I felt a bit lost when I started looking for a wedding dress. I’d ordered a few to try at home, but none felt right, and traditional bridal shops just weren’t for me. Finding Here You Are Bridal on Instagram was a breath of fresh air.

From my first call with Laura, I knew she was the right person. She was warm, understanding, patient and incredibly knowledgeable, making the whole bespoke process feel exciting and enjoyable. As someone who isn’t really a “dress person” or a traditional bride, I felt completely understood, and Laura created something that suited both me and the relaxed feel of our wedding perfectly.

Visiting her beautiful studio was such a special experience, and having a bespoke dress made is something I’ll always treasure. On our wedding day, I had just minutes to get ready before our surprise ceremony, but I felt so comfortable, free and happy in my dress—it was everything I’d hoped for.

I can’t recommend Here You Are Bridal enough. Laura is exceptionally talented, kind and creative, and it was a joy to have her alongside me throughout the journey. I even miss our messages now it’s all over!

From the moment I walked into the HYA Bridal studio, I knew I'd found my place. Everything in there is beautiful; it's a feast for the eyes! Laura was so calm and welcoming, immediately putting me at ease, guiding me through all of the possibilities and gradually helping me to discover what felt right for me.
I loved working with her and felt fully part of the creative journey; from exploring initial style ideas, to choosing fabrics and then working together to finalise the stunning dress she created for me. Not only are her designs and fabrics unique, but so is she.

Laura is fantastic. I highly recommend her for any bride to be. I had the best experience from start to finish. It was a collaboration between myself and Laura. With Laura understanding my vision for my Wedding Dress.
If you are looking for a unique Wedding Dress made with vintage fabrics and materials. Look no further, you will not regret a consultation/visit.

I came across Here You Are Bridal when I was looking for a non traditional and sustainable wedding dress for our elopement to the rocky mountains in Canada. I needed a dress that felt like me and also was suitable for some hiking and climbing on rocks. As someone who didn't want a white wedding dress, it was difficult to find something that felt special enough, that was until I came across HYA.

Laura helped me focus my thoughts and she designed the perfect dress after multiple discussions and a visit to her Brighton home studio. What she came up with was amazing and she listened to everything I wanted. Laura was so responsive throughout the whole process and updated me regularly.

I couldn't be happier with my dress, the design, the fabrics and the fit. All so perfect.

I wanted a unique, individual bohemian dress that would suit an outdoor venue and had no idea where to find it. I was quite overwhelmed and stressed about having to go "wedding dress shopping" as a second time bride in my 40s. Ifound Here You Are Bridal through an advert on Instagram, their sustainable and ethical approach appealed to me, and also their website was reassuring and welcoming. After an initial web consultation to go over the service HYA provide and what it would cost, and deciding they were a good fit for me, I went to Brighton to meet Laura and Hannah at their studio. I tried on samples, they took measurements and we discussed what my dress could look like. This was a really lovely meeting, I went on my own and felt really comfortable and came away confident that they could create a dress for me. This is not the cheapest option to get a wedding dress, but I believe with the skill and talent of Laura and Hannah to create such lovely dresses, created for you as an individual with real care and attention is worth it, and when considering this is a one off, made to measure from antique materials offers good value for money. To me, it was worth every penny.
There were more conversations and videos of the lace they had found for me, before the dress arrived. I thought the timescale was surprisingly quick for the service provided, and I had my dress well in advance of the wedding date.
It is special to have something created for you with such care and consideration for you and how you want to feel on your wedding, and I felt completely relaxed and comfortable all day and night wearing it.
I had so many compliments on the day and after as well, that it was a true, natural representation of myself, that I looked like I belonged in the woodland setting, that it is a unique and timeless dress.
I love my dress, and I am so glad I found HYA!

For my best friend’s outdoor summer wedding, I wore a bespoke bridesmaid outfit, designed and exquisitely handmade by Laura. She paired a flowing earthy green silk skirt with a vintage lace white top, creating a look that was both effortlessly boho and beautifully elegant. It made me feel like I was in a fairy tale!

From the very first consultation, Laura and Hannah made me feel so welcomed and special. They took myself and the bride-to-be through each step of the process and made sure we were happy with the outfit as it was being created.

If you’re looking for a super special unique piece for your wedding or wedding party, I can’t recommend Laura and Hannah’s services highly enough. They work with such enthusiasm, creativity and care. Thank you both!!

I had the incredible experience of having my bridal dress made at Here You Are Bridal, and I cannot praise Laura and Hannah enough for their exceptional work and dedication.

From the moment I enquired, they listened intently to my vision for a coastal summer wedding dress for the Sunday of our wedding weekend, ensuring every detail matched my style and preferences.

Their expertise and creativity brought my dream dress to life in a way that exceeded all my expectations. They used a stunning silk material for the bell sleeves and main skirt, giving the dress a luxurious and elegant feel. The real showstopper was the top design, where Laura skillfully repurposed vintage embroidered fabric, adding a unique and sentimental touch to the overall look. The result was a dress that felt incredibly comfortable to wear and effortlessly feminine.

Over the wedding weekend, I received endless compliments on the beauty and uniqueness of my dress. Guests were amazed by the intricate details and the originality of the design, many commenting that they had never seen anything quite like it at a wedding before.

From start to finish, Here You Are Bridal was an absolute delight to work with.
Laura and Hannah made me feel at ease throughout the entire process, perfectly understanding what I wanted to wear and ensuring the dress was both comfortable and eye-catching.

If you're looking for a bridal boutique that combines exceptional craftsmanship with personalized service, and one of a kind materials I wholeheartedly recommend Here You Are Bridal.
Thank you, Laura and Hannah, for making my wedding outfit so special with a dress that was truly beyond my wildest dreams!

Thank you so much Laura for my beautiful wedding outfit. It was admired by all. Most importantly though, I felt just so comfortable and at ease. The skirt that we designed together was simple and just as I had imagined. You really translated my desires onto cloth perfectly.
