A Moroccan wedding in Marrakech calls for a unique wedding dress. Anna found a vintage gown she instantly loved. We shortened the train and used some of the fabric to add width to the hip area. Additionally, we created a veil adorned with a golden lace border. She looked absolutely incredible!

You might have dreamed about your wedding dress for some time and have a clear understanding of what type of bride you want to be. In case you don’t, we recommend doing your research before you purchase your wedding outfit.

1. Is it a beach wedding or a wedding in a luxury Manor House? The bridal outfit you’d choose might be very different.

2. What time of the year are you getting married? Some brides love the idea of a winter wedding wearing a beautiful faux fur bolero, whilst others prefer a hot summer’s day for a light chiffon look.

3. Understand your body shape. Choose and buy an outfit that complements your body shape. A dress that supports your silhouette makes a difference in how you look and feel on the day. A good fit creates confidence.
Alteration costs tend to be lower for dresses that work well with your body shape.

❗️Regardless of your choice, set a budget for bridal alterations, have your wedding dress fitted and ensure it fits you perfectly on your wedding day.

Where to start with bridal alterations?
It is a step-by-step process. The first step is to ensure the top area of your outfit fits you well. We look at the waistline and put it into the correct place. We regularly lift the waist and occasionally lower it. We look at the shoulders, the armholes, the sleeves. Once the top fits well, we alter the length of your dress.
