At Edith Élan, we understand that your wedding day is a once-in-lifetime moment and that there is nothing more personal than what you wear on that day. While many brides and nearlyweds find a design from our stock collections that speaks to their energy and style, some want a look that is even more unique!
Our custom bridal commissions will always be timeless and chic, but they will also be one-of-a-kind designs. You and our designer, Lourdes, will work together to create a piece that is the meticulously crafted to be perfect expression of your personal style and tailored to reflect your individuality.
A custom-designed wedding dress or bridal jumpsuit is the ultimate expression of your élan.

If you have been dreaming of a bridal or wedding dress style as extraordinary and unique as your love story, we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible using the form below. Due to the time it takes time to create a custom-designed bridal look from first sketch to final stitch, we have a limited number of slots available for custom commissions.
There is 1 spot remaining for 2025 (Nov/Dec date).

Edith Élan designer, Lourdes, loves to work one-on-one with brides and nearlyweds to create a custom wedding dress, bridal jumpsuit, and/or reception outfit. It all starts by filling out the form below.
From there, Lourdes schedules an in-person or virtual initial consultation. During that first meeting, she'll ask more questions about the ideal design. Lourdes will then sketch designs, and, upon approval of sketches and fabrics, craft a unique pattern and sew your final look using your measurements.
We recommend starting the custom design process as soon as possible with at least 6 months before the wedding date to accommodate for any fittings, shipping time, and/or alterations needed.
We may be able to accommodate a rush, but additional fees apply. A custom rush order is for any event date that is less than 6 months away. A rush order on a custom design requires a 16-week production time, which is why we cannot accept any orders for less than 16 weeks and still expect to maintain our quality standards.
A custom-designed wedding dresses starts at $2,000 USD. Minis and bridal jumpsuits starting at $1,500 USD. The final cost of the garment will depend on the silhouette, fabrics, design details, and shipping fees. If a rush order is needed, that will also affect the price.
Final alterations (i.e. bustle) are not included in the cost because they are only available to brides that are local (or able to travel) to Charleston, SC.
At the end of the day, our goal is to stay within the budget.
That's okay! It's not necessary to be a local Charleston bride or nearlywed to have a custom wedding dress design or bridal jumpsuit made. That's what technology is for!
With a little coordination, our designer, Lourdes, can meet virtually to discuss the wedding-day look. In regards to the sketch, it will be sent digitally for approval.
If it's within your capabilites, you are more than welcome to travel to Charleston to meet with Lourdes in person!
Please fill out the form below if you are interested in a custom designed wedding dress or bridal jumpsuit. We do our best to respond in 24-48 hours.
