Kirsty was a busy paramedic, so wedding planning had to fit around long shifts and a demanding job, but she always arrived ready to enjoy her appointments. She chose Franzina, her wonderful princess gown, and I also created six custom-made bridesmaids’ dresses for her bridal party.

It was lovely to receive Kirsty’s photographs afterwards and hear how much she had enjoyed not only wearing her dress, but the whole journey that brought everything together.

  • My Journey: Finding my wedding dress was one of the most exciting parts of planning our wedding, and Patricia was amazing in helping me choose my perfect princess gown. As a busy paramedic, wedding planning often had to fit around long shifts and a demanding job, but every appointment was something I looked forward to. Patricia made the whole experience enjoyable, relaxed and memorable from beginning to end. Alongside creating my gown, Patricia also designed custom-made bridesmaids' dresses, helping bring together the look I had imagined for our wedding day. When I married Mark, surrounded by family and friends, everything came together perfectly. Looking back at the photographs, I still remember not only how much I loved my dress, but how special the entire experience was.
