Custom Gown in a Romantic Ashford Castle Wedding | Edwina

A wedding in Ireland was in the works, and Edwina was on a quest to find her gown. The mission? Something that felt and looked iconic. It also had to vibe with Ashford Castle, one of Ireland’s most romantic venues. She met her match at our flagship Toronto bridal shop! “Vanessa honestly made the whole experience unforgettable. My mam had come over from Ireland, which made it even more special, and from the moment we walked in, Vanessa made us feel so welcome.”

Love at First Fitting

Though we’ve got loads of timeless wedding dresses, in our boutique, sometimes the moment calls for custom. Such is the case with Edwina! “She really listened to what I was looking for and ended up designing the dress exactly how I imagined it.” Our lovely bride’s wedding dress journey didn’t stop at creating her gown, “Vanessa took me in for fittings, always making sure I felt completely comfortable and confident in it. Nothing ever felt rushed, she genuinely cared that everything was just right. I can’t thank her enough.”

From Toronto to Ireland: A Castle Wedding

Leaving Toronto behind, Edwina flew to Ireland, ballgown wedding dress in tow! She and her new husband exchanged vows on the grounds of Ashford Castle, snuck in some stellar photo ops, then headed indoors to celebrate in the lodge at Ashford Castle. And everything was more magical than she’d imagined. “It was all very special and intimate with all our close friends and family around full of love, laughter and plenty of dancing until the early hours. It was everything we have dreamed of and more.”
