Despite being relatively new players in the arena of designers of wedding bridal gowns, Mark Lesley have turned heads, captured recognition and awards. Always present at the British Bridal Exhibition (BBEH,) they won the top supplier’s accolade, voted on by a panel of retailers, for the Bridal Buyer’s Award. They also won a Wedding Ideas award in January that was voted on by consumers.

The brand Mark Lesley is actually a partnership of husband and wife; Mark and Lesley Monk. Mark worked in the wedding bridal gowns business for twenty one years before finally deciding to set out on his own. His wife, Lesley had great customer services skills, managerial and training experience from leading a team in the civil service. They decided their skills would be a perfect fit and the Mark Lesley brand was born.
Mark Lesley describes their current collection as affordable glamor at its best. The collection is very diverse and has designs for all tastes, budget and sizes. The line is divided into four basic collections which are Mark Lesley Bridal, Bridesmaids, Paradise Bridal, and Prom, with the embroidered, hand beaded design 3021 being especially popular.
