Introduction: The Dream vs. The Delivery

Choosing your perfect bohemian wedding gown should be an exciting journey, not a leap of faith. The global market offers endless inspiration, yet the idea of purchasing a high-value, high-emotion item like a custom-made wedding dress online is often met with fear: Will it truly fit? Will the fabric feel cheap? Who is making it?

At Lace & Love Brides, we believe that distance should never compromise your dream. We've specialized in perfecting the remote custom process, turning the stress of online shopping into a confident, luxurious experience.

Here are the five critical questions you must ask any seller before you commit to buying your bespoke boho gown online, and how we deliver confidence every step of the way.

1. Is the dress truly custom-made, or just sized to order?

The Problem: Many large online brands offer "made-to-order" sizing, meaning they produce the dress based on a generic S/M/L template that is closest to your measurements. This often results in expensive, mandatory local alterations.

Your Solution (Lace & Love Brides): Our process is fully custom-made. We don't use generic blocks. Every gown-from The Stella Gown to The Aurora Gown-is cut from scratch according to your exact individual measurements. This bespoke approach ensures an unparalleled fit, dramatically reducing the need for costly local alterations and guaranteeing that the dress is built to flatter your unique silhouette

2. What is the actual quality of the fabric and the lace?

The Problem: The ethereal, flowing fabrics seen online can often arrive feeling stiff, heavy, or cheap. Since you cannot touch the gown beforehand, you risk receiving industrial lace or synthetic fabrics that don't breathe or move beautifully.

Your Solution (Lace & Love Brides): We focus on the luxury feel. Our aesthetic is built around softness and movement. We use exclusive, often three-dimensional, European laces that feel supple against the skin, paired with the highest quality silk chiffons and tulle. Our commitment is to ensure that the fabric quality matches the stunning visual appeal, creating gowns that are light, durable, and flow effortlessly in a Mediterranean breeze or a garden setting.

3. What is the guaranteed production and international shipping timeline?

The Problem: Long production times (often 6-9 months) and vague shipping estimates can cause panic, especially for destination weddings. If there are delays, you're left scrambling.

Your Solution (Lace & Love Brides): We prioritize transparency and reliable logistics. We provide clear production schedules upfront. Once complete, we use guaranteed express international shipping services, ensuring your dress arrives safely and promptly-complete with tracking and clear communication. Our streamlined process is designed to minimize risk and maximize peace of mind.

4. How can I trust the seller's service without an in-person appointment?

The Problem: The biggest barrier is trust. How do you commit thousands of dollars to a designer you've only seen online? Reviews are essential, but you need more.

Your Solution (Lace & Love Brides): We have built our global reputation on trust and transparency. Our success is proven by:

Verified Global Reviews: We are backed by hundreds of 5-star reviews on our Etsy shop from brides all over the world who successfully completed our remote fitting process.
Detailed Support: We provide clear, detailed documentation and maintain quick, responsive email support to guide you through every step of the process.

5. Who is the designer behind the dress, and what is their story?

The Problem: Many online brands are owned by large, faceless corporations. There is no personal connection, and no one is personally responsible for the quality of your specific gown.

Your Solution (Lace & Love Brides): When you choose us, you are working directly with Shany Sasson, our Founder and Lead Designer. Our brand is based on a personal philosophy of creating unique, timeless gowns for brides who seek authenticity and artistic craftsmanship. We are not a factory, we are a dedicated custom studio. This personal investment is why every detail of your gown-from the rich lace of The Ophelia Gown to the soft tulle of The Aurora Gown-is crafted with passion and precision.
