At Daci Gowns, your wedding dress inspiration, ideas and dreams are brought to life:

ONE AT A TIME

ONE OF A KIND

Creating a custom wedding gown with Daci is an artistic experience. At Daci Gowns, we believe a wedding dress should feel like it belongs to no one else but you: a one-of-a-kind piece, designed to embody your vision.

Daci works with only a select few brides every year, focusing on gowns that align with her romantic, artistic and fairytale inspired aesthetic.

Is a custom gown with daci right for you?

A Daci custom gown is designed for the bride who:

• Has a vision she cannot find anywhere else.

• Loves the ethereal details - flowy silks, intricate laces.

• Resonates with the artistry of the gowns that feel romantic, magical and fairytale inspired.

A custom gown is reserved for brides seeking something deeply personal and aligned with the artistry Daci is knowns for.

The custom gown process

Step 1: Initial consultation

After reaching out through our website, you will connect with Daci over FaceTime, continue over e-mail, or in person if you are located or want to travel to Boise. During your private 45 minute consultation, you will share your inspiration, favorite silhouettes and textile preferences. Together with Daci you will refine your vision and begin envisioning your gown.

Step 2: Design and Sketches

Daci will draw sketches or your gown and source fine silks and laces curated to match your vision. This stage is highly collaborative - you will see the artistry come alive on paper before a single stitch is made. .

Step 3: measurements and fittings

Measurements are taken virtually (guided by Daci) or in person. Through 1-3 fittings (virtual or in person), your gown will evolve - first focusing on the perfect fit, then finalizing every intricate design element. Photos and videos keep you connected to the process from anywhere in the world.

Step 4: Final delivery

Your gown will be shipped to arrive no later than 8 weeks before your wedding day. At your request, a FaceTime session can be scheduled to celebrate your first try-on together.

Timelines and investment

• Please begin your custom journey 12 months before your wedding.

• Creation typically takes 8-10 months from consultation to final gown.

• Investment ranges from $6,000-$8,000.

• To preserve the artistry of the process, Daci accepts only 4-5 custom brides every year.

Bride Jessica, ontario - Canada

Below is a testimonial from our bride Jessica, who traveled from Ontario, Canada for her custom wedding gown 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.”
