Our Bespoke Wedding Dress Process
Where Your Bridal Vision Begins and Becomes
At Priscilla Couture, every custom gown begins with a spark—your story, your silhouette, your dream moment. Whether you’re walking into our Philadelphia couture bridal studio or meeting us across continents via video call, our bespoke wedding dress process is tailored to you.
With custom gowns starting at $5,000 and designed for clients worldwide, we honor your individuality through every stitch, sketch, and fitting.
Here’s how we bring your custom couture wedding dress to life:
Step 1
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a private consultation, either in our Philadelphia studio or remotely. We’ll get to know your aesthetic, personality, event vision, and desired details. Think of it as a creative conversation—your inspiration meets our artistry.
Step 2
Design Meeting
Together, we refine your dream. This is where the first sketch emerges—your future gown drawn in detail. We’ll explore fabric swatches, embellishment options, silhouettes, and take custom measurements.
The result? A final concept that feels like you—bridal couture, made personal.
Step 3
Dress Avatar
Before we cut a single thread, we present you with a digital prototype of your gown—a 3D avatar that reflects the structure, silhouette, and soul of your design.
You can request adjustments with confidence, ensuring the final piece will be a flawless expression of your vision.
Step 4
Production & Fittings
With your design approved, the magic begins. Our atelier brings your custom gown to life with hand-finished detail and precision.
If you’re local, you’ll be invited for multiple fittings. Remote brides are guided with video support and mailed fitting samples when necessary.
This is where thread becomes emotion.
Step 5
Dress Delivery
The moment arrives. Local clients may try on their completed gown in our Philadelphia studio. For remote clients, your gown is shipped with care, perfectly packed and ready to wear.
From sketch to silk, you now hold a one-of-a-kind bridal gown made just for you.
Your Couture Journey Starts Here
We believe a couture wedding dress should feel like poetry in motion—fluid, fitted, and filled with your story. Whether you’re ready to begin or simply curious, our atelier welcomes you.
Schedule a one-on-one design consultation with our Philadelphia studio or begin your journey remotely with our digital mood board process.
