Real Wedding: Iva & Dennis

NK Bride January 9, 2024

Since Iva had gone to fashion school, she told me she would like to take the swatch home, think of a design herself, and do some sketches.

The Process: Coming Up With The Design

NK Bride January 9, 2024

When creating a custom bridal dress, you have the opportunity to make anything you want – anything you can imagine. I know this is kind of self-explanatory, but when planning a wedding, we often think about finding the perfect dress first, and then the rest of the wedding theme is dictated by its design. But what we often don't think of is that when you make a custom bridal gown, it can be created to match your vision. The wedding venue, the flowers, or any other details can be used as the inspiration for the dress.
