Your Wedding Gown Made to Order

Experience is a word used a lot when it comes to bridal purely because of the fact that a bride doesn’t shop everyday for a bridal gown. Before a bride decides to have a made to order gown, she would have normally looked around to see what she likes or what takes her attention.

Some things in life like to fall under the “way it used to be” story and the wedding gown process definitely sits under that banner. Made to order makes this possible without the stress of buying, getting it fixed and at the end of the day spending the same amount of money.

With all the experience we have dressing ourselves everyday, it is easy to overlook that a wedding gown is something that you should love because it represents you on the day. Colours that are worn at a wedding aren’t really that familiar to us and shapes and cuts look completely different in a black than they do in a silk white. So don’t be hard on yourself for getting it wrong and saying “I can’t believe that it doesn’t suit me at all.”

Your Custom Experience.

So, what do I do when I first meet a bride? I simply relax with my brides and trust the process by starting a conversation on why she has chosen a particular gown and why she wants to wear it for one of her most important days. The best of each bride comes out of a fun tête-à-tête and that is the magic moment when each bride realises that she actually knows and by us working together, she will end up with a comfortable and beautiful gown.

Made to order has a little magic because when in life do you get to design a wedding gown and get it right? From there, the imagination buttons are switched on. We then talk about trying on styles and it all evolves right there in front of the mirror with normally lots of fabrics everywhere.

The end result that I have become accustomed to in my bridal and fashion life is the bride ending up with a big smile at the end of it all with the confidence of it being “her” special day together with the partner that she chosen for a lifetime.

“Designing a dress is a shared experience between me and the bride. Knowing bridal fashion is like knowing all the music and each bride puts her words into it.”

 

My Consultation Process.

A made for you gown has many faces. Starting from a walking pattern, there is a very special pattern made especially for you with every point talking to your body and shape. I love this process.

Behind the scenes is always the biggest part, where it all comes together for the first fitting. At the first fitting, the bride will have her shoes with her, sometimes up to five pairs. We always have fun choosing the shoes, until the real pinning work starts. We then talk embellishments, lace, accessories, the veil. Whatever the bride wants to wear besides her gown.

The last fitting is normally around three weeks or only one week before the wedding as it is made to order and all fittings are included. I feel that each bride will change in those last weeks and there is nothing worse than wearing a gown that doesn’t fit you properly.

Each gown gets professionally steamed and put into a beautiful big bag to take away on the day. It is only normal that the day is so important for me as it is for them. Special moments imprint in our lives to be strong and a beautiful point of reference for a beautiful life forward.

Why I love my brides…

Pina asked me what wedding dress I wanted and I had absolutely no idea. She then looked me up and down and said, “you like your waist, but you don’t like your arms, you want to show your curves with something fitted but not feel too restricted and uncomfortable.”

She continued to list everything I knew about my body as if I had given her my perfect wedding dress requirements or she had known me for the past 10 years.

It was then when I knew ‘this lady knows a thing or two about wedding dresses, and I am in very good hands
