Our Mia Sposa Bride – the very beautiful Sophie in her dream Lillian West wedding dress.

We are overjoyed to be able to share some really emotional and touching images of Sophie’s amazing day in Thailand from April this year.

Sophie had a very definite idea abut what she wanted to wear and how she wanted to look on her wedding day and we were thrilled to be part of her journey.

From the second Sophie stepped into our Boutique in Newcastle she knew which was The One!  Having seen images of this stunning Lillian West style 6329 online she knew she just had to try it on.

We loved helping Sophie – she was always such an excited and bubbly bride who couldn’t wait to get married to her soul mate – the images below really capture the essence of their day – we absolutely love them xxx

All the preparation and build up finally comes together as she joins her groom for a traditional Thai Blessing

The bride and groom wear garlands round their neck and kneel and wai whilst the elder says a few words and anoints them on the forehead. A conch shell (known in Thai as ‘sang’) is filled with holy water and is used by each guest to gently pour over the hands of the newly-weds

As part of the White thread ceremony The newly-weds sit next to each other whilst an old and wise man says auspicious things and blesses the wedding. White threads are linked to the wrists and soaked with holy water. The thread is then torn on the side until it breaks and whoever has the longest piece is supposed to be the one whose love is deepest.
