"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 met Louise at the Designer Wedding Show and loved her dresses immediately!  After a great consultation my mind was made up that Louise was definitely the designer to make my dress, she was personable, patient and had great advice.  I really wanted a vintage 1950's focus but with a modern twist and the lace we chose for the dress and the short veil were perfect."

Jessica Lawson


"I so loved wearing my beautiful wedding dress you made and cannot thank you enough for making the whole process flow so well and so calmly.  The dress was perfect and I hated taking it off!"

"So many people have said to me that the dress was the nicest dress they have ever seen at a wedding.  Thank you for making me feel so wonderful on my wedding day.  You were so professional and yet the experience was so personal.

We had the most amazing and happy day at our wedding and you played a major part in making it such a special experience for me."

Abigail Khanna


"I wanted a wedding dress with a delicate vintage feel that was nothing like I'd ever seen.  Louise interpreted my dream and made it a reality.  The back view was very important and she created the most amazing lace train to fill the aisle in the huge abbey where we married.  It looked so incredibly dramatic!"

"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


"Thank you so much for your help in making my wedding day just the most fantastic day of my life.

I felt comfortable, confident and, most of all, really beautiful and special all day.

The fabulous dress fitted like an absolute glove - I got so many compliments."

My daughter Tina looked absolutely beautiful in her dress."

Lady Needham, Tina's mother


"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."
