“I didn’t want to go near a wedding shop as I didn’t want to be pushed in to buying something i wasn’t interested in and had heard a few horror stories and so was a little scared of what I might find. Originally I hadn’t even wanted a wedding dress, just a fabulous one and I didn’t even want to wear white or ivory or anything like that. That was until I happened upon an advert for Lindsay Fleming. I looked online and met her at the wedding show at the ‘House For An Art Lover’ and fell in love with every dress she had with her!

I arranged a meeting at her studio in Abington and decided on two dresses. The first was a drop waist that flowed beautifully and the second was the one I ended up deciding on.  It was comfortable to wear and I didn’t feel stuck or suffocated and it didn’t dig in at all! Grace, the designer, made it all so easy, she wasn’t pushy and allowed me to show the dresses to everyone and discuss them without interfering or asserting her opinion. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a high quality, beautifully designed, made to measure dress that they want to fall head over heels in love with. I love the fact that my dress to glance at was quite plain and almost unassuming but had such interesting features and style that it drew you in and captivated you! The material of my dress was also very unusual, it was a silk velvet which make it reflect lovely in the light and was very soft to touch. Grace uses a lot of lovely, delicate and unusual materials that really make the designs a thing of perfection. I really couldn’t have asked for more!”
