    My partner and I both had dresses crafted by Wedding Dress Fantasy. We didn't go in to the shop, but rather we ordered the dresses online and sent in our measurements and what we were looking for, based upon a couple of photos Tova had posted.

    I have to say, I never expected to have such perfect results as we received. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the garments turned out exactly as we would have dreamed (and we left her with some creative license at parts), and they fit absolutely perfectly. I can't say enough positive about her work.

    There aren't enough positive things I can say about this experience. I would recommend her work to anyone, and if I ever need a formal dress in the future, I will certainly be contacting Tova. We are over the moon about our dresses, and giddy at the thought of how fairy tale perfect they will be walking down the aisle.

    I loved my dress

    It was hard deciding on one of her designs. I highly recommend you check out Tova's work.

    The perfect dress I couldn’t find anywhere

    After a ton of searching for a non-traditional colored wedding dress I found Couture de Bride. Tova offers a great variety of gorgeous dresses and a beautiful range of colors. She sent me color swatches so I could pick the right shade (Dove gray, my dress looks like it’s made from storm clouds), and was able to adjust an existing design(neckline and additional buttons) to become the exact dress I’d wanted. A beautiful traditional looking embroidered dress in a non traditional color. She was always prompt in replying to emails(within a business day), even my panicked check ins during the pandemic shut downs. My dress fits like Cinderella’s slippers and will only need to be hemmed when I decide on shoes. I paid for rush shipping and it was shipped out exactly on time. I’m excited to add pictures once we have our wedding(Don’t want the fiancé to stumble on them early). The dress is well built and elegant in design, and the fit n flare style fits my hips, waist, and chest just right. Very reasonable pricing for design adjustments and custom colors. I highly recommend.

    Wedding Dress Fantasy via Etsy

    Tova Marc and I were in touch several times throughout the process with measurements and everything else. The follow-up and inquiry was fantastic. I received the dress last week and tried it on over the weekend. My wedding dress fits like a glove and is fabulous. Wedding Dress Fantasy is who you want to use online and it can be a risk but this was well worth the risk and wait. The results were amazing. I was provided with my dream dress for my wedding.

    Gorgeous dress, great fit, and responsive seller!

    I loved my dress and I definitely felt like the most beautiful person in the room on my special day. It was so gorgeous and fit like a glove. The seller was always quick to respond, gave me all the information I needed when I asked questions and was always polite and professional. Worth every penny!

    Literally a Dream Come True - Custom Gown

    Tova was amazing! I met with another very well-reviewed dress-maker before choosing Tova. The other one was pricier and also did not quite seem to understand my vision. Tova just seemed to get what I had in mind and was able to execute it even under my top budget line. I brought in a sketch which was rather small and not coloured in. I described the sort of feel and colours I was going for and showed her some of the photos that had inspired my dress design. Immediately she started asking questions and I could tell by the questions that she was asking that she completely understood the dress that I was picturing. She not only understood my vision, but she then executed it beautifully. My dress was inspired by 18th and 19th century fashion and so is not something you can find in stores. It is also a style that requires a high level of skill. I was very impressed with the final product and so was everyone else! Some favourite quotes include "Your dress is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen," "You literally look like royalty," and my three-year-old neighbour asking her mother in earnest if I was a Disney princess. I wholeheartedly recommend Couture de Bride.

    Would recommend her to anyone!

    Tova is a rockstar! I sent her a picture of my dream dress and it was stunning. I had doubts, as I’d never tried the dress on and had no personal knowledge about Couture De Bride, but Tova was super responsive (usually within hours), and gave me updates, as requested. She sent pictures of my gown prior to shipping, and the photos didn’t do it justice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

    It was amazing!

    I swear this was the best decision I ever made. There was no way I’d be able to buy a black dress. But she made it the dress of my dreams. She made sure to put each and every detailed I envisioned. She was kind, and truly boost my self esteem. Dresses can be tough. But she highlighted the accent areas and helped me hide the ones I was so insecure about. She worked well with me and the finished product was jaw dropping amazing.

    Stress Free Dress

    I went in, I told Tova what I liked about several different dresses and asked if we could make one dress based on that information but in my wedding colors. She made that dress for less than what some people pay for a pre-made one and everyone keeps telling me how amazing it was. Dress shopping doesn’t need to be stressful; because of Tova, I got my dream dress without the hassle.

    Exceptional Dress

    The dress was made to perfection! I sent her my measurements, and when it arrived, no alterations were needed. Packaging was done well to ensure no damage to the dress. She expedited my dress and it was everything I had wanted.

    Best Decision I made

    It is hard to sum up all the talent that Tova and her team possess, along with the professionalism and the dedication to making every bride feel and look their best! Prior to meeting Tova, I went dress shopping and found a gown that was $19,000, waaaaaay out of my budget. But fortunately, I found "Couture de Bride" online and was able to put instant faith in their hands after reviewing former bride reviews. I knew Tova would be able to recreate the bridal gown I had tried on. With just a few images I provided she went to work and I was involved during each major step. A few months later Tova recreated my dream bridal gown plus a reception change skirt. It was even better than I expected! I walked down the aisle feeling and looking better than I had in the original dress. I was so happy and pleased with the results!!!! Tova made me feel beautiful every step of the way. She kept me informed. She dealt with all my questions and alterations, she had excellent input for improvements and this process of my wedding planning was by far the easiest no stress of them all. AND she did it in less time then normally required and at an affordable price. I HIGHLY recommend Couture de Bride to create any gown you find on the rack or dream up in your head. Kudos and Thank you. - From a VERY Happy Bride

    Tova was a pleasure to work with! I was hesitant to order my dress this way, but she was amazing through the whole process. My dress came out beautifully and I wouldn't change a thing on it!
    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

    Tova Marc is an excellent handmade gown designer! She will work with you on designing your dream dress or just make some modifications to a dress you saw but don’t like some small features. I was able to find a dress of my dream on her shop website, fell in love with it and requested to add a color that was missing from the dress, to match my wedding colors, it’s such a perfection! She has exceeded all my expectations with my dress! And she did it in 4 months with a bit extra fee for rush order! Absolutely love Tova and her shop that I’d found through Etsy! I would recommend this lady and her shop for anyone that’s looking for a designer that will make your gown for a reasonable price!

    I had my heart set on a green and gold wedding dress and Tova made that happen. Communication was easy and efficient and she helped me bring a vague idea to life. I received my dress last week and I am absolutely in love. It fits like a glove and is extremely comfortable. The photos below are from her shop, not my own.

    Let me start by saying that I am not your typical, traditional bride. I never dreamt of a white dress. I wanted to wear a beautiful red gown, but you could imagine how impossible that was to find! I came across Tova and learned that she designed custom colored wedding dresses and I knew I had to meet her! From our first meeting she was extremely friendly and personable. She understood my vision and asked me such detailed questions that I would have never thought about to make sure my dress was perfect. She was extremely responsive, which is super important to me! My dress was beyond perfection and I received sooo many compliments! I honestly never felt more beautiful than I did in that dress. If you are looking for something that is personalized to YOU, I highly recommend Tova!

    Tova made me feel beautiful and amazing on my wedding day! It was so enjoyable working with her and she really cared that I was happy! When I was looking into getting a dress everyone told me to tell the seamstresses and designers 2 weeks earlier than my wedding was to make sure it would be ready on time- well I told tova a week early and she had my dress ready 2 weeks before that date!! It was so amazing to be able to not stress about the dress! I would highly reccomend couture de bride and I will also add that I keep looking at my dress so sad that I won’t be able to wear it again! Thank you tova!!

    I can't speak highly enough of Tova and of the experience I had with her. My dress is everything I'd imagined and more. Tova was there for me from the start of the process, answering my worried emails with reassurance and helping me through the whole process (I'm in Australia). Due to a misunderstanding around the colour of the dress (which was not Tova's fault) I originally received a dress which was not the shade of red I had expected. I was going to have to change my colour scheme to match, but Tova wouldn't hear of it and very kindly remade the dress for me in my fantasy colour. This was so moving and so very much appreciated. I was so delighted with the whole experience that my own bride decided to order her dress from Tova's store also - and we are excitedly planning our wedding, with two stunning dresses, later this month. Thank you, Tova, for taking such good care of us, on this most emotional of journeys!

    I went back and fourth for about a month. Every one of my bridesmaids tried to talk me out of ordering a custom wedding dress online. They said it was crazy and I would be disappointed. They where so WRONG. I lied to all my friends and told them I was having my dress made from a local shop. I ordered from wedding dress fanatsy and let me tell you all of them ate their words. This dress was amazing. It was everything I had dreamed of and so much more. She held my hand and walked me thru the entire process and even added a little extra to it when I asked. It was ready on time and arrived earlier than expected. I have no regrets at all about this purchase. The only thing I wish is I could wear this beautiful dress again. I have never ever felt more beautiful than in that dress.

    Love love loved my dress!!! I couldn’t be happier with the style and fit! Tova was able to incorporate different styles into one dress for me! This was very important as I am a graphic designer and design is key! I would tell any bride to go to Couture de Bride for the dress of their dreams!

    Personally, I do not believe 5 stars is enough! Tova Marc is beyond the best! She made the most beautiful dress ever. Being on the plus size side, I have often found it difficult to find someone who can make that dress that fits perfectly. Coupled with this, I simply did not know what I wanted exactly. Tova was so nice and patient with me and I felt so comfortable with her walking me through the various options at my disposal. It was very easy working with her, plus, she delivered on every single detail that I requested. For sure, when your wedding gown is made beautifully, you most certainly will feel beautiful. Thank you, Tova! I was definitely the belle of the ball on my wedding day!
