About Millie Couture Bridal

Millie Couture's belief is that every woman should look and feel beautiful on their wedding day regardless to their shape and size.

​

My Name is Leesa, owner and wedding dress designer, and at my boutique I ensure that I have sizes and styles of gowns for all shapes. 

After graduating with a Fashion and Textile degree I started a small dressmaking business form the grounds of my home, doing alterations and then went on to design and make for clients and learning about pattern cutting for all shapes and sizes.

​

Why are we called Millie Couture Bridal?

I wanted my company to represent the years of university and the qualifications that I gained, so I not only run a boutique for standard sized gowns I also design, draft and cut my own patterns and make dresses with pure couture techniques, I specialise in made to measure and my service is exactly that. It also filters off into my alteration service, and I feel it is so important to have the most perfect fit. 

​

I have now been in the bridal industry for 21 years, it has flown by but I absolutely love everything to do with bridal fashion, from designing on a sketch pad to seeing brides for fittings, completed dress, to creating new designs and photo shoots. I am proud for how far the business has come.

​

Not only do we design and make couture gowns we also stock designer gowns sourced from across the globe, have our own ready to wear and Mother of the bride collection and over the years have gained valuable experience in the bridal industry.
