Brittany is one of the most sincere and kind hearted clients I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It was such a joy being so like-minded in our dedication to the technique and fit of her gown that was so memorable to me!

The Bucks celebrated their first anniversary just last week (6/28/25)! Cheers to you both, to many many years ahead, and to your happily ever after 💗

✨💖🌸Something in the way she moves🌞✨🤍✨

Custom Cowl Draped Neckline Redesign, Custom Pearl Buttons & Loops, Illusion Side Mesh Panels, Full Bodice Reconstruction, and Skirt & Lining Repair


📸:

Cheyanne has been such a blessing to work with! She wanted more coverage on the bodice with silhouette reconstruction and she had a very classic vintage aesthetic with the pearl button details. If you look at the Before Photos, I think you can see what we’ve redesigned together creates more balance and elegantly complements the extravagant layers of the skirt as well as her natural beauty. Thank you Cheyanne for your confidence in our vision!

Cheyanne is such a beautiful person inside and out and I also have the great pleasure of being work neighbors with her! Her kindness and passion are reflected in the smiling faces of all the sweet animals I get to see in the window staring back at me. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of my day! If you haven’t yet, please like and support 🐶🐾Luxe Pet Parlor🐾🐱

I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while! It’s been a very busy year! All current projects and booked clientele are on track to meet all deadlines. I greatly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued trust in my work!

‼️Update on Availability
The biggest challenges for clients this year are shipping delays and disruption. Currently the bridal industry is facing massive, structural supply chain delays that are affecting dress deliveries worldwide. Some other factors are difficulty in fabric and materials availability and backlogs. This is resulting in many clients receiving their gowns and/or custom materials much closer to their finishing dates than planned. Because of this and the amount of extensive alterations often with reconstruction and custom work involved, my schedule has become compressed and availability very limited for the remainder of the year.
If you are planning to work together, current deadlines start and the earliest date I’m able to meet is 9/4/26. This is expected to quickly jump to Mid November so I highly suggest booking as soon as possible to reserve your spot. I am no longer able to accommodate any new rushed services at this time.

Here are just some helpful tips please:
- Please contact me strictly through text or email. Info on my fb page & website. I am specific to Bridal & Formal Gowns only.
- Please be sure to include your Name and Finishing Date. For Estimates please include photos of you in your dress and/or inspiration photos for custom designs if needed.
- Since photos don't always show every detail clearly, including a brief description of the alterations/custom needs you think are necessary is very helpful!
- Please Do Not contact through my personal messenger or instagram. I have the notifications turned on but for some reason I am not getting them and it is just not a thing in my brain to check them. I am currently unintentionally ignoring several friends & family members hehehe

Thank you all so much for your incredible support and for understanding as we all navigate this busy season! I am so grateful to be a tiny part of your biggest days. 💖🌸

It was such a joy working alongside Makynlee and her mom, Rebekah. Both of whom are beautiful inside and out! The clean beautifully and seemingly effortless draped crepe of the gown was the perfect match for her.
The dreamiest moments captured ever.. how could I even choose which ones to share? It was very difficult.

♥️ Current Deadlines start 6/26/26.
Spring is officially full, with Summer and Autumn following suit.
For Full Custom Designs, deadlines begin late November/early December.
If you are planning to work with me this year, I highly suggest booking as soon as possible to secure your spot.

Thank you so much to all my clients for trusting me with your special days. I am so incredibly grateful to do what I love! 💗

Hope everyone has a lovely Valentine’s Day weekend! ♥️💕✨

Hello everybody I hope you are all staying safe and warm! I don’t know about you guys, but I am over the snow and hoping it will all be melting away and not return until maybe Christmas! Please feel free to join in my manifestation! 🌸

Just a little announcement:

Current Deadlines start 3/20/26.
Due to the amount of extensive alterations & custom needs for current and upcoming booked clientele this season, I have roughly 3-4 openings (depending on alterations) remaining for Spring. Once these are accepted, deadline cutoff will jump to late June/early July.

Autumn dates are already starting to fill as well so scheduling in advance is greatly appreciated and encouraged.
Full Custom Design deadlines currently start November 2026.

I am working as diligently as possible to meet the needs of all my in-progress and upcoming clients. Thank you so much for your support. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding, as it allows me to ensure every client and their gown receives my full, undivided care. 🤍💛✨

Kamryn has one of the sweetest, most genuine souls I’ve ever met. I loved collaborating with her to refine the fit and style of the straps and neckline, ensuring she felt her most beautiful, confident, and comfortable on her special day!

💮Current Deadlines start 2/27/26 and my Schedule is starting to fill up for Spring & Prom so I would kindly suggest trying not to delay if you are thinking of booking with me pretty please and thank you ❤️🧡🩵

** Please excuse the lighting shifts and camera angles; capturing the scale of this project solo was a bit of a challenge! I have a great admiration for professional videographers.

Amanda wanted to integrate her effervescent spirit into this vintage Vera Wang gown, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of its new chapter! Amanda is seriously one of the coolest clients I’ve ever gotten to work with. I had so much fun getting to know her and conferring over patterns & techniques; seeing it all come together felt like magic! I didn’t want to go overboard and I definitely wanted to still honor the original design, but I thought it would be really beautiful to blend in and layer the floral pieces cascading down the train because I liked the different depths and to me it looks like sparkling petals of color dancing with each movement. I really think we nailed it while still respecting the gown’s heritage and created something that is uniquely Amanda! I love it so much!

Looking at these photos has inspired me to approach 2026 with more vibrancy, more joy, more peace, and more creative rejuvenation. May we all continue to bloom✨🌝🌸

It was such a meaningful honor to me to be able to help Sophie bring her mother Sandy’s Original Wedding Gown back to life! From Bodice Reshaping, Custom Fit and to Extensive Lace Work, Sophie’s beauty is radiating! With a more modern design but still captures sweet memories of the past, I love that the gown now reflects both ladies so beautifully!

Sandy’s Mother of the Bride Gown was Taken in at the Bodice and Skirt with Overlay Reshaping, Hem & added a Custom Slit. My hope is that she felt just as beautiful celebrating her daughter as she did on her own wedding day!

Timeless beauty is always worth revisiting!
I’m still so in love with Ariana’s wedding gown from last year! The custom back bodice double straps, intricate lace & bead design, and all the delicate sparkling layers are still fresh on my mind like it was yesterday. I can’t believe how fast time flies by!
A huge congratulations to her and her husband Cooper as they recently celebrated their one-year anniversary of 10/13/24!
It brings me so much joy to have played a small part in such a special moment and wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! 🌼🌼🌼✨💖
