THE CONSULTATION
This is where your bridal journey begins. In a relaxed chat, we’ll get to know each other, talk through your vision, explore inspirations, and discuss fabrics and silhouettes that bring your dream dress to life. You’ll have the choice to personalise a piece from the ARDELLE collection or go completely bespoke, creating something entirely unique to you. We’ll guide you every step of the way and outline the next stages so you leave feeling excited and confident about what’s to come.
DESIGNING YOUR DREAM GOWN
This is where your vision starts to take shape. I’ll create 2-4 sketches inspired by you and your story, then share them with you to explore together. You’ll choose the details you love from each, and with your feedback i’ll refine everything into one final design, complete with fabric options and special touches that make it truly yours.
FIRST FITTING
Once your design is finalised, we begin creating your toile, a mock version of your dress. You’ll come in for a toile fitting, where we perfect the fit and explore any tweaks to the design, ensuring every detail feels just right before we move on to creating your final gown in its chosen fabric.
SECOND FITTING
At this stage, your dress really starts to come to life. Made in the chosen fabric, the dress isn’t finishes yet, but you’ll see our vision taking shape. Every fabric behaves differently, so we’ll fit it carefully and make any tweaks needed before moving on to embellishing and finalising your gown.
FINAL FITTING
At This is the moment your dream dress is almost ready. At this fitting, the gown is practically complete, and we’ll try it on to ensure the fit is perfect. Any last adjustments are made only for fit, so you leave with a dress that’s truly ready for your big day.
