Kind words from Melbourne brides

  • "Wow, where to begin?! I first met Bernadette 9 years ago when she made my sister’s wedding dress, and I knew instantly that I wanted her to make mine when it was time. From the very first visit, Bernadette listened to what I wanted and created a masterpiece that was nothing short of amazing. Her keen eye for detail made my dreams a reality. Thank you, Bernadette, for making my dream gown"

    - Elly

  • "Bernadette was such a a delight to work with. I cannot thank her enough for the most beautiful and perfect dress for our wedding. It was the dress of my dreams and i couldn’t have asked for anything more"

    - Stefanie

  • "The dress that Bernadette created for me can only be described as a work of art! The whole process of working with Bernadette (especially through Melbourne lockdown) was very special. I felt and looked beautiful - thank you Bernadette for making my husband's jaw drop - and making my flowergirls believe I was a princess!"

    - Taryn

  • "My time spent with Bernadette and her gorgeous daughters was one of the best parts of my wedding preparations. My gown was sublime. It made me feel the best I've ever felt in my life, beautiful and confident. My mother also had a great experience, me being her only daughter, this was a once in a lifetime event for her, and she still sends messages of thanks and love to Bernadette and her team. So much love. Couldn't recommend Bernadette's work and service more highly."

    - Sharyn

  • Bernadette is warm, patient, helpful and highly knowledgeable, her guidance made the experience easy. The dress fittings were effortless, Bernadette looked after you and reassured you in the right direction. The dress was made to suit my shape, I felt relaxed and comfortable wearing the dress to my son’s wedding, I received many compliments. Thank you so much, a decision well made.

    -Olga

  • Bernadette did an incredible job of my dress. I wanted to use an antique lace skirt my mum had been married in and add my own modern twist to it. It was a bit of a task and to make it more tricky I got pregnant before the big day!! Bernadette was great though and the dress turned out beautiful! Thank you Bernadette xx

    - Charlotte

  • Bernadette is highly skilled at what she does and you know right away you can trust her to create the perfect wedding dress for you. I felt honoured because Bernadette made my sister's wedding dress and a few years later we came back to her and asked her if she would be willing to re-design the same dress for my wedding. She said yes right away and all it took was a few pictures of styles I liked and she was able to bring it to life! I loved my dress and felt like a princess in it. Thank you Bernadette!

    - Natalie

  • Bernadette created not only one but two perfect gowns for me with the gorgeous fabrics that she chooses from france! I could not recommend her enough! She made the process so easy and was so accommodating and gave great advice! I got so many compliments on the night for both the dresses! They both fit perfectly and the construction was perfect!

    - Danielle

    - Toula

  • Wow wow wow!!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Bernadette. She is such an incredibly talented designer. It fitted like a glove!!! Thank you for creating such a flattering piece that was of such high quality, even putting beautiful pockets in the side and a gorgeous blue bow inside - it's the little details which made such a difference. I would recommend Bernadette to any bride or woman who's after an incredible events dress. Thank you for making my wedding such a special experience.

    - Tineka

  • It was truly the most wonderful experience having my wedding dress (and my mum's wedding outfit) made by Bernadette. She has the hugest heart as well as being highly skilled at dress making. I showed Bernadette images of dresses I loved and she worked with my to bring it to life using her stunning fabric - I still gets comments to this day when people see photos of my dress.
