THE LABEL
Hayley Claire Neil is the founder and designer behind Rolling In Roses. A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art Hayley worked as a freelance costume designer, maker, and assistant in the worlds of theatre and film before opening her first bridal boutique in York in March 2012.

The RIR dresses are unstructured and cut to effortlessly flatter the natural figure rather than to fight against it. You won’t find any restrictive boning or scratchy, stiff fabrics here, just comfort, elegance, and freedom. The processes include delicate hand-finished couture details such as tiny rolled hems, hand-stitched edgings and beautiful blanket-stitched hook and loop closures, and all pieces are lined with a natural, breathable silk/bamboo blend or a vegan alternative to silk made from orange-fibre.

THE BABE WHO WEARS IT
The typical Rolling In Roses bride? There isn’t one. They dress brides from all walks of life and of all shapes and sizes.  RIR are a small-scale British label with a focus on thoughtful design and high-end craftsmanship, creating conscious bridal wear for individuals who walk to the beat of their own drum.

ETHICS + SUSTAINABILITY
Minimal impact, maximum love. Creating quality products and positive spaces, and generally trying to help make the world a better place. RIR use sustainable, ethically produced, organic and eco-friendly fabrics, and offer vegan alternatives to silk. Sustainability is a lifestyle, not a gimmick; and they are conscious of everything they do, from using paper tape instead of sticky tape on their dress patterns, right down to the recycled paper in their ladies’ room. They also recycle everything. (EVERYTHING. Even ballpoint pens, crisp packets, and the Tetra Paks from the oat milk they put in their tea. Everyone who works for RIR is an eco-warrior, and they’re so proud of the tiny amount of rubbish they send to landfill. All fabric offcuts are donated to crafters, makers, and artists so nothing is wasted, and they package all dresses in biodegradable bags, recycled acid-free tissue paper, and unbleached cardboard boxes. They are constantly striving to run their business as ethically as possible in every way. Pay it forward, spread the love.
