Throwback - This bespoke wedding dress we made for a bride who got married in San Francisco City Hall was so much fun!
The bride wanted a dress that she could wear more than just once, perfect in the eyelet fabric. We love the groom who is holding up his documents, truly happy to have taken the step into marriage. 😍

BRIDAL RESTYLING 🪡
Because the wedding gown is too beautiful to be worn only once, Adina decided to restyle it and turn it into a shorter cocktail/party dress. It will look incredible! ❤️

Some brides choose bridal styles that cover arms and the back for a more modest bridal look. They are cautious about how much skin they reveal, especially for the wedding service. 👰🏻♀️

What happens in a bridal fitting?🪡
Our fitters advise you and pin your bridal gown. They make suggestions on how to create the best look for your wedding day. Is is essential to bring the correct underwear and shoes to the appointment to ensure the best fit and apply the right length to your dress. As you can see in the picture, we need to pin each dress layer separately.
The fitting appointment is also an opportunity to discuss how you want to manage your dress during your wedding day. For example, we can add a bustle or a hand loop to allow a boogie in the evening.

HOW LONG SHOULD MY WEDDING DRESS BE? 💡
The rule for floor length dresses is that they should just graze the floor without being a hazard when walking and your shoes not being visible when you stand still. Saying that we believe that ultimately it is your choice. If you would like to offer a glance at your beautiful bridal shoes, feel confident to do so. As Alexander McQueen suggested - rules are there to be broken. 🖤
