"Thank you so much for creating the perfect dress for me – it was so special having a made-to-measure dress and the combination of the design and the lace was stunning.  I am so glad that I found you as the vintage style was exactly what I was looking for and it tied in beautifully with the decor and opulence of our chosen venue, Claridges!"

Emma Morton


"Thank you again, Louise, from all my heart for your direction, support and flair.  Being a wedding photographer, I knew I had a huge choice in front of me but I didn't want just a beautiful dress but a dress that would reflect aspects of my inner core.  I was so thrilled when I found the 60's dress.  On the day I felt I was beaming like a star.  You are a great designer!"

"When Tom and I decided to get married in Hawaii, I knew I wanted something "different" but I still wanted to feel like a traditional bride.  When I saw your lace, twenties style dress in Brides, I knew it was perfect.  I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it on and on the day it was just perfect."

"I fell head over heels in love with Louise's chantilly lace dresses.  Exquisitely made, mine not only made me feel a million dollars but it felt beautiful on and I really didn't want the time to come when I had to take it off.  I have never felt that way about any dress before...  which is the way a wedding dress is meant to be."

Susannah Evans-Pollard — former Beauty and Health Editor, Vogue


"The experience was special from the very beginning, as both my mother and mother in law were with me when I realised I had found the perfect person to make my dress.  I had a vivid picture in my mind of how I wanted to look on my wedding day and Louise helped me make this a reality."

"Working with Louise was a pleasure and one of the highlights of the wedding preparation.  Together we came up with a slightly unusual take on a traditional gown – pale pink satin trimmed with iridescent crystals – the fit was perfect and made me feel like a movie star."

Tina Nelson Fordham

My daughter Tina looked absolutely beautiful in her dress."

"Louise understood what I wanted right from the first time we met: something stylish, elegant and gorgeous... just like my husband!

I know it's a cliché to tell a bride she looks beautiful, but so many people said how much they loved my dress - and they're still mentioning it."
