Here’s Linda looking so happy, relaxed and elegant at her son’s wedding . Most of our mothers say ‘I don’t want to look like a typical mother of the bride/groom ‘. We can help you look glamorous but at the same time relaxed . It’s all about the cut and the fabric . You won’t find this in a retail shop . This is made to measure . It’s not for everyone but the confidence it gives is worth the extra 😊. groomoutfits

How stunning does our London bride Aba look when she married Jack in November ? Her beautiful dress was custom designed especially for her. The church wedding was followed by a reception at Claridges. Here's what she had to say about her experience with us
" I want to thank you for being brilliant at every step of the wedding dress process; you are a dream team.
The gown was beautiful and suited the day perfectly! "
Thank you Aba for being the perfect bride it was an absolute pleasure to create your dress. ❤️
