From the start, Alyssen knew she wanted a second look that felt like her. 

“I love my wedding dress, but she’s not a danceable dress,” she said. “I knew I wanted to wear red, because it’s my favorite color and my husband loves me in red.”

A Vintage Dream Reimagined: Meghan’s Custom Maid of Honor Gown

When Meghan’s younger sister, Carolyn, planned her New Hampshire lakefront wedding, she asked Meghan to stand by her side—not in a lineup of bridesmaids, but as her sole maid of honor. 

“We didn’t do traditional bridal parties. It was just me,” Meghan said. When Meghan got married, Carolyn was her entire bridal party, too. 

Both sisters let each other pick the style and color of their maid of honor dress.

From the start, Margaret knew she wanted something different.

“I wasn’t super interested in traditional,” she said. “I just wanted to do something a little more unique to me.”

What started as a compromise—“one of the only things I liked in my price range”—turned into something extraordinary thanks to Nathalie’s artistry, intuition, and gift for transformation.

Sophia had visited multiple shops and designer showrooms, but nothing matched her bridal vision. A friend who works in fashion suggested she consider a custom gown instead, suggesting Nathalie Kraynina and NK Bride. 

When Kasey first imagined her wedding day, she dreamed of hikes and the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Tahoe, where her family has roots and countless memories.

Some brides find their dream dress in a boutique. For Hannah, the perfect look had to be created from scratch.

“Ever since I was little, I’ve loved sketching clothes,” she shared. 

Traditional wedding dresses just didn’t feel right to her.
