If the thought of finding the perfect dress for your big day fills you with dread – no time or no idea where to start – then Lynn Crean is here to help.  5 Star Weddings finds out how….<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Star Weddings: How did you get into the business of helping brides to find their perfect dress?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lynn Crean: Even as a little girl, I have loved dresses. When I was 5, my father made me a \u2018clothes-line\u2019 with a string that stretched across my bed. I had these tiny hangers, and I used to hang all my doll dresses on them and push them up and down the line. Suffice to say, it was in my heart even then!
I practised law in the city for a time during which I was the go-to girl for my friends when they were getting married. Eventually, sick of the hours and the \u2018no life\u2019 of the city, I was propelled to throw caution to the wind, follow my childhood passion, and get involved in dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For almost three years, I took some really low-paying positions in Boutiques around London just so I could get a feel for the industry, the styles of dresses, and basically train myself. I found that helping girls find the perfect dress was not unlike dealing with judges and counsel in a hearing \u2013 a lot of listening, looking for evidence, and hearing both sides, while at the same time keeping the focus on what my client wanted. It was like the law but beautiful, fun, free, and the clients ended up looking much more fabulous in the long run!
During this time, I saw that many brides who were really stuck for time due to busy jobs in the city did not know what suited them, where to find suitable dresses, or just spent absolutely ages looking for the elusive \u2018One\u2019. Working on busy Saturdays in Boutiques where stressed-out brides would arrive with bridesmaids in tow, I used to think to myself, “This experience of finding your dream dress does not have to be this hard?” It can be simply beautiful and efficient all at the same time. I watched many brides at the complete mercy of sales assistants who were often neither interested nor capable of styling them in the best possible way. Often, brides were very self-conscious about different areas of their bodies, or were pregnant, or had just given birth. Somehow, these needs would be ignored or fade away, and it was all about the next sale. It made me quite sad. However, that was where the inspiration came for LONDON WEDDING DRESS<\/a> FINDER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I truly wanted to create and offer a smashing service that came from the heart, finding the most suitable, beautiful dresses quickly and smartly, with no nonsense. A service that would place the needs of the modern London bride first, a service that would let her get her dress sorted, be heard, and receive an excellent service based on efficiency, simplicity, and the most wonderful sources that London has to offer. I also met many overseas brides who seemed to be doing a London \u2018boutique crawl\u2019. I knew that my service would help them too to find their dresses quickly and easily in the right places, and so Lynn Crean \u2013 London Wedding Dress<\/a> Finder was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
