What is your most memorable wedding?
There are so many fabulous weddings that we have been lucky enough to be part of but one quirky image that stands out for me is of our beautiful Indian bride wearing a colourful tartan dress which was the Chinese/Scottish tartan walking under an umbrella wearing wellington boots as she made her way to the venue.

Describe your typical process with a couple.
We have a relaxed discussion all about your wedding and find out as much as possible about you and your wedding plans before starting to try on dresses. We have lots of different shapes and styles to try on. If you are having a Couture wedding dress we will sketch the style after trying on different shapes and discuss and show you fabrics. Once a design is finalised we will work out the price. We ask for a 50% deposit and then we start the fitting process. Your pattern is individually made to your measurements there will be a toile fitting followed by 2 or 3 further fittings so that your dress fits you like a glove on your wedding day. The balance is paid on collection of a Couture dress or if your dress is from our Studio collection when it arrives in the shop. Mostly we like you to enjoy the run up to your wedding and the time spent with us.
