Islington Angel.

Cecilia wanted a dress for her wedding in Islington. She came in to have a play and when she saw herself in this fifties dress with little embroidered flowers, illusion bodice and a scalloped hem finished with tiny bows, that was the one. We re-bound the neck and sleeves, in a matching silk to the bolero we also made. We added a petticoat and a velvet ribbon sash to match Cecilia's fabulous purple shoes. Cecilia's friend made her headband and she found a fifties necklace in our shop that went well with her own pearl earrings. And we were delighted to have Cecilia's mum come all the way from Italy to one of the fittings.

This wedding also featured on Rock 'n Roll Bride.

"Dear Emma & Laura, there are no words to describe how happy my fabulous dress from FCNK made me on our wedding day. As a bride who was dreading the idea of wedding dress shopping, it was an enormous relief to find you! Every fitting with you was great fun, and one of the memories I will cherish the most when thinking of our wedding preparations. You even managed to get my mum on a plane for the first time in her life! The day was absolutely perfect in every respect, I felt glamorous in my gorgeous dress, Rob loved it and everybody commented on how amazing it was and on how it was just "the" dress for me!

You’ve played a huge role in the wedding and in making me feel special, confident and ultimately just over the moon!! Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me and I really wish you all the best for the future! You girls rock!!! xxx Cecilia"
