The Couture Process
Working closely alongside a top international fashion designer to create a custom wedding dress is the ultimate luxury for most brides-to-be and Britta welcomes her clients to The Couture Gallery Atelier to join her in the couture process, from start to finish.
“A level of couture craftsmanship that most of us will only experience once in our lifetime.”
Before getting started, Britta meets with her clients one-on-one to discuss initial thoughts about the design and style of the dress, as well as the type of décor and ambiance they are planning for their wedding.
This consultation is a collaborative experience during which Britta combines her expert advice about the details – from shapes and colour to fabric choices – with a bride’s personal tastes to conceptualise a dress design that is both aesthetically stunning and authentic. A further in-dept consultation follows, finalising the design and materials, before measurement are taken and the Couture Process can begin.
“Designer Britta Kjerkegaard takes a distinctly individual approach to creating exquisite gowns.”
Every gown is created at the in-house Atelier by Britta and her trusted team using only the finest materials, with laces being sourced from France and Italy, and silks coming from Europe and the UK. Brides can expect the entire couture process to take anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the design.
Several silk fittings ensures the perfect fit and allows for tweaks and changes a bride may want to make along the way, as well as placement of any trimmings or embellishments. Bespoke bridal accessories, such as veils or toppers may also be chosen in the process, completing the final wedding day look.
By offering a personal service from the first sketch to the finished dress, Britta and her team ensures the couture process is an exciting and inspiring journey. A once in a lifetime experience, resulting in a truly unique gown for each individual bride-to-be.
