What our stunning brides say
“Nicky was fabulous from start to finish. I felt so comfortable with her and her work is stunning. The detail, care and love Nicky put into my gown was 100% evident! The gown… actually it was 2 in 1 … with the most dreamy detachable skirt, fit like a dream! Nicky is one very talented lady! Thank you!”

“I came to Nicky with a picture of a dress and the end-result was even better than what the original design looked like. The dress fitted perfectly, was of exceptional quality, and looked stunning. Nicky is both exceptionally talented and a pleasure to work with, unmitigatedly thoughtful and kind, and will ensure the whole process from start to finish is as low stress as possible. Without question, I would recommend Nicky to anyone who is wanting to wear their perfect dress for their wedding day.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Nicky from White Silk Bridal. It was the most amazing experience working with someone so talented and good at her craft. From start to finish, the entire wedding dress process was stress-free (I live out of town so that’s a pretty amazing feat) and so special. I came to Nicky with no idea of what suited me or what I wanted, yet within a short time Nicky had drawn up an incredible design that I not only loved, but that was ‘me’. The finished product was absolutely beautiful – I could not have been happier, and I could not speak of Nicky more highly.
– Aimee



“Nicky was absolutely amazing! I came in with a very vague idea of how I wanted my dress and she created the perfect dress for my day, super patient and understanding and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dress. Thank you Nicky you really were such a massive part in making my dream day a reality.”
– Courtney
“Nicky worked with me to come up with something classic and contemporary that would be a one of a kind piece – and she did an amazing job. It was so special to have something custom made and Nicky was super relaxed and sweet to work with.”
– Leigh
“The dress that was designed for my wedding was so beautiful, and even though it had to be altered hugely when I discovered I was pregnant, it was no hassle at all and was completed so quickly. The craftsmanship is impeccable.”
– Jasmine
“Thank you Nicky for altering my wedding dress and my bridesmaids’ dresses. The way you took in my dress and the detail that you added made me fall in love with it again. You are one talented lady! Thanks so much.”
– Kayla
“Nicky did the most amazing job at creating my dream wedding dress. I went to her knowing little bits of what I wanted and it didn’t take long – she had drawn up a sketch right in front of me, giving me ideas that I hadn’t thought of before. She gave great advice on what fabric would work and look the best, helping me to choose just the right one. The first time I tried that dress on I fell in love. She puts in so much time, effort and love into each dress she creates which makes it such an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend her to everyone wanting a dress made, I love mine so much I can’t part with it. It doesn’t matter what style you want, she can create it all.”
– Sammy

I had so many compliments throughout the night. Thank you for making my Mum feel extra special in her lovely dress too! You are amazingly talented at what you do.” – Holly
