An exquisite Riki Dalal gown and bespoke Tilly Thomas lux crown for a wedding in the Caribbean
My gorgeous bride Natasha is one of those women who radiates joy. The minute she walked through my door I knew we were going to get on like a house of fire. We met a few times over the course of working together and it was such a pleasure to hear all about her incredible Caribbean wedding. I couldn’t wait to see her amazing pictures when they came back and I wasn’t disappointed.
“Toby and I have been going to Antigua with my family for years, so it felt only natural that we would celebrate our big day in the Caribbean! All our friends and family joined us for a Caribbean wedding party at Clarence House with steel drums, rum punch cocktails and a local reggae band to see us into the early morning. A day we will cherish forever… filled with joy, happiness, love and a little bit of sweat chucked in there too!”
Natasha wanted a mermaid inspired crown for her seaside wedding so I designed her a bespoke piece using the finest Swarovski Crystals.
“I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for creating my dream crown for my special day! The whole process from start to finish was fab... from meeting you for the first time in your studio trying on all your incredible sparkly pieces (every girl’s dream) to spending time with you to create my bespoke crown. You were so generous with your time and you totally got my vibe!
I loved loved loved wearing it all day, I had so many compliments as it is so unique! I even took it on honeymoon with me! What girl doesn’t need a crown on their honeymoon! Now to find a bell jar so I can stare at it.”
Natasha was so sweet, she even wrote me a poem! I’m not going to lie, I might have had something in my eye when I read it…
