For the bride who embraces her individual beauty, and doesn't follow, but rather leads, as the beautiful woman she is.

For a personal, intentional wedding dress design, through an analogue approach and artisan skill (hand embellished detail & traditional pattern making and sewing), visit my designer studio, or schedule an online appointment if you are based abroad or elsewhere in South Africa: [email protected] or send a DM, I would love for you to explore custom bridal at its best.

''I cannot believe you just did that, just like that!? This is exactly what I had in mind. "

''Wow, you simply got the vision.' '

''I feel like I already know you.''

These are not how brides feel at the end of their dress journeys, but at the very first appointment.

With intention and precision, I take your vision and ideas and show you what is possible. Most often, it is a truly fun and unique experience, which makes me fall in love with my design process over and over again. Because every appointment in my studio is as unique as you are.

There are many firsts and un-knowns and never-been-done before's surrounding wedding planning. That's why, when choosing your wedding dress designer, trusting 3 decades of experience make sense.

With a unique approach, I take the abstract and make it tangible, because over these past 3 decades, I have found that bride’s hopes, dreams and fears are still the same. The noise they need to navigate however has increased exponentially. And therefore, my space invites, my rails don’t overwhelm, and my process is calm.

With clarity, precision and intention, I create authentic beauty - beauty you can comfortably celebrate your special day in.

That feeling of just knowing 'this is my dress', even down to the very last detail. Beautiful Kaylin almost gave up on finding her dress, until se discovered the Kelsey design and made it her own.

Do you have wedding dresses I can try on?

Yes, I do. Believe it or not, it is the one question I get asked most often. When you visit my studio, you can try on sample dresses from my own collection, designed and sewn in-house (no imports).

What that means, is that every dress on my rail is designed and made by myself and my dedicated team of seamstresses, they are fully customizable and you can choose a completely unique, bespoke design if you are looking for something more individual.
