“My name is Kate Edmondson, I am a London based wedding dress & accessories designer. Creating modern bridalwear for the fashion forward bride; all our pieces are made on a bespoke basis. We work closely with all our brides, each design is individually cut and made for our client and all handcrafted in our West London bridal studio. We are also often asked to make veils and headpieces for our clients too which are also made on a bespoke basis. I have a background in fashion design having studied at The London College of Fashion and later went on to study for my degree at The Surrey Institute of Art & Design. So I love creating beautiful handmade garments.”
