CUSTOMIZATION LEVELS

  • Full Customization

    When we say fully customizable, we truly mean your gown can be tailored to reflect you! We collaborate directly with the Canadian designers to help your vision come to life. Not sure where you would want to start? Think mix/match bodice and skirts, fabric changes, sleeve options, & custom embellishments.

  • Partial Customization

    Partial and semi-custom wedding gowns allow you to change certain elements of your gown using options already approved and offered by the designer. For example: changing the neckline, modifying train length, or adjusting bodice coverage

  • If our designers can't do it...

    Our seamstresses and alteration experts probably can! We work in 5 incredible seamstresses at our sister shop NKIN, just a 7 minute walk down the road. Once you've said yes to your dress, you will be directed to our alterations booking manager to get you in to visit the rest of our family
