Bridal Orders

We are happy to alter and make changes to our collection. Book your appointment to try on our gowns.

Step 1: TRYING ON GOWNS
Make an appointment or go to the store to try on gowns. Once you have chosen your gown we will take your measurements and you will choose your fabric selections. A 40% deposit is required before we begin the design of your dress. Ready to wear collection pricing is between $900.00 - $3000.0

Step 2: FITTINGS
Depending on your gown design you may need 2-3 fittings for the completion of your gown. We will make appointments with you to come into the store to have them done.

Step 4: TAKING YOUR GOWN HOME
We do one last fit before you take your gown home to ensure the fit is perfect. We will then steam, press and package your gown so that it looks its best on your wedding day. The balance owing is paid prior to taking your gown home.

Having a Couture Custom Gown Made

All of our custom couture gowns are uniquely designed for our individual clients. Each gown is made in Vancouver and takes about 6 months to complete. Couture gowns rage from $2000.00 to $5000.00 Our pricing is determined by the cost of materials and the amount of labour needed to create your gown. We will give you a fixed price before we begin. This allows us to work within your budget when choosing fabrics and design details.

Step 1: CONSULTATION (no charge)
At the first meeting, we will review your design ideas and work within your budget to design your gown. Bring photos of styles or designs that you like as we use them for the inspiration in creating your gown. We will discuss fabric selections, color choices, times lines and your budget. Gowns are available in the shop so that you can try on to see why types of styles suite you. We can help you choose the gown that will best suit not only your budget but your body type. Once you decide to have a custom gown made, a 40% deposit is required before the gown is started.
