Bonnie Daws Bridal Design Studio

If there was a way to give Bonnie more than 5 stars I would! Bonnie made my amazing alencon lace wedding gown, matching bolero and my mantilla veil! I felt like a princess on my wedding day and I got more compliments on my dress than I can count! The best part is that I swear this dress made me look 20 lbs lighter because it was made so well!! I had a vision early on of what I wanted- something all lace and very figure flattering (which is hard when you are plus sized). I couldn't find what I was looking for anywhere, despite searching at every bridal store from Lansing to Toldeo. I tried on at least 70 dresses before deciding to just have what I want made, and then I found Bonnie through google search. The fabrics Bonnie uses are just incredible, she can get anything you want, but the way she works with lace is just amazing. The whole process of working with her really exceeded my expectations- I showed her photos of 4 or 5 different gowns that I liked parts of, and she understood exactly what I wanted. Even the muslin draft she made was just amazing, it fit like a glove! After a few fittings, I changed my mind about the style of neckline I wanted, from a sweetheart to a v-neck. She called me the next day and said she stayed up all night re-working the top of my dress to change the neckline for me! I couldn't believe it!! Bonnie just works so hard to get everything exactly the way you want it. She always said “I just want you to love it” and I did! If you are thinking of having her make your dress, just go for it, you will be so happy!!! Almost forgot to mention, her prices are phenomenal too!!

Not only are the gowns gorgeous, but the work is impeccable. I have met MANY thrilled brides over the years of which Bonnie has helped make their dreams come true. Bonnie has burning passion for her craft and it shows through in her work. On a side note, a custom gown is more affordable than one might think - always worth it to have a complimentary consultation and find out!
