Shika combines an evening dress concept with contemporary bridal fashion

Shikas’ designs are inspired by soft flowing styles, evening dress fashion and her other love of dance. Her dresses are fitting and flattering for any woman allowing freedom of movement, whilst defining femininity and stating confidence. She understands that each dress is a work of art and a very individual pierce. She makes innovative use of silks, lace and soft fabrics to complete and finish each gown, such as creating flowers made of the dress fabric, ruffling and matching head pieces.

At La’ Shika Bridal I offer you a professional and personal service. My studio is in the Old Bank Arcade, upstairs next to Starbucks. I would love to meet with you for a coffee and chat about design or making your dream dress.
