On entering into the enchanting world of weddings, the journey begins as one that can only truly be described as entering into a maze.

An enchanting world with a unique language of wedding dress styles, silhouettes and trends to navigate can feel a little like an art form in itself;

The art of finding ‘the one‘, that encapsulates the essence of the bride’s unique story is more of a challenge than it appears from a distance; Quite possibly too, the most likely reason that she navigate towards finding a service that fits with her ideals and engages with her in a way that she feels truly satisfied and heard.

We have worked with hundreds of brides since 1988 and it is with enormous pride to be able to curate a collection of handcrafted wedding dresses that transcend trends and embody the timeless beauty every bride deserves.
