The making of a gown is a very intimate and moving process, almost a journey for most brides. Seeing your gown take shape and become yours is a truly special experience and you will have fond memories of it for the rest of your life.
The first time we meet is the most important, because this is when we design your gown. You will try on all the available gowns from my collection to see which shapes and cuts are the most flattering, and which styles suit your personality best. Then we start from scratch, and based on what we saw, I will design your dress. It will include twisting pieces of silk and lace around your body, so get ready for some fun.
The second time you will actually try on your own gown. Then, throughout the upcoming fittings, we will shape the gown to perfection so that by the last fitting, usually the fourth, it would become the one you will actually walk down the aisle in.
I cherish these occasions too. I still remember each and every bride I designed a gown for.
So I am looking forward to working with you and I feel privileged that I can become part of your wedding story.
The tradition of the red dress
Being a bride is an important milestone in any woman's life. Being a bride means eventually becoming a wife, and there are only few events more life-changing than that. We turn a new chapter and start something completely new. We become something completely new. To celebrate this spiritual turning-point, Hungarian weddings have a special climax. At midnight the bride retreats from the reception to take off the white gown. She then changes into a red dress that is called the new wife dress. When she returns wearing the red dress, she demonstrates that the single woman, the bride is gone, and a new wife has been born. The red dress is a symbol of passion and joy for the new life that has just begun.
To express our gratitude for letting us be part of this transition, with each bridal gown we give you a complimentary red dress. It is a meaningful piece of clothing that you can wear any time, when you want to celebrate your marriage and the new wife you have become.
