Why Should You Choose A Custom Wedding Gown

Finding the perfect bridal gown is an exciting but sometimes overwhelming task for many brides-to-be. As you embark on the gown shopping journey, you may find yourself pondering important questions: How do I want to feel on my wedding day? What necklines do I prefer? Which features of my body do I want to emphasize? And what would my beloved grandma think if she saw me wearing a particular style? Choosing a gown that reflects your true essence, combining personal style and figure-flattering elements can be daunting.

As a bride herself, custom wedding gown designer Holly Butler, has personally faced the challenge of deciding what to wear on her wedding day. She understands the weight of this decision and the pressure that can come with it, especially when it seems that off-the-rack options are the only ones available. Specializing in custom wedding gowns, Holly Butler enables brides to have their dream gowns created specifically for them. By working closely with each bride, she ensures that their dress reflects their style and is tailored to flatter their unique figure. This article showcases how Holly Butler and her team work with brides and explains the advantages of selecting a custom-made dress for your special day.

Meet the Expert

Holly Butler, a Melbourne-based designer, has always had a deep appreciation for romance and beauty. Her natural inclination towards alluring elements such as sparkles, lace, and frills led her to create her own brand. From a young age, Holly knew that her purpose in life was to be surrounded by beautiful things and to make people feel truly beautiful.

“Like so many women, I had my own body confidence issues and I knew that clothes could make me feel better or worse about my body. I hope to bring true joy and love to brides that need a wedding gown. There’s nothing quite like wearing a gown you always dreamed of and loving yourself wearing it on your wedding day! I hope to inspire people worldwide to feel uplifted by their own beauty.”

A Perfect Fit Gown Specially Designed for You

When you choose a custom wedding gown, you have the opportunity to work directly with the designer to create a gown that perfectly matches your taste, personality, and body type. They will take into account every one of your preferences and ensure that every detail is to your liking. You will be the only person wearing this special and one-of-a-kind gown, making you the true star of the day.

Holly shares their approach to work: “After discussing the elements of your wedding and getting to know each other, I’ll ask you questions that will help me design for you what your dream gown would look like. After we confirm the design, I start making your gown from scratch. We then have multiple fittings to confirm different elements of the now 3-d design. We make sure it’s what you envisioned or even better than you expected. We may even change some things after seeing it come together. I guide you into what works best with the style, design, fabrications, and how it would work with your body shape.”

Quality Craftsmanship

Custom wedding gowns are known for their exceptional quality. Skilled designers dedicate their time and expertise to handcraft every detail of your gown. You can expect the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail, from intricate beading to delicate lacework.

Kind & Relaxing Ambience

Holly Butler emphasizes the significance of the fitting atmosphere in creating your custom wedding gown: “The whole atelier is ours during each appointment as we create your gown with peaceful music playing, candles burning and a moment to appreciate how beautiful you are standing in front of that mirror.”

Joanna, one of Holly’s brides, says: “She also creates the most relaxing and comfortable environment. Not the most body confident? Indecisive? A perfectionist with very specific design needs? I went through it all, and Holly always had a solution. Nothing was impossible and always in the most genuinely kind and patient way.”

Emotional Value

Your wedding gown is more than just a piece of clothing; it holds sentimental value and becomes a cherished heirloom. Choosing a custom gown adds an extra layer of emotion and significance to your gown, as it is designed with your personal story and preferences in mind. It becomes a symbol of your love and commitment, carrying with it memories that will last a lifetime.

Holly adds: “Having this bridal experience is one of the reasons why our brides come to us. So many of our brides remark how impersonal wedding gown shopping can be and how repetitive the designs are. In complete contrast, coming to Holly Butler is a comfortable, personal, and creative experience.”

If you’re feeling stressed by the idea that no one understands what you truly want, and look for high-level craftsmanship, passion for design, attention to detail, and a kind approach, Holly Butler and her dedicated team will not just listen but celebrate your ideas and see them come true by making you the custom gown of your dreams. So, say “yes” to a custom gown and embark on an unforgettable wedding gown experience.
