How it works…
Hello,
I know when it comes to finding your wedding dress it can all feel quite daunting!
So, before booking your appointment to try on my dresses I wanted to explain what you can expect if you choose one of my dresses.
My studio is tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden, this is where all of your appointments would be held, and this is where we make all of our dresses. We are a small team of 3, and I can ensure you that the upmost care and love will go into your dress.
We make every dress to order to the brides measurements and specifications, because of the way we work it gives us and you the flexibility to make your dress truly yours. I have a range of styles to try on and choose from at my studio, and we can also discuss any possible alterations you would like to make. You will also be able to try on dresses with my range of veils. Please feel free to show me your pinterest board to give me an idea of the dress of your dreams. Customisations start at £100. I also have a range of 10 fabrics to choose from, these are all natural silks, cottons and linens, apart from my one new Brocade which is a mix between silk and synthetic (but it was too beautiful not to use). I will give you some fabric samples to take away with you to consider.
Once you have chosen your style, customisations (if any) and fabric, we will book in for all of your appointments!
Please let me know if you have any questions, you can email me here

(+6 months from wedding date) - 45 minutes (£28)
Firstly, book your appointment (minimum 6 months before your wedding). Appointments are held at my Covent Garden studio, they are 45 minutes long and cost £28. At your bridal appointment we will discuss your vision for your dress, budget, and timeframe. You’ll have the opportunity to try on various styles, explore fabric options, and consider customisations like buttons and sleeves. Each appointment lasts 45 minutes and offers a relaxed, informal atmosphere. You are welcome to visit alone or bring along friends and family.
If you intend to wear shapewear on your wedding day, please wear this to your initial appointment.
If you are undecided you are welcome to visit again for a complimentary follow up or a measurements appointment if we didn’t take them in your first visit
If you then choose me to make your dress I will take a £500 deposit and we will book in for your measurements!
Please note this is the only appointment that payment is required for.

(+6 months from wedding date) 15 minutes
This is a super quick appointment and can be tacked on to your initial appointment if your wedding is soon or visiting london is a little trickier for you
Please wear a similar bra or shapewear to what you intend to wear on your wedding day.

(4-8 weeks following measurements) 30 minutes
Your first fitting might be a little strange, your dress will need some tweaks, but bare with me, I will pinch and pin and tweak to make it look exactly like it should. You are welcome to try on different veil options with your dress. There is opportunity to change your mind about aspects of the dress at this stage, for example your sleeves will be stitched by hand, you can change them now or remove them altogether! For any big changes there is an extra fee of £100-200. You can also decide that you want covered buttons down the back at this stage, they add such a lovely finishing touch.
Your bridal shoes and underwear/shapewear are required for this appointment.

(+6 weeks pre-wedding) 30 minutes
The next time we see you will be a little closer to your wedding and your dress will be finished! You will try on your dress in all of its glory, we will double check the fit and make sure everything is perfect, and make any tweaks if necessary.
