Charlotte
The alchemist and favourite sister who runs our business and keeps all the cogs moving, and the most Wednesday Addams of our bunch. While she has her masters in chemistry and spent part of her career in sustainability research, since she joined Legend full time a bunch of years ago the business has grown in lots of magical ways. She’s also a very talented seamstress and super creative with accessories and can switch from creative to bossy boss and from dreamer of the impossible to ‘brass tacks what needs done now’ in the flutter of a death’s-head hawkmoth wing.
As the Gothest soul in our team, she spends her time outside of work at festivals with her high school sweetheart husband, with whom she had a pagan hand-fasting wedding, where of course she wore black!
Rachel B
The other favourite sister, lead designer and technical guru. Graduating from Liverpool John Moores in 2002 and immediately setting off in a career in bridal, Rachel has been designing and creating wedding dresses for discerning brides for nearly 20 years.
As the most specialised seamstress Rachel gets to eat all the frogs (you know the saying right?) but her favourite thing is fine detailed work, so all intricate beading projects are saved for Rachel to ‘relax’ with.
Outside of work, Rachel and her husband Paul love nothing more than taking off in their van and waking up with unknown spectacular views…. or helping our folks sculpt their land. And if they can squeeze in a tattoo convention too, well that’s just their best life.
Rachel H
After working in the wedding industry for over 20 years and with Legend since 2014 Rachel has been with us since the early days. Having specialised in the ultra technical bridal alterations field Rachel recently completed her fashion and textiles degree and graduated in 2021.
Rachel is a newly wed herself and loves nothing more than hearing all about your wedding plans
Always the first to offer help and volunteer for extra projects and events Rachel truly needs a personal assistant to manage her bustling calendar - volunteers for the role can apply within. You’ll be paid in laughter and cake
Chloe
Your first contact with Legend is probably with Chloe. If you reach out via email, through our website or over the phone then it’s Chloe that will guide you through the process of making an appointment and answering any questions you might have about working with us.
When Chloe isn’t keeping us in check she can be found blowing out the cobwebs wild swimming or chilling with her ukulele and a cup of tea.
Wendy
Wendy has been helping brides feel a million dollars in their wedding dresses for over 20 years, she started out making dresses for Cupid, later in her own bridal shop and now working for us.
As an Elvis fanatic, Wendy loves nothing more than rocking up to tributes on a Saturday night, as well as a good ol’day out charity shopping (as long as there’s coffee and cake involved at the end of it).
Ruby
Ruby has been sewing since the age of 15 before going on to study textiles at Runshaw College. She started out making and customising her own clothes, which were so good that her friend commissioned her to make her wedding dress!
At the weekend you can find her frolicking at the beach with her two children or tending to her beloved plants. She is also slightly obsessed with Halloween… but I mean, who isn’t?
