Wilden London - Bespoke Wedding Dress Design

It is difficult to condense the magical experience I had working with Charlotte into a mere ‘review’ but here is a little attempt.. from start to finish Charlotte’s intuition and attentive, patient approach has allowed me to basically dream up the dress from my childhood dreams. From thinking up the concept to choosing materials, to then meeting up and thinking iteratively and adjusting along the way, the whole process was an absolute joy and felt intimate and special. Charlotte understood immediately I wanted a dress full of story, secret messages, and romanticism but with a modern rock/twist and a sprinkle of drama :). She takes your ideas and uses her amazing creative mind and dressmaking skills to give you the absolute dream dress. I will cherish the memories of working on this dress with her forever and will always be grateful to her for how special she made me feel on my wedding day.

5 stars aren’t enough. It’s so difficult to express how unique and magical the experience of working with Charlotte is.
A wedding dress has always been such an important thing to me and I’d considered the idea of bespoke on and off. When I found Charlotte I knew she needed to be the one to make it. I got completely lost in her real brides blog on her website falling in love with dress after dress. Each one seemingly so intricate and personal to the bride.
When we met in person in the gorgeous little studio I felt so excited that Charlotte completely understood my vision and helped craft it in ways I didn’t know how. Going to see Charlotte was my absolute favourite part of planning the wedding. It felt like magic between fittings where all of a sudden calico toiles became a sparkling wedding dress.
Charlotte even made me a last minute matching face mask in case we were instructed to wear them on the wedding day!
To me my dress is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever owned. I can’t thank Charlotte enough, 500 stars!

I had such a specific idea in my head of what I wanted my wedding dress to look like that I knew I would have to go bespoke. When I came across Charlotte's website I knew she was the perfect designer to bring my ideas to life. Each dress she makes is as individual and unique as the women who wear them. She is an excellent listener who can interpret ideas into reality, and she isn't afraid of a challenge! I really wanted an off-the-shoulder style but didn't want to be restricted in my movement as I wanted to be able to hug and dance the night away to my heart's content. Charlotte came up with a design with a beautiful off-the-shoulder strap which could be removed to leave a strapless dress.
I was just overjoyed with the end result! It was everything I had hoped for and more. The cut and fit is perfect, and the intricate embroidery is just stunning. It was a joy to go through this process with Charlotte, and I would highly recommend Wilden London to anyone looking for something a little different.
To top it all off, Charlotte has been such a help as I get my dress dry cleaned after the event, giving advice and getting in touch with companies on my behalf. Thank you Charlotte!

Stop your search and contact Charlotte Wilden now, she will make you dress dreams come true and create a masterpiece that feels 100% connected to your soul’s expression. I found Charlotee in the height of COVID, me in LA and her on the other side of the atlantic. I had a dress but as our wedding changed with the pandemic, so did my desire to wear something that felt more authentic to who I am. Through mail, emails, and video calls, Charlotte brought to life something I could only dream of. Charlotte has met her true calling and her passion is evident in her meticulous craft and thoughtful delivery. I am so grateful for what she created for me and continue to follow her, in awe time and time again for what she is capable of.

I absolutely loved the process of working with Charlotte to design my wedding dress. I’d tried on a few in traditional shops and every time felt like the dress was wearing me, which was not how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. After the first discussions over email with Charlotte I knew I was in safe hands and going to have a dress that suited me. I found out I was pregnant the day after our first meeting at the studio and Charlotte was incredible at adapting the design as we went along so that it fit perfectly on the day. On the day I felt confident and 100% me wearing my dress. The best feeling in the world.

Charlotte from Wilden London created the most incredible wedding dress for me. She was always lovely to deal with, and I never panicked about the timing or the design. She came up with brilliant ideas and solutions, and I ended up with a beautiful dress that was perfect. My friends and family are still talking about the dress! If you are looking for brilliant bespoke service, and a wedding dress that is totally unique that you would never find off the shelf, go to Wilden London x

Working with Charlotte has been such a dream come true. The design process, fittings & travel, and the dress itself just blew me away. I am so fortunate to have found her. She took my ramblings, combined them with her wonderful ideas, and put it all together and made a masterpiece. I do not know if I will ever feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. We actually took photos in an art museum and so many people took photos of me in the dress that I felt like I was a piece of art. I am so happy that I did not go to a traditional bridal salon and opted for this bespoke experience. I will cherish this dress and memories I made in it for the rest of my life.

I just don't think there are words to describe how much I love my dress, when I put it on after I had my hair and makeup done it was like something had clicked and it was just beyond perfect. I was comfortable the entire time and I just felt like charlotte had bought my dream to life!

I contacted Charlotte at the start of planning our wedding, as I'd never felt comfortable with idea of wedding dress shopping experience and didn't like anything that I'd seen at a wedding fair. The moment Charlotte replied I knew I was in good hands!.... Charlotte patiently listened and put me at complete ease and which made handing over my mums silk screen printed wedding dress much easier. Charlotte was great at refining my ideas and guiding me in a direction where we were able to stay true to my ideas and make sure the dress would look great.

I definitely wasn't the creative type or very good at articulating what I wanted, but charlotte was always patient, answered my questions and reassured me throughout the whole process. The dress was so comfortable on the day that I very almost didn't change into my cheongsam! I was never worried about moving the wrong way and popping a button, the dress always moved with me and looked so flattering. Everyone commented on how beautiful my dress was the attention to detail, with the bow, the detachable train and the veil, it was just perfect. Charlotte even put in extra handles because I was worried about tripping on the hem which definitely made my life much easier on the day! Charlotte was also kind enough to help tailor my brocade silk cheongsam which I wore dancing in the evening - her skill was amazing and what is normally a not very comfortable dress not only fit like a glove, but was so flattering. My dress fittings with Charlotte were one of my favourite part on planning our wedding, I never felt rushed or like any idea was too silly. Charlotte's skill, attention to detail and professionalism is something that you won't find elsewhere.
