I honestly can't recommend Susanne Christyne enough, it was an amazing experience to have her make my beautiful wedding dress. I must say, I'm not a girly girl and wearing a dress was a total change for me, I had expected to be a bit uncomfortable but I honestly felt extremely comfortable and like a bride should feel. I hadn't worn a dress in over 10 years. With the help of Susanne Christyne making it to my style and my comfort it was ultimately what I needed and I'm so grateful for that. The dress itself was incredible, gorgeous and as Goldilocks says - it was just right. The confidence Susanne Christyne gave me, it truly was life changing. I've got a friend for life in Susanne Christyne. I trust her and her advice on what's best and what's in style. Anything I would ask for she was happy to complete it and I got the chance to have pockets in my dress and that gave it the touch I loved the most! I felt fantastic in my dress that I didn't want to take it off. I'm so happy I chose Susanne Christyne to make my beautiful wedding dress. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I don’t particularly enjoy shopping in general so I knew wedding dress shopping was going to be long process! I visited many dress shops but felt like they only offered a very small selection of dresses that I would wear and none I felt were for me. My mum found Susanne online and I initially thought having a dress made would be out of my budget but don’t let this put you off, it wasn’t the case! I met Susanne at her beautiful studio and couldn’t believe how simple and thought through her initial trying appointment was. There were so many styles of dress ready to mix and match, different materials and add ons to create a truly unique dress. Susanne really helped to mould my ideas into perfect finishings on the dress. The fitting appointments were lovely experiences and Susanne always made me feel comfortable and excited about the process! She really is a perfectionist, thinks about every single detail and I am so grateful I came across her!

Thank you Susanne x

Where do I begin....

I knew when looking at regular wedding dress shops the dresses were not for me .... I would like parts of dresses but never ever did I look at any dresses and think yes....

So I was back to the drawn board with an eye for design and holding such attention to detail I knew the only dress for me would need to be custom made....

I had ideas in my head exactly what I wanted and how I wanted my dress to be.

So I made the 1st step and searched for wedding dress designers I came across Susannes website, I called and we scheduled  a time for both of us to have a chat.

I think that phone call went on for about an hour at least after just a few seconds I knew I had clicked with Susanne she just got me she listened to every little detail i wished for for my dress. I knew when I came off the call this is the lady to do my dress and I felt so much at ease

After that I went to susannes beautiful studio where again I just felt comfortable straight away we bounced ideas off one an other and I felt all my stress was just lifted I had absolutely no doubt after leaving that I had anything to worry about with my designs I knew I was completely in safe hands.

Unfortunately our wedding was postponed due to travel with covid as our wedding was in Portugal. Susanne took all that in her stride and told me not to worry.

When restrictions lifted I could finally go see my dress completed for the 1st time !!

I will never ever forget that day I cried when I seen my dress I was completely blown away seeing it in person was just a feeling I will never forget, every little single detail was on point. My dress was just beyond words there's no words I can say to describe how much I loved my dress and I cannot thank the very much talented, caring and kind lady that Susanne is. She went above and beyond she didn't just design and make my dress she cared and that I will be forever grateful for.

The time came to collect my dress and Susanne so kindly again told me not to stress to bring the case and she would make sure it was all packed properly, again all thoughtfully done. I cannot thank you enough Susanne

The time came to fly to Portugal for our magical wedding and what a day it was. We had 75 guests at our wedding and each and everyone of them were blown away by my beautiful dress.

Susanne I would not have been the bride I was  if it hadn't been for you.

Much love Lisa

Susanne designed my dream wedding dress in one visit. I couldn’t believe my luck one Saturday morning i was calling round shops to see if anyone had appointments to go and have a look at dresses. I came across Susanne Christyne number on google and she had a cancellation. I hadn’t been to any wedding shops at all,

on arrival Susanne was so welcoming such a relaxed at home feeling i had with her we clicked straight away and had a right good laugh as my 12 year old son tagged along with me and my mum. Susanne was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I remember saying i don’t know what i want, 10mins later we had designed my dress dress through trying some samples, looking at beautiful laces and fabrics and we both put it together.

I was so nervous to go and try my dress when it was finally put together I don’t know why as it was all and more than i ever expected.  On the day I didn’t even know i had it on it was so perfectly fitting. She was honestly so amazing and am so glad i googled wedding dresses Motherwell that morning as i honestly couldn’t be bothered going into town that day.

Susanne listens to everything you think you would like and wouldn’t like and honestly makes dreams come true she is so down to earth and such an amazing person inside and out.

I would recommend anyone to pay that extra and get there dream dress designed for you as no one else will ever have what you had.

I can never thank her enough xxx

Since I was young I had an image of what I wanted my dress to be, I went to a few shops and never seen what I wanted. I was then recommended to chat to Susanne, I was slightly apprehensive about the cost of getting something custom made however she very realistic and i was pleasantly surprised my dad was not haha.  Our first conversation was via telephone and it was unreal she was pulling ideas out my head that I didn’t even know I wanted. She said she would draw up a sketch of what she thought I wanted as a result of that conversation OMG wow. It was exactly what I wanted on paper. From then we hashed out details IE what material, colour prices ect.

Susanne was always very transparent no hidden cost and also told me what she thought would look good on my body shape.

My first meeting with Susanne was so amazing she made me feel totally at ease I tried on a few different lengths of skirts just to be sure of the length I wanted.  She frequently kept in touch with me although to be honest I trusted her from minute I spoke to her.  She had an amazing selection of different pieces in her unit to try.  When the first silhouette was made I was beyond excited it was so much better than I could ever have hoped.

From here we sorted out the finer details lace vs Jewels obviously had to have both nothing was too much

. She also added a personal touch for my gran and niece to the dress which no one could see but meant so much to me.

Susanne also sorted out my veil, head dress, underskirts and taught my bridesmaids how to sort me out on the day- she even stored my dress until the day before the wedding mainly because I couldn’t be trusted not to have it on.

My experience with Susanne was first class I cannot recommend this woman enough I will 1000% be passing her details to anyone who is needing a gorgeous gown.

From the moment I met Susanne we instantly clicked. I had never thought of getting my dress made however now I don’t know why anyone would just buy from a shop. Why would you not want a dress that no one will ever have. Susanne made the whole experience absolutely amazing, she got to know me and my facial expressions very quickly and knew the exact vision I had for my big day. She made me feel at ease and was always so welcoming when I invited family along to help pick my dream dress. My dress was absolutely stunning, I can’t thank of recommend Susanne enough. She is a really life fairy godmother.

I wish I could do the whole experience all over again!
