Commissions
Bespoke Bridal
A deeply personal design process, creating one-of-a-kind bridal pieces through close collaboration, couture craftsmanship and a meticulous understanding of the individual.
Scope
“Having Aimée design my wedding dress was a wonderfully collaborative, creative and very magical experience. There was something that felt very 'Alice in Wonderland' about the whole thing — and we got on so well that she ended up as a guest at the wedding.”
A bespoke commission offers a rare opportunity to connect design to the individual on a much deeper level. From the first conversation to the final fitting, every decision is shaped around the client — their body, personality, references, emotional connection to the piece and the context in which it will be worn.
Bridal work makes that process especially intimate. The client is completely invested in the journey, which creates space to listen, respond and refine continuously. Silhouette, cut, proportion, fabrication and adornment can all evolve through fittings, allowing the final piece to emerge gradually rather than being imposed from the outset.
The work combines creative instinct with couture-level technical precision. Fabric sourcing, embroidery, pattern cutting, toiling, hand finishing and final alterations all sit within the same process, with every detail considered both aesthetically and emotionally. Hidden meanings, personal references and subtle design gestures often become part of the garment's architecture.
What I value most is the trust involved. Bespoke bridal is not simply about producing a beautiful dress; it is about becoming part of a significant moment in someone's life and creating something that feels entirely their own. It is always an honour to be invited into that process.
“Aimée and I worked closely to create my bespoke wedding dress. It was beautiful and original, with the exquisite detail you'd expect from couture — filled with hidden meanings and quite unlike anything I had ever seen. She took me to source the fabrics, tolerated my indecision across many fittings, altered the length 24 hours before the day when I changed my mind about shoes, and was there on the day to make sure everything was perfect.”
