Evie, where do I even start! ♥️
Well, I bought a dress from WED2B, with the intentions of changing it quite a bit, but not knowing how to! Evie at Naya Bridal was recommended, and it was the best decision I ever made!
From the moment I met Evie, i felt like she was my friend! Not only that, she is so professional, has a really creative eye with lots of ideas, and just in general and all round lovely human being. Her studio is beautiful too.
We decided to remove the original belt that was on the dress and create a new one. I am still obsessed with how much this belt changed the whole look. So simple but just perfect!
I really liked the idea of having two looks from one dress so we went for detachable sleeves.. she made them absolutely beautifully! Little puff sleeves with button details on the wrists! They were just perfect for my first look, and then for later on, I simply took them off and had a sleeveless dress for the evening.
The original dress had a completely different back that I wasn’t so keen on, so she took that out as I wanted to have more of an open back dress. She used the same fabric from the sleeves and created a bit of lace detailing on the sides creating an even more beautiful open back.
She also popped a couple of buttons on the back of the dress so I could lift the train up! There was A LOT of train so she did so well to get that pinned up! I couldn’t believe it!
She also did other alterations to make it fit better as it was a bit big originally.
Evie you made my dress even more amazing than I had imagined! In the beginning, I was so nervous to think I was ripping a perfectly normal dress apart, and making it completely different, but you had me at ease the whole time, and the result was a dream come true! I felt like a princess on our wedding day, and everyone said how elegant and gorgeous the dress was! The sleeves were a winner too, they all thought they were genius!
I’m so sad to think I can’t do this all over again! I will miss our little catch ups.
Thank you Evie from the bottom of my heart for everything you’ve done for me.
