daci gowns - online brides
THE virtual PROCESS
OF DESIGNING and creating YOUR dream dress
Our bridal atelier and boutique is located in Boise, but the majority of our brides are from out of state or other countries. We have worked with brides from most US states and brides from Canada, New Zealand, Australia and UK.
Designing and creating a custom wedding dress or recreating one from Daci’s bridal collection dresses is a seamless and creative process no matter where you are.
initial consultation
To have a custom wedding gown made, please contact us at least 12 months before your wedding. For a Daci collection gown that we will re-create in your size, please contact us at least 6 months prior. If your wedding is less than 6 months away rush fees apply.
For the first consultation we will connect over FaceTime or through the email, whichever you prefer.
what you need for the consultation
For the consultation please gather all your wedding dress ideas and inspiration. Let us know ahead of your consultation 3 of your most favorite Daci Gowns. 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 answer all your questions and concerns, get to know you, understand your vision and help you narrow down the design of your dream dress.
You said yes to your Daci wedding dress!
After purchasing the wedding dress of your dreams, we will create your dress processing timeline. We will schedule the FaceTime fitting(s), send photos and videos while each detail of your dream dress is perfected. Once the wedding dress is finalized, we will ship the dress to you.
virtual Fittings
During the process of creating your wedding dress we will stay in touch via FaceTime or through videos and photos over the email, whichever you prefer.
First we will need your custom measurements. Over Face-time we will guide you through it, you will just need a measuring tape. If you prefer to take your own measurements we will send you all the instructions over the email.
Halfway through the dress process we will have your dream dress up on the dress-form your size. We can Face-time to go over the dress progress and details or we can send you photos and videos. This is when all the fine details of your dream dress unfold. Every design feature comes together at this point.
The third Face-time will be scheduled the week before we ship the dress to you. Your dream dress will be once again set on a dress-form your size and Daci will walk you though all the details you need to know about your wedding dress. If you prefer email over Face-time, we will send videos and photos.
A few other things you might want to know
Some of our ‘out of state’ brides want to come to Boise for a dress 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.
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.”
