"From the moment I met her to the day she delivered my dress, the process has been super easy and fun. We talked about the look I wanted, she listened well and together we created a design that matched exactly what I had envisioned in my head. We have had several fittings and Jo has absolutely nailed the look I was going for." - Kerry.
"Joanne went above and beyond in the attention to detail that went into my dress and even custom made a matching garter. It was a huge piece of mind to leave the dress fittings knowing that my dress was in the right hands and if I needed anything altered, that it would be done. Jo’s professionalism and talent is second to none and I’m so grateful for her patience, expertise and help during this special time in my life." - Jacinta
"Joanne created what I can only describe as my dream dress. I am still amazed at how she brought my vision to life and it couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you for making me feel like an absolute Princess on my big day through all your hard work and efforts, I will be forever grateful." - Priscilla
"Joanne carefully and thoughtfully used and added parts of my late Mom’s wedding dress to add to the preciousness of my dress and to enable me to include her in our special day. The final creation was elegant, stunning and exquisite. We loved sharing our entire experience with Jo." - Kate
"After many zoom calls and 1000's of Pinterest pictures, Joanne created a dress better than anything I could have imagined!! From designing to wearing it on the day, I loved every second and felt like a princess throughout!..." - Jessica
ILLUSTRATIONS
As a creative soul, one of my joys in life, is when I am designing or illustrating.
This passion has inspired me to offer an illustration service to brides.
This is not only a perfect gift to get for yourself, but also from your Mum or bridesmaids on the Big Day, alternatively as a Wedding Day gift voucher.
"Robyn absolutely loves her illustration and has it in their front hallway...thank you for all you did to make Robyn's day so special." - Sharon, Mother-of-the-bride.
If you appreciate art, love this personal touch and would like to know a little more, just send me a message on the link below.

The couture design experience
I work closely with my Brides and Mothers to create something special. My bespoke creations enhance your body shape and colouring. I design a dress to showcase YOU in your best way.

"Joanne was amazing to deal with from start to finish. So warm and welcoming and truly interested in you as a bride and a person...The bespoke outfit Joanne then created for me was stunning and everything I hoped it would be...I couldn't have asked for more!" - Anne W.
How we get started...
Our initial appointment is complimentary, either on Zoom, in our Alkimos home-based design studio or at Bridal by Aubrey Rose in Mount Hawthorn. We'll chat over your inspirations, ideas and vibe for the day. If we find that we're the right fit for each other, we move into the Design and Styling phase. Then the magic begins.

Alkimos Home Studio
As a design studio, you’ll have our undivided attention in an intimate and personal space.
“It really is all about you.”
For all consultations, you have exclusive use of the studio. Mothers of the bride, besties etc. are all welcome to come along and share in these special moments.
Parking is never an issue and it does allow us to be slightly flexible with appointment times.
As a Design Consultation Studio rather than a bridal shop, our overhead costs are lower. We’re delighted we can pass those savings on to you. As a result, our custom gowns are an affordable luxury.
Our Perth Stockist
We are proud to be a part of the Bridal by Aubrey Rose team as one of their local Designer Labels. Our Bridal Separates Collection is available to try on in store, we welcome any custom changes and will happily make the Separates into a dress if that's your preference. If you'd love to meet me at the shop for a Custom Creation then that can be arranged too, just say so in the 'comments' when booking.
Georgina and her stylist team are highly professional but friendly, and are an absolute dream to work with! If you are opting for the Ready to Wear outfit, be sure to book in here.
My Promise...
Is to provide you with the best quality and design for you on your wedding day. In a fun, kind and supportive way throughout your Wedding Dress Journey!
When you work with me it’s so much more than a few hours spent choosing a dress, a friendship develops. It’s a fun, exciting and uplifting journey in so many ways.
It’s your DREAM and your DRESS
As your Designer, I encourage you to dream big and with my expertise and your vision we will create your dream wedding dress! I’m here to relieve any tension between you and mum or your bridesmaids, that may arise. Everyone will have an opinion so I’m on hand to keep things running smoothly and keep the peace in a kind and professional manner.
