Custom Wedding Gown for my friend, Alti

I feel both excited and honored to have the privilege of creating a custom tailored gown for a very special friend of mine who was also my kickboxing instructor. My friend Alti gets married this September and I thought it would be fun to share the process that has gone into creating her beautiful and sexy wedding gown.

Alti and I began brainstorming ideas about her wedding gown about 6 months ago. When I first brought up the idea of custom designing her wedding gown, Alti was thrilled. She knew that she wanted something very sexy with a very low cut back and a halter top with lots of support. She was visualizing a wedding dress that was dramatic and that accentuated her beautiful assets but which also remained classy and elegant… and so began my search for ideas. I searched for styles that I figured she’d like based on her body type and style. And just as I anticipated, none of the gowns that I came across incorporated all of the elements that Alti was looking for. Here is when the fun part began...I gathered several images and began drawing up rough sketches mixing and matching bodices of one gown with the skirts of another gown. I was finally able to come up with a design that I thought Alti would like so when I presented the rough illustration to her, I was pleased to know that she absolutely loved it.

I then sent out my pencil drawn idea to my fashion illustrator for her rendition of the proposed design.

 

I really loved the illustrator's rendition of our idea and I only needed to make a few minor tweeks...I needed the illustration to represent exactly what I had in mind for Alti. I know that Alti isn’t really too fond of a lot of bling so the crystal appliqué on the front of her gown needed an adjustment in size and the bottom of the dress had to illustrate ruffles and from the knee down, the gown needed to be more form fitting... so after a couple minor tweeks, here is the final design of my friends gown...


 

 

I can't wait to see the finished product! Be sure to stay tuned as we bring this beautiful and sexy wedding gown to life! ...

 

 

Is a Custom Tailored Wedding Gown right for you??

Let me begin by saying that the idea of a having a wedding gown personalized or custom tailored should NOT be confused with the creation of a cheap replica!  I've read so many horror stories online about brides purchasing replicas from Chinese manufacturers based on a stock image only to find out that the replica looked nothing like the image when they received their gown.  This is your big day!  Why would any bride take the risk of not receiving what they ordered, nonetheless your wedding gown!!?  If the price is too good to be true, then it probably is! 

While I'm certain that many brides struggle with hefty price tags upon visiting bridal salons and some brides refuse to visit bridal salons altogether because of this idea, you should know that there are several reliable websites and department stores where you can purchase a beautiful gown that is accurately represented on the vendors photos and at times you may find a good deal.  Planning a wedding is stressful enough, you don't need to add the fear of not knowing what the most important item on your wedding list will look like.

I started my online bridal gown business with this in mind.  As a former bride, I struggled with the idea of a hefty price tag.  I knew that I would only be wearing this gown once and no matter how perfect I wanted my gown to be, I had to stick to my budget.  I didn't want to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a designer gown but I also didn't want to compromise the quality of my gown by ordering a replica.  After I got married, I got to thinking... There must be several brides out there each day experiencing the same frustrations.  Struggling to find their dream gown but one that is not ridiculously over-priced.  Let's not mention that sometimes visiting a bridal salon can be quite intimidating.  That's when it occurred to me that I needed to step in and help brides who were facing the same challenges that I faced as a bride.

A personalized wedding gown is perfect for the bride who is taking the nontraditional approach in shopping for her wedding gown.  She wants to create a personal experience but doesn't want to deal with pushy sales people or be forced to purchase a gown simply because she's used up her alloted appointment time at the bridal salon.  She knows her style and wants something that is personal and which she partook creating.  She wants individual attention without any pressure.  She knows what she wants and she is willing to splurge a bit in order to get her ideal non-designer wedding gown, but not to the point that it will break her bank.  If this sounds like you, then you're an excellent candidate for a custom tailored wedding gown!
