Jessica Charleston... TITLE is a couture wedding dress designer, who works from her beautiful bridal studio in the city of Bath. Her designs are often influenced by past eras, such as ‘La Belle Epoque’, through to the 1930’s. Jessica draws inspiration from “antique markets and vintage boutiques, in films old and new, and in museums and exhibitions of both historical design and cutting edge innovation”. She utilises natural fibres in her dresses such as bamboo, combined with luxurious silk, to create truly beautiful and quality wedding attire. Jessica explains, “I believe that how the dress feels is as important as how it looks. These little hidden luxuries can make you feel even more special on your wedding day.” The Dotty team were hugely excited to travel to The Royal Crescent Hotel in Bath, who were our gracious hosts for the shoot. This iconic location oozes sophistication and elegance, offering the perfect backdrop for the couture designs. www.dottyvintageweddings.co.uk 18 Issue 2
