✦ Think about the lighting, especially if you are getting married in winter
✦ Decide on a location that will suit you and your guests

FOUNDED BY CERIS DAVIES IN 2011 After gaining a degree in Fashion Design, I worked for many years in London’s West End, on some amazing musicals and operas. During this time I developed my knowledge of couture sewing techniques, from some of the most experienced people in the industry. Although I still work on a wide variety of commissions, my love for attention to detail has naturally led me to designing and making couture bridal and occasion wear. I am able to work with you to create your own bespoke garment for any occassion. Creating your perfect dress is a very personal and exciting experience, from design to the final fitting. All my dresses are hand made using beautiful fabrics sourced in the UK. As I invest a lot of time into every gown I make, the quality of the final creation is very important to me, however simple or complicated the design.
TAILORMADE TO FIT PERFECTLY You are very welcome to book an appointment for a free consultation to discuss your specific ideas and the process in more detail. Wether you are looking to have a bespoke garment designed or you have your own ideas, I can help guide and develop it into a final, beautiful garment. Bespoke garments such as Bridal Gowns vary in cost depending on complexity of design and fabric choices, but I would be able to give you a quote during an initial meeting once I have an understanding of what you are looking for.
