When Kaitlin Williams and her mom, Karen, came to us to talk about a custom bridal gown in September of 2009, Kaitlin had dreamed of a designer gown she saw at a local bridal shop, but with a few modifications. Asking the designer to create a dress with these design changes would have taken it completely out of the realm of possibility.

We created the look that Kait wanted, and allowed her to actually redesign the gown herself throughout the fitting process. The final product was a confection of Chantilly lace over eggshell satin embellished with several dozen tone-on-tone flower petals and tiny pearl accents.

A week before her February 13 wedding at the Northridge Church in Plymouth Township, Kate picked up her dream gown.

“I got exactly what I wanted, which is something a store could never give me,” she said. I feel beautiful, not only because the dress was beautifully done, but also because I feel like myself in it.”

Kaitlin truly looked like a princess in her one-of-a-kind dress.
