“Louise, I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for making my beautiful beautiful dress. I adored wearing it and it made me feel so like a princess that I really didn’t want to take it off (that and the fact there were 43 buttons to undo!!). I had endless compliments about it and people loved that it was a little bit different to the average wedding dress.”
Sarah Batty
“I loved my dress so much, I just wish I could wear it again. It was a perfect choice. It was a very elegant dress, the jacket was just gorgeous and made me feel very special. Louise helped me to find the right fabric to suit my skintone and decide on dress shapes. Louise also made me so welcome on fitting appointments which are now wonderful memories of my wedding journey.”

“I loved the fact that Louise creates each dress herself. I tried on all of her designs and, honestly, I loved each one, but when I tried on Iris, I literally had that ‘this is the one’ moment. I didn’t really believe that happened in real life and so was very excited when it did! I don’t know how to describe it other than the dress felt ‘me’. Some of the others, though beautiful, felt a little too grown up somehow, but Iris felt totally right with it’s beautiful, sheer lace back with tiny beads that glittered so subtly and stunning flowing shape. It felt truly unique.”

“The entire dress process was a memorable experience. I had been rather suspicious of the ‘princess’ culture of most wedding dress shops, so it was a real pleasure to spend time at your lovely studio instead. It was a privilege to be fitted by the same person who was making it.”
Lucy Begg
