Lucy

When the boss gets married you know it’s a go big or go home situation.

After 13 years, three countries, two continents, new businesses, two degrees, one masters, and a million adventures in-between, this wedding had been long anticipated and neither the  Covid virus or Lockdown number two was not going to stop it or dull the sparkle.

Five Years prior a dress arrived from San Francisco – that can most accurately be described as ‘What would Barbie wear to her wedding in 1984? – It was love at first sight. Large bell skirt, high Victorian neckline and large puffball sleeves, all beautifully embroidered in a large thorny climbing rose pattern.

The dress was unaltered except to remove the high neckline, and follow the lined sweet heart bodice of the dress. And the personalized finishing touch of the bride and groom’s names, wedding date and first dance chorus hidden among the roses of the skirt.

With a bold dress, less is more when it comes to accessories and a handmade bandeau birdcage was all that was needed.

Annie

What a beautiful couple, congratulations to our gorgeous bride Annie on her big day, she absolutely rocked the Made With Love Stevie gown Xxx

When  a message like this arrives in your inbox, it can’t but make your day Xxx

It is a terrible thing when you can’t remember the name of the lady who single handedly help save your wedding day!
Hello!
I entered your store on the 29th of January without appointment and a wonderful woman took care of me. She didn’t bat an eyelid when I started crying as I explained I was getting married the following week and still had no dress. Anyway after the tissues where given out she helped me find my prefect dress, she then arranged for me to visit a seamstress to say this lady is an angel is an understatement. I will be forever thankful for her and for your store. 
I have attached pictures to show you how well it turned out, cliche as it sounds I really did feel like a princess.

Janette

We are loving Janette’s simple and under stated wedding look. She is rocking her gorgeous bias cut silk crepe Lara Hannah wedding gown. We love how she accessorized her dress with that gorgeous vintage embellishment around her neck and shoulders complimenting the low back. The look is completed by a single tiered ivory tulle veil.

Amy

Check our glamourous bride Amy who customised her Karen Willis Holmes wedding gown to create a unique look to suit her. Amy had the capped sleeves and illusion back removed to create a plunge back hollywood style gown in all it’s shimmering glory.
