THE ATELIER
Where ideas become heirlooms.
THE CUSTOMIZATION STUDIO
Where every bride's story becomes wearable.
Your gown is already beautiful — sometimes it just needs a little more of you.
In the Customization Studio, we work with what you already have (your gown, your grandmother's lace, your mother's veil, a fragment of family fabric) and design something that carries the story forward. Small edits or larger transformations. New or heirloom. Everything scoped to the piece — and to you.
THE PROCESS
Step One: ConsultationShare your vision. We examine the gown, veil, or heirloom material and discuss what's possible.
Step two: Mapping the DesignLace placement, sleeve sketches, veil direction, or full transformation plan — curated around your silhouette and your story.
Step Three: Revisions & Try-OnsWe refine the details until every element feels right.
Step Four: Final Design PlanYou receive a written couture-style design plan you can take to your seamstress — or, if you'd like me to complete the work, we scope and build it together.

THE VEIL ATELIER CONSULTATION
BOOKABLE · 75 MINUTES · $275
Design a veil that feels personal, cinematic, and uniquely yours.
Veils are the most photographed piece of a wedding — and often the most overlooked. This session is a deep design conversation focused entirely on the veil that will complete your look.
During this appointment we'll explore:
Custom lace trim placement
Heirloom lace options (yours or ours)
Embroidery and personalization
Veil length, shape, and layers
Raw-edge minimalist designs
Dramatic editorial veils
You'll leave with:
A full veil design plan
Material and lace sourcing notes
A quote for full completion — should you choose to have the veil made through us or brought to your own seamstress
THE SIGNATURE
THE HEIRLOOM MINI
BY INQUIRY · STARTING AT $2,500 · PAYMENT PLANS AVAILABLE
Bring your grandmother's gown, your mother's veil, or family lace — and we'll design a wearable modern bridal mini that carries your family forward.
The Heirloom Mini is the signature bespoke lane of The Atelier. Every project begins as a conversation and becomes a wholly custom garment — designed, deconstructed, and rebuilt from material with real meaning.
Types of transformations we take on:
Vintage gown → lace + satin corset mini
Family veil → sheer tulle mini with heirloom appliqué
Grandmother's dress → babydoll mini for rehearsal or reception
Mother's gown → Cinderella second-look mini for the after-party
Your project includes:
Initial design consultation
Sketches and revisions until we land the vision
Deconstruction of your heirloom material
Pattern work + bench-sewing (under my design oversight)
2–3 fittings
Final finishing and delivery
Because every transformation is unique, these projects begin with an inquiry rather than an appointment. I take on one Heirloom Mini every three to four months so each one gets the depth it deserves.
CUSTOM HEIRLOOM KEEPSAKES
BY INQUIRY · TYPICALLY $95 – $395
Made from your grandmother's lace, mother's veil, vintage trims, or fragments of your gown — small wearable and framable pieces that carry your family forward.
Possible pieces:
Custom garter
Lace hair bow or ribbon
Lace choker
Veil appliqué work
Framed lace art or keepsake
Small custom accessory (sash, corset detail, hair piece)
Every piece is quoted individually based on your materials, scope, and the design you're imagining. Send photos of your material + a description of what you'd love → we'll reply with a quote within three business days.
FAQs
-
Some things yes — smaller detail work, lace placement, hand-finished touches. For structural alterations, I work with trusted seamstresses under my design direction.
-
For lace placement, sleeve mapping, and precise fit conversations — yes, please bring it. For general planning conversations before you own a gown, photos and descriptions are enough.
-
Mini Custom Design Sessions are 60 minutes. Veil Atelier Consultations are 75 minutes. Bespoke heirloom projects are scoped by inquiry.
-
Yes — one guest maximum. These sessions are intimate and detail-focused, and small groups keep the conversation productive.
-
Yes, on an invitation-only basis. Full bespoke work — heirloom gown redesign, garment builds from a mother's dress or sentimental fabric — begins with an inquiry rather than an appointment. I take on one project every three to four months so each one gets the depth it deserves. Send a note through the contact form to start a conversation.
-
The Mini Session is a one-hour design appointment focused on customizing an existing gown (yours or one you're considering). The output is a design plan you can execute with your own seamstress. Heirloom Transformations are longer, deeper projects where I design AND oversee the build — think months of work, not one hour. Different scope, different commitment.
