Kate is hands down one of the best designers I know of. Her wedding dresses are elegant and timeless.I love how they recall vintage motifs while still retaining a modern touch. I have photographed some of her dresses recently and they are just a dream to capture. Besides that, Kate is also an incredibly nice, genuine, thoughtful person and I would recommend her to anyone. I really wish I had seen her work before I got married!

I have had the pleasure of working with Kate on an editorial shoot and seeing her work first hand in her West London studio. As a wedding planner, I rely on vendors who give exceptional service and Kate does just that. If you want to enjoy the process of creating your own bridal look in favour of 'off the rack', I wholly recommend Kate Edmondson.

I'm a wedding planner based in London, and had the great pleasure of working with Kate earlier this year. Her dresses are a DREAM! So contemporary, stylish, and richly luxurious, while still echoing of vintage nostalgia. She's always professional, friendly, and helpful, and her dresses never fail to take my breath away. Thank you so much Kate! Highly recommended!

The whole experience, from first meeting to final dress fiitting was absolutely amazing. Kate is an incredible professional and made this experience really unique. I gave her some photos and ideas on our first meeting and she immediately understood what I wanted. She came up with three different designs based on my ideas and when I picked one we immediately started taking measurement and with the whole process. She helped me choose fabrics and I must say, she only uses the best fabrics, to make the dress even more special. Final results was great, all the guests at my weddding were super impressed

Having Kate design my wedding dress was the best thing I could of done. Kate was so warm and amazing to me and mum and made me feel so special. The fabrics and designs were absolutely stunning, she went out of her way to make me feel incredible before my wedding and on the day. I can't recommend enough any bride who wants a unique and one off dress just for them to go and see Kate Edmondson.

Kate is the most lovely lady who made the most amazing dress for my wedding earlier this month. The whole process was so easy and unstressful, and Kate and I worked to design a dress to suit my shape and chose all the fabrics and details. She gave so much time to making the dress and we had several fittings of a mock up of the dress to ensure I was entirely satisfied with the fit before she began work on the real thing. The dress really was so beautiful and extremely good value for money, and Kate was such fun to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
