Real bride Anna worked closely with Tiegan Linklater of Clara White Bridal to create a dress that was fun, comfortable, and no shortage of sparkles!

Just four weeks before the wedding, the fabric for her dress from her original supplier had fallen through, and she found her dream, shimmering hand-beaded Fraser fabric from Silk & Stitch!

“I am a sucker for any form of sparkle, so I knew I wanted to explore sparkly dress options!

Tiegen lives in Queensland, and we are based in Melbourne. But through facetime and sketches, we designed a dress together – it was roughly based on a few of my other favourite dresses I had already and felt good in, was made longer and more special, of course!

Tiegen put an order in for some fabric after I visited her Melbourne supplier and chose but, somewhat stressfully, the supplier didn’t come through with the goods! Four weeks out, I was back to choosing a new fabric! Luckily, by that time, Anna Thompson had started Silk & Stich. I ended up finding two fabrics which were even better than the first, and Tiegen used a combination of these to make my dress.” — Anna O'Callaghan | IvoryTribe

Working with Anna was an absolute dream, she knew what she wanted from the start and we did everything in our power to create her dream gown - which included sourcing two types of beaded tulle from Silk & Stitch.

The sequin fabrics we used in Anna’s dress was a combination of pearls and silver sequins that varied in size, it was beautiful to work with and created the drama we wanted while still keeping it classic.
