Anne Blanchard Bridal Wear

Working with you and your ideas to create a unique wedding dress of your dreams that is meticulously crafted using couture techniques for the perfect fit. Based in north Kent / South East London. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to make an appointment. “I wish there were 10 stars because Anne would deserve every single one! She is an exceptional dress maker, made me feel like a star in my wedding dress and I couldn’t have imagined anything more perfect. Anne’s attention to detail, professionalism and passion for her job is a true inspiration and the outcome is evident in her work. My dress was made to perfection and it was a reflection of Anne’s creative skill and her dedication in ensuring that I was happy with the result. She worked tirelessly to source the best materials for my dress, not being afraid to experiment with various shapes and textures and offering her outstanding knowledge and experience. Together we created something that every bride would dream of. The fit was perfect, everything about my dress was sensational. Anne is also a wonderfully kind person and it was a pleasure to spend time getting to know her throughout this journey. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.” “Anne made 9 bridesmaids dresses for my daughter’s wedding last year. She designed exactly what we had in mind, sourced all the fabrics and accommodated everyone’s busy schedules for fittings. She was totally professional and delightful to work with and the dresses she produced were simply the most gorgeous and flattering bridesmaid/evening dresses we had all seen. They looked amazing on the wedding day. Everyone complimented them. I cannot recommend Anne Blanchard more highly.” Such a pleasure to make and such a delight for a little girl. Design can be to compliment the bride or bridesmaids, keeping the ideas simple or adding embellishments, lots of tulle, lace and crystals to add sparkle, or a sash to match the bridesmaids or colour theme. I am getting more and more requests to make prom dresses as this occasion becomes ever more popular. An opportunity for young girls to be involved with the design process, the choosing of fabric and embellishments. To own a unique couture dress, is an experience to treasure. As this event is usually in May, it is good to plan ahead and make an appointment for January. “I cannot recommend Anne enough. Her attention to detail is superb and her ability to listen to ideas, suggest design and textile options at crucial points and share her professional opinion was honestly an incredible experience. I L.O.V.E T.H.E D.R.E.S.S. Anne helped me to create. The choices I had regarding the skirt were endless: how the pleats were going to fall; inserting a central lace panel; deciding on the intricate detail of the buttons at the back of the dress and how long the train was going to be were just a few of the decisions we made together. THANK YOU, T.H.A.N.K Y.O.U Anne for all your design and sewing expertise, kindness and most of all infinite amounts of patience as you made this beautiful dress happen!”

Anne did an amazing job altering my wedding dress. It needed quite a few alterations by the time our wedding came around - it needed to be taken in, the hem taken up as well as the straps taken up. Anne was so helpful and friendly and completed all the alterations very quickly. She did an incredible job!

I am extremely satisfied with Anne's service. I am glad I found her to make my wedding blouse and veil. Although it was her first time making a blouse for a saree, she did an amazing job. She was very attentive and careful from the beginning process of consultation to choosing the fabrics to prototyping and the final garment. She catered every ideas I had in mind and made them into reality. She was very flexible with appointments and finished the work well in advance. I would definitely recommend her.

Anne altered my wedding dress and was amazing. I had a different dress which had gone wrong with a different seamstress which meant I went to Anne with my new dress and a tight timescale before my wedding. Anne made several alterations to my dress, including pulling it in as it was over a size too big. Anne’s prices were reasonable and she worked quickly. I would recommend Anne to any bride as she was so friendly and helpful!

Anne did an incredible job with the alterations on my wedding dress. When I received my dress from the bridal shop, I was really disappointed with it as the sizing was strange and it didn't hang right as it had done when I tried on the sample dress. Anne took the time to turn this dress into my perfect dress! She's so lovely to work with and was really patient, responsive and kind. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Anne is an amazing dream wedding dressmaker. I came to her with a dress I had bought online which was far too big in the bust. She not only painstakingly removed sequins and delicate stitching to make it fit perfectly but also added further beautiful details to make my dress beyond my wildest dreams. So many compliments on my dress. Thank you Anne x
