MOTHER OF THE BRIDE & GROOM

Custom gowns designed for mothers who want to feel comfortable, confident, and appropriately dressed on their child's big day.

Each piece is created with careful attention to fit, movement, and balance,.

WEDDINGS

A limited number of custom wedding gowns are taken on each year. Work begins well ahead of the wedding date so there is time for fittings, adjustments, and the gown to take shape properly.
