TESTIMONIALS
“I was so lucky to work with Lelsey for styling for my son’s wedding. She helped me find dresses and shoes for both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner.
She was helpful, supportive and enthusiastic from start to finish. She is incredibly knowledgeable! She listened carefully to my thoughts and preferences and presented me with lots of options, and then helped me zero in on the right choices for me. I felt beautiful throughout the wedding weekend and received many compliments on the dresses.
Working with Lesley was amazing!”

“I was overwhelmed with what to wear to my baby shower so I hired Lesley to help me find a cute and comfortable outfit to fit my bump.
She was super easy to work with over email and sent me a short list of options quickly as I didn’t have much time before my baby shower. I am SO happy with what she found and got lots of compliments during the party.
She made me feel great during the process and could relate to my concerns as a fellow mom. I hope to work with her again in the future for other parties and events!”
—Macy from Illinois
“I shopped in two different countries for my wedding gown but kept coming up short both in options I liked and where to actually find them. I'm a very busy physician with SUPER tough schedule to boot, so finding a dress for my wedding kept getting pushed down the priority list for me.
I hired Lesley to not only help me find the perfect wedding gown but also to keep me organized in the planning process. She created timetables, set all the appointments, shopped for me, and made it effortless for me to say yes to the dress of my dreams at Monique L'Huillier. She also styled me for my bridal shower, two rehearsal parties, and pulled together outfits for my bachelorette!
We had a blast together on top of it all, especially at our lunch dates where french fries and champagne went hand-in-hand.”
—Ana from California
“I worked with Lesley to find a dress for my son’s wedding and am so happy with the results.
I had a very difficult time with options when shopping on my own due to the limited options I saw in store and online. Seems like everything was made for other women, none for me, a 59 year old mother of 3. Lesley cut through the noise and found the perfect dress for me within hours of our first phone call.
She gave me confidence and understood exactly what I was going through mentally to prepare for this big day. I really appreciate that she stuck to my budget too. I recommend her to all of my girlfriends with children getting married!”

“Start-to-finish, Lesley and her services are a necessity for any bride.
We started working together shortly after my engagement, when I was feeling overwhelmed with what direction to go with finding a dress. You wouldn’t have known that we were separated by 3 time zones with the level of involvement Lesley had in narrowing down my style, setting up appointments for dress shopping, and even FaceTiming in when I said “Yes” to the dress!
Between alterations, shoes, hairstyles, jewelry, and even dresses for my showers and bachelorette trip, Lesley went above-and-beyond at every step.
The pinnacle of this, however, was on my wedding day. Lesley not only helped transport and steam my gown, but also made sure my bridesmaids all had the right tapes, clips, and pins. She attended to my gown throughout the night, ensuring my corset stayed tight and my train stayed bustled. When I realized that I forgot my socks for my shoe-change, Lesley literally gave me her own, to ensure I didn’t get blisters.
Overall, all we can ask for as brides is to be fully present in these most precious moments of our life. Feeling the most confident and cared for, so that I could be fully engaged in my wedding experience, was the biggest blessing I could ask for. “

“Working with Lesley for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!
In the weeks leading up to my wedding, she was helpful in finding me options for a wedding sneaker and afterparty outfit, sending me multiple links and guiding me in the right direction. She also gave me valuable advice as to how to fly with my wedding dress, how my bridesmaids should bring their dresses for the wedding, and helped calm my anxieties about people spilling on our outfits and how my husband's clothing would look.
Her calm presence and expertise allowed me to be completely in the moment, and I was able to enjoy the getting ready process instead of worrying about my dress, my mother and MIL's dresses and my bridesmaid dresses. All of our outfits were flawless, and my dress had a statement bow in the back that was perfectly tied (it had been a source of concern prior to the wedding!) She made sure my husband and groomsmen all looked amazing, and it was a huge weight off my shoulders to know that if anything went awry with any of our clothing, that we would be taken care of.
I also will give Lesley credit for how great my wedding photos look! She made adjustments in the moment to make sure my dress and veil were photographed perfectly, but also made my husband and I have such genuine smiles because she was such a fun presence to have around while taking photos.
I wholeheartedly recommend using Lesley for her day-of services, and I wish I could have used her in a larger capacity while I was wedding planning!”
—Taylor from Chicago
“Working with Lesley helped streamline and focus my wedding outfits along with my bridesmaids. I was so overwhelmed with scanning online sites over and over again looking for something unique and things that would flatter my body type. Lesley was able to come up with unique options from sources I had never heard of before. She encouraged me to listen to my gut while also providing gentle direction on keeping things "evergreen" for years to come!
My mom ended up working with her as well to find her perfect dress not just for the wedding day but the events leading up. Lesley is kind, real and knowledgeable. It felt as though I was working with a sister or friend. 10/10 would do it all again!!”
—Elizabeth from North Carolina
“Having worked in events during my career, I knew what to expect when planning my own wedding: vendors, scheduling, contracts. But when it came to the "me" stuff, I had no clue where to begin. "What kind of dress fits my frame? Where do I shop? Where do I take this thing to get altered?" I had been wearing pjs working from home the last two years so fashion wasn't on my radar.
Lesley saved the day! She put together a stunning lookbook based on our initial conversation covering: timeline, budget & my style interests. Not only did she make this daunting task feel achievable ("I can find the perfect garment!"), she made it super fun!
I had a blast shopping with her & during my fittings she made me feel confident & comfortable. I ended up being a vision in pearls for my wedding!”
—Kathleen from Los Angeles, CA
“What a challenging combination—a soon-to-be mother of the bride who is a procrastinator that hates to shop. Without Lesley, I would not have been able to share the honor with her father of walking our daughter down the aisle, as I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A DRESS.
Lesley literally emailed me daily with dress recommendations, starting with trying to understand what was appropriate for an outdoor winter wedding at 10,000 feet in the Colorado mountains. She literally reviewed hundreds of dresses with me (again, I am the pickiest person ever!), narrowing it down to what would complement my daughter’s couture gown, and what I would feel most comfortable in.
She completely took over, thank goodness, and had dresses shipped and returned effortlessly, with no involvement from me other than trying them on. The final selection was a dress that I love to this day. The dress made me feel like the very proud and glowing MOB that I wanted to be for my daughter. P.S. My daughter works with the fashion industry so there was a bit of extra pressure to make sure the dress was right—and it definitely was!”
—Constance from Los Angeles, CA
“After 43 years of waiting for the perfect partner, it finally happened!!! The excitement, the celebration- everything a girl could ask for. Then reality sets in---I have to plan a wedding—and I work long days, when will this happen?!?! I immediately started scrolling through wedding dress pictures online, and found myself just lost in designers.
Enter THE ONE Gown--Lesley was a LIFESAVER!!! She immediately took over. She knew the designers, the looks, the options…She created Lookbooks specific to my likes and saved me a ton of time that I would have otherwise spent scrolling online. After drilling down, she even took over appointment scheduling, and then we were off to try on dresses.
She helped me find THE ONE!!! AND I’m SO excited to wear a dress that’s “me” as I enter the next chapter in life. Lesley’s approach is easy. She is an expert at what she does, and she LOVES helping women feel beautiful. I felt less stressed knowing she had the wedding dress styling under control. I would choose Lesley as “THE ONE” any and every day.”

“After one of my dear friends got engaged, I wanted to think of a unique and special gift that would ensure her day is everything she’s ever dreamed it would be. I knew she would love to receive the help of a bridal stylist not because she’s not stylish—rather, because she’s incredibly busy and wasn’t sure which city she should even start shopping in!
Lesley helped her decide on her wedding day style - which was perfectly her! - and made the process SO easy and fun for her. Her services included assistance on the day of the wedding, which I’m told was truly a lifesaver for the entire bridal party.”
—Miranda from Alabama
Lesley was by far the most amazing stylist we could’ve possibly hoped for and truly surpassed every expectation we had from start to finish. She made our wedding go off without a hitch.
Lesley made my daughter (the bride) feel like a princess, confident beautiful and not with a minute of worry because she knew everything was being taken care of and it was. Lesley had the ability to foresee any possible glitch and she would seamlessly swoop in like a fairy godmother, wave her magic wand and somehow make everything run smoothly.
I could honestly say without Lesley, our wedding could have been a disaster with so many moving parts. I am ecstatic to tell the world that with Lesley’s help, we pulled off the wedding of a lifetime! I could not recommend Lesley and THE ONE Gown more!
