A ONE OF A KIND DRESS | DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR YOU
YOUR BESPOKE JOURNEY
The past 11 years have afforded us the honour of working with some of the most talented and innovative bridal designers the industry has to offer, and with the feedback of our brides, we have developed a curated selection of the most exquisite dresses to showcase in our studio.
We have also learned that not every bride has that 'one' perfect gown.
What we do know is this...the bridal world has never been more full of creativity and wealth of choice than it is today. We as consumers are becoming more discerning on what we buy, who creates it and whether it brings us joy, some brides are asking themselves, 'How can I make sure my wedding dress is really me?'
This is the fundamental idea from which our Bespoke Design service was born.
Maybe you've known exactly what you would wear down the aisle for as long as you can remember. Maybe you've never thought about it right up until this moment. Our Bespoke Design service provides a safe, encouraging and inclusive space to workshop your ideas and shape them into something spectacular.
And hey, what's cooler than being able answer "Where did you get your dress?!" with "I designed it at Babushka Ballerina!"?
