Lisa on her wedding day in Ireland this summer💕Loveliest of brides, rocking her Lenora gown. I have photos of Lisa and Ben too but thought I would do a post just with the stunning bride this time. 🌸

Ellie and her dress Heartleaf by Willowby was love at first sight. I still remember when she walked in for the very first time. A splash of colour with her vibrant hair was the perfect match. She too had to wait till COVID restriction were over to finally wear the gown. But they did it and had the perfect day. Congratulations to you guys I’m so happy for you. Happy ever after 💕😍

Caitlin and Nick had to wait for over a year to be able to get married with all their loved ones after Covid put their wedding plans on hold. Caitlin had to wait for over 2 years to finally wear her dress. It gave me 2 years to get to know her and enjoy her company during fittings. I’m so happy she loved her dress just as much as when she bought it and looked absolutely stunning on her big day. Congratulations to the happy couple, it looked like the best day ever. 💕

Photos by , bride’s dress is Galatea by Willowby

Debbie married Steve 💕this September after Covid delayed their plans….and they got a beautiful ☀️sunny day ☀️in Brighton. Yay !! Debbie looked absolutely stunning in her Jaycee gown by Willowby. We definitely chose the right one. Congratulations to you both & happy ever after. Beautiful bride inside out… I will miss our chats now.

It is always so lovely to receive photos from real weddings. So lovely to see how it all came together after all the secret preparations we had done with the bride for the special day. I was so excited to see Charlotte’s and Amandeep’s wedding photos and Charlotte looking so beautiful blending two cultures in one wedding outfit. Charlotte brought her very own wedding jewellery - a gift from Amandeep - to the fitting to see how it all works together. It worked perfectly but to see her wearing it when she married Amandeep and to see the whole picture is really special. I feel very happy to had been part of the secret planning. You guys look so happy and in love, congratulations and happy ever after. (Charlotte is wearing Lenora by Wtoo). 💕

Val and Oscar planned for an outdoor wedding in Chile, but instead tied the knot in Brighton instead….though a second wedding is still planned for next year. For most of the time since the pandemic started Val and Oscar were separated, living in different countries… well different continents! When Val finally arrived, she had to quarantine at the airport for days. She came to me to look for her dress just a few weeks before their wedding. I’m always amazed with love stories, and this is one of them with a very happy re-union and marriage. And when they will marry next year at the foot of the Andes surrounded with Val’s family, this Lillian West gown will be worn again. Congratulations Val and Oscar, happy ever after. 💕🥂

We made this dress - separates for Rachael in pretty much 3 days. 🥂Rachael chose the lace and the style of the top before I went on holiday. Lace arrived and when I came back from holiday, I fitted the skirt and the top on Monday and again on Tuesday. On Wednesday afternoon Rachael was taking her dress home. Stars were aligned and we made it all happen, but it was our own personal record too…from designing the dress to the finished product. A special thank you goes to Anna for making it all happen and working hard on finishing it all in time. Thank you to Rachael for her trust in me and believing that it can be achieved. Needless to say I will never forget Rachael and her visits to the boutique with her 7 months old baby boy and suggesting which wine I should drink after the fitting. Girl power 💕we did it and you looked sensational. Congratulations and happy ever after, as I said…. Stars were aligned. ⭐️💫✨🌟Just waiting now for more pictures to come now. 💞

When Helena married Jack ❤️💙 …. Originally planned to get married in 2020, but had the best sunny day in 2021 instead.
Helena’s dress is by Lillian West, she knew it was the one straight away and looked amazing on her big day. Despite all the difficulties when wedding planning it was all worth it. Congratulations to you both & happy ever after 💕

Whilst I was on holiday, you guys all got married 💞 I finally have some photos to show what I had been up to in between lockdowns. Meet Steph and Alex, a true Brighton couple and a recent sunny Brighton wedding. I feel so proud to had been part of it, mainly with Steph of course. Miles by Wtoo was the one for her and what a perfect match. Beautiful bride inside out I wish you guys all the happiness in the world. ❤️🥂

This morning was mainly a wedding dress collection day. I decided to post a picture of Chelsea collecting her dress for her next weeks’s big day because with badly broken elbow, surgery just days before the wedding, she is still happy and smiling. Not even mentioning Covid and their plans having to change entirely. What an inspiration. 😍💞

I’m hoping to have a big smile on too because after many travel disappointments and cancellation, I’m finally taking my two sons for holiday, hoping to get some sun. ☀️

The boutique will re-open on 21 August, I will be answering emails and messages in the meantime, if you would like to book an appointment, pleas get in touch [email protected].

So happy to share some pictures from Lucy’s & Matt’s recent wedding. 🥂They had the best day and Lucy looked incredible in her Lenora gown. I’m so lucky Lucy came to me to find her dress and it’s so nice to see how it all came together after months and months of planning. Lots of love to you guys and happy ever after💞💞

Could these count as something blue? Bridal gloves would have a practical purpose I think …Or just use as decoration 😉otherwise there might be no one wanting to catch the bouquet💐

Lizzie and Nathan married recently, here is a sneak peak of the stunning bride wearing (little customised) Hamlin by Willowby. I can’t wait to see more pictures, it looked like the perfect day. Congratulations to you guys, it was worth the wait. 🥰

On their 10th wedding anniversary, they came in to say hi. How sweet is that…. I do have the best brides 😊💞

Too hot for a wedding ends today, from tomorrow cooler days are back again.

My fingers and toes are crossed for no rain, or only a bit of rain for you getting married tomorrow ☔️☀️

I love this picture 😉

Double bagged and ready to go to Spain 😊 I hardly ever post photos of brides to be before their wedding day but thought I would this time. Charlotte is one of many brides who planned to get married last year so I have known her for a couple of years now. It’s like saying good bye to a friend. Getting to known brides and their families is my favourite part of my job. And as sad as I’m to see her go (and all my other brides of course) I’m equally excited for everyone else to see how drop dead gorgeous she will look on her wedding day. There is still one part to happen, the groom will discover the ‘secret dress’ and I will get to discover who the lucky groom is. So please send the photos in 😘

Finally weddings are happening! What a lovely surprise to get photos from a ❤️real wedding❤️this week.

Amy looked just stunning in her customised Lillian West gown and the happy couple are currently on their honeymoon. But from what Amy texted, they had the best day and are very much on cloud 9.

Congratulations guys, you made it and it was worth it despite some Covid restriction still in place. You look so happy and in love. Long may it last, I’m so happy for you both ❤️

There is still time for you lovely brides to do a pre-wedding radiance boost, it only takes a few days. I have decided to give it a go and test it on me with . Im on day 2 and will let you know when completed if it worked on me. I’m hoping mainly to detox and have a little more energy for bridal fittings anything else would be a bonus. 😉I met Anita, the owner, years ago where else then in my bridal shop. She is very passionate about juicing and cleansing. If you think this might be for you and would like to give it a go, just send her a message. BTW this is not advertising, she doesn’t even know about this post. 🍏🥬🥑

I love this picture of Anna Kara’s Sabrina gown. It combines all the best things in the world, sea, sun and love.

Hope it was taken somewhere hot 😉☀️

A splash of colour...picture from a fitting on Saturday for sunflower inspired wedding theme, the future is bright 😉can’t wait to see photos from the wedding, fingers crossed today’s announcement will be what brides & grooms are waiting for.

Roma by Anna Kara is soon coming to Brighton to join our collection. 💕
If you are getting married next year, and would like to try it on, send me a message to [email protected] or message via Instagram.

Dascher 💕perfect summer beach wedding dress by Wtoo. Or anywhere hot, Brighton right now ☀️☀️

Something blue 💙.... what a lovely idea. Thought it was worth sharing. Would be fab on toe nails too.

Sun is shining today, fingers crossed it will stay for bank holiday weekend weddings. ☀️ 😊

Last Saturday I pinned hems on 2 Cathleen Jia’s silk gowns that were waiting in the boutique for over a year to be re-united with their owners. I can’t wait to see and share photos of the real brides from their big days and it’s looking like this time it will actually happen 💕

Fingers crossed that restrictions will soon be a thing of the past and we can party again just like and in Ibiza before Covid had entered our lives. I love this photo so much. 💕👍🥂

Bespoke dress for Chloe was made by in Brighton.

Sharing a few photos of Jaycee by Willowby. Website is back up and running, apologies for any inconvenience I know it took me a while to sort it out...if you would like to try on beautiful gowns like Jaycee, book an appointment via our website (www.whiteleafbridal.com) or email [email protected] or send a message via Instagram/Facebook. 💕

I can’t believe the time has come again to order new wedding dress samples in. Seasons and life are flying so unbelievably fast! New collections have been launched, Covid luckily hasn’t stopped that. Maudie is not from the latest collection but I think it’s time ‘she’ came to Brighton and for sure will be one of the newest additions.
I must say I’m excited.

It’s been such a busy week for me, I apologise if I haven’t responded to your emails straight away. I cycled to work on Monday through snow flakes and came out on Sunday afternoon and it was spring all of the sudden! Fittings and new brides, it was lovely to chat and find ‘the one’ for this summer brides. Glass of wine on the beach later I’m looking forward to this week.
