Raised in the quiet woods of Wanakena, New York, Timothy Westbrook discovered the power of sewing at age five, and today he builds ceremony-into-every-seam with T. L. Brooke Bridal. A queer, disabled designer, he rejects convention in favor of inclusivity, designing for shape and story—not size or norm. His work has been featured in Loveinc and in national publications, praised for its sustainable vision and deeply personal touch. Westbrook’s debut bridal collection (decades in the making), Genesis, uses post-consumer, repurposed materials—everything from discarded plastics to unusual fibers—to transform the overlooked into the unforgettable. He has also been recognized in major outlets including The New York Times for turning “trash into eccentric bridal looks.” Beyond aesthetics, Timothy brings emotional care to fittings and consultations, understanding that choosing what you wear for one of life’s most important days can also be a process of healing. With over a decade of experience across price points from hundreds to tens of thousands, he holds space for every client's story, ensuring that when you walk out, you feel both seen and radiant.
