REAL BRIDE STORIES
Jacqueelin’s Custom Lace Wedding Dress with a Detachable Train
From Her Ideas to Her Gown
Jacqueelin first saw a BridalMelody gown at a friend’s wedding in Australia. Her friend was so happy with the dress we’d made for her that she recommended us. When Jacqueelin got in touch about her own gown, she already knew what she wanted. A square neckline, lace with 3D flowers, and a train she could take off.
We picked out lace that suited the design and drew up a sketch so she could see how it all looked together. She was thrilled when she saw it. We’d talked through each detail separately, and now she could see we’d been picturing the same dress.
Making It Work
The detachable train had some weight to it, so where it attached mattered. It had to hang straight and stay in place without pulling on the dress. We also thought about who’d be putting it on. Jacqueelin’s bridesmaids would have plenty to do that day, and they’d never helped anyone into a wedding dress before. We wanted them to be able to fasten the train quickly and see straight away that it was sitting right.
On the Wedding Day
Jacqueelin was very happy when her dress arrived. After the wedding, she sent us her photos, and it was lovely to share in her joy. Knowing that two close friends had each chosen to wear a custom BridalMelody gown on their own wedding day made this work feel even more meaningful to us.
