“When Ez and I got engaged we knew our wedding should reflect us and the things we love. My dress search had, until the point I discovered The Couture Company, been disheartening and unexciting. But that all changed when I met Jo at EWE one snowy Sunday and I was soon on her doorstep for my first appointment. Being quite creative, I had pretty solid ideas about what I wanted, and even brought a piece of turquoise silk I’d bought in Hong Kong years earlier. With Jo’s experience and magic touch all the hundreds of ideas bustling for attention were deftly brought under control & made viable, and my beautiful red Japanese kimono crossed with 1950s swing dress hybrid was born!
I loved each visit to the studio for fittings, and was amazed how quickly each stage developed. The service I received was totally professional, always friendly and the dress was top quality – it fitted me like a glove! Soon I was being expertly synched into the waspie corset / obi belt by Jo and it was all done. I was actually a bit sad the process was over but super excited to take it home and show my mum and friends.
On my wedding day I felt amazing in the dress and received a million compliments. Not many of the guests knew what I was wearing so some were a bit confused, but hey – who wants to be predictable! I loved how easy it was to wear comfortably all day – and dance all night in! It was just perfect. So a huge thankyou to Jo & her team for contributing to making our wedding day the best day ever! I have and will be wearing it again – just need the hub to take me somewhere nice now!” Jennie xx
