Custom Wedding Dress Design — Create Something Unique
Become The Perfect Version Of You
Sometimes you love a dress but wish the neckline were different. Perhaps you'd prefer sleeves, a different train, more detail or a completely different colour. At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, you can explore the possibilities of making a design your own. Our tactile design experience allows you to see and try real gowns, explore fabrics and detailing, and make informed decisions with personal guidance from designer Lea Stubbs.
See It. Feel It. Experience It.
Rather than relying entirely on sketches or trying to imagine how a design might look, you can explore real gowns and details during your appointment. You'll have the opportunity to consider shapes, fabrics, lace, embellishment and design features in person.

Your Colour, Your Style

Bridal Sizing
Coral arrived believing her dream dress didn’t exist after being offered only tiny sizes elsewhere. At Carolyn Anne’s Bridal, she discovered beautiful gowns up to size 36. Coral's dress was crafted to her exact proportions for a flawless, breath-taking fit.
Beyond The Classic Ivory?
Inspired by ivory and lilac Coral chose lilac satin layered beneath ivory lace and tulle. With over 150 colour options available, her gown was created in the precise shade she imagined, making it uniquely hers which matched her silk flowers beautifully.
A Truly Bespoke Touch
Coral fell in love with one of our princess-style gowns and imagined it with soft, floaty tulle sleeves in matching lace. We brought her vision to life, creating a gown crafted to her exact size, colour, and style—a truly personal masterpiece made entirely for her.

From A Very Happy Bride...
Right from the minute you arrive, everything is made to make you feel so welcomed and you're really given a great and personalised service. I was so worried being a plus size bride that i would look awful in anything i tried on and i was made to feel like an absolute princess. When i finally decided on The dress. i made colour changes, added sleeves and other various things. All was listened to and exceeded my expectations. I think the price point is very reasonable considering the service and product you receive is amazing! Thank you so much Lea, I cant wait to wear my dress and show you the pictures
