avorio designer wedding wear

our couture designers

They're quite simply the best of British: in some cases reflecting the current trends of the catwalks, and in others glancing longingly to the glamorous 1920s or the fabulous '50s. Whether you like your gown simple and classic, fluffy and romantic, vintage and glamorous, or Vivienne Westwood-esque, you can be assured above all else of quality - absolute quality. We even have the Queen's very own couturier working with us! The majority of our gowns are hand-made, and the attention that our designers give to detail is quite amazing.

Our close relationship with all of our designers means that we are able to offer you a variety of different services, including a full made-to-measure couture service. With your convenience in mind, we've even negotiated a brilliant deal with a top gown cleaning company, meaning that it's one less thing for you to worry about. Just drop your gown off to us after your wedding day, and we'll take care of everything. And, if you're one of our brides who lives a little further afield, don't worry as we'll arrange to collect it from your very own home.
