You may know exactly what you want and in what colour or maybe you don't have the faintest clue about wedding dresses. Wherever you are in your dress planning, you no doubt have some idea about what you do and don't like. Whether it's a classically beautiful creation in ivory satin with pearls or a fantastically unique vision in peacock silks,

When I began designing my own wedding dress, I knew I couldn't find what I envisaged in the shops and knew family and friends were expecting something unique. I also had a tight budget, which can very often go out of the window when looking for that perfect gown.

I offer you a personal and professional service, but because I work from home, this enables me to keep prices down for you. I will guide you through a range of styles and silhouettes, and then help you choose your fabric from my extensive list of suppliers, before matching up trims, laces and ribbons.

Then, if you like, we can go on to consider the rest of your wedding party as I can happily create a complimentary look for your maids and colour-coordinated accessories for your groomsmen. From the smallest flower girl to the proudest father of the bride, they can all feel special in a unique creation from Joanna's Bridal.

I specialise in historically inspired and alternative gowns and am now able to offer a bespoke corsetry service. I can also create the perfect matching tiara in sparkling Swarovski and gleaming pearls, jackets and shrugs, veils and a decorative millinery service.

Don't be put off by the fact I 'work from home'. I have a beautifully appointed studio room where you can relax and enjoy your fittings in comfort.

Please contact me to arrange an informal chat about your special day.
