia' and skirt, 'Viola' combination originally part of the earlier 'ShakespeareShakespear' collection. The Elizabeth Smith Couture bodice features detachable Irish lace sleeves on a plain lace up corset finished with crystals, and a fully circular, crepe silk skirt. Both pieces are here shown in natural/ivory colour.

Right :- Debbie shown here wearing 'Iona' a medieval inspired gown by Adore. This gown is a real eyecatcher. It is created in ivory stain and chiffon and features silver Celtic inspired beading onto the skirt and romantic 'poet' sleeves. The chiffon bodice top and sleeves are removable, this will give the Bride a strapless gown if she wishes for her evening reception . The half crown is by Elizabeth Smith.

Left:- Debbie modeling 'Kate' a two- piece gold and red bodice and champagne gold skirt by Adore and Elizabeth Smith Bridal. The champagne gold silk skirt is made in a Jacobean style and the velvet bodice features stunning embroidery in gold thread. The bodice is fully corsetted and is buttoned at the back. The veil is a red edged version of the C102c style. The red /gold tiara is by Elizabeth Smith.

Above, Fiona wears 'Vivian' a 1950's inspired one- piece gown by Alex Hanson. It is made of ivory Italian satin and features an unusual asymmetric neckline, an integral train and is here shown with a small bolero which is 'crush' beaded to match the wide band which continues around the neckline and down the front, left side of this elegant, princess line gown.

Left & Below :- Fiona shows 'Brook' by Augusta Jones. A two piece gown in red satin and ivory organza. The bodice features stunning back details of both lacing and the lovely 'lily pond' beading. The beading is continued around the front neckline of this wrapped corset style. The bustled organza 'A' line skirt features red chiffon roses at the back to match the bodice colour.

Left:- A beautiful photo of Debbie wearing 'Greta'. This stunning two piece is available from Veromia. This is the gold option, but it is also available in ivory. The beadwork and pleating on the bodice is simply stunning and the additional gold beadwork to the hem of the organza skirt is very effective. The bodice features an inner, shaped support layer giving a superb bustline and waist, and is laced at the back. The gold half crown is by Elizabeth Smith and the veil is in ivory again by Richard Designs. We have included many other Veromia two-piece gowns in this collection because of their high quality and the beautiful designs that they have produced. These gowns can be seen at the studio or at the Bridal Shows this autumn.

Most of the designs in our previous collections are still available.
