Custom Gowns
Valentine Bridal began when owner Sonni designed her own dress for her wedding over 10 years ago. Now, with a decade of experience, the designer has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to bespoke gowns. As Sonni writes on her Instagram, “I love custom. I love the challenge of custom. I love collaborating with my brides and making one-of-a-kind gowns!”
One of Sonni’s gowns was even featured in Vogue Magazine! Keep reading to learn more about the possibility of receiving your own high fashion garment.

2. Fabric & Fit
After your initial meeting comes time to select the fabric. Valentine Bridal boasts various luxury fabrics imported from around the world.
