May 2008 Diary:
Congratulations to Marianne who was married on the 8th December at Stoke Park.
TESTIMONIAL by Jane L:
"Chantal is a couture designer and artist who, in my opinion, is one of the best designers of her generation.
She has expert practical ability combined with a powerful creative vision and cares deeply about her clients, taking the time to listen to their aspirations for the perfect gown.
If you are lucky enough to secure Chantal's services (and she is growing in demand - so get your booking as early as possible) you have discovered a designer with artistic vision many can only aspire to achieve.
When planning the design, Chantal spent a lot of time working with my body shape (its good bits and not so good bits!) and was practical and honest about the style, colours and cut to flatter my figure and skin tone. As a result, not only did I have a beautiful gown but a work of art, designed specifically for me. Needless to say, it enhanced my assets in every way and turned a few heads on the day!
My wedding day was also enriched by Chantal's expertise - my hair and make-up were also completed to perfection. Plus she was at hand all day to assist with any 'wardrobe' requirements, and even to calm my wedding nerves.

For all you girls out there who may find the need to explain to your future husband the importance of your wedding dress as the focal point of your day, this analogy may help - I know I used this on my future husband. If Chantal were building motorbikes, not dresses (please stay with me on this one) they would be custom choppers - the ultimate bikers dream, where fantasy becomes reality and every last detail is designed to make a personal statement, and most of all to get noticed – but in dress form of course!
Thank you so much Chantal, you really did help to make my wedding day very memorable."
TESTIMONIAL by Jane:
"Most brides know what they don’t want, but can not pin down exactly how their dream dress would look. With me this meant ruling out all of the high street and most of the designer competition with weeks of trawling through world wide web pages. After being inspired by her designs on the website, during the first meeting with Chantal I felt totally confident that she was capable of interpreting my vague and abstract thoughts in to “the dress”. It is because Chantal is an artist not just a talented dressmaker that she has the vision to create the perfect gown for each client.
