Managed to get a long loved dress copied. I thought I would never be able to wear it again. Really happy with both the service and the dress.

In the Final Fitting we double check that your wedding dress fits you perfectly and your wedding look is complete. To do this we need your veil, your accessorises, your shoes and undergarments. We talk you though how to lace your corset if you have one, how to correctly put on your dress, how to transport and store your dress. The final fitting is an opportunity to ask any question in regards your outfit. #perfectweddinglook #beautifulbride #bridalstyle #londonbride #londonweddings #wedding2019 #perfect

Bridal fitting appointment @brideandalter - we shortened and altered this beautiful Christian Siriano wedding dress. It was mesmerising and spectacular and just the right dress for the beautiful bride. #christiansiriano #individualchoice #weddingdressalterations #bridalalterations #londonbride #wedding2019 #weddingplanner #weddingplanning #weddingplanningtips
Wedding dresses come in so many different shapes and formats. We loved this one and the bride looked beautiful. It was a difficult dress to alter due to its straight lines and only few seams. A challenge for the team with a very happy ending. #wedding2019 #together we find solutions #weddingdressalterations #bridalalterations #londonbride #beautifulbrides #stylishbride
