A Second Story for Your Wedding Dress
​
Bridal pieces are very special to me — in fact, it was my own wedding dress that first led me into the world of natural dyes, and since then it has grown into my passion and respect for each garment I work with.
At Studio Kühü, we believe a wedding dress can live many lives.
​
Whether you want to honour your memories, carry them into the future, or prepare your dress for a new chapter, we offer a slow, soulful dyeing service that transforms your most meaningful garment.
​
Each piece is hand-dyed with natural pigments and intention. No harsh chemicals. No two results alike. The colour is crafted especially for your dress, your fabric, and the story it holds.
​
This service is perfect for:
​
* Brides who wish to wear their dress again
* Transforming a dress into a ceremonial piece for another life moment
* Creating a family heirloom with renewed meaning
* Softly disguising discolouration or small marks
​
We also offer the option to immortalise the flowers from your bouquet through natural dyeing. These can be bundled directly onto your dress (depending on the fabric), or transformed into a keepsake piece such as a scarf, flower brooch, or hand-dyed kimono.
​
We work with natural fibres only (silk, cotton, linen) and embrace tonal variation, subtle texture, and softness. It usually takes 2–3 weeks, or 3–4 during busy seasons.
​
If you’d like to honour your dress with soul and care, we’d be honoured to guide it into its second story.
Jenna's dress ready for delivery
Jenna's dress
Jenna for her Roksanda dress, initially asked for a deep blue, but during our consultation I suggested a soft steel blue — a shade that beautifully echoed the colour of her eyes.
Leenoy's dress
Leenoy dreamed of a soft pastel tone for her dress, and we chose a lilac born from cochineal. In this beautiful Zimmermann piece, linen and silk each reveal their own gentle reflection of the colour.
Rebecca's dress
Rebecca’s dress carries her own craftsmanship — she designed and made it herself, layering three types of silk that flow together so beautifully. Before dyeing, she removed the train, allowing me to test how each silk responded to the chosen shade — a small ritual before transforming the whole piece.
Georgia's dress
Georgia’s dress is a true jewel — a vintage piece from Dickins & Jones, Regent Street, crafted in a beautiful jacquard. It was a gift from her close friend’s grandmother for her wedding, carrying layers of love and history. She later worked with a dressmaker to remove the sleeves and transform it into a strapless dress. The offcuts were used for testing, as the original label was missing and we weren’t certain of the fabric content. It dyed beautifully — a shade that matched her lovely blue eyes.
Fernanda's dress
Fernanda chose this lovely Reformation Jeany Silk Dress for her pre-reception in Mérida, Mexico — a warm-up celebration before her wedding. With all guests dressed in white, she wanted to stand out in colour. The dress was fully bespoke, hand-printed using an actual rose and a selection of natural dyes to create painterly, watercolour patterns. Her brief was to bring brightness and joy, honouring her Mexican heritage.
Rosa's dress
Rosa’s Halfpenny London ensemble — the Cheryl dress and Bay skirt — found new life after her wedding. She envisioned a blue theme for its transformation and chose our beloved steel blue, a tone that suited her beautifully. Both pieces took the dye wonderfully, revealing a graceful contrast between the smooth silk of the dress and the textured 3D guipure of the overskirt.
