About Priscilla Couture Bridal Fashion House

The Thread That Binds Art, Elegance, and Individuality

Born into a world where lace whispered secrets and dress forms stood like muses, lead fashion designer and founder Priscilla Carvalho was always destined for design. Raised in the rich cultural rhythm of her Brazilian and Italian heritage, she absorbed a lifetime of artistry before ever sketching her first silhouette.

After relocating to the U.S. in 2002, she opened her first couture studio in Philadelphia just three years later. Since then, she has hand-designed over 5,000 custom bridal gowns and eveningwear pieces—each one a poem sewn in thread.

From bridal couture dresses to bespoke wedding gowns, her work is a fusion of vision and emotion, shaped by the personality of the client and expressed through fabric.

With a designer’s eye and a costume maker’s heart, Priscilla brings storytelling into every stitch. Her gowns are wearable artwork—evocative, personal, unforgettable.

The Philadelphia Atelier Behind the Gowns

Step into the Priscilla Couture Studio, nestled in the heart of Philadelphia, and you’ll find more than sewing machines and dress forms. You’ll find a creative haven—intimate, collaborative, and focused on the woman in front of the mirror.

From concept to construction, each design begins here with a conversation. Whether you arrive with a vision or an open heart, you’ll leave with a couture bridal gown that embodies your individuality. The studio blends traditional couture techniques with modern innovation, including digital sketching and patterning tools that streamline the process while maintaining hand-finished integrity.

Sustainability isn’t a trend here—it’s a principle. We believe fewer, better, more meaningful garments are the future of fashion. And we design that way.
