Looks like this is straight from the Vogue catalog, does it not? Gypc Girl Photography did a superb job on capturing my Rosa gown. The Rosa gown is made from taffeta fabric and the poof sleeves and gloves are removable and can be worn separately.

Exciting news! The Wildflower gown was just published in Trends Wedding & Lifestyle Magazine on 1-10-2021 from one of my most recent styled shoots with Candice Dawn Photography, model Sparkle Sauls, and Christie Turner Designs (florals) at the 71 West wedding venue.
The backdrop, decorations, theme, and planning was all done by Texas Hill Country Styled Shoots—LOVE
The Swig Rig is such a cute bar to add to your wedding

I would love to say every bride should get a custom-made wedding dress, but after working with lots of brides, I can say that there are some qualities/traits some brides possess that make them a better fit for purchasing a custom-made wedding dress.
If one or more of these traits sound like you, then you will want to consider going custom!
She knows what she wants, almost exactly, and cannot find it at a traditional bridal salon
She loves the idea of having something no one else has and loves a lot of the designs I have created
She’s creative understands the process of making something from scratch
She loves to support local entrepreneurs and understands even though Desiree or another Dress designer may strive for perfection, it may not be perfect, it’s Wabi-Sabi
In addition to one of the above traits:
She understands she will need to attend around 5-7 fittings, possibly more if the design is changed, or there are weight changes*
*She understands someone is making a gown for her so she maintains her weight. The fitting process usually takes 3-6 mos.
She can visualize her dress from the sketch, not for the faint of heart
Designer Pledge:
I promise to be realistic with you on what I can create, within your timeline and budget, and what would need to be substituted because I don’t have the same equipment as large manufacturers or a tool/fabric/applique is unavailable to me.
I know this is the most special garment you may ever wear, and I am thrilled every time I get to be apart of that experience with a bride. I will put in every effort to make it the best experience for you.
Custom Bridal Gowns currently average at $2,000.
