Stints at Dior, Galliano, McQueen, and Giles (and a degree from Central Saint Martins) prepared British designer Hermoine de Paula for her foray into bespoke bridal. Her flair for "romantic surrealism" in both her prints and her design motifs results in sheaths and gowns that surprise and delight upon closer inspection.
When shopping this line, expect loads of intricate embroidery inspired by any and all things natural—from the ocean floor to English gardens. Brides can take the as is, or work with the house on customizations to each and every element of the gown, from the cut of the silhouette, to the placement of the embroidery, to even more personal touches, like weaving sentimental sayings, motifs, and more into the fabric. From a wreath of pastel blossoms framing a keyhole back to a sentimental line of poetry, or even your wedding date threaded into your waistline or cuff, this designer puts sentimentality, personalization, and quality above all else.
