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!

I absolutely love my wedding gown! I am so glad I was able to work with such a talented designer with such great taste! She helped me discover a design that worked for me, and the result was absolutely amazing.
It was even more incredible than I thought it would be! I loved it!!

I wanted something that I felt beautiful and confident in, and wanted to feel “bridal” and romantic while still feeling like myself and a representation of me.
My custom design was the perfect fit for me and for our spring wedding day!

Lourdes took all the elements from the dresses that I could see myself in but didn’t quite love and elevated them for me. It gave me the romantic/boho feel I wanted for the ceremony; and the fun/sexy/boho look for the reception.
I felt so confident and
beautiful in the gown.
