Bespoke bridal services
SO THIS IS LOVE
There are wedding dresses, and then there is the wedding dress, specifically crafted to reflect you. Uniquely yours, our one-on-one design service brings your creative vision to life by time-honoured techniques. You can expect true savoir-faire – think fine lace embroidery, hand-stitched beading, cascading silk and a silhouette made to fit you like a glove.
The women we dress are unforgettable!
THE JOURNEY
Delving deep into your personal style and the design details that evoke joy, the initial consultation is all about sharing bridal inspiration, and creating the foundation of your dream wedding dress. This allows us to draw and showcase a variety of sketches to find the one, that’s later altered and perfected throughout the consultations and fittings. The process is collaborative, welcoming and empowering…an integral part of your fairytale wedding.
THE ARTISTRY
Hourglass tailoring, a voluminously pleated A-line gown or daring suiting? Your imagination can truly be limitless in our atelier. From silhouettes to fabrics to embellishments, the array of swatches, combined with our artisans’ skilful know-how ensures that no idea is too ambitious, and no two dresses are the same.
FAQ
How long does the process take?
Our bespoke process generally takes 4-6 months to craft a gown that is truly unique and exceptional. However, we understand that unexpected situations can happen. If your project requires a quicker turnaround, please reach out to us, and we will make every effort to accommodate your needs while ensuring our commitment to quality remains intact.
Where are the fittings?
Our fittings are conducted at our London atelier, where you can experience firsthand the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into creating your bespoke gown.
I’m not sure about my vision, or which silhouette to go for. Is a bespoke gown the best solution?
We like to think of our one-on-one, bespoke bridal service as the personalised antidote to an overcrowded market and the untold stress of dress-shopping. If looking through endless dresses has been all too overwhelming, consulting a couturier will help you take a more mindful approach and find the garment that seamlessly blends into your love story.
What is the difference between a bespoke wedding dress and a made-to-measure dress?
A bespoke wedding dress is completely handcrafted from scratch, tailored specifically to your measurements and personal preferences. This level of customisation ensures a perfect fit and a truly unique gown. In contrast, a made-to-measure dress is typically based on a pre-existing design that is altered to fit your measurements. While made-to-measure dresses can offer a good fit, they often lack the same level of personalisation and craftsmanship as a bespoke gown.
What sets Mia la Vida apart from other bespoke bridal ateliers?
At Mia la Vida, we believe that your wedding dress should be more than just a garment; it should be a reflection of your unique personality and the love story that inspired it. Our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, personalised service, and timeless design sets us apart from other bespoke bridal ateliers. We offer a truly immersive experience, from the initial consultation to the final fitting, ensuring that your dream wedding dress is a masterpiece that exceeds your expectations.
