A few of our lovely brides and a peek into the bespoke process from initial concept to final completion, ceremony, reception and celebration.
It is vision translated at a measured pace, intentionally allowing for freedom in creativity, steadily forming a work of art; a gown lovingly crafted with impeccable materials, meticulous fit, couture techniques and an exacting eye for detail.
Each Ceedhr Bride and celebration is different, therefore each experience of receiving a personally designed wedding gown is priced upon an individual basis, serving your specific needs. Custom proposals usually begin at an investment of $7,000.
I.design phase
We get to know you and consider your needs and desires in a gown with your chosen venue and activities. We then present to you three design options for your choosing, complete with sketches, fabric swatches and any additional embellishments like beading, embroidery, separate skirts, etc. Collaborating with you on revisions, we meet to discuss in detail how your gown will look, how it will fit and the estimated time frame it will take to complete along with each cost and price options. The Design Phase can take up to 2 months.
II. Toile Phase
Once you have chosen the design for your wedding gown, we will begin taking your measurements, draping and drafting your patterns. We then sew it into a test gown (toile) for up to five fittings, usually only needing 3 fittings, to ensure accuracy, fit, proportion and to allow time for design revisions or additions. The Toile Phase is the most important and lengthy step, usually taking 5-9 months.
III. Final Phase
Your gown will be sewn up in the real fabric and gentle fittings will allow for finishing touches and styling. A week or two before your wedding we will schedule your final fitting and arrangements will be made for gown delivery or for our Wedding Day Service. The last step, the culmination of all our work together, your closest family and friends are invited to this last exciting and emotional fitting.

“I felt so much more confident because you were so enthusiastic about the designs. I also loved the fact that the process was creative and collaborative - you took on board what I was looking for and made it everything I had hoped for! I also felt really cared for, which I found so beneficial! I think looking like a bride was something I’d come to feel quite anxious about, but you really took the ideas we spoke about and made something so gorgeous that on our wedding day I felt amazing!”
