what brides say about their “daci” wedding dresses
Bride Jessica
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.
“CLASSICALLY STUNNING WORK OF ART”
“I had a very specific picture of the wedding gown I wanted. The problem was, it didn't already exist (I searched for months!). Daci brought my vision to life and there is nothing I would change about the experience. The dress was a classically stunning work of art. She is extremely talented and was wonderful to work with.”

“such a joy to pick the fabric, the lace, the idea..”
"I had the BEST experience working with Daci! I would not have thought to have had a wedding dress specifically designed for me, but my matron of honor told me to just meet with Daci to talk about it as she had seen one of Daci's creations at another wedding. I brought my dress design ideas to my first meeting with Daci and was instantly sold on the idea. The biggest benefit was having a dress that fit MY body-something that can be hard as a woman who is bigger chested but not so much everywhere else. I hate having dresses that "kind of" fit-I wanted my wedding dress and my wedding day to be perfect! It was also such a joy to pick the fabric, the lace, the idea and the vision for the dress WITH Daci. She has such a beautiful eye and her dressmaking talent was beyond my expectations. And to top it all off, she is the NICEST person, very humble, very sweet and with a huge heart. She really cares about designing YOUR dress and making the experience be a part of the wedding. My dress was the centerpiece of my wedding, and as a slightly older bride, I wanted to stand out and for my day to be perfect. It was truly the best choice I made in the whole wedding process. I can't say enough wonderful things about Daci. She is professional, talented and it is all WELL worth the expense."

“altered to perfection, and fit brilliantly”
"I ended up purchasing a custom wedding dress made by Daci, and I could not have asked for more. It was absolutely beautiful, altered to perfection, and fit brilliantly. Throughout the whole process of finding my dress, altering it, to the last minute strap change, Daci was always more than willing to work with me to ensure that my wedding dress turned out perfect. She was so sweet, and kind, I truly felt like she cared about me and my experience. I highly recommend LaNeige Bridal, the entire staff, and Daci, to anyone looking for a wonderful experience, as well as a beautiful wedding dress. My experience was impeccable"

“truly unique and special overskirt”
Daci designed a stunning tulle overskirt that I wore over my wedding dress for my ceremony. Her attention to detail and creative design made for a truly unique and special overskirt that met my expectations and my vision. I never would have been able to find an overskirt like the one she custom made for me.Daci was a delight to work with, very responsive, fairly priced, and she finished the product in time. I'm very happy with her services and will go back to her for any custom design in the future.
“incredible process from start to finish”
"Daci's design and execution of my dress was absolutely an incredible process from start to finish. The dress was amazing! Stunning was how I felt in it and it was exactly how I envisioned I would look and feel in it. She made the dress to fit my body instead of me having to force my body to fit into the dress. I am still amazed by the magic she has in her hands. Her attention to detail and to perfect the dress is obvious in the end product. My experience was above and beyond the 5 stars I was able to give her. No one else will top her quality, her attention to detail, her customer service and her prices. Thank you so much for doing an outstanding job!"

"My husband and I met salsa dancing in Seattle. I knew he was the one from our first bachata. I had imagined our first dance long before he asked me to marry him – so it is no surprise that after he asked me we began developing our first dance choreography. For me the first dance was the most important part of the wedding (second only to the getting married part, of course), but I quickly ran into a problem. You can’t dance salsa in a wedding dress! Or can you… ?? I began looking for wedding dress designers in Boise and quickly found Daci. I emailed her to tell her about my interests (a dress that transitions from a long wedding dress to a short, sexy salsa dress in a dramatic spin out). I figured she would think I was crazy – but at our first meeting she had already done some research and had several ideas. She is amazing! She is also extremely reasonably priced for a custom designed handmade wedding dress. She made me the most perfect, unforgettable dress that, yes, I could spin out of. We met for at least seven fittings where we would design, shorten, tighten, bling up, etc the dress. After the dress was done she came to one of our dress rehearsals to watch us dance -- just to make sure everything fit and flowed well. Not only is she an amazing dress maker and artist – she is an absolutely wonderful and sweet person. I loved working with her. I give her my highest recommendation! If you want the perfect dress, go see Daci."

"Daci outdid herself. I sent her three pictures of what I wanted from each picture on my dress and she made it happen my dress was a hit and I must say I looked like a beautiful princess, I recommend her to anyone!! Thank you for making me look so beautiful Daci!!"

"With a VERY specific wedding dress in mind, I was feeling defeated standing in the local wedding dress boutique. In disgust of everything else, and nothing that I wanted, I found Daci and a few other custom dress makers on a very quick Google search. I emailed them, and Daci was the best customer service, quickest replies, and kindest heart! From the very start she and I were on the same page with style, she listened to all my particulars, and was very helpful with advice and suggestions. From start to finish, it was a breeze and was worth 4x the amount I ended up paying! I am so thankful for Daci and her wonderful service and craft! Thank you, Daci!!"

"Daci worked very hard to make sure my wedding dress was just the way I wanted it. Not to mention how flexible she was about working with my crazy schedule. The end result was absolutely beautiful and the price was extremely reasonable for a custom made dress! She even made some accent flowers for myself and the flower girls; as well as performing dress alterations for my bridesmaid. I can't thank her enough for all of her hard work and expertise! She really went the extra mile to make sure we looked our best on my wedding day. Thank you so much!"

"If you are anything like me and you are looking for that one of a kind dress Wedding Gowns by Daci is the only way to go!! The dress I had in visoned for my wedding day just didn't exist in the bridal stores. Believe me I looked there were dresses that came close but nothing gave me that overall look that I was going for. Thank goodness I ran into Daci at the Boise Wedding show. We quickly began talking about what I was looking for showed her some ideas and she let me know that she was absolutely positive that she would be able to make me THE dress. And she was right it is the most stunning dress I have ever seen (yes I am little biased)! In fact it is so much better! Thank you so much Daci for helping me create the dress of my dreams and making my wedding day that much better!"

"Working with Wedding Gowns by Daci was a dream come true. I searched for a gown for months before I stumbled on Daci online. Her gowns are absolutely breathtaking and worth every single penny. She is affordable and easy to work with and extremely accommodating.I recommend everyone to her to get their one of a kind gown because she will meet every expectation you have ever had for a dress!"
