I’m so excited to start sharing the Custom Bridal Process for the first time in so long! During the pandemic I had the great joy of working with @abbystamp and I’m so happy she got to have the wedding she hoped for in the dress she dreamed of! Follow along as I share the story of her dress with the unique hashtag #FleurDeMeCustomBridal (every 3rd pic on our Instagram feed will show a step, creating a #WeddingRow you can easily scroll through.) It may seem counterproductive but when someone comes to me for a Custom Wedding Dress one of the first things I ask is if they’ve already gone dress shopping or not. As a Custom Wedding Dress Designer and Creator I’m not in the business of recreating an existing dress or altering wedding dresses. I work one on one with bold women to make their dream dress a reality with a focus on personal style, fit and comfort. The wedding dress shopping experience can be magical. It can also be torturous. All women are different and I know well the anxiety, insecurity, frustration and discomfort that trying on clothing can conjure up. I suggest, if you like trying on clothing you should go “wedding dress shopping” before our Bridal Style Consultation, but if you hate trying on clothes, don’t put yourself through it. The benefit is to figure out what styles look good on your body, and that’s very hard to do without trying on dresses. You may know what styles you like, but knowing what styles you like on your unique shape is more important. If you’re into it, trying on dresses (even/especially styles you don’t think you’ll like!) with your crew be so fun and such a special experience. Taking photos of dresses you liked, like Abby did, can be super helpful to communicate style, fit, what you do and don’t like. And, if you fall in love with a dress, BUY IT! A conversation or a consultation is not a contract and I try to be very clear about when I begin dedicating my energy to a Client in exchange for their commitment to me as their Wedding Dress Designer. It’s an honor to be part of someone’s Wedding Day and my Custom Bridal Clients are my top priority. 💍 👰🏻 💖 . . . #custombridal #weddingdressshopping #designprocess https://www.instagram.com/p/CQv_fbLtLec/?utm_medium=tumblr
