Bespoke

Creating your own design, developing the style and fit throughout the process can help create the perfect and unique look for you. Using inspiration to create your look removes the search for your dress and ensures all your key features are included in the design.

Flexibility with design, fabric, fit and timing allow you to have complete control of your dress with the full support of our experienced team.

After your toile fitting we finalise your pattern before we cut your natural silks. All our dresses are cut by hand and fully made in our London studio.

Your 1st silk fit will follow, where your dress will be made to the first stage. This fitting will asses the overall fit of your dress in silk, final amendments and bringing all finishing touches together. Depending on the complexity of your design you may require a 2nd silk fitting to finalise any special details such as appliqué or lace details.

Your final fitting will showcase your finished dress, with all final details complete.

Collection or delivery of your dress will be arranged in timing of your wedding day. Your dress will be steamed and packed in preparation.

Real Bespoke Bride

"Choosing a wedding dress is a daunting task, choosing a wedding dress as a plus size woman is even more daunting. Always expecting limited choices, if any, in uninviting corners of clothes stores - I was convinced I would have to settle. However, scrolling through Instagram one evening, the algorithm was on my side and I stumbled across Andrea Hawkes Bridal. Elegant, modern, and minimalist designs, I looked through their Instagram wide eyed. A small business based in North London, all designs made in house, plus size available, and they plant a tree for every bride - sounded too good to be true, but it wasn’t.

From my first appointment to my final fitting, the AHB team provided a wonderful service. Warm, attentive and patient. The AHB studio is calm and has aircon; a cool refuge from the real world, summer heat, and the lengthy list of mounting wedmin. If you are looking for a bridal studio that provides a high quality personal service without being intimidating - this is it.

In my final fitting I didn’t want to take my wedding dress off, I felt beautiful and confident, but most importantly, I still felt like myself. I received countless compliments about my dress on our wedding day and our family and friends continue to tell me how gorgeous the dress was.

A special thank you to Rebecca and Laurie who assisted me during my fittings, as well as Siobhan and the lady herself, Andrea, who helped me with the initial design choices - with Andrea sketching my dress before my eyes.

If you are a future bride, book an appointment at Andrea Hawkes Bridal."
