The other kind of detail. ✨

Yes your dress detail and design are super important, but what we like to do differently is also focus on the smaller (and bigger) detail.

That’s why we focus on stationary, and your big box, because receiving your dress in a dress bag just doesn’t cut it for us 😘.

We pit@so much love, time and creativity Into each piece that we present your dress as a gift, because it is our gift to you. And it’s from the bottom of our hearts 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you for all the messages and wishes. Ollie and I appreciate the incredible community so much!

C R E A T E 🖊️ 🪡 🖌️

A process often overlooked and overshadowed by imports but which can never fully be unique and individual. The creation process is one where we take elements that make you, you and turn them into something beautifully recognizable while capturing your true essence.

Walking down the aisle and being seen for the first time should showcase your beauty and individual being.

Together with design and detail we can create something that is perfectly you for your special day 🤍🤍🤍
