Designer Wedding Dresses North East
Heather Harker, Owner & Designer
My own journey into Bridal was always meant to be.
As a little girl I watched the talented ladies in my life create the most beautiful things. My Grandma was a Tailor and made the most beautiful wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. My Mother was an upholsterer and made covering a sofa look so easy, she also made my clothes and I always had fabulous dresses that were different to everyone else. My Nanna was a dressmaker too, but I remember her most for her beautiful knitting and crocheting.
These three wonderful Ladies taught me their craft at such a young age that I can’t remember learning and I went from designing clothes for my Sindy dolls at age 6 or 7 to making my own clothes as a teenager.
My decision to go into Bridal was made when I was 15. My Aunty took me to see Diana’s wedding dress on display after the Royal Wedding. I will never forget how emotional I became when I saw how exquisite the work was on that dress, at that very moment I knew I would design wedding dresses.
The family connection continues as Alice Elizabeth Bridal is named after my Daughter, who's now studying Fashion and Tailoring at University.
Our team are here to help you look & feel your best!
