Custom design — from the fabric to the silhouette
Every aspect of your look can be designed. From the silhouette, to sourcing specialty lace, or drawing custom artwork for beading — we’ll bring your dream gown to life!
The process generally follows below:
Submit an Order Inquiry with your ideas & questions.
We’ll chat out general design details, confirm that your timeline is workable and give you a quote range.
Once you’ve decided it’s a go, the order is confirmed with this deposit.
Once your deposit is paid, the fun begins! We’ll email you sketches, fabric options & design details. Once we’ve finalized all, we’ll email you an invoice for the total based on the decisions we make. The deposit will be deducted and your remaining balance will be due in full at that time.
We’ll then have you fill out our bride checklist or get the details from you in person.
All Couture orders are made-to-measure. We take over 30 measurements and draft custom patterns that are specific to your body & design.
To ensure your gown is fit to perfection, our process includes:
1 design consultation with swatch & sketch review
1 toile fitting
3 fittings in the actual fabric
1 final check fitting
All 6 sessions are included in the price, even if they are not all used.
For out-of-town brides unable to fly in for fittings, we'll ship your toile sample and fit virtually! Please let us know ahead of time if you are flying in for fittings or not. Our process changes a bit to best accommodate.
Please get in touch with any questions. All orders are final sale and are non-refundable. When applicable, the final balance may be subject to change to include or revise: sales tax, shipping, handling, insurance and any other costs, items and / or accessories added along the way. Once payment has been made, we will begin working on your order.
Please note, we plan our production timeline according to when deposits & final payments are received, not according to client wedding dates. Orders are completed within 6 months of your final payment.
