The unique advantages of a bespoke wedding gown
A bespoke gown allows you to express your personal style like no other. Whether you envision a classic and elegant silhouette or a modern and avant-garde design, we can bring your vision to live. Since Mara Marie Bridal has an in-house atelier, you are not limited to what's available on the rack. Instead, you have the freedom to create something truly extraordinary. With over 7 years of bridal experience, Mara Marie has been perfecting her craft and collecting gorgeous fabrics all over the world. Since fabric is one of Mara's greatest inspirations, she tends to purchase gorgeous fabrics wherever she goes. Sometimes these fabrics are not able to be recreated or repurchased allowing you to have fabric that is truly one of a kind.
Understanding the process of creating a bespoke wedding gown
Creating a bespoke wedding gown is a collaborative process that starts with a consultation at Mara Marie Bridal. During this initial meeting, you'll discuss your ideas, inspirations, and preferences. At Mara Marie Bridal, we have a selection of gowns you can try on at your consultation to get a feel for the elevated craftsmanship, the luxurious fabrics, and the overall fit of Mara Marie Bridal gowns. Mara will take your measurements and create a personalised design that captures your vision. Once the design is finalized, the next step is selecting the perfect fabric and embellishments for your gown. From luxurious silk and delicate lace to intricate beadwork and embroidery, the options are endless. Mara Marie will guide you through the selection process, ensuring that every element of your gown is cohesive and harmonious.
After the fabrics and embellishments are chosen, the exciting dressmaking process begins. Mara Marie and her team will bring your gown to life, meticulously cutting and sewing each piece to create a flawless fit. Throughout the process, you'll have multiple fittings to ensure that the gown is perfect in every way. From initial consultation to your perfect gown, the process ideally takes around 6 to 8 months. Mara Marie Bridal has the flexibility to work with most, if not all timelines.
Finding the right designer for your bespoke wedding gown
Choosing the right designer for your bespoke wedding gown is crucial to the success of the project. Here at Mara Marie Bridal, we know there are so many talented bridal designers to choose from. We will never pressure you to choose us (but we hope you do) because at the end of the day it is about you finding your perfect gown and the designer who can bring it to life. Having a bespoke gown made is an extremely intimate experience and you should feel comfortable every step of the way. Do your research and read reviews from previous clients to get a sense of the designer's reputation and the quality of their work. We even suggest scheduling consultations with multiple designers to see who you connect with and who truly understands your style and preferences. Remember, it's important to trust your instincts as this is a once-in-a-lifetime gown, and you deserve to work with someone who will go above and beyond to make your vision a reality.
Choosing the perfect fabric and embellishments for your gown
The fabric and embellishments you choose for your bespoke gown play a crucial role in its overall look and feel. Consider the season and venue of your wedding when selecting fabrics. For a summer wedding, lightweight and breathable materials like silk chiffon or organza may be ideal. For a winter wedding, heavier fabrics like satin or crepe can add warmth and elegance.
When it comes to embellishments, think about the level of detail you want. Lace is a timeless choice that adds romance and femininity to a gown. Beading and 3D elements can be used to create texture or add a touch of sparkle. We work some of the best fabric suppliers in the world, allowing you access to gorgeous options that complement your style and enhance the overall design of your gown.
The cost of a bespoke wedding gown and why it's worth it
It's no secret that a bespoke wedding gown comes with a higher price tag compared to off-the-rack options. However, when you consider the level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and personalized experience that comes with a bespoke gown, the investment is well worth it.
A bespoke gown is not just a dress; it's a work of art that is created specifically for you. The hours of labor, the expertise of our skilled team, and the use of the finest fabrics and materials all contribute to the cost. But more importantly, a bespoke gown is an heirloom piece that you can pass down through generations, a tangible memory of your special day.
