1. Initial meeting & consultation

Meet Martin for an informal, but in-depth consultation. Martin will sit down with you at a location of your choosing and have an informal chat about your ideas, preferences and tastes so that he can begin to form a design direction for your custom wedding dress.

2. Production of Mood Boards

Following on from the initial meeting Martin begins the process of creating Mood Boards.

Mood boards are an important stage in the process of creating your wedding dress as it helps both you and Martin to get a clear visual understanding of your unique tastes and vision along with the design direction the wedding dress will take.

3. Fabric Selection

Fabric selection is where the fun begins.

Martin will show you an array of fabrics and trims, from which you can make a choice, or you can select a plain fabric upon which Martin can create embroidery and beading designs as an enhancement, all of which contributes to the uniqueness of your wedding gown.

4. Designs

With your fabric selected and chosen, Martin will begin the process of designing your dress and submitting a selection of designs for your feedback and approval.

Martin creates digital mockups of your dress so you can see every detail rendered as realistically as possible. These mockups are very precise and will help you to visualise how the finished dress will look.

Working in this way allows Martins to quickly make design tweaks and adjustments and react promptly to your feedback.
