Rebecca has mentioned this before on Rock My Wedding – sometimes a Big Day will be on a whole quite traditional in terms of decor, colour scheme and the general ambience but there may be one stand out piece of pretty that makes us go ” Right ok then THAT has to go up on the blog folks” …..
Well this lovelies was one such W-day – the bride Rebecca chose a fashion forward, asyemetric, heavily detailed, show-stopping Ian Stuart masterpiece with a head-piece that had a similar wow-factor.
And you’ve just got to hand it to a bride who pulls out all the stops to look not only completely gorgeous but also so very very stylish.
Rebecca and David were married in May at All Hallows church followed by an evening reception at Mitton Hall, all of the lovely images are courtesy of Alex Davies Photography.
The Caberet
My dress was by Ian Stuart and called “Cabaret”. I bought it from Amy Louise Bridal Gowns, Nantwich, Cheshire. It was nothing like what I thought I wanted but I fell in love with it when I tried it on. I loved how it was so different with the flowers and one shoulder strap. It felt amazing and glam. A dress i was so excited to wear
Peeptoe Perfection
I wore a Headband fascinator made by Viviene Sheriff Millinery, bought from Amy Louise Bridal Gowns. It looked perfect with my dress. My veil had swarovski crystals on it which caught the light and accessorised my dress beautifully without taking away from its detail.
My shoes were Peep toe ivory shoes with diamante straps across toes from Dune. I Loved the sparkle and nice stiletto heel.
Blushing Maids
I bought the bridesmaids dresses from Dessy, a very pale blush pink, with ivory accessories. My Colour scheme for the wedding was ivory accessories (table wear, bows on chairs, my dress and bouquet and bridesmaids accessories) with the pale blush pink brought through in the bridesmaid dresses and bouquets
Smart In Silver
David wore silver grey tails, which made him look very smart and extremely handsome, with an ivory rose button hole to match me.
Capturing The Day
We chose Alex Davies Photography. She takes amazing photos and captures the day perfectly. We loved her portfolio and the relaxed, un-staged images.
Neutral Simplicity
The flowers were done by Buddies florist, Rochdale. I wanted a neutral simple bouquet which they did perfectly with ivory maroussia roses and white peonies. The bridesmaids had sweet avalanche roses. The button holes were a combination of both roses with ivory freesia. The table centre pieces were beautiful candelabras decorated with these flowers and foliage.
A Hint Of Pink
The venue had tall candelabras around therefore I purchased candelabras for the table centre pieces and had them decorated with flowers to tie in with this. We had bunting put up in the conservatory with pictures of David and I over the years. My colours scheme for the venue was mainly ivory with a hint of pink just in the flowers.
A Designer Cake
Our cake was made by specialized cakes, designed by a combination of a picture we had seen plus our own ideas. We wanted to keep with our ivory colour theme with flowers to tie in with my dress. We had two tiers of chocolate sponge and two of Victoria sponge.
An Amazing Day
It was an amazing day, surrounded by people who we love. Enjoy every minute as the day passes so quickly. After many months of planning and worrying how it will all come together it all falls into place and everything is just perfect.
Anyone else thinking of slipping into something show-stopping for W-day?
Why not I say – if you can’t do it on your wedding day when the hell can you?!
With big thanks to Rebecca, David and Alex Davies for sharing the fashion fabulousness.
Big Asymmetric Love

You can tell an Ian Stuart dress as he always does such dramatic but ever so pretty dresses. This really is a show stopper and so different I love the asymetric ruched detail at the bottom of the dress x
What a stunning and stylish bride – I especially love the headband and the bridesmaids dresses are so elegant as well.
Stunning venue and bride, totally love this! And that pic of the bride and her mum(?) in the chair is fabulous x
Hubba hubba – that dress is delicious! The Bride looked beautiful, congrats! x
Wow. A.mazing dress!
Those are my absolute favourite dresses on the dessy website but I’ve never seen them on anyone.
r.now
PS by the by – is anyone else loving the mahoosive armchairs? No? Just me then!
Gaah! Why does everyone else I’ve seen look amazing in this dress when I just looked ludicrous!!
I adore the bridesmaids dresses, they are now officially my favourite ones not from the high street!
xx
That dress is spectacular! It’s timeless and showstopping at the same time – a hard look to find. The bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous as well.
That dress is B-E-A-Utiful! Such a lovely wedding classic but contemporary! I love the pic of the bride and her mum. Stunning wedding.
Ps. I love the armchairs too

Noooooo, my dress wobbles have just started all over again now!!!!!!! I LOVE this dress, how glam does the already gorgeous Rebecca look?!
RECYCLENOW, you can get those arm chairs at Marks & Spencer (really, what can’t you get from there?!). They’re SO comfy.
They’re called Love seats.
Love is….a love seat.
That dress & the maids in one word. LUSH.
I wanted those bridesmaid dress’ too, but being as my leading ladies are all on the slightly buxom side, twas not a good look!
AJS – whats your dress…I’ll let you know if the wobbles are allowed! (i am FOREVER having them)
Wow. That dress was MADE for that bride to wear…she looks so statuesque. Beautiful wedding. I just can’t seem to get past that gorgeous gown.
I love Caberet – it was on my list of dresses before I found ‘The One’
oh rebecca, you are a pet!
I’m assuming you’re the rebecca of this actual wedding(!) in which case – where did you get your dessy dresses from?
r.now x x
PS I can’t actually think of anything you can’t get in M&S!!
Gorgeous wedding and they are my bridesmaid dresses except my girls are the ‘quarry’ colour!
There are four in the set – all the same skirt but different top styles – and I am in love with each of them, I think my five bridesmaids will be two in this style, two in the strapless and one in the halter but that may change… x
I am loving this dress! very stylish yet classical!
wish i hadnt got my dress so early now!
Beautiful dress!
Stunning bride, show stopping dress! I love the elegant colour scheme!
