My expereince with Corina was beyond phenomenal. Her expertise, professionalism, and honesty kept me calm and at ease throughout the whole process. I am a larger woman which of course meant I had concerns of what I could look like on the day. Corina talked through every one of my concerns and changed things here and there to make it work for my shape and my likes/dislikes. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. I felt amazing on my wedding day and I entirely put it down to the fabulous work Corina did with my dress.

What an AMAZING experience!!! from start to finish….. she made my dress in 2 weeks, beautiful lady, so talented and knew what would suit me!!! I recommend to all well worth the $$

Where do I start! I first meet Corina at one of the Bridal Shows in Auckland.  At the time I was struggling to find something that I loved & after trying many dresses and being slightly indecisive it didn’t help. After seeing how stunningly beautiful and unique her gowns were I knew I had to look what she could create.  I was also concerned about the price too, knowing she only used silk and high quality materials and made them herself but was pleasantly surprised that she could work around my budget. After meeting Corina for my consultation, I knew having a custom made dress would be the best option and also there wouldn’t be anyone better to make it.  She was extremely effective, helpful, firm, patient, confident and reassuring that I felt comfortable and fully trusted her judgement even when I couldn’t fully envisioned it for myself.  She still worked with my ideas and put together something that just worked and was absolutely perfect and stunning that I loved!  As well as the other helpful hints from choosing appropriate colour of flowers, to the mens suits as well as having the headpiece and accessories available as well just made it even easier for me which was great!  I can’t thank and recommend Corina enough! She is professional, extremely talented and accommodating! Thank you Corina for everything! Everyone LOVED your dress including ME! xoxo

I accidently stumbled across Corina’s shop when I was looking at wedding dresses. I hadn’t even thought that getting my dress made would be an option as I thought it would be far too expensive. One thing I noticed when trying on dresses in dress shops was how heavy they were and how the fabric was not that nice to look at up close (and these were not cheap dresses either).
Corina was professional and honest. I didn’t know quite what I wanted but I knew what I didn’t want. Corina designed my dress for me in a meeting, with my input. I really loved my dress, and sooo many people commented on how beautifully made it was. Also as I didn’t live in the area, I sent my measurements closer to the date (as I was losing weight of course!) and I went over for a calico fit, and then only one more for the final fitting a week before the wedding, no mucking about which I loved.
The best thing, was how light the dress was! I was comfortable all day. Corina also had tips for the day/tanning/jewellery etc, she was a wealth of knowledge.

Corina was fantastic. 
She helped me make descisions about my dress and my day and I never felt pressured or uneasy.  Form helping with shoes, hair peices, posture, even helping me to coordinate with my Mum and bridesmaids - she made me feel confident in all my decisions… and from how I felt on the day and the feed back I received, they were good decision!
The dress was different to anything I had dreamed of, absolutly beautiful (and dare I say it - fantastically practical!) and I felt incredible wearing it on my wedding day.  My husband was so happy with how the dress looked and how comfortable I was in it.  The detail, proportion everything about the dress was perfect.
I couldn’t recommend Corina highly enough to any bride to be.

I felt like a goddess on my wedding day. My dress was the most beautiful thing I’d ever worn and will probably ever wear! Fitting considering the significance of the day itself! We deserve it… Corina Snow is a genius and you can count on her to have you dressed so beautiful that EVERYONE will remember.

Corina was absolutely amazing to work with. I saw a dress of hers in a magazine and knew that I had found my dress.  Corina tailored the design to suit my figure and I definitely felt that I had my dream dress and that it was worth every cent.
Corina is also incredibly down to earth and so easy to work with.  I cannot recommend her services and gorgeous dresses more!  It was definitely worth the travel from Auckland for each fitting.

Having my dress made by Corina was truly such a pleasure. The whole process was incredibly easy and comforting and I could not have been happier with my beautiful gown. We only needed to make a few trips which made it easier being from out of town, and I had such confidence throughout the entire process. Corina was so warm and made the best choices for me and my body (with tucks, trims and adjustments made to enhance all the right parts). My dress felt so special and I felt so special wearing it on the day. I was comfortable all day, but still felt perfectly elegant. I would highly highly recommend working with Corina on your gown. Her lovely space, skill, confidence and kindness made the experience perfect.

Corina Snow is amazing! I turned up and told her the basics of what I liked and on the spot she drew up my dream dress. From there just a few more meetings and it was done. I got to pick out what lace I liked and materials so that I felt included in the process. I changed my mind about some of the lace at one point and it was not a problem at all - I liked how flexible it was - Corina listened to what I wanted and gave great advise as to what would suit me. She had some great tips about bridesmaids colours, flowers, posture etc also which all added to the experience of getting a dress made. I also ended up getting my jewellery from Corina - I had looked at so many places for this and couldn’t find anything, but the earrings and bracelet I got from her were just perfect.. I had so many comments about how unique and pretty my dress was.. Great experience and perfect dress! Thanks Corina!

After driving past Corina’s workshop on a numerous amount of times while visiting my mum in Papamoa, I just had a feeling that if I was ever to marry my partner, she would be my dressmaker - and after a glowing report from a close friend who used her the decision was easy to make.
I put Corina through the wringer so to speak, after following a very positive consultation where I took examples of the dresses that I thought would suit me Corina steered me towards the one that would work the best for my body (I think as a woman you already know what style is going to suit, but just need that professional to confirm it) - but due to a slight change in our life we had to put the wedding on hold while we moved overseas, it was heart-breaking not knowing when I was ever going to be able to wear ‘my dress’ but as it turned out, 15 months later I was able to phone Corina and ask her the ‘impossible’  - can you please create the dress and by the way the wedding is in three weeks - and this is all around the same time as Christmas 2012 - of course being the absolute professional that she is she agreed and I never once had a second thought that the dress would not be ready or even the quality compromised due to such short notice, it made the planning of our ‘quickie wedding’ a lot easier leaving the crucial part of the dress in her hands - and to put the icing on the cake I also lived two hours away on the coromandel and had both of our young children with me in tow while my partner was still overseas, so things were never going to be easy - but it was and after emailing measurements and having one calico fitting my exquisite and perfect dress was created, I fell in love with it straight away.
I also purchased my shoes and headpiece from Corina, so it really was a one stop shop for me, which was so unexpected.
I really cannot express how much faith and trust in Corina I had - nothing was a problem for her and everything was so wonderfully and beautifully made.
Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on our special day.

Corina @ Corina Snow Bridal was absolutely wonderful to deal with. She took the stress out of designing a wedding dress and made the whole process seem so simple and straight forward - no hassles whatsoever and a very quick turnaround from start to finish.
Corina made a fantastic job on my wedding dress and it fitted perfectly - would definitely recommend Corina to anyone!!!!!! Thanks Corina

Who knew along the journey of wedding planning you would meet so many amazing people…..

Corina is one of them and sits at the top of the list.

Having stumbled upon “the dress”, I searched the net for a dressmaker who be able to achieve the changes I wanted. I loved Corina’s style as it seemed similar to what I wanted to achieve.

From the moment I spoke to Corina, my mind was put at ease that my dress would be everything I dreamed of. I flew with my mother from the other end of the country to Corina’s studio where we met, and less than 24 hours later I was stepping into my dress.

Corina’s “can do” attitude made this process so stressfree and also seen my mother walk out with a mother of the bride outfit less than 24hrs after deciding to have Corina whip something up for her.

I can not recommend Corina enough, she is one of the most wonderful people I have met along this journey, she’s very professional in every aspect of her work, she really is worth her weight in gold.

Couldn’t be happier with my dress, mums over the moon with her’s and you have left us both with truly wonderful memories. Thank you so much Corina XXX

In a sea of white strapless gowns, I longed for something different.  Something unique, something that was meant for just me, something to make my future husband’s head turn. 

And then there was Corina Snow. 

I saw the dress on the runway at the Ellerslie Racecourse Bride and Groom Show.  It made me look and took my breath away.  It was perfect, but….it was not white.  I very quickly worked through this issue as it became very clear to me that not only just this dress but all of Corina’s dresses really have the wow factor that you simply can’t find anywhere else.  The colour no longer remained an issue but became the “something different” I was looking for.

Corina ‘s talent, professionalism and “can do” attitude are the winning combination in a terribly overwhelming inudstry.

Corina made me the most beautiful gown I could ever have imagined.  I took my husband’s breath away.  I wowed my friends and family.  I felt like a million dollars. 

Corina also made my daughters dress, which she very cleverly suggested we make using the same mink coloured silk that my dress was made of. Just how angelic my little 2 year old looked will forever be etched in my memory. 

I will, and have been recommending Corina to anyone getting married.  She simply is outstanding.  The limits to her talent are endless and she is just lovely to deal with.

Thank you to Corina and Nicky for everything xx

Corina made me the most beautiful dress for my wedding day! She was efficient, meticulous and professional in all aspects of my time spent with her from initial fittings through to the finish product! I couldn’t be happier with my beautiful gown!

I went to Corina after having had her recommended to me and after the first consultation, there certainly wasn’t any need to go elsewhere. Not only did her expertise shine through right from the beginning, but she was flexible about time frames and made my bridesmaid’s dress in a day after she flew in from the UK !

Her work is the epitome of style, elegance, professionalism and uniqueness. I wanted something simple, classic and timeless and I felt a million dollars as my husband saw me for the first time. It reflected my own style and enhanced in all the right places ! I was overwhelmed by the compliments I received and everyone wanted to know who had made it.

If you want a designer who knows what she is doing, Corina is absolutely the perfect choice. From start to finish she will blow you away with her expertise and have you leave with the wedding gown of your dreams. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Thank you Corina !!

Corina Snow was highly recommended to me by family and friends - we named her the Jane Yeh of the BOP!

Corina was absolutely amazing to work with,  she was able to interpret our ideas and turn our girls dresses into stunning pieces that were commented on all day.

I had Corina make my “secret” part of my wedding outfit which was a tailored backless waistcoat which exceed my expectations.  Again Corina was able to take my ideas and design/produce something that I will always treasure.

I would personally recommend Corina to anyone that is wanting their wedding outfits to be something to remember and cherish forever!

Corina was so lovely to work with. She made the whole process very easy and made me feel completely at ease with all aspects involved in getting a dress made. She listened to what I wanted and with her valuable knowledge was able to suggest what would work and what wouldn’t in terms of design and body type.

I would reccomend Corina to anyone who is wanting to get a beautiful, timeless wedding dress made to perfection. I am very much looking forward to wearing my dress on the big day!

Corina is a fabulous designer and dressmaker and a true professional.  From my first meeting with Corina I was immediately impressed with her knowledge, skill and talent.  She listened to my wants and helped find a dress that not only reflected all of these, but made the most of my figure and its assets!  I was made to feel special every time I made a visit to her studio.  On my wedding day I felt incredible in my amazing dress and had endless positive compliments on its style, and my accompanying jewellery and birdcage.  What a hit!  I cannot recommend Corina enough!

Corina is a very talented lady! My dress was just beautiful! I had the most amazing comments all day about it.
Corina has great vision and really knows what will suit your body shape best.
She was very flexible with appointment times and changes. And, she had to take the dress is a wee bit the week before the wedding, which was no drama at all!
Her selection of jewellery, shoes and all accessories is amazing.
Corina Snow is a One-Stop-Shop!

Corina - the dress was such a HIT! I saw Corina months ago for a very special dress for my son’s wedding. I was also the celebrant for the occasion. The minute I walked in Corina assessed my roles on the day, my shape, and my personality, and sketched up a dress that I just adored. She was incredibly helpful in helping me choose the colour and then I was just blown away with her meticulous care in getting the fit absolutely PERFECT. I had so many flattering comments from guests (old and young!) which was awesome. Thank you so much Corina, I would definitely refer to you - for your professionalism and creative flair.

I would recommend Corina to anyone without hesitation.  My Husband had always said that he didn’t like wedding dresses so my mission was to find a dress that made his jaw drop while at the same time was classical and also the dress of my dreams. 

Corina seems to be able to read your mind - it’s so hard to describe exactly what you are after but within a short time she is drawing and sketching exactly what you have been envisaging… even if you didn’t know it!  She took all of the stress away and the fittings were so easy, she really does think of everything and pieces the whole day together for you.

She is amazing at what she does and knows precisely what will work best to compliment you in everyway possible on your big day.  My dress was the most amazing vintage gown in Champagne silk with coffee coloured beading and the detailing is just incredible.  I received so many compliments on the day about my dress and months later I am still receiving comments from friends and family who also absolutely loved it.

Thanks Corina I wore the dress of my dreams on my special day and will cherish it always.

Corina made my trip down to her boutique very easy & hassle free. She went out of her way to return me to the airport & was very relaxed & accommodating with my decisions to change fabrics & the dress was completed well ahead of my time frame required.

The dress is absolutely beautiful and made to perfection.

I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a stress free wedding with her happily accommodating your needs.

Thank you Corina for your flexibility & suggestions to adapt to my changes along the way

My experience with Corina was impeccable from start to finish. I had been to numerous shops looking for ‘the’ dress, only to be thoroughly disappointed and disheartened at what I found (or didn’t find!).

At Corina Snow Bridal I found 5 dresses that I liked which was very impressive! Once i had decided on which one i wanted (with some helpful guidance from Corina as to what would suit my body shape etc best,) it only took 2 fittings from start to finish which was perfect seeing as I live in Auckland.

Corina gave me lots of tips and tricks along the way and was extremely helpful in every way.

I highly recommend Corina Snow Bridal to any bride to be!

I couldn’t find anything I liked that was pre-made and so I decided to ask around. My matron of honour had her wedding gown made by Corina and highly recommended her to me. I was really indecisive and didn’t really know what I wanted but Corina helped me solve that too. In the end Corina made me the perfect dress, I got so many wonderful comments on it and I will gladly recommend her to any of my friends who have a wedding coming up.

Corina has met and exceeded all my expectations regarding my wedding suit and my wife’s wedding dress left me speechless. Corina meet with us after being recommended by my sister-inlaw.

She was instantly on the same page as us. It was like Corina was reading our minds. I chose to get married in a suit but was afraid that I would appear masculine and for lack of a better word “butch”. Corina set my mind at ease and described how she saw my suit. Along with a few images and suggestions she created a beautiful oatmeal coloured suit with a sexy halter top waistcoat.

My wife stole the show with her deep wine red two piece exquisitely crafted dress; however I turned a few heads as well.
We live in Australia and with only two visits and multiple emails she managed to capture exactly what we had envisioned.
Corina is easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of; she uses her vast experience to help you achieve and exceed your wildest dreams. She also made our bridesmaid dresses, my sister in-law was 7 months pregnant when we got married and Corina was flexible enough to make her dress at the last minute as bubby was growing so fast. She managed to make the dress beautifully with only one sitting.

Corina is excellent value for money as she goes above and beyond on a regular basis because she loves what she does.

Corina did an amazing job on my wedding dress, I absolutely loved it. I had tried on loads of dresses and couldn’t find anything that I really liked, so came to Corina. She was full of ideas and knew exactly what would suit me. The finished product was just what I wanted and looked amazing, I received so many compliments about my dress. Would definitely recommend her!

I had a hard time trying to find a wedding dress I liked, I hunted high and low in Tauranga and Auckland, before a friend recommended Corina. It was so nice to just wander in and have her sort everything out for me without any hassle or stress and I felt like I was in very trusty and capable hand. And I loved the dress! I would highly recommend paying Corina a visit and getting the dress of your dreams!

Fantastic.  Corina did everything she could to help.  I had a tricky section of tartan printed onto satin, and she helped me find someone who could do it, when I had 5 weeks left!

The making of the dress was easy and stress-free, the fittings fast, and the initial consultations put me at ease - Corina listened to my requests, told me what she thought would work, and did what I asked for.  Perfect!

Corina was a dream to work with. It was a huge relief to find Corina.

I had been looking for my perfect dress for over a year and it was getting a little frustrating. When I meet corina she solved everything. She made my “amazing dress” that had the “wow factor”

Every guest at our wedding kept coming up to me to tell me how beautiful my dress was. I am still getting comments on my dress even now after the wedding.
She was so great to work with. Very professional and caring, friendly, and can pretty much solve any problem you have. Corina gave me some great advice for my big day and it payed off.

I would strongly recommend Corina to anyone and everyone. She is amazing and I am so grateful i found her. Let Corina design and taylor make your dress. You will not be disappointed!!!

Thank you so much Corina..

Corina did an amazing job of my dress and the two bridesmaids dresses. She listened carefully to all my ideas and created my dress exactly as I wanted it. I would recommend Corina Snow to any bride!

My dress in was amazing! Corina did such a great job it fitted me like a glove an everybody said how beautiful it was so a big credit to Corina who was also great to deal with. Highly recommend Corina Snow for anyone after an amazing wedding dress.

My wedding dress experience was amazing and easy thanks to Corina. Her advice was truly helpful from the dress to the groom to the flowers - she has a great understanding of what really works and alternatives which still fit in with initial plans. The dress was tailored to suit my body and Corina was so helpful in with changes and alterations closer to the date. Have had many compliments on the dress and it is was just what I wanted.

Corina is simply amazing, her passion and vision in design allows her to make absolutely exquisite pieces. She designed my dress and the bridesmaids, and the comments plus raving reviews for the beautiful designs were plentiful. The materials were amazing and the design was incredibly flattering. I would and do recommend Corina to anyone and everyone. She is a beautiful person and an amazing designer who works to you, your schedule, and your requests. LOVE her and her team.

When I met Corina Snow, her sweet smiling face made me excited to talk to her. With a friendly smile she explained to me that she has been making wedding dresses for 18 years! With such a wealth of experience it’s no wonder she produces such unique gowns.

Corina works out of her Bay of Plenty studio and loves vintage style wedding gowns, always designing with a hint of vintage flair.  Her designs exude the old world charm that Corina loves from the 1920’s to 1950’s giving her gowns grace and sophistication.
