Bespoke Requests
My passion has always been design and creativity .
The task of altering bridal dresses is a huge part of my daily work, but creating and designing a brides vision from an initial concept to the final look is the best feeling.
Life before the opening of the studio involved designing clothing for many high street and designer brands....it's in my DNA.
Remember to bring along your visuals and ideas to fittings.

A very special night ...

Last night the girls from Stockport College Make Up Department visited the teen ward at Manchester Childrens Hospital to sprinkle some joy.
They plaited and braided the girls hair and waved their glitter brushes everywhere!
They worked closely with a charity ( and ) and there were some amazing gift donations from high street retailers.

The generous donations that were collected last week at the studio were delivered by myself and Ayla to the Oncology wards.
They were beyond grateful and explained that on Christmas Eve they have a big Santa present drop .
Together from last week's appeal we collected:
⭐ Over 500 gifts and 15 gift vouchers! ⭐

Thank You for everyone's support with the Gift Appeal and sending love to all the girls and their amazing tutor who gave up their time to do something so worthwhile and appreciated.

Some tricky alterations coming in to start 2025 including shortening this beauty. Thankfully not the entire train, but the front of the dress has the same intricate detail.
An absolutely stunning gown from The Bridal Suite Cheshire
Let's get unpicking!

I received a phone call from a gentleman who had searched everywhere for someone to help with his last minute request and even though we were on a night before deadline I had to assist with this one.
A tradition between him and his wife was to gift a tree decoration to each other every year on the 1st of December (I 🤍 LOVE 🤍 that)
The brief was to embroider his families names on this little fairy and to do that she needed a new dress which I was happy to help with.
I adored every minute of creating this and it has inspired me to design my own little fairy range for next year with the option of a bride using her dress offcuts to make something magical.
Wedding dresses and fairies....I might just have the best job ever!

The Christmas Gift Appeal for Manchester Childrens Hospital is being arranged for next Sunday at the studio.
As lots of you are heading out shopping today and have messaged asking for suggestions , here are a few ideas especially for the teens who often get overlooked.
❤️
Teens:
Fluffy socks, snuggly blankets, lip balms, toiletries, Costa Coffee Vouchers available from £5 (to use at on site Cafe) Amazon and online vouchers
Amazon Prime is great as they can then order to be delivered to the hospital .
Treat snacks

Children:
Toys, books, craft and art sets, pjs, snuggly blankets

Please don't worry about wrapping gifts as we will take care of that and no gift is too small as we can put items together .

Thank you

What a gorgeous and uplifting surprise to receive these on the studio doormat today .
Receiving feedback, reviews and recommendations is the lifeblood of any small business and nothing comes close to that feeling of knowing I've played a small part in creating your bridal vision... especially on a day filled with Tax returns, admin and cleaning !

Thank you to everyone who puts trust in me .

2025 Bookings
Today is a great day to get in touch if you still need to secure an appointment for Bridal Alterations throughout 2025, as I am currently working on the diary.

Booking well in advance is advised , however work doesn't generally start on your dresses until around 8 weeks before the wedding date. I often speak to brides who are on a fitness plan and worry about booking in too soon.
The secret is for us to make the best plan together and ensure everything runs smoothly with regards to timings, especially throughout peak season.

Timescales
: Your initial consultation at the studio should be scheduled 3 months before the wedding. During this appointment we will just discuss requirements and finalise a quotation.This ideally needs to be booked in the diary as soon as possible to ensure availability (upto 12 months in advance)
: First fits are generally 8 weeks prior to the wedding.
: Most brides need an average of 2/3 fits depending on the complexity of alterations.
: Your final fit will be scheduled 10-14 days before the big day to ensure we get the Perfect Fit ❤️

Please DM, comment or text if you would like to secure your first 2025 appointment.

Deb x
