Wilden Bride London

Charlotte has made the whole experience of choosing a dress so easy and wonderful. Every panic I have she calmed me and always gave such helpful advice. I have the most beautiful dress as well! Couldn’t recommend her enough.

I’m 5 days away from W day and there’s a beautiful dress hiding upstairs. I knew I didn't want a run of the mill wedding dress but am no expert, enter Charlotte...She listened to everything I said, added real creative flair and has made a beautiful one of a kind dress. Time will tell what everyone else makes of it but i’m pretty confident!

I don't really know where to start when it comes to being grateful that I found Charlotte. Since childhood I'd known I wanted a pre-raphaelite style dress, highly detailed and yet still flattering. It was also very important to make sure we kept the dress modern and bridal enough so as we didn't drift in to "costume". From the very first sketch, charlotte just got it and I pretty much gave up looking elsewhere! From start to finish, nothing was a problem, everything was achievable. She has so many ideas and techniques up her sleeve that anything is possible. Charlotte is unerrrigly calm which is just what I needed! We worked together on finding different aspects of the detail which made the process fun and the result perfect. It's difficult to explain how much I love my dress and has surpassed my any image ofvitvthat I had imagined. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone and particularly a bride looking for something a little more interesting or different than you'd find in a standard boutique, as this is where she excels. I am so thankful to have found Charlotte and for everything she has done for me. I know she will go on to achieve great things. Wedding is next weekend so no photo yet!

From the moment I saw Charlotte's blog and website I knew that I wanted her to make my wedding dress. She was great at listening to my ideas and provided lots of guidance along the way. Charlotte was always friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the dress. Overall I would highly recommend Charlotte if you're also thinking of going bespoke!

From the moment I found Charlotte's website and blog, I just KNEW I had to have her make my wedding dress. Each of her dresses were so unique and personable to the bride, and my dress was no different. I felt so safe in Charlotte's hands throughout the process and I really felt like she listened to what I wanted and was able to produce a dress(s) that I could never have dreamed of!! A part of me wishes I could do it all again, just so I can have another dress made by her!!

Charlotte is a fabulous dress maker and very versatile with her styles. She did a brilliant job of making my ideas come to life. Nothing was to hard and she was always willing to try something new and any request was no problem even when i changed my mind about some bits. The hand sewed detailing on my dress of tiny beaded flowers over the creeping lace vines and spiderwebs was divine and i truly felt like a princess fairy in my dress on my big day. She also had to keep in mind that i would be going swimming in it a few days after the wedding for a photo shoot so she had to design the skirt to be layered but light enough to swim and so it would look soft and lovely in the photos in which she did. I'm so pleased i went with Charlotte to get something individual designed and made to my specifications rather than just something off the rack. It made our big day even more special and i would highly recommend her to anyone.

Wearing charlottes dresses make you feel like an absolute princess. I managed to get my hands on one of her masterpieces for my prom and it made my night so memorable to be feeling comfortable, cool and glamorous, and to be awarded the best dressed of the night! In the height of summer the thought of wearing a heavy dress long dress was my biggest worry, but wearing charlottes dress was so light and floaty keeping me cool all night, even on the dance floor! Her dresses are bespoke, stunning and pieces of art and the best decision I have made and hopefully you will make the same decision as well when choosing your wedding/celebration dress. Xxxx

My now husband and I are both wedding photographers so the game was ON to come up with epic engagement photos! Our Hawaii elopement was all arranged and I already had my dress for that but when I spoke with Charlie about a dress for our Iceland engagement shoot, she came up with an incredible plan (which was great as I rather unhelpfully had no idea what I wanted!) She had the vision of emerald green to really pop against the scenery, with billowing chiffon to catch the wind. The dress was just perfect and I felt like a million dollars! On the downside, I nearly froze to death on a glacier but a girl has to suffer for her art! I had SO many compliments on this dress. I can't thank you enough, Charlie! xx

After very nearly giving in and buying a dress that was lovely but in my heart I knew it was 'just not me' I found myself sitting in a coffee shop wincing as I explained my dream dress to Charlotte. I wanted a giant bow, pink dip dye, embellishment, a fluffy veil and an Lanivn-esque feel. "Is that utterly ridiculous" I asked, I definitely would have got a few raised eyebrows from my Mum and girlfriends. She smiled and I knew instantly that Charlotte understood my vision (despite my rambling description). From there on in the journey was an absolute delight. Through knowledge, guidance, exquisite craftsmanship and an abundance of style my dream dress was created. It was perfect and will be proudly cherished as the art piece it is, for ever.

After months of looking through London boutiques for the perfect dress and having no luck I turned to google for a dress designer and Charlotte's website came up. From my initial comms with Charlotte she was very responsive, friendly and helpful. I visited her Epsom studio with pictures of dress ideas and Charlotte quickly sketched out a silhouette of a beautiful dress. As a perfectionist, over the next couple of months I changed my mind over lots of little things but Charlotte was always supportive and provided positive advice and feedback, never anything negative or overbearing. I flew the dress back to New Zealand to get married and from the moment I put it on I knew I had my dress, it suited my figure so well and Charlotte had captured all the dreamy detail I had imagined. Thank you again Charlotte for making it such an easy and enjoyable process and of course, I wouldn't have changed my dress for the world!
