Having your wedding dress custom made and hoping the dressmaker can realise your vision can be a pretty stressful experience! Vanessa really helped put myself and my mums nerves at ease, and created the most beautiful two piece wedding dress including creating the pattern and sewing the lace onto tulle for the top, and hand stitching on a billion beads and crystals! Not to mention creating the most luxurious sweeping train. From the moment we sat down together and I showed her a photo of something I was hoping to achieve, I knew I was in the best hands. She went to the ends of the earth to make something beautiful and I felt like a goddess on my wedding day. I've seen some of her couture work as well and it's insanely creative and amazing. She's even submitted work to World of Wearable Arts. I couldn't recommend Vanessa highly enough, I've had friends also have garments made by her, and I would definitely engage her for any more custom clothing in the future.

I knew how good Vanessa was, I'd seen her work on another very particular bride (no offence Angie). I feel priviledge and honoured to have had my Wedding dress, my two daughters matchong outfits, my hubby and son matching waist coat and ties tailored by Vanessa - tied in perfectly. A creation from my mind came to real life and way beyond expectations, the way she got us working together to create something incredible.I gave Vanessa vintage lace I picked up from Trade Me and WOW what a beautiful creation fitting like a glove. I hope to work with you again Vanessa beautiful soul and talented like no other. Thanks for keeping the price realistic.

Having a gown custom made from start to finish should be an exciting and special time for a bride and Anita made sure it was just that. Loved every appointment with Anita and loved the result. My dress was based off another beautiful Vinka bride’s dress but there was no problem recreating a version of this for me. Anita and her team are exceptional at their craft and I truly felt like a goddess on the day. Their quality is hard to beat. Thank you again Anita xx

I absolutely recommend Vinka Designs. I feel in love with their gowns and my wedding dress was my absolute dream dress. It was perfect for me and made me feel beautiful. I did not know where to start when looking for a dress, but Anita at Vinka Designs made the whole process fun, stress free and smooth. The level of detail on the dresses they design is insanely amazing and my dress turned out absolutely stunning.

I wish to thank Vanessa for my beautiful wedding outfit, which was a 3/4 length lace dress and satin coat. Vanessa came up with the idea to sew a label inside my coat which ended up being my something blue, this meant so much to me. The whole experience was amazing, i found Vanessa to be a great listener, patient and consultative during the journey, a true professional. She made me feel comfortable and most important gave me what i wanted. I highly recommend Vanessa anyday.

I highly recommend Vanessa if you are wanting a one of a kind dress!I knew I was in the right hands as soon as I met with Vanessa to start planning my dream wedding dress.She was easily able to interpret my ideas for the dress and wasted no time getting it under way, despite the difficulties of lockdown due to Covid.I enjoyed the time at the fitting and seeing it come along, and the end result surpassed all my expectations.I can't wait to wear this beautiful bespoke dress down the aisle in September!!!

Without a doubt, my experience at Vinka Design was my absolute favourite part of wedding planning. When we visited the atelier for an initial consult, my Mum and I knew that we had to have Anita create my wedding gown. The Vinka gowns were unbelievably stunning and meticulously crafted, and Anita was so clearly passionate about what she does. Although I found it challenging to settle on a design (these dresses are exquisite) I decided on one of Anita's designs, the Delta, with bespoke details. Anita encouraged me to communicate exactly what I wanted so that she could bring my ideas to life. She took interest in every little detail, took my questions and (many) requests seriously and made me feel beautiful at every appointment and fitting. Anita and her team were so patient and went above and beyond to make sure that I got exactly what I dreamt of - and they completely knocked it out of the park! I could not have asked for a more beautiful, flattering gown that was so lovingly crafted down to the finest details. I am forever grateful to Anita and her team of incredibly talented ladies and I could not recommend them highly enough!!

It was an honour to wear one of Anita's beautiful gowns. Anita goes above and beyond and made the whole process from designing to finishing touches fun and enjoyable - nothing was a problem (including 2.5 years of wedding postponements through Covid) and I absolutely adored the end result. Thank you Anita and team for making my dream dress xx
