We have all fallen deeply in love with Johanna Johansson’s 1930’s inspired wedding dresses and accessories, altogether glamorous and oozing timeless appeal. Johanna works with the best fabrics ~ heavy silk satin, French cotton lace and silk georgette, all her accessories are handmade in Paris and the silks are dyed exclusively for them.
