Meet the team.
Over 25 years of combined sewing experience, a shared love for all things bridal, and one goal - that every bride feels extraordinary in her dress.
Seventeen years of sewing. A lifetime of bridal.
With over 17 years of sewing experience and a passion for all things bridal and bespoke, Sarah works on every bespoke design, veil and custom creation that leaves the studio - backed by a degree in Fashion and Textile Design.
In 2026 she was awarded the South Island "Attire for Her" award at the New Zealand Wedding Awards, having taken both the National and South Island titles in 2025 - recognition of a lifetime of craft, and of the hundreds of brides she dresses every year.
