The service was exemplary and the final product was better than anything i could have imagined. Deanne was lovely to work with and trusting her was the best decision I could have made for my wedding gown. Thanks Deanne xx

Deanne was a recommendation from a girlfriend of mine who had a breathtaking custom gown, I knew from the moment I saw her dress that I had to have Deanne make my own. From the moment I walked into Deanne's studio I felt to relaxed and confident. It was the most pleasant experience of gown shopping I had, it was my favorite process of the wedding planning and it was all because of Deanne's calming nature. She had created my dream dress, it fit like a glove and was the talk of the whole wedding. Most people had said it was the best gown they had seen. Thank you so much for all your help Deanne

When I first started looking for my dream wedding dress, I wasn't happy with what was out there in all your typical stores. None of the dresses I tried on gave me that wow factor. I then decided to make a custom dress to allow me to have what I wanted. I google and searched online and came across Lookbook Bride. I wasn't sure of what to expect and was glad to make an enquiry. I met Deanne for the first time and she was such a pleasant and beautiful lady to deal with. She was very professional and knew about the current trends of wedding gowns. I looked at her collection and tried on her gowns and

When I first found Look Book Bride online I thought it was too good to be true, to get a wedding dress made from scratch at an affordable price. With Deanne its all true, she is amazing, so professional in every aspect. It was such an easy process for me, everything was communicated clearly so I didnt need to stress. Deanne I cant thank you enough for making my dream wedding dress come true. I highly recommend Look Book Bride to anyone wanting the wedding dress they have always dreamed of.
