It’s 2019 and yes! Black Wedding Dresses are a huge hit those days! It’s honestly so amazing to see all of those different unique colors popping up for Wedding Dresses-from pink, champagne to darker hues like black, it seems that Wedding Color Trends are becoming more unique day after day!
Our gorgeous Samantha reached out to us many months before her Wedding! She was looking for a Black Wedding Dress but wanted to incorporate another shade with it. So we worked together and decided to have an off shoulder gown with Black Sleeves and an inner champagne satin lining. ( She later made the sleeves removable and oh wow! They looked stunning!) .
She also wanted a train but didn’t want to be stuck with it for the whole day, so we created a lovely train with black lace applique all over. It gave her an eye-catching look without it being too heavy!
Her Wedding Colors were so beautiful. She used a mix of Burgundy, shades of green and white to beautifully create contrast with her dress. She even took care of the florals herself!
Take a look at some of her gorgeous Wedding Day Photos! It was a truly splendid Gothic Wedding!
On the 10th of January 2019, we were delighted to know that Brides & Tailor was awarded with the ” 2019 Couples’ Choice Award” in Metro Detroit, Michigan by WeddingWire. It was our honor to be nominated by brides who have experienced the memorable process of having their dream gown tailored into life and by a professional bridal platform which connects brides to respective vendors! We’d love to take this opportunity to thank each one of our brides, not only for allowing us to win this award, but also for believing in our vision and mission to make custom bridal gowns affordable for all brides. Serving brides in Michigan and all USA!
We love how beautiful fall is in Michigan, with all the lovely nature colors! We love it even more because Brides & Tailor just won the Global Wedding award of “ The Most Innovative Bridal Shop in Michigan 2018” by the prestigious Lux Life Magazine which showcases the brightest and best from across the wedding industry.
Every day, many established businesses such as wedding dress providers, venues, florists and other bridal service businesses create unique experiences that their clients will treasure forever, and this is what this award recognizes. Earlier in the year 2018, we have been happy for the news that we have been nominated for this award, and now that the awards have been given, it is great to know that we were among this year’s winners!
We would love to take this opportunity to thank all of our past brides who have been sharing their great experience with Brides & Tailor. We aim to create a personalized experience for each and every bride who chooses to have a custom made wedding dress and we promise we’ll continue with it!

I was assured that the dress would be made on time (and in fact, it came early!) and that they would do everything in their power to create something beautiful...and wow, is it beautiful! Working with Manal was a breeze and her communication was out of this world. The dress fits like a glove and the details are exquisite. I could not recommend Brides & Tailor enough!read less

She’s SUPER talented in so many ways. Her dresses are completely handmade + always stunning! I mean, they’re custom! She creates with such a vision. Her style ranges from the traditional wedding dress all the way to the themed wedding dress!Specifically, I’ve done two Styled shoots with her. She’s professional + allows the creative team to a share ideas, thoughts and is really open to suggestions. It’s refreshing working with someone like this. If you’re looking for an affordable, quality custom Wedding Dress (or event dress for that matter), you should check her out! She’ll make your vision come to life!read less

She did it twice as there was not a clear understanding for the first sketch, whether my fault or her fault, she made it right. I ultimately did not have the dress made because I was quoted a higher price for a plus size gown and she stated the higher price was for the extra material. Of course, charging more for a size 18 or 20 because of extra material would make more sense if the sizes 0s, 2s or 4s were given discounts, which I'm sure they aren't. It all evens out. It's just one more burden for a plus size bride. Gowns available for purchase whether a 4 or 24 or even larger all are the same fee. The price for my gown was quoted higher than more intricate gowns on her site. I do love her work and clearly she has beautiful gowns so I am disappointed I was unable to purchase from her.read less

I had sent her 3 separate dresses and asked her to combine them all into my dream dress.. but in black! I never had luck finding a black dress that looked bridal... until I met Manal! She put together exactly what I was imagining in my head and it’s made perfectly! She was super sweet, helpful, and very responsive. She made the fear of ordering a wedding dress online completely disappear. The turnaround was insanely fast as well. Prices were extremely reasonable given you’re getting a handmade, one of a kind custom dress. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the customer service and dress I received. I will definitely be recommending Brides and Tailor to everyone looking for a wedding dress! I will update the review with pictures once I say I do!read less

I started working with Manal on my dream wedding gown about a year ago. I was a little apprehensive about having a gown made from states away from me but Manal ensured me I would be a part of the process every step of the way, and I was! Manal was patient, knowledgeable and accommodating. She helped my dream wedding gown become a reality. From Sketch to shipping the process was nothing short of perfect. The gown is more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. It would be difficult if not impossible to find better quality or value than Brides & Tailor.read less

I was supposed to get married on Halloween (Covid ruining everything), so I didn’t want a traditional white dress and let me tell you it was SO difficult finding a dress I almost gave up the idea of the non-traditional route. But then I found my saving grace, Manal thank you so so much! She paid attention to all the little details I asked for, gave me so many options of fabric colors, lace appliqués, beadings, etc! Also they made me a matching veil for FREE!! Such a sweet little surprise and you can’t beat that for the price!

To me, what I wanted was so simple but no one made it because it was considered “not traditional.” I looked in my city at custom gowns and they wanted thousands! That’s where brides and tailor came in. They helped put to paper what I had in my mind. They kept me updated throughout the process, kept prices fair and when my dress was delivered this week, I felt pure joy!! Manal was a gem to work with and I will definitely be referring anyone I know getting married to brides and tailor! What a great experience!read less
