How far in advance should we order a wedding dress?

Most bridal designers recommend allowing at least 6 to 9 months for a made-to-order dress, plus additional time for alterations. Bespoke and made-to-measure pieces require the most lead time. Always confirm production and delivery timelines when you enquire.

Do I have to wear a traditional white wedding dress?

Absolutely not. Modern couples are choosing jumpsuits, coloured gowns, separates, suits, and everything in between. Many designers in the Book of Love Directory specialise in non-traditional bridal wear and work with you to create something that reflects your personality.

What's the difference between a bridal boutique and a bridal designer?

A bridal boutique typically stocks dresses from multiple designers and offers fittings in-house. A bridal designer creates their own pieces — either as part of a collection or entirely bespoke to you.

How many fittings will I need?

Most brides need between 2 and 4 fittings. The exact number depends on how much alteration is needed. Your designer or boutique will advise on timing and what to expect.

Can I bring people with me to my bridal appointments?

Yes — but most boutiques recommend keeping your group small. Bring one or two people whose taste you trust. Check with your boutique how many guests they can accommodate.

Introducing Leim

Say no to the dress. Leim is for people who do not see themselves in a traditional wedding gown, because I never did either. For as long as I can remember I felt the pressure of the dress as if it were non negotiable. But what if it is negotiable. What if there is another way to show up to your wedding that feels powerful, comfortable and completely true to you. Leim is my answer to that question.

Modern Luxury. Sustainable Design. Zero Dress Expectations.

Leim is bridalwear for the modern rebel. Luxurious, sustainable and unapologetically you. Every piece is created with intention and designed to make you feel incredible on your wedding day and on every special day afterwards.

I design jumpsuits you will actually want to wear again. Each one is made to order using natural, consciously chosen fabrics. I keep things slow and thoughtful because the world does not need more throwaway wedding wear. For me, sustainability is not only about what something is made from. It is about what happens after the big day.

Every design can be restyled, redyed and reimagined so you can wear it again for a party, a dinner or simply because you feel like it. I want your wedding outfit to become your anniversary outfit, your going out jumpsuit, maybe even your power suit. Leim is about extending the life of something beautiful because style should not have a shelf life and love does not stop at I do.

How It Works:

Each jumpsuit is made to order in natural fabrics with a focus on comfort, longevity and conscious design. You choose the style that feels right. From there, your jumpsuit is created slowly and intentionally. After the wedding, you can restyle or redye it to give it a new life. Whether you want something simple, something tailored or the option to customise with structure or softness, Leim adapts to you. There is no corsetry here unless you want it. No fluff. No rules. Just the outfit that makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
