Elizabeth was a dream come true!! For someone who is in the wedding industry and has worked at a bridal boutique for years, I struggled to find my dream gown. I came across Elizabeth and knew going the custom route for my wedding dress was the way to go. If I could choose one experience during my planning process that was my favorite, creating this dress with Elizabeth was it! She talked through every step with me and was very financially transparent when we wanted to add something to the dress or even when we were initially designing it. Throughout the process, I very much trusted her opinion on the placement of lace, choosing fabrics, etc. What was fun about this process was that you could change your mind on small details throughout if needed. At one appointment, we were getting ready to pin the off-the-shoulder straps on, and there was a raw edge pleating at the top of the bodice. After seeing it, I decided off-the-shoulder straps were no longer in the vision and that I loved my dress without them, and we all agreed that was a better route to go. On my wedding day, I truly felt like a princess, and this was the dress of my dreams. What made it special was it was one of a kind and that I got to create it with Elizabeth. It was an experience that I will cherish forever and truly believe every bride should consider! 10/10 recommend Elizabeth to anyone and everyone needing a wedding...
Read moreLEESE. Omg. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this amazingly talented human. I was fortunate enough to have connections to Leese from a good friend and nearly two years before my wedding, she was already hard at work with my ideas. She went above and beyond even last minute to capture my personality and style with my "jumpdress" and even sent me the original sketch with a heartfelt note and well wishes. I cannot count on my hands how many compliments I got on my unique wedding day outfit and my bride was absolutely speechless. Leese worked so hard to make sure I was truly happy and was clear and communicative from start to finish. I have never felt so special as Leese made me feel in this one-of-a-kind design. Thank you thank you...
Read moreElizabeth designed and hand made my wedding dress, and it was the absolute best experience!! She brought to life an ever more gorgeous dress then I could have imagined, and was so so sweet and easy to work with throughout the process, and is so so good at what she does. She was seriously the biggest blessing!! I was involved in every single decision made in creating the dress, and it was so fun seeing it come together each fitting that I had. I had a dress emergency the day before my wedding (that was my doing) and she went above and beyond to get my dress back to its perfect form without hesitation. Getting married is so special in general, but walking down the isle in an Elizabeth Leese dress just made it that much...
