Chris and Jane approached me earlier in the year to make an outfit for Chris to wear at their Disney inspired wedding. When I attended a fitting with the couple it was obvious to see their love for everything Disney and wanted to carry this through as the theme for their wedding day. Chris had a set idea in mind, nothing too extravagant but handsome and romantic. The items I made for the couple were the coat and waistcoat. The other items were hired from The Royal Exchange Costume Hire Department in Manchester.
The coat was made from dark navy suiting wool, again a summer wedding, so suiting wool to keep Chris cool. The coat is fully lined and was decorated with two different silver braids, layered and all hand sewn to the coat. The coat has large cuffs also decorated and silver metal buttons. Due to a short deadline the metallic silver aplique was purchased and reshaped to suit the coat. We had hoped to have a custom design embroidered to the wool but the short deadline would not allow it. Never the less the coat looks great and just what Chris asked for.
For the waistcoat we used a brocade satin, a floral weave of purple, pale blue and navy, fully lined it also has pockets for the speech. The waistcoat was decorated with silver braid and silver metal buttons and has a lace up cinch at the back for adjustment.
I believe Chris and Jane had a fantastic day, and the photo’s they sent me are truly magical.
