Brides of the Bay Port Stephens will enable you to create a replica gown with an individual touch, to the ideal bridal gown/wedding dress you've always dreamed of, without the designer costs - because on your wedding day
you are what is most important...you are The Bride!
Brides of the Bay Port Stephens seamstresses and dressmakers can replicate most anything, with the added advantage that your measurements are taken and a pattern drafted from scratch to fit you perfectly -
Replicating an existing garment that you already know works for you eliminates all the guess work
You will find our gowns we replicate under collections - simply click on our "Brides of the Bay" or "Bay Brides" albums for your viewing.
We take our part in your wedding very seriously. Your bridal gown and how you feel on the day wearing it are the most important things, so nothing can be left to chance. The combination of beautiful materials used guarantees that you will shine on your wedding day - confidence radiating from within, because you are looking your loveliest.
We strongly recommend you take the time to visit some top-end bridal boutiques to try on different styles before you come to us, for the following reasons:
- to be sure that the style you had in mind does in fact suit your body shape
- in case you might see some other styles you had not considered
- to compare the feel of different types of fabrics, such as soft, flowing crepe satins or stiffer
- to literally move - and we mean MOVE!- around in the styles to be sure you will be comfortable sitting, dancing, getting in and out of cars, etc...this is most important
- to experience what it is like to wear different lengths of trains, as you may decide afterwards that you would prefer not to have one at all
- to see what different shades of traditional bridal colours actually look like on your skin - such as white, silk white, ivory, champagne etc.
Keep in mind that most of the gowns you try on - no matter how well made they are - will almost never fit you properly. Because of this, you will need to imagine how they would look if were made by us - as they would be made from scratch to fit your shape individually, so the style would be much more flattering on you once made perfectly. Most bridal boutiques - even the most exclusive ones - often will only either make a style in a size close to yours, or you purchase one in the closest size and then the gown is altered. In other words, it was never made to fit your body to start with - so it never really will as well as one which was made just for you. Its that simple.
We suggest for comparison sake that you visit other boutiques , because - although most of them won't literally make a gown from scratch to fit you perfectly - the quality of their work, fabric and laces will be close to what you would have through us...except that a gown made with your own seamstress will always fit you perfectly as it was custom-made just for you. Importantly, we would like you to take note of the price tags in those boutiques, because - despite the fact that a gown made with us would be made to your exact measurments - it is almost always less expensive...! You would be looking at an average of 30-50% off the price tag.
Yes you will save many $$$ whilst having a gown made to fit you perfectly - however you do NOT sacrifice quality. We are able to have a lower price tag simply due to the name on the garment being Brides of the Bay not a designer name.
Some brides come in to us with pictures of the exact dress they want. Once agreed to, a deposit is expected on the fabric for a formal referral to be given to the seamstress who we assess is fully capable to create your gown perfectly.
We would like to be able to focus on you with as little interruption as possible from other traffic through the shop. As such, we ask you to call us to enquire about a personal booking. Bookings are available throughout Monday to Friday, from 10am to 4pm - or afterhours, if regular trading hours are simply not possible for the working bride.
We at Brides of the Bay Port Stephens love romance, so we love anything bridal. We would be so pleased to assist you in creating your beautiful gown, so that your day will surely be the most wonderful day of your life...
