About You

So, you're looking for an alternative wedding dress?

It’s not always as straight-forward as having a strong sub-cultural look.  Just like everyday fashion, bridalwear works to a mainstream rule book, in traditional colours, according to rehashed trends, in standardised sizes.  But your wedding dress shouldn’t be treated like an everyday garment; it is an incredibly personal, sentimental purchase, that demands sensitivity to your own personal life experiences and self-image.  Just this once, don’t let yourself be dictated to by the fashion gods, who have never even met you!

Here are some reasons why you might choose an alternative wedding dress:

  • You don’t want the bridal store experience, or the “Say Yes to the Dress” moment
  • You have body confidence issues that need to be designed for with sensitivity, by a designer who gets to know you before suggesting bridalwear solutions.
  • Mainstream fashion never has your back, so you’re not trusting it to cater for you on this of all occasions!
  • Maybe you’re a second time bride or a woman with more life experience, who doesn’t need the fuss and time-suck of traipsing from shop to shop.  You know by now what suits you, in whichever colour, so you need that amplified into a knock-out wedding dress. 
  • Standardised sizes never flatter for you, so why would they now?  They can often trigger a negative self image, leading to bride stress!
  • You’ve never fitted into the norm, so now you are ready to rock your own vibe loudly and unapologetically on your big day!
  • The thought of wearing head to toe in bridal white fills you with dread, and you don’t want to test drive that look on your wedding day!
  • You want something beyond unique, memorable and extraordinary, rather than the usual much of a much-ness? 
  • You abhor fast fashion and cookie cutter styles.  You want a garment that has been responsibly and ethically crafted, here in the UK.  
  • You’re simply weary of fusty traditions and conventions and want to be yourself – the unique individual that your partner chose above all others.
