Hello Anne & Jill!

I wanted to thank both of you for such great service and for creating such a beautiful dress! It was one of the most comfortable dresses I have ever worn and everyone who attended the wedding thought it was just amazing! We had the best day ever! I don’t think my day would have been the same without both of you!

Kind Regards

Hi Gill and Anne,

I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for the wonderful dress that you created for me. I felt fantastic on the day and also really felt like ‘myself’, which was so important. Thank you for all your work and for being so lovely to deal with. As an interstate bride, this made the whole thing much more relaxing!

Best wishes,
Justine.

Hi Anne and Gill

I want to thank you – I absolutely loved the dress! Everyone who has seen the pictures keeps commenting on it being such a gorgeous, classic gown. I loved that it was elegantly different to the standard bridal gown that the majority of brides seem to choose. I know everyone says it but I really didn’t want to take it off! It made me feel so special, so thank you very much for all your hard work!

Take care and keep making your beautiful dresses!

Louise

Hi Ann and Gill

Thank you for your wonderful efforts on my dress! Everybody loved my dress and even now I still have people commenting on how beautiful it was and how much it suited me. It was thanks to the lovely Gill that I even picked that dress as I had something completely different in mind. You are both amazing at what you do and I want to just say thank you. The dress is obviously such an important feature on any girl’s wedding day and you made mine perfect!

Thanks again
Louise

Nadine

Hi Gill and Anne,

Thank you so much for all the quality work you did on my dress to make it the most perfect fit for me. I will always remember my visits to you – your kind and personal touch was so appreciated and you made me feel like the one and only special bride in your studio every time! Thanks again for playing such a big part in our special day.

Take care,

The ladies at Paddington Weddings are professional and yet welcoming. I immediately felt at home walking through their door and awed by their amazing products but much to my delight Gill quickly turned this feeling into one where I felt truly special. The attention, care and understanding the team at Paddington Brides provided was wonderful and made my journey at finding “THE dress” into a wonderful, fun and relaxing experience rather than the daunting one it had been. I adore my dress, it’s an absolutely stunning design that will last through many years and perhaps my daughter will wear it someday too. Paddington Weddings really played a big part in making my day just right – thank you ladies.

Nicola Petrie

“Dear Gill and Anne, This is just a quick email to thank you again for my elegant wedding gown. So many family and friends commented on the luxurious fabric, unique but classic style and stunning detail. As Scott so simply put it, ravishing! I also adored my veil which became a flowing feature of our photography. Although I looked bridal, I still looked like me and I was so comfortable all day which I attribute to your beautiful work. Working with Bertossi was always a pleasure. What stands out is your relaxed and genuine approach; I always felt so at ease. I will of course be recommending you to any and all! From Nicola Petrie”

“Hi girls, Just wanted to send through some photos from my wedding on 10 May.
We had an unbelievable day, and I had so many comments saying that my dress was the most beautiful wedding dress they had ever seen! It really was magical, and I felt like a princess!
Thank you again for your marvellous dress-making talents! Karen Hendry.”

Erin

Hi Gill! I wanted to say a big thank you to you and Anne for all your help with my beautiful dress. You were so helpful in all the fittings and with making the alterations to the “Erin” to make it suit my style of Erin perfectly! Coming to your shop was a lovely and pampering experience and you were both always so friendly and warm.

So a big thank you from myself and Ben too — the ivory dress was a complete surprise and he really liked it. I liked it so much that we sat all dressed up on the floor of our hotel room after our wedding while we sipped champagne looking at the view and enjoyed it for a bit longer!

“Dear Anne and all the girls at Paddington Weddings,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all of you help with my beautiful dress. My dress was gorgeous and I got so many compliments on the day. Everything worked out just as we dreamed it would, something we thought might not happen planning a wedding from the other side of the world. I have attached a photo of my husband and me in my dress. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who asks me about wedding dresses in the future. Thanks so much – Emma and Justin”
