👰‍♀️👰‍♀️👰‍♀️ Brides of 2024 👰‍♀️👰‍♀️👰‍♀️

You have had the best day and now can relax and enjoy married life.

One thing to consider, however is to look after your beautiful wedding dress.

Whether you are wishing to keep it or sell it, a professional clean is crucial to ensure it stays perfect for you.

Stains such as perfume or water may not show initially but over time, especially if it isn't stored correctly will deteriorate and destroy your gown.

Over my time as a bridal designer I have only ever recommended Nickie and her team at Boxed Bridal
Not only the most professional company but really passionate about their job and will only accept the best standards before returning your precious dress, veil or shoes.

Now is the time to get it sent to her to get it ready to be stored for the future.

Please contact me for a quote and to book your garments for the next collection.

Prices start at £175.

Preservation boxes are available too, just ask for more details.

🎉🎉BIG wedding news 🎊🎊

I am proud to announce that I will now be able to look after your wedding dress not only before the big day, but also afterwards too.

I am working with Boxed Bridal to offer the island brides a professional bridal specialist wedding dress cleaning and preserving service.

I have trusted Nickie and her team with all of my own brides over the years and each time I am blown away with the results and the care they take on all the dresses that come their way.

Prices start at £95 for tea length wedding dresses with most full length styles at £195. (Pricing will be confirmed once I have seen it)

If you are looking to have your beautiful dress cleaned or boxed to keep, please get in touch for a quote.

I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with any of my designs.👰‍♀️👰‍♀️

Email an image of your dress with any specific areas that will need attention and I will get back to you with a price asap.

My life is centred around fantastic women.
Every day I meet strong, beautiful, gentle, fierce, confident and vulnerable females
They all amaze me with their unique stories
Our relationship is sometimes fleeting
Sometimes we will forge strong bonds
Each story is an honour to be a part of
It may be a bespoke gown, working together for months
It may just be a quick tweak to perfect the fit of a shop bought dress
My job is to help each and every one and guide them to achieve a perfect wedding day look

I will always do my best to for each bride
No two women are the same
Everyone of us thinks they have imperfections
Parts of their bodies they don't like

I will hide, diffuse, camouflage and disguise those parts they aren't happy with
Enhance, accentuate, bring forward and show off their best bits
Mostly, nobody else notices these areas
The important thing though, is make my ladies happy

Not all women are trend setters, strong influencers or High profile individuals
Most of us are working hard for our families, businesses, friends and community
All women are honoured today and I am happy to spend every day surrounded by my female tribe

Too many to mention but you know who you are
I love and appreciate you all 🥰🥰
