Well hello again my lovelies and I hope that you’re having an absolutely fantastic day today. Now, as you might expect from the very name of this beautiful blog, everyone at Love My Dress is, quite simply, head over heels with wedding gowns.
So, when we’ve got the opportunity to share gorgeous new collections with you, we really couldn’t be happier. Today, it’s such a joy to say hello to Sienna Von Hildemar and her collection of gowns that are just perfect for the modern romantic bride. Like so many brilliant wedding designers, Sienna Von Hildemar was drawn to wedding dress design, excited by the creative opportunities that it gives.
“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been making beaded designs of various sorts,” says Sienna. “I studied clothing production and worked in design and production for a women’s fashion brand in Australia. When I moved to London 10 years ago, I started working for a men’s tailoring company and have worked with some of the UK’s top luxury brands.”

“Years ago, when a friend of mine got married, I went shopping with her and realised I was filling up with creative ideas for wedding dresses. Soon after, when another friend got married, I made her dress for her and absolutely lovely it.”
“I now combine my lifelong love of beadwork and intricate creations with the most beautiful silks and laces to create modern bridalwear with delicate and unique details.”
Sienna has developed her own signature style over the years – soft and drapey silhouettes with intricate, hand-embellished details are the hallmark of her work. These are silhouettes that wouldn’t be out of place in your everyday wardrobe but the beautiful silks, decorated with the most exquisite beadwork and lace detailing, make a Sienna Von Hildemar wedding dress something very special indeed.
The new 2018 collection is full of clean lines and simple, flattering shapes but what makes it so so special is that up until now, Sienna has only created bespoke gowns for clients so this is her first bridalwear collection and it’s simply perfect.
Inspired by elegance in comfort, Sienna has designed gowns that brides will love wearing:
“I believe that a bride should feel completely comfortable and herself on her wedding day. So often, a bride will dress out of her comfort zone and is then so focused on this and dealing with the dress itself, that it’s find it hard to relax and you then miss out on all those special moments.”
I love the fact that Sienna has created a collection that’s effortlessly flattering without being overly structured or in any way restricting. The linings of the dresses are made in the same quality silk as that on the outside of the gown so they not only look beautiful; they feel beautiful against your skin. It’s a secret luxury that only you can enjoy!
All Sienna Von Hildemar bridal gowns are made in London by experts and because each gown is made individually, there’s a brilliant amount of control and flexibility. The 2018 collection is available through appointments at Sienna’s studio in West London and you’ll try on a base size gown, which is then made to your own measurements.
Prices for the 2018 collection from Sienna Von Hildemar start at £1100 for a gown or two-piece outfit and if you’d like a more individual gown, you can indulge with the made-to-measure ‘Create’ service and vary the beadwork and lace detailing to your own specifications (prices on request).
If you’d like to find out more, do take a look at Sienna’s website or why not visit her at Chosen Wedding Fair in Islington on Sunday 8th October?
Love,
