When searching for couturiers to make my bridal party’s gowns, I came across some pleasing images of Celyna Ziolkowski’s designs. I was fascinated by the amazing fit of her gowns and how the fabric fell beautifully on her model’s bodies. I quickly phoned Celyna and made an appointment with her as I only had 3 months to plan these gowns.

As soon as I met Celyna, I felt so comfortable in having her make my gowns. She was very professional and hospitable, inviting and caring. Her genuine, friendly nature and love of her job showed immediately and I knew right away that she would be the best person to make my bridal party as elegant and as timeless as it turned out.

I had a vision and a particularly difficult colour scheme that I wanted for my bridal party. This included my 2 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls and my mother. I had collected some images and wanted the gowns to be as flattering as possible on all girls. I wanted my bridesmaids to feel as though they were comfortable in their gowns and body shapes. Celyna and I gathered our thoughts and fabric choices, arranged appointments and a schedule. I felt like I had met the best designer. Working alongside Celyna made me realise how good our communication was. Celyna listened to everything I had asked for and it was done to perfection. I was so happy and so was my bridal party.

Celyna Ziolkowski is a pleasure to work with. Her vision and designs are elegant and beautiful. I believe she has an enviable reputation and fantastic design skills which would make her one of the leading couturiers in the industry.
