When it comes to weddings and brides, each culture has a different tradition. In western countries, for example, people typically wear traditional white/ivory wedding dresses in different styles. In India,brides wear pink or red wedding dresses. Brides who are Catholic typically wear modest wedding dresses.The same thing goes for certain Jewish brides. As for the Muslim brides, they wear modest wedding dresses with head cover-ups called hijabs.
Having said that, many Hijab brides in the US find difficulty in finding the perfect Hijab Wedding Dress or the perfect Modest Wedding dress for their big day. While many brides are usually capable of finding modest wedding dress, they get caught in the problem of having to add lace or material to cover up the neck for example, extra material to cover up the shoulders or the back neckline. Adapting a wedding dress to their preferences is not an easy task. Even if it gets amended, it is usually clear that extra work has done to the gown and it often does not look like one blended piece. This is why at Brides & Tailor, we have made it our mission to cater to brides of all backgrounds to make sure that their gown is done to their liking from the time we start designing it from scratch.
Hijab wedding gowns are actually not as limited or even limiting as one might think. There are so many ways you can have your perfect bridal hijab wedding dress without compromising your taste or veil.
In this blog, we will showcase 4 of our gorgeous Hijab Wedding Dresses and the process that we follow in creating your perfect modest wedding dress or the perfect Hijab Wedding Dress. We will show you how easy it is to order your custom hijab wedding dress from the comfort of your home! We will also include some photos from our brides’ wedding day so you can see how the final product looked like when they wore it! Are you ready? Let’s begin! 🙂
This Hijab Wedding Dress was created for our Michigander bride Haneen. Haneen searched for a mermaid Hijab Wedding Dress for months, and after getting tired from hopping to a bridal boutique to another, she got in contact with us and we were all set to help! Since she wanted several Wedding Dress ideas based on a variety of photos, we decided to draw a sketch for her to be able to visualize how the end result would be like! Haneen wanted a mermaid gown with a long bodice to create a beautiful proportional slimming. effect. She also loves beadings, so we created the sketch to showcase beading and pearls on it, and the most important part she wanted, was having a removable train which can be easily removed/put on for a royal bridal entrance. One of the most unique things about her wedding dress’s skirt is that she wanted a Bling effect in it. This is what she eventually got:) This is how her initial sketches looked like before we began with her gown :

After getting Haneen’s Body measurements using our measurements sheet, work started on her dress. First, Brides & Tailor sent her a variety of lace patterns that would suit her gown. We then used what she pick to create the applique pattern, and shared it with her so she could stay updated with the process from start to finish! This was how gorgeous the dress looked like when it finished! Seeing the bride super happy is always the best gift!

Needless to say, the bride looked even more gorgeous on her wedding day! We created her wedding veil with the same lace of the dress so it can match its style, and everyone on her Wedding Day just fell in love with her look! Here some photos!
How gorgeous did she look like? I’m in love with her overall look!
Our second Hijab Wedding Dress Style here is a Ballgown Style. It was also created for one of our most awesome brides, Hawraa, who also wanted something specific based on several inspirational photos she had. Brides & Tailor got into work and started it off with a lovely sketch!
After our bride approved the sketch, she picked her lace pattern and work began! This is the end result:
Hawraa’s Wedding was supposed to take place this March, but unfortunately had to be postponed due to Covid-19. Needless to say, I am pretty sure she will look more than gorgeous on her wedding day!
3-Hijab Wedding Dress 3 ( Ballgown Wedding Dress with lace and no bling )
One of the most beautiful wedding dresses we have also created in the past few months is this lovely Ballgown Hijab Wedding Dress. It was created for our Hijabi Bride Razan from Ohio, and she stressed out the importance of having something simple and elegant at the same time. Therefore, we created her wedding dress with lace but without any bling. The lace was gorgeous enough to make her dress a showstopper! Take a look:
This is how stunning she looked on her Wedding Day:
Our 4th gown in the selection today is a beautiful two-toned dress that we have created for our North Carolina bride, Raya. Raya is gorgeous,inside-out! We just cannot wait for her to celebrate her Wedding day to show you how Royal she will look like! She wanted a color different than ivory/white for her dress, so we created her own in Champagne, adding some Bling on the lace and made it with a High Collar since this is something she loves!
We hope this round up of 4 of our most beautiful Hijab Wedding Dresses will be very helpful to see how gorgeous Hijab Wedding Dresses can be if they are created with the Hijabi Bride in mind. Do you know a bride-to-be who wears the Hijab, and is unable to find her perfect Wedding Dress? Tell her about Brides & Tailor. You will truly make her day!:)
No matter where you live in the US or Worldwide, we will be working with you one-to-one to make sure this will be an experience you will cherish forever! You can send us any inspirational photos, and we will work with you to bring your vision into life!

The Trend of Black Wedding Dresses has been becoming more trendy in the past few years. Many people used to sigh and wonder how a bride would wear a Black Wedding Dress for her Big Day, but this is in fact becoming more common those days!
Since the Victorian era, white has been the traditional color of choice for brides to wear on their special day. But, while white appears classic and lovely, it isn’t a bride’s only option. For those who are willing to follow their own personality and fashion style in particular, black makes a gorgeous selection for a wedding gown.
Dark, decadent, elegant, and chic, this inky hue is ideal for fashion-forward brides. It can be an all Black Wedding Dress, a Black Bridal Gown mixed with another color, or a Black Gown with Black Beadings to make it less Gothic. So, if you’re looking to create a bold statement on your big day, why not consider this shade? Here, we’ve rounded up a selection of 9 of the most stunning black wedding dresses we have created for our brides for you to view. But first, check out this lovely collage for these gowns before scrolling down!
1- Black Lace Wedding Dresses:
One of the most beautiful artistic touches you can have for your wedding dress, is to have Black Lace Added to it. Lace gives the gown such elegance. It doesn’t have to be all covered up in Lace. It can have Lace all over, or lace only in the Bodice Area. Here is an examples of a gown that we have done with lace all the way down with a removable train for our Connecticut bride Samantha.
2- Black and Blush/Colored Mermaid Wedding Dresses with Lace
We also love adding a hint of color to Black to give it a more lively look. Check out this Black and Blush gown we have created for our bride Emily from Alabama. The combination of colors created a soft look which doesn’t look as Gothic-y as plain Black Dresses.
3- Black & White Mermaid Wedding Dresses
If you’re contemplating to wear a black wedding dress, but aren’t sure about completely abandoning the classic white, why not embrace both shades? With a mixture of black and white, you can maintain a sense of tradition while also showcasing your unique style.This beautiful Black and White Wedding Dress was created based on what our Michigander’s bride Julie had in mind. Beadings were added to make sure the dress looks like a Wedding Dress, and the beautiful flowing skirt also created a beautiful contrast with the rest of the gown.

4- Black and White Vintage or Medieval Wedding Dresses
Vintage Fashion is also a style we truly love! Medieval Wedding Dresses are romantic, timeless and can have different traditional or modern styles. They typically consist of a Corseted Bodice and a Flowing Skirt. It is soft,elegant and timeless. Our 4th dress here was created for our Michigander bride Renee and it included a removable jacket so she can easily have 2 different looks on her Wedding Day.
5- Plain Gothic Ballgown Wedding Dress
A black wedding dress makes a particularly perfect option for brides who love a gothic look. While most black dresses will project a slight gothic aesthetic, specific styles do embrace the beautifully dark style more intensely. Adding a black veil and opting for dark makeup can also help achieve an entire gothic appearance. Our 5th dress here was created for our Minnesota bride Tori and she looked gorgeous in it!
6-Black Ballgown With Beadings and Lace
Our 6th dress here is a black ballgown which combines lace and beadings on top of it to make it less than a purely Gothic Wedding Dress. This gown has been featured on Wedding Day Magazine in March 2020. It is so beautiful and elegant. The long train also creates a Fairytale Like vibe! Needless to say, the model who wore it (Katelynn) looked gorgeous!
7-Black Ballgowns with Full Beading on the Bodice
Black Ballgowns can also include beading all over the bodice to create some beautiful contrast and make it appear less Gothic-y than it would be without them. Check out this beautiful gown we have created for our Ohio bride Roszhawn. Doesn’t she look gorgeous?!

8-Black Mermaid Wedding Dress with Lace and Beading
Black Mermaid Wedding Dresses are so elegant and lovely. Adding Beading to the lace makes the dress pop! This is a beautiful gown that was made to our Michigander bride Jamellia.
9-Black and Red Wedding Dresses
Although not for the faint of heart, a black and red wedding gown can make a superb choice. By combining two bold hues, a red and black dress would be striking and unforgettable on your special day. Check out our gown worn by beautiful Zoe from Michigan .

If you’ve become accustomed to traditional weddings, you may think your only choice for wedding dress colors are the various shades of white or ivory. However, in recent years more and more brides have been moving away from white dresses and moving towards dresses in a variety of colors, including black! If you’ve been thinking about wearing a black wedding dress, let one of our beautifully designed black wedding dresses inspire you!:)
Remember that Brides & Tailor is specialized in creating custom wedding dresses of all colors, not only Black! So whether you are looking for a custom black wedding dress, a totally gothic-y custom gothic dress or any other colors, we’ve got your back!
This beautiful Styled Shoot was recently featured on Wedding Day Magazine, one of the most prominent Wedding Day Magazines in the Midwest! It is the result of the efforts of state of the art Michigan Wedding Vendors who worked together to bring an artistic moodboard into reality.
The idea of an alternative black wedding dress came from myself- Manal from Brides and Tailor, and Brittany from Great Lakes Event Planning! We pictured a stunning black ball gown in a modern and lighter colored venue. The choice of Gold/Black color tones turned out to be just gorgeous! All the elements complemented each other so nicely and beautifully.
The Wedding Dress and veil were a showstopper! When I was working on the design of this gown, I wanted it to be in Black but not too Gothic-y. I wanted beading to be placed over the lace to give it some sort of a 3D effect, and beautiful volume to make it truly bridal. The final result turned out to be gorgeous, with hundreds of small pieces of beading added all over the gown from top to bottom. The veil also had the same design of the dress with lace and beadings to create a timeless look!
Brittney from Great Lakes Event Planning made it a breeze to work together on this shoot. Most of the people do not know how much of hard work it takes to produce this beautiful work of Art, and I must say this group of vendors were just OUTSTANDING. Lauren, our photographer, was amazing and focused on capturing even the tiniest of details. Her photos are so beautiful and airy! Douglas, our videographer, was also awesome to work with! He made sure all the videos taken reflected both behind the scenes footage and live videos from the actual shoot.
Our models were so great to work with too! The atmosphere was just so much fun! Katelynn’s makeup consisted of a beautiful smokey eye and bold red lipstick by Norma, and the hair was hairstyled into a beautiful classic up-do by Carleana! Bradley wore a black tux as well, so it was all a matchy-match!
The beautiful white,gold and green tones floral work by Plum Market was just so classy and elegant, and the stunning floral arch was created by the talented Joy who paints each one of these petals individually. This is honestly just the perfect backdrop to any bridal party! The stationary created by Lyndsay was so moody and edgy- I loved the calligraphy in there!
The venue for this shoot was chosen because of its bright and airy aesthetic. The Roostertail is honestly one of the most beautiful venues in Detroit!It is the perfect combination for indoor/outdoor weddings! Paired with the moody colors of the bride’s dress, this contrast is a match made in heaven! The cake was exclusively made by Karlee, and its beautiful gold and black mix truly complemented the rest of the moodboard!
One of the most beautiful aspects of the table were the gorgeous black linen colors provided by Luxe Event Linen, rentals by event Source and Upstage Kzoo’s candleholders, golden glass cups without forgetting the statement peacock chair. Needless to say, Britt did an awesome job setting everything up and making sure it was all picture-perfect! Since we wanted to touch on a moody trend for this shoot, black cake, a black dress, black acrylic chairs and black velvet linens are ahead of the trend! Here are some extra photos captured from this lovely day. You will also be able to watch a video at the bottom,so make sure you don’t miss a thing!
As a final note, To all brides all over the US and not only in Michigan I say: Always remember that your wedding dress should reflect your personality. If you cannot find a custom black wedding dress that truly matches your personality, count on Brides & Tailor to create your dream bridal gown. We promise this will be an unforgettable experience! ” – Manal

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

I am so happy that I chose her to make my dream wedding dress. Manal custom makes wedding dresses and I automatically knew that was the direction I wanted to take. I went to a few wedding shops and tried on various dresses. This allowed me to figure out what styles and designs I liked/did not. Once I knew what design I wanted, I worked with Manal to help bring my dress to life. She was responsive and always there when I had a question. She was a pleasure to work with and was very patient. In almost two months, she was able to put my dress together and bring it to life. I highly encourage you all to have your dream dress done by Manal. She is budget-friendly and material was of high quality. We only have this big day once in a lifetime. My wedding is still in March, I will update with photos.read less
