Couture Bridal Alterations for a Flawless Fit
Bridal alterations are what we do best. Brides trust us with their gowns because fit matters—and experience does too. Our designers provide professional bridal alterations ranging from simple adjustments to intricate couture transformations. Whether your dress needs a few thoughtful tweaks or more detailed couture work, our team approaches every alteration with skill, care, and attention to detail.
We tailor wedding dresses, rehearsal dinner outfits, and after-party looks with exceptional attention to detail. We also have the perfect accessories to help you bring these looks to life.
Vintage Gown Restoration
Giving New Life to the Pieces That Matter Most
Whether it’s your grandmother’s antique gown or a fabulous vintage find you fell in love with, we are the only antique wedding gown restoration specialists with the breadth of skills to clean and restore vintage and antique fabrics and the design skills to thoughtfully update and restructure treasured garments. We preserve the heart of the piece while tailoring it to fit your style, your body, and your moment.
Gown Restyling & Customizations
Bridal Gown Makeovers & Personalization
If you are dreaming of something a little unexpected, you’re our kind of bride! Bring your ideas to life through sleeves, toppers, overskirts, bows, modesty builds, appliqué placement, and other couture customizations tailored to your aesthetic. Restyling is one of our specialties, and we offer an extensive collection of sample sleeves, overskirts, draping options, and more for you to try on during your fitting.
Our studio is filled with an incredible selection of fabrics, laces, feathers, trims, and an abundance of beading and motifs to help personalize your gown. With specialists on our team who excel in hand beading and intricate lacework, all we need is your imagination to create something truly one-of-a-kind.
Bridal Styling & Accessories
Everything but the Dress, Thoughtfully Curated
Finding your dress is just the first step in creating your wedding day look. One of the greatest benefits of having fittings with our designers is that they help you thoughtfully complete the entire ensemble. Our curated collection of accessories—including toppers, overskirts, capes and draping, veils, hair accessories, jewelry, wraps, evening bags, and gloves—is not only far more extensive than what you’ll find at most bridal salons, but also more reasonably priced.
We also make sure your gown is supported by the perfect foundation. We carry top-quality shapewear, corsets, sticky bras, and bust tape, all of which can be tried on with your dress during your fitting to ensure comfort, confidence, and a flawless fit. Our one-stop approach simplifies the process and makes bringing your full bridal look together effortless.
Accessories Studio
Handcrafted Pieces Designed to Elevate Your Look
Our accessory collection includes everything from custom lace toppers, overskirts, veils, headpieces, bags, gloves, and draping elements—all thoughtfully designed and made in-house by Susan Spring and her team. Additional pieces are carefully sourced from women-owned, women-designed brands, with every item either made in the USA or created by fair trade artisans we are proud to support.
Each style is chosen for its craftsmanship, wearability, and ability to transform your ensemble.
Wedding Day Dresser & Personal Stylist
Your Bridal Concierge on the Day It Matters Most
Your wedding day should feel effortless—and that’s where we come in. Our day-of bridal stylist supports you and your bridal party with impeccable styling and attentive care, so you look flawless from the first button to the last photo.
