Book me to dress you at your wedding!
A little extra wardrobe assistance on the day of your wedding can help ensure that your gown is put on correctly and you are ready for photos and your walk down the aisle. You don't have to worry about your party remembering how to put up your bustle as I can take care of that too.
I can also assist your bridal party and if the conditions are right I may be able to lend a hand with bowties or pocket squares for the Groom's side
Your gown will most likely not fit you 100%
Whether your gown is a custom design, made to measure or off the rack, chances are you will need alterations done. You may have had measurements taken at the time of purchasing, but bodies fluctuate and proper shoes and undergarments make a big difference in the final fit. It is totally normal and expected for your gown to need a tweak or two. If you miraculously found the perfect fit, bustles do not come built in.
If you can't find what you need, let's make it!
In my studio we can make what you can't find. Matching accessories or additions to your gown like sleeves, veils, toppers or overskirts are not always available by the designer. With time and right materials we can create something special to complete your ensemble.
As a vintage lover, I love to revive something old. Sentimental touches like pieces of your mom's gown can be added to your look in a thoughtful way.
A few of my happy Brides
