How far ahead should we order wedding pieces?

Because each piece is stitched entirely by hand, allow several weeks between your enquiry and your wedding date. Foreign couples planning a Malta wedding should enquire as soon as the date is set, so there is time for design consultations and the hand-stitching itself.

Can you embroider our names, initials or wedding date onto a piece?

Yes. Names, initials and dates are worked into veils, ring pillows and guest books as a matter of course, alongside any motif you'd like included.

We're marrying in Malta but live abroad. Can you still make our pieces?

Yes. Finished pieces are shipped from Gozo to clients worldwide, so a destination wedding in Malta or Gozo is no obstacle to working with The Secret Rose.

Can you match our colour palette and wedding theme?

Rustic, modern minimalist or classically elegant, Sarah tailors the embroidery to blend with your chosen colours and style.

Do you make pieces for the wedding party as well as the couple?

Yes. Personalised robes for bridesmaids and custom pocket squares for groomsmen are among the pieces commissioned most often.

Embroidered wedding gifts and keepsakes, made in Malta

Made for you

Every wedding has its own texture. The Secret Rose makes custom embroidered wedding gifts and keepsakes built around the details of each couple, each stitched entirely by hand. From the initials on a veil to a ring pillow or a guest book bound in fabric, every piece holds a detail that is yours alone. Based in Gozo, Sarah brings an editorial eye to the craft, often collaborating with celebrated local couturier Luke Azzopardi as well as on individual bridal embroidery pieces for discerning brides.

An embroidered keepsake made for a couple marrying in Malta

Destination weddings in Malta and Gozo

Couples travelling to Malta and Gozo to marry often look for keepsakes that hold the place as well as the day. For foreign couples planning a destination wedding, The Secret Rose makes custom embroidery that ties your wedding details to where you celebrated. You might want a veil stitched with a motif drawn from the Maltese coastline, or a guest book that keeps the islands with you. Enquire ahead of your wedding date so there is time for design consultations and the hand-stitching itself.
