Testimonials

I am so grateful for Holly! She crafted the most incredible custom gown/ensemble for my big day and she alleviated so much of the stress that typically comes with picking a dress! She was also so flexible and easy to communicate with, couldn’t recommend Holly more highly.

Holly was truly amazing to work with. Not having a creative bone in my body it was hard at times to know how the dress would be, but Holly helped to answer my questions and ease any worries or ideas that I had.
I always wanted my Cinderella moment and it's because of Holly I have that forever; glass slippers and all.
Some of the best advice Holly gave me in my last fitting was to enjoy it and not worry; that I only had one day in it so on the day it's exactly what I did. I didn't worry about people standing on it, I ran through grass, bushes, jumped into my husbands arms and floated all day, enjoying and embracing every single moment.

Finding Holly really was a dream come true. I initially struggled with finding a dress and didn't even do the usual shopping trip to try a few on. I definitely knew what I didn't want, I just couldn't find the right designer to help me decide what I did want. Holly help me do that! Her experience and knowledge is second to none, and she made 100% sure that I was happy with my dress. I felt amazing in my dress, it was super flattering and ticked all the boxes.

Holly Butler brings dreams to life. Her talent and passion for creating couture gowns truly makes her one of Australia’s leading bridal designers. After spending hours searching the globe for that dream dress, I became frustrated. I didn’t like the idea of wearing something that I had seen on someone else or off the rack. I had a design concept in mind and knew what I wanted. I was recommended to Holly and from the moment I met her I felt a sense of comfort and excitement and knew she was the one that would be perfect to bring my concept to life. Holly gives an optimal custom bridal experience from sketch to gown pick up making sure every single detail is perfect and only uses the most premium fabrications. She makes you feel super comfortable and the whole experience I had with her was one of my favourite parts about the whole lead up to the big day. Holly made me feel like a Disney princess and my gown was more perfect than I imagined. If you want your dream dress get Holly to make it, she’s beyond incredible!

I can confidently say that my wedding day would not have been half as magical if I hadn't found Holly Butler. Holly is truly an artist with a unique eye for design that is hard to come by when there are so many dress makers to chose from.
She is the most warm, welcoming person- taking all your ideas and inspiration on board to make something you are completely obsessed with. The craftsmanship is immaculate, and I've never had a dress feel so part of me. In every life time I would chose Holly again and again!

Getting to design your own dress is such a fun experience, made all the more enjoyable by Holly. She is such a lovely, warm person, you feel comfortable voicing your opinion and she has the talent to then execute what you envisioned. Holly gave me helpful tips in terms of what would work best design wise, which I appreciated, and was so flexible with COVID . On the day - I felt beautiful, the dress fit me so well and I received so many compliments and also questions as to the origins of the dress! If I did it over I would still choose Holly to make my dress.

Every moment with HB was exciting! From the conception of the design to the fittings leading up to the big day. Holly was always attentive and insightful, which helped immensely during the initial design phase. If you're like me and require quite a lot of altering on off the rack dresses why not consider a custom designed gown which is not only affordable but made from the best fabrics that Holly herself picks out! TL;DR: Highly recommended - High quality and affordable couture gown + excellent customer interactions.

Holly created a wedding dress for me that exceeded all of my wildest dreams! I tried on more than 30 dresses instore and none of them came even close to being the perfect dress. As soon as I met Holly and got to know her bubbly, passtionate personality I knew she was the perfect dressmaker to create my gown. I walked out of my initial consultation (and every consultation thereafter!) with the biggest smile on my face. I loved the idea of having detachable puffy sleeves, as well as shoestring straps so I could dance the night away. Holly, being the talent that she is, gave me both options in the one dress! She has incredible vision. My gown fit like a glove and I felt so confident and beautiful in it, which is exactly how I wanted to feel on my big day. Thank you so much Holly for creating my show-stopping gown and for being the lovely, kind person that you are!
