Winter Wedding Dress

Getting married in the cooler months this year? Now is the perfect time to start thinking about your dream wedding dress. Dimity specialises in bespoke bridal gowns that reflect the bride's unique personality, style and the type of wedding she is having. For your winter wedding, take inspiration from one of our winter bridal looks.

Our Boho gown features seperates - a Chantilly lace blouse and a vintage pleated chiffon skirt with a Chantilly & Battenberg lace peplum. We can incorporate this idea into your bridal gown by creating a seperate lace bolero or shawl to keep you warm on your wedding day.

A Pink Dimity Gown

Today, we're looking back at Wendy's bespoke Dimity wedding gown which was was not the traditional white dress! She wore a soft structure pink bridal gown with illusion mesh lace sleeves. The antique French Chantilly lace was hand embroidered with pastel coloured bows and delicate beads. We also created a sleek white belt and dramatic cathedral veil to finish off her bridal look!

A Floral 70s Inspired Dimity Gown

When Antoinette came to the Dimity studio in Blairgowrie, Randburg for her consultation, she told us she wanted a unique, non-traditional wedding dress. Antoinette's favourite singer is Stevie Nicks, who inspired the 1970's design that we constructed from her mother's own bridal gown. Dimity often completes orders where a bride wants us to incorporate her mom's or gran’s dress. For Antoinette’s bodice, we used the swirly embroidered lace and guipure lace leaves from her mother’s gown. These were also dotted on her dramatic bell sleeves which made her dress a true showstopper! To finish off her unique Dimity bridal gown, we printed a custom floral print onto her crepe skirt which added a touch of wildflower romance under her mom's vintage lace. The couple got married at the trendy, eclectic Katy’s Palace Bar in Sandton which perfectly matched Antoinette’s unconventional bridal style.

A Whimsical Garden Wedding in Kloof, Kwa-Zulu Natal

June 2008

Janet's wedding dress was created out of ivory duchess satin and beaded embroidered lace. The sweetheart neckline and asymmetric flared skirt complimented her slim frame beautifully. We also made a flirty birdcage veil and hand-curled silk flower for her hair. Janet & Mathew were married in her childhood garden, under the canopy of the giant flame tree.
