THE virtual PROCESS OF DESIGNING and creating YOUR dream dress with ‘daci gowns’


initial consultation

Whether your dream wedding gown is a custom couture experience or you love one of Daci’s collection unique dress designs, the virtual process of designing your wedding gown is easy and fun.

The initial consultation will take place over FaceTime. For the brides who prefer email we have that option available as well.

The ideal time to reach out for the ‘initial consultation’ is 8-12 months for custom gowns and at no later then 4 months for our collection gowns.

We’ve helped ‘last minute’ brides or brides with short engagements before. Please check our dress rental program for elopements and small weddings if your wedding is less then 4 months away.

what you need for the consultation

For the consultation please gather all your wedding dress ideas and inspiration.

Are you unsure what silhouette looks most flattering on you? Do you have 2 favorite dresses and cannot decide between the two?

During the consultation Daci will get to know you, understand your vision and help you narrow down the design and style of your dream dress.

You will discuss your favorite dress silhouettes, styles, measurements, textiles and colors. The fabrics we use are the highest quality, French laces and silks.

Each wedding dress is designed and created locally, in our bridal atelier in Boise, Idaho.

 

YOU SAID YES! TO YOUR ‘Daci’ WEDDING DRESS

You said ‘YES’ to your ‘Daci’ - one of a kind wedding dress. What comes next?

After the wedding dress is purchased, we will create a dress process timeline. We will schedule the Face-time fittings and set up the day we finalize and we ship the dress to you.

 

Fittings

We will schedule 2-3 Face-time fittings:

  1. First fitting is a 15 minutes long Face-time to get your measurements. You will need a measuring tape and Daci will guide you through it.

  2. Second Face-time is called the “design fitting”. This is when all the fine details of your dream dress unfold. Every design feature comes together at this point.

  3. The third Face-time is the day before we ship the dress to you. Your dream dress will be set on a dress-form and Daci will walk you though all the details you need to know about your dress.


A few other things you might want to know

  • Some of our ‘out of state’ brides want to come to Boise for the ‘design fitting’. Although is not necessary it’s super fun. If you would like to participate and go over every design feature in person we would absolutely love to have you!

  • Over Face-time or in person Daci’s main goal is that your dress will fit you perfectly and each design feature of your dream dress will be reached.

  • There will be photos, videos and emails going back and forth between the Face-time fittings.

  • At completion the wedding dress of your dreams will be shipped UPS. At request, after you receive the dress we will schedule a Face-time when you first try on the dress.

  • You can make payments on your wedding dress.


Below is a testimonial from our bride Jessica, who traveled from Canada for her bridal fitting:

“Daci's passion for designing wedding gowns is evident the moment you meet her. Her every word conveys how much she loves what she does, and how much she cares for her dresses and the brides that are lucky enough to wear them.

When I initially reached out to Daci, I was trying to decide between a gown that was fitted, and a gown that would be light, flowy, and able to billow in the Icelandic winds - the location of our elopement. Daci assured me we could create a dress that would suit everything I had ever wanted, and then some - and exceed expectations she did.

Daci designed for me a gorgeous, fitted lace dress with detachable lace sleeves, and an overskirt with several panels of hand-dyed ivory and blush silk. At the final fitting we decided to add a bridal cape with the same lace as my dress and silk panels that were slightly more blush than on the overskirt. I felt like I had several stunning dresses - all built into a one-of-a-kind, custom dress, created just for me.

Daci was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and professional in all our interactions. Since I do not live in the USA, we had to correspond through email and meet a few times over zoom to discuss the dress and take my measurements. When my mom and I flew out to meet Daci for the fittings, I couldn't believe how perfectly the dress fit me. You could tell it was literally made for me. I could have went home with it then and been absolutely thrilled with the dress.

At that first fitting, Daci went over every piece of the dress to make sure all the details suited my vision for my wedding day. Daci's attention to detail is impeccable. She added lace to the neckline, tried out a variety of silk panels for the overskirt, and ensured that the fitted dress would lay perfectly flat and not ripple. Since we were flying home the next day, Daci spent the rest of the day, (along with her lovely seamstress) finishing the small additions. When I went for the final fitting the next day, the dress was perfect.

If you are trying to decide whether you should fly out to meet Daci and do the fitting in person - don’t hesitate, book the ticket. I learned so much about my dress and the process that went into creating it that I wouldn’t have known had I not met Daci in person. Also, entering Daci’s bridal boutique was inspiring. You could see and feel how much work she has put into developing her craft and creating unique dresses for each bride.

Daci,

I have taken months to write this review, for the simple reason that words cannot describe the nostalgia I feel whenever I think about the experience of working with you to create my wedding dress.

Designing the dress, flying out to meet you with my mom, and putting the dress on for the first time will forever be some of my favorite memories. I am sincerely hoping that we will have a reason to meet again in the future. Thank you for making my fairytale wedding dress dreams come true.”
