Partaking in Sarah's journey was a delight, a privileged role in crafting the gown of her dreams. Her heartfelt testimonial echoes with the warmth and magic infused by Antoinette and her team—a cadre of professionals who seamlessly blend expertise with an intrinsic understanding of a bride's desires. From the first enchanting moment to the culmination of the grand day, the atelier became a sanctuary of beauty, each appointment an ode to bespoke excellence.

Sarah's narrative unfolds as a symphony of emotions—the anticipation, the transformation, and the joy captured in moments of sublime simplicity. The morning's tumult was stilled by Antoinette's presence, turning stress into excitement and infusing the room with an aura of serenity. The atelier, a haven where dreams were translated into reality, unfolded a tapestry of beauty, making Sarah feel not just special but ethereally so.

​

As a bride with specific design aspirations, Sarah entrusted Antoinette with a basic idea, and in return witnessed the alchemy of creativity. The off-the-shoulder gown, conceived to cloak perceived imperfections, was transfigured into a whimsical marvel, creating memories that resonate with the enchantment of Antoinette's magical artistry. The culmination of this transformative journey manifested in a moment of pure bliss—a waterfront tableau that captured the essence of the day, the dress, and the radiant joy of union.

“From the first moment I met with Antoinette, I knew she was the person I would be using to create my dream gown. Her warmth, professionalism, and creativity, are second to none.
Antoinette and her team are instantly calming, professional, warm, knowledgeable, experienced, and really helped make what could've been a very stressful situation, one of my favourite parts of my wedding. I came in with a basic idea in my head, but I never could've dreamt of the amazing dress Antoinette designed for our special day.
Every appointment in the atelier was just gorgeous. I have never had a dress made before and Antoinette and her team just made me feel so special. I was also lucky enough to have the privilege of having Antoinette come in to dress me on the big day. What a beautiful experience, and one that I'll never forget.

It was quite a stressful morning, trying to coordinate the entire bridal party, and from the moment that Antoinette walked in, started steaming my dress, and got me organised, the mood in the room just shifted, we were all a lot calmer, and all started to get excited for the day rather than stressed out. It was such a special moment to have her there, and to see the culmination of the hours of work that she had put into my amazing gown.

I felt comfortable, beautiful, secure my dress, and so proud to be wearing one of Antoinette's creations. Being a slightly older bride, I had some quite specific design requirements to make me feel comfortable on the day so to see Antoinette take a basic and simple idea in my head (an off the shoulder gown that covered my pain points) and to watch Antoinette then create something that was so unbelievably, whimsical and beautiful, was just an experience that my mum, my sister and I will never forget. It was magical.

My favourite part of the day would definitely be when we had a photo opportunity at the Waterfront
restaurant in Southbank. I sat there with my new husband, eating freshly shucked, oysters, drinking beautiful champagne, and had my dress on full display, feeling so beautiful, and just so happy. One of my best friends captured the moment on her Phone camera and sent it straight to me. Even with all the professional photographs, this is by far my favourite picture of us - and the dress!

I can't thank Antoinette and Amber enough for such a beautiful experience.
The dress was just exquisite and was so beautifully made. It fit like a glove, and for something that was so structured, it felt unbelievably comfortable on the day. I had such a wonderful time, dancing in it, Moving in it, sitting in it, but it all times I felt really comfortable, and most importantly, really beautiful on a day that meant so much to me. I could not recommend Antoinette and her team any more positively. She's an angel.”

​

Sarah's heartfelt gratitude is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and the unwavering dedication of Antoinette and Amber. The exquisite gown, a manifestation of their artistry, fit like a second skin—structured yet yielding, facilitating moments of dance, movement, and pure, unadulterated happiness. In Sarah's words, Antoinette is not just a couturier; she is an angel, a custodian of dreams, and a weaver of bespoke enchantment into the very fabric of cherished moments.
