Your Vision,
Brought to Life.

For the bride who knows what she loves, but has not quite found it yet. Work one on one with Ella to create a Filipiniana wedding dress thoughtfully designed around you, your vision and the way you want to feel on your wedding day.

SCROLL

DESIGNED FOR YOU

You bring the vision.
We'll create it together.

Maybe you love the neckline of one dress, the silhouette of another, or you have been saving inspiration for years but nothing feels quite right.

That is where custom begins. Together, we'll take everything you love and turn it into a Filipiniana that feels completely your own.

From an idea to your dress.

01

Dream Dress Call

We start with you. Tell me about your wedding, what you love, what you do not love and how you want to feel. I'll guide you on the best direction for your dress.

02

Your Design

I'll bring your ideas together into a design created specifically for you, from the silhouette and neckline to your Filipiniana sleeves, fabrics and finishing details.

03

Your Fitting

Your fitting comes to you. We use your measurements and fitting process to refine the fit before completing your final gown.

04

Your Dress Comes to Life

Your final dress is carefully created by the MGC team, with every detail coming together into the piece we envisioned.

05

Your Dream Dress Reveal

Before your dress makes its way to you, you get to see what we created together.

It starts with an idea.

Custom might be for you if...

01

You have a specific vision you cannot find anywhere else.

02

You want to combine elements from different MGC designs.

03

You want something created around your personal style, wedding and story.

04

You want more freedom over your silhouette, fabrics and details.

05

You simply know that none of the existing gowns feel quite like your dress.

Not sure if you need custom? That's completely okay.

Book a Dream Dress Call and Ella will guide you toward whichever MGC option best suits your vision.

Questions, answered.

How does the custom process work?

Your custom journey begins with a Dream Dress Call where we talk through your vision and determine the best direction for your dress.

Can I combine elements from different MGC dresses?


Yes. Your custom design can take inspiration from details you already love while creating something uniquely yours.

Do I need to know exactly what I want?


Not at all. Part of my role as your designer is helping you bring your ideas together and guiding you toward what will work beautifully for you.

Can I work with MGC if I live overseas?

Absolutely. The MGC experience was created so brides around the world can work with us from home.

How far in advance should I start?

The earlier, the better. We recommend starting around 12 months before your wedding as the sweet spot. We only work with a limited number of brides each month so we can give every gown the attention, craftsmanship, and care it deserves.

If your wedding is sooner, don’t worry. Reach out and we’ll let you know what options may still be available for your timeline.

HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND?

Let's Create Something Beautiful Together.

Tell me what you have been dreaming about and I'll help guide you toward the best way to bring it to life.
