The process Toni goes through in her mind, within a brides’ consultation, is broken up into 3 simple stages.
1. What is the most flattering shape for her?
2. Which base colour best suits her skin tone and colourings?
3. What detail can be added to personalise this dress whilst working to her requirements?
Toni has devised the new ‘Juste Soie’ bridal collection, directly from this personal research and experience. The sample dresses are ‘just silk’, very plain base shapes for Toni to work her magic on!
Enabling her brides to visualise the 3 stages of design, one at a time and be involved like never before, from start to finish.

From Toni-Anne;
"As a bride, your involvement would include, firstly, being able to concentrate on choosing the right shape for you without being distracted by all the detail, that you may not even want! You can appreciate my honest advice and suggestions as I explain what works and why it works best for you! Secondly, to choose the best colour for you, I will drape large fabric samples over your shoulders so you can see for yourself, in front of a mirror, how different colours reflect off your skin tone and work with your hair and eye colour! Thirdly, we discuss briefly what detail you would like to have on the dress. I have options of contrasting colours and textures, silk flowers, beading and lace appliqués. I would talk you through and experiment with what detail would work with the shape of the dress and the colour you have chosen. This stage of the design is what is going to make this dress an absolute original. But this, the finer details comes later!"

"By the time we are at the stage of finalising the dress detail, you will be standing in front of a mirror in your own dress, the right shape, right colour and fitting perfectly!! I will pin on all the extra detail exactly where it needs to go. You will see your unique design appear right before your eyes!!"

Working together from start to finish on a one to one basis, offers so much flexibility. This means that an individual design can also work within an individuals’ budget! This same helpful advice is offered to all Toni’s clients looking for an outfit for a special occasion. Also providing outfits for mother of bride and bridesmaids with co-ordinating accessories and men’s formalwear for hire, her advice and suggestions can expand beyond the bride and to her friends and family too. Toni-Anne is here to help in whatever way she can.
