Over the last seventeen years, I’ve made lots of ‘unique’ wedding dresses. Every one of them designed and created from scratch to meet a particular bride’s wishes and needs. The dresses shown below give you an idea of what I’ve created to date. And your own dress? That too will be ‘unique’.
Click here to go ‘behind the scenes’ and see a visual scrapbook of my process, my inspiration… and some random moments. (This isn’t just a gallery of dresses!)
