L K BESPOKE BRIDAL - CREATING TRULY UNIQUE, STUNNING WEDDING DRESSES

Lisa loves and designs bridal-wear for real women.  Her approach is personal and it's an obvious passion.  Every creation understands the client's body, their individual beauty, personal vision and their lifestyle.

With 35 years' experience in understanding the bride's desire to be her best self and to express that in their own way, Lisa makes the wedding dress work for them, NOT the bride work out for the dress!

This is where the dress is designed and made for each individual bride.  It's a completely different experience from entering a bridal shop and selecting a gown that's mass-produced and 'off the peg'.  It's a personal experience, where the gown starts with a conversation, enters into the design process and Lisa works through every stage with you, the bride to create a gown that will make you feel confident, beautiful, spoiled and 'loved'!

Combining her commercial design background, in-depth pattern-making and garment construction knowledge, Lisa works with your vision, vintage inspiration and love and passion for beautiful fabrics to create truly stunning, modern wedding dresses and bridal wear. She brings creativity, intelligence and versatility to her collections, knowing that carefully crafted and interchangeable elements will work for every woman, whatever shape or size.

Graduating with a BA Honors in Fashion Design in 1989 at the University of Bristol, Lisa went on to gain a post-graduate certificate in Fashion Illustration, then specialising in Corsetry, feeding her obsession with fit, the female form and embellishment.  This knowledge and experience, combined with Lisa's skills as an Atelier, give her an unparalleled ability to design and create breath-taking wedding gowns.

Lisa is proud to divide her time between creating beautiful gowns and passing on her skills and knowledge in teaching Fashion Degree students in South-West universities as well as running workshops and masterclasses.

Lisa will have a beautiful array of her garments for you to fall in love with at the fair and all her items are created in Bristol, England.

MOOMIE'S AMAZING ARTWORK FOR 2015!

I'm so excited!  Moomie Swan has done it again and come up with this fabulous artwork for next year's Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair at Clifton Pavilion, Bristol Zoo Gardens.

I love working with Moomie - I just give her a short brief and she runs with it and always 'gets it'.  This year I sent her a couple of photos of Audrey Hepburn in a beautiful wedding dress to give Moomie a feel for the period and style I had in mind ... and she did her research, worked her magic and came back with this amazing 'Roman Holiday' inspired artwork.

I hope you love it as much as I do.  In the New Year watch out for our postcards in shops & cafes throughout the area but, more importantly, keep checking into this blog to read all about our gorgeous exhibitors!

BEAUTIFUL THINGS!

Sorry it's been a while since I've been on here - the wedding world is a little manic (and fun) at the moment but I've been neglecting the blog, so it's time I got some more of the amazing Marie Mann's photos on-line for you to enjoy!  I've chosen a selection of sparkly, silky, gauzy delights, focussing on texture, colour and detail.  More of the same to follow very soon!
