Wedding Inspirations  

Many a bride is now going the custom route when it comes to their wedding gowns. Allocating a bit more budget to this area of one’s wedding plan is definitely a good idea.

Why made-to-measure?

• Created to your size and requirements.
• A better fit compared to an off-the-rack gown.
• Opportunity to provide input into the design.

Be prepared for the following if you decide on custom-made :

• A few consultation and design sessions one-on-one with the designer.
• Decision on design and fabric as well as measurement.
• A number of fittings will be necessary.
• Appropriate undergarments and shoes during fittings.
