Your Consultation

Your consultation consists of discussing design ideas, sketching, and viewing fabric. Once you have booked your appointment, the sketching and sourcing process will begin. The sketches will be based on any reference and style details submitted by the client via email or initial conversation. Please note that we do not replicate another company/designer’s work under any circumstances. You are however welcome to send images as design references. A sketch will be presented to the client during the bridal consultation. Adjustments and changes will be made to the design during the appointment or submitted via email within 10 days after the appointment. Once the final design has been approved, the client will receive a 3d mockup of her dress design via email within 14 days. The client will also receive physical fabric samples in the mail and/or pictures of fabric samples via email for approval. Once we've finalized the design, fabric, and price, you will receive an invoice and contract via email that must be signed and returned in order to begin processing your order.
