"When I began looking at different wedding dresses online, Indie Bride was one of the first places I came across and I had my heart set on getting my dress from there straight away. The dresses are all absolutely stunning with a beautiful boho, vintage feel and I knew they were all handmade and ethically produced. When I went to try on some of the dresses I was blown away by the studio and I had an amazing time, I honestly could have happily worn at least three of the dresses. Miina was very helpful and make the whole process seamless. I would 100% recommend getting a dress from Indie Bride."

"Indie Bride is a gorgeous bridal shop with a collection of unique and interesting dresses, tops and skirts. The shop itself is beautiful; it has a romantic, cosy feel, so that trying on dresses is a really lovely experience. You are always the only customer and Miina’s manner is relaxed and calm. It doesn’t feel at all “sales-y”, pressurised or rushed which some other wedding dress boutiques can do! I loved my choices of top and skirt but wanted a few tweaks which Miina can do because she makes all the dresses herself. On the day I felt brilliant and loved my outfit so much. I got so many compliments and people said they’d never seen a wedding dress that so perfectly suited the bride. I just wish I could wear it again! Thank you so much Miina xxx"

"What a totally wonderful experience it is to buy a wedding dress at Indiebride! I could not be happier with everything. From day 1 Miina makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable and the studio is such a calm and beautiful environment in the roof of a church. The emphasis was always on finding something that felt like 'you' and expresses who you are. I certainly found that in my Wylie dress - it is such a beautiful dress. The lace, the textures, the fit, it all feels so in-tune with my 'look' and my personality, and Miina totally understood that. All the materials are beautiful and for me it was really important that the dress I wore on my wedding day was as sustainable as possible.
I felt really comfortable and cared for in the fittings and Miina was so attentive to make sure I was really happy with the fit, the adjustments, and the little additions we made to trims and lengths to be able to show off other features of my wedding outfit, like my crazy shoes. She was really open-minded and I felt like the experience was collaborative and creative.
I could not recommend Miina and Indiebride more and I know that she will make many brides extremely happy in the months and years to come.
Thank you so much, Miina!"

"I came across Miina's unique dresses whilst looking for designers that rated highly on sustainability. It was important to me to have a timeless dress that wouldn't harm the planet, and a dress I could love not just on my wedding day but for years to come. Once I found Indiebride, I didn't have to look anywhere else! I felt I had found a kindred spirit in Miina right away. Her dresses are modern classics, with a streak of alternative boho.
Whilst I was initially keen to try on sample dresses, I fell in love with the mulberry silk Poppy dress. When I put it on and gave it a twirl, it was instantly the only one for me! With it's A line shape and long flowing skirt, it is as comfortable as it is effortlessly elegant.
Miina took the time to make sure every little detail was perfect, she takes incredible care over her work and her brides! Picking my dress up at her beautiful London studio was one of the happiest days in the run up to the wedding.
On the day itself, I danced all night! Thank you Miina for making me feel so beautiful ❤️"

"I could NOT be happier that I went with one of Miina's stunning dresses. I visited a few bridal boutiques and none of them matched the feeling of cosy magic that everyone felt in Miina's studio. The dress I went with felt light and a total pleasure to wear, which also showed in the utterly otherworldly way it moved with my body. In fact, the fabrics of all of the dresses I tried were just so obviously of superior quality and elevated each cut. The pictures don't even do them justice. Miina herself was so helpful and patient (I'm very indecisive)."

"I stumbled across Indiebride when I was looking for alternative wedding dresses after failing to find what I was looking for in local bride stores. To say I was impressed by the beautiful dresses on site was an understatement, and I immediately reached out to secure an appointment.
Miina was incredibly welcoming when I arrived at her lovely shop and put me at ease. I tried on several stunning dresses and quickly found My Dress! This was then made to the best size according to my measurements, ready for alterations as required, a service that Miina also provides.
I cannot thank Miina enough for not only the dress of my absolute wildest dreams, but also for making the whole experience for me - a socially awkward individual who hates shopping - a wonderful one! THANKYOU!❤️"

"As soon as I saw Miina's designs online, I knew that I wanted to make an appointment to find my dream wedding dress. Her designs are just flawless - from the most flattering silhouettes, the gorgeous fabrics and the time and attention Miina gave me. IndieBride London is definitely where I would recommend to any upcoming bride. Her showroom and studio is just gorgeous and she has the most incredible way of making you feel so so special. Thanks Miina for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day :-) Katy"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Miina, the talented designer and owner of Indie Bride, to custom make my dream wedding dress. From start to finish, my experience with Miina was nothing short of incredible. Not only did I find the perfect dress, but I also felt great knowing that all the dresses at Indie Bride are made with sustainability in mind.
One of the standout qualities of Indie Bride is their commitment to sustainable practices. In an industry where waste and environmental impact are often overlooked, it was refreshing to see a bridal shop prioritising eco-friendly choices. Miina's dedication to sustainability shines through in every aspect of her business. From using ethically sourced materials to employing eco-conscious production techniques, she has created a brand that aligns with the values of the modern bride.
Working closely with Miina was an absolute delight. She listened attentively to my ideas, preferences, and concerns, and guided me through the entire process with expertise and creativity. Her passion for her craft was evident as she sketched out designs, sourced fabrics, and meticulously crafted my dress. Miina's attention to detail ensured that my dress not only fit flawlessly but also captured my vision perfectly.
What sets Indie Bride apart is its ability to create truly unique and personalised dresses. While many bridal shops offer a limited selection of off-the-rack gowns, Indie Bride specialises in custom designs. Miina's talent as a designer allows her to transform your dream dress into a reality, tailored to your specific desires. The entire experience felt personal and intimate, making me feel like a valued individual rather than just another customer.
Not only did I appreciate the customisation options, but I also admired the quality of craftsmanship in my dress. The attention to detail and the skilful construction were evident in every stitch. It was clear that Miina takes great pride in her work, and it translated into the final product. The dress was not only beautiful but also comfortable to wear, allowing me to move freely and enjoy every moment of my special day.
Overall, I cannot recommend Indie Bride enough. Miina goes above and beyond to create sustainable dream wedding dresses that exceed expectations. From the moment you step foot into her shop, you are greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for creating the perfect dress. If you're a bride-to-be looking for a unique, sustainable, and personalised wedding gown, look no further than Indie Bride. Miina's talent and dedication will make your bridal journey an unforgettable one."

"Indie Bride is incredible! My partner and I decided to get married fairly quickly after getting engaged, meaning we didn't have much longer than 4 months to organise things. I was also quite set on ensuring my wedding dress would be made sustainably, so was fairly narrowed down to where I could buy my dress from.
I found Indie Bride during my search - Miina kindly said she would be able to create my dress in time for the wedding. The studio is a cute, boho space near Brixton, in the attic space of what looks like a church. When visiting, I felt no pressure to make a decision and Miina was very patient while I picked out some styles I liked - being notoriously bad at making decisions, this was a lengthy process. I ended up choosing the second dress I tried on (Tanita), and Miina swiftly got to work. Over the next few months, she was quick to respond, kept me up to date with progress, and let me come in to try on the dress a couple of times to see how it fit with my other accessories.
The finished dress was stunning, made of beautiful soft silk with an elegant train. I went with a standard size of 10 (which is what I would usually wear in regular clothes) and it fit like a glove. Miina considered the small details such as hooks which I could attach to my finger or a concealed button throughout the day. While wearing the dress I felt totally comfortable (including through dinner), and didn't stop dancing for a moment throughout the evening. Most of the comments I received were on how the dress looked exactly like "me", and that's exactly how it felt - with an extra level of magic.
It was a pleasure to work with you Miina, and I would recommend anyone looking for a more eco-conscious, unique wedding dress to try Indie Bride!

"I knew I wanted a simple, elegant dress which would be comfortable for the whole wedding and I found it in five minutes. Miina was so helpful throughout the whole process and I don't think it could have made the process of finding a dress easier. All the designs are stunning and the quality of my dress is excellent. The craftsmanship is gorgeous and I felt beautiful in the dress."

"Thank you Miina and Indie Bride London! I LOVED my beautiful, elegant, stylish and, above all, comfortable dress! Thank you :-) The whole experience of buying the dress from booking the first appointment, to going for fittings and getting the final dress was seamless. Miina was professional and helpful and I absolutely love that you can take photos of dresses when trying them on - I think it is so important to be able to make the right decision. Indie Bride London was the second salon I went to and I knew I loved the place as soon as we went in - comfortable, private, relaxed atmosphere - exactly what a nervous bride-to-be needs. I tried on 6 dresses and loved every single one of them (that never happens!). In the end I went for the Gaia dress and I was so happy with my choice. I would highly, highly recommend Indie Bride London."

"I came across Indie Bride after a thorough Instagram search. I had visited three shops in Shropshire, tried on far too many dresses before making the decision to book in for an appointment. I travelled three hours to London and as soon as I entered Miina’s studio I knew I was going to find my dress. The studio is tucked away in the attic of a beautiful church next door to the most incredible vegan coffee shop (still dreaming of their Cinnamon buns). The studio looked exactly like my dream house - fairy lights, incense, boho! I had an idea of what I liked but really wanted a dress unlike anybody else’s. I fell in love with the Jolene dress. A dress with bell sleeves & a train made from the softest bamboo fabric. Miina is such a talented artist and put in so much thought & time to make sure my dress was perfect. The bra strap poppers, poppers to hold sleeves and a bustle on the hips were a god send on my rainy day! My dress is truly one of a kind and so comfortable!! I received so many compliments. Miina also kindly collaborated with a Shropshire local business to supply the lace for my matching veil. I felt like Stevie Nicks and spent my day singing Gold Dust Woman in my head. Thank you so so much for making my dreams come true! You are incredible xx"
