Renowned for its astonishing hidden corsetry, a Phillipa Lepley dress is custom-made to enhance the bride’s figure, sculpting her silhouette to perfectly flatter in all the right places. Each dress is delicately handcrafted close by at the Chelsea atelier using luxurious fabrics, Italian satins, the finest French lace and bespoke in-house designed embellishment. Displaying unparalleled artistry, each Phillipa Lepley couture wedding dress showcases the upmost level of elegant bespoke design. The collection takes inspiration from society photographer Cecil Beaton and his iconic pre-war images of royalty and aristocratic debutantes. Fused with the dancing and delicate fluidity of the English National Ballet and voluminous ball-gowns with sumptuous swathes of tulle and taffeta, the collection sees romantic floral silk prints, soft layers of chiffon and dainty cross-over ballerina straps. Accessories include oversized embellished bolero jackets and hand-worked veils with details such as angels, majestic swans and embroidery inspired by the English country garden. The dresses are made using rich ivory silk crepes and heavy duchesse satins, all combined with Phillipa Lepley’s signature clean design, groundbreaking proportion and super flattering silhouettes.
