Wedding Dress Alterations Essex | The WED2B Marianna Wedding Dress
The Marianna gown by Viva Bride at WED2B is a romantic A-line wedding dress featuring beautiful floral lace, a softly structured bodice and a flowing skirt that creates elegant movement.

Although beautifully designed, every bride has a unique body shape, meaning even a brand-new gown usually requires alterations to achieve its full potential.
Professional bridal alterations ensure the gown fits securely, photographs beautifully and remains comfortable from the ceremony through to the evening celebrations.

Kind Words from My Chigwell Bride

“Just absolutely incredible! Zen made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. My wedding dress looked absolutely beautiful! Quite a lot needed altering, including shortening the dress while preserving all of the beautiful detailing around the hem. She made sure I didn’t lose any of that detail. If I ever needed another seamstress, I wouldn’t go to anybody else. Thank you so much!”
