Lezaan

A whimsical forest wedding held in the beautiful Midlands area, KZN. Lezaan wore a bespoke Dimity gown featuring a structured lace bodice with delicate straps. The skirt was constructed out of soft crepe and a tulle layer was added to soften her bridal look. The natural look was enhanced by pretty guipure lace leaves hand-stitched around the bodice and straps, and delicate pearl buttons finished off the low back beautifully.

A Traditional Scottish Affair!

Samantha married Ray, in wintry Dullstroom at a stunning Scottish wedding in May 2017. Dimity created a sash made from Ray's family tartan which followed the Scottish tradition that says “when the father of the bride hands over his daughter to her soon to be husband at the altar, he will take a piece of the husband’s tartan and place it over the bride to show that she has been given over to a new clan". We also created the double-sided hand-tying ribbon featuring both the bride and groom’s family tartans. This was used during the ceremony while a poem was read to bless the marriage. Since the wedding was in Winter, Samantha also asked Dimity to design her a jacket from her family's tartan. This was the same tartan the bride’s mother used to dance in when she was a little girl. The jacket featured ballet-wrap styling and a shawl collar to finish off her ultra-feminine bridal look.

A few words from the bride: “I cannot thank the wonderful ladies at Dimity for the stunning traditional touches they created to help perfect the day of our dream. ”

Admired in Africa Conference 2017

Dimity was front & centre at the Admired in Africa conference in May this year at the picturesque Hertford Country Hotel in Lanseria. The conference was a 3-day photography workshop attended by many of South Africa’s most talented wedding photographers. Our bridal gowns were photographed beautifully - one of our favourites being Rensche-Mari’s styled shoot featuring our Boho dress. Other wedding dresses that were featured include our ‘Leila’ gown with flower embellishments and our ‘Lottie’ skirt paired with the reclaimed silk satin and Chantilly lace ‘Camille’ crop. The photographers also played around with our dramatic cathedral veil producing some staggeringly beautiful images!

Kamini

This year we designed & created a full lace wedding dress for April bride, Kamini. Her bespoke Dimity bridal gown featured separates which came together beautifully! Kamini’s corseted strapless dress was constructed from ivory corded lace and satin. Dimity also designed for her an on-trend off-the-shoulder lace bolero and detachable train. Her bridal look was finished off with a custom Dimity cathedral length veil.
