A Lover's Thread - Vintage Wedding Dresses We are a vintage-based business focusing on re-imagining existing pieces whilst reducing our impact on the planet.

All fabrics used in these processes and for our own brand creations are natural, sustainable or eco-friendly. The A Lover’s Thread Mission is to put vintage, sustainable bridal back on the agenda in new and unique ways. By offering fit, re-design and bespoke embellishment services all in-house we offer our brides a chance to be both conscious, style-led and personal with their choices. Our focus i

s on luxe, hand-finished and highly personal detail. Through this we aim to push the boundaries of vintage into the realms of contemporary bespoke bridal. IT’S MY PERSONAL MISSION TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF ETHICS WITHIN BRIDAL, AND I TRULY BELIEVE THE WAY TO DO THAT IS TO MAKE ETHICAL DESIRABLE. Through this model I have scored key collaborations with not just wedding industry professionals, but the fashion industry too. Striking up honest conversations over IGTV + blogs with both industries about the importance of transparency within production, and the different ways brides can choose to be more ethical on their wedding day. These conversations are just the start in changing the way the bridal industry values both ethics + aesthetics.

Welcome to By Studio.SC 🤎
𝘈 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.

A new community for the soul-led woman who believes in personal growth, here to connect with others — and, more importantly, herself.

Here, you’ll learn to reconnect with your vision, your confidence, and the transformational powers of mindset, wellbeing, and manifestation. To step into your next level of fulfilment, ease, success, and abundance.

My mission is to empower women to become the creators, artists, and manifestors of their own lives — to design a freedom-based life that feels beautifully aligned with who they truly are, and one that feels more than enough.

And if this is all brand new to you — if you’re curious about these topics but haven’t yet taken that first step — know this: you didn’t land here by accident. We’re in this together.

If this resonates, follow along and let’s grow together.

CLOSE OF BUSINESS + MOVING HOME SALE ✨

Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that I used to sell vintage bridal alongside my bespoke silk hand embroidered ribbons & other bespoke bridal services.

On closing down this side of the business earlier this year I took a much needed health/life break (of which I’ll admit I’m still not fully back from, BUT still here nonetheless dipping in and grateful to continue working on your ribbon orders until I’m ready to be more fully present once again and refocus on growing ALT in its bespoke direction amongst other ventures)

During this break I moved all my vintage stock over to my personal Depop profile and am now readying myself to move for the second time in six months.

This will be my third home in a year! Which sounds a lot but it was all meant to be and has been good for me which ultimately means it’s going to be good for business and a strong return once I’m settled in.

So without further ado, I’m hosting a further close of business + moving home sale over on Depop! Link is in my bio & coming up in stories ✨

Everything must go preferably before 1st Oct 2023 🤞🏼🙏🏼 With all vintage occasion, bridal & personal wardrobe listings now up to 50% off. Message me on Depop for extra discounts if wanting to purchase more than one item.

Bundle shipping applies. Only pay one shipping fee ✨

Oh and that bouquet. White wild perfection ☁️🤍✨

I Told The Stars About You ✨

For J + J. 31.10.21

An oldie but a goodie. Turns out I’ve been squirrelling away some epic real wedding shots ready for building a portfolio and I’m nearly there.

Can’t wait to share more from this gorgeous wedding + beyond.

Did You Know?

ALT now offers extras you can add to your bespoke ribbon order? Like this extra beading option for when you want a little something more ✨

You can choose to add singular bead types to one of our monogram, monogram + date or mini quote smaller ribbons. (It’ll come with a couple of beads depending on your chosen design. Think dotting the I’s and a scattering at the end)

Or go more decorative on our luxe ribbons by adding a mix of glass, crystal and pearl beads in complimentary or contrast colours.

Simply pop in your basket as an add on and fill out your requests in the form when purchasing and I’ll get in touch to chat about & finalise your bespoke design shortly after 💗

All my love. And thanks for bearing with as I make a slow but steady comeback. Sophie x

Happy Two Year Anni To A Lover’s Thread First Real Vintage + Bespoke Bride B + Her Love S 💗✨

Such a gorgeous, unique and fun London wedding these two had after multiple postponements and changes. Will never forget working on this first vintage rework and bespoke embellishment number. The 80s sheer floral net puff sleeves dress of dreams 💭

Always so much gratitude to B for being my first bride and in lockdown too! 💗

Also confetti, rainbow florals, a Mabel dog, a prawn and an egg anyone!? LOVED embroidering and beading such an individual collection of meaningful symbols, sayings, wedding dates (to tie their civil ceremony with their main celebrations) and colourful extra personal details 🍳✨🦐🌈🐶
