Your Bespoke Wedding Dress Journey

Step 1- Design Consultation, Discover Your Dream Wedding Dress

Your journey begins with an enquiry through our website. From there, Sarah will personally follow up to learn more about your wedding, your style, and what you're dreaming of. We’ll then arrange your initial consultation at our Dublin studio.

This is a relaxed, one-to-one design appointment where everything begins. We’ll explore:

• Your ideas, inspirations, and vision

• Shapes and silhouettes that feel good for your body and style

• Fabrics, textures, and details

• and most importantly how you want to feel on your wedding day

You don’t need to have a clear idea, many brides don’t. This is a creative, guided process where your dress begins to take shape.

We will discuss budget and costs. All our pieces are individual priced you can check out the details of our pricing here

Step 2 Your Custom Wedding Dress Takes Shape

Following your consultation our Dublin studio, we develop your bespoke design. I take all your inspiration, all your style, personality and create 3/4 sketches that will tick all your boxes. They will have silhouettes that feel good for you and a little Sarah Foy design magic.

I will send these special designs in a package just for you to treasure. The idea is that you can spend time looking over these sketches picking elements from each design that feels right to you .

Step 3 - Perfecting The Fit Of Your Bespoke Wedding Dress

When you feel ready we will invited you back to the studio, to talk through your options , measure you for your bespoke pattern and start looking at the right fabrics for your bespoke piece.

Over the coming months you will visit the studio for a series of fittings, including a cotton mock up of your dress to start. This will help you visualise your design and help me to perfect your fit. It will also allow us to make changes and really make your dress shine.

This stage is where the magic really happens, where your dress evolves and is refine.

Typically, you can expect:

• Multiple fittings over several months

• Adjustments and refinements to ensure the perfect fit

• A collaborative and supportive experience throughout

The Final Step

Your finished piece will be ready in the lead-up to your wedding, allowing time for final adjustments and peace of mind. On average our brides pick up two weeks before their wedding with a final fitting to check everything is perfect 2 weeks before this. We custom our timeline for all our brides, you just let us know when you plan to pick up and we map out your fitting accordingly.

My mission is always to create something beautifully you , that makes you feel on top of the world and have fun along the way. Brides travel to my Dublin studio from across Ireland , Europe , North America and Australia fro a truly bespoke bridal experience.
