    Mother of the groom dress alteration

    Abbey did an amazing job altering my dress for my sons wedding. She is a talented seamstress and it’s a lost art. So thankful I was able to work with her. I highly recommend her!

    Mother of the groom dress alteration

    Abby did the alterations on a dress that I had bought for my son's wedding, which was too long. She explained to me what she thought would be the best way to hem the dress, so that it would look flattering with the design of the dress. I had a great experience working with Abby. She made me feel at ease with the decision I made in buying the dress. Abby also was responsive to text messages in a timely manner, even with her very busy schedule. Her work is impeccable, and she's a pleasure to work with.

    Couldn’t have envisioned a better dress!

    Abbey is one of a kind! A coworker of mine recommended her to me when I was saying I wanted to get my late mother’s wedding dress redesigned. From the moment I met her I knew I was in good hands. Not only did we click like old friends, but I could see from her shop that she already had the vision of the path I wanted to take. We had a few appointments as she progressed with the design and every time I became more and more excited for the final product. She was able to perfectly execute the idea I had for the dress. She even hand delivered the dress to my house when she was finished…all the way to Denver! Best service around.

    I am still so in love with the dress even after the wedding. Now I have a daughter of my own and hope that if she ever decides to get married that she’ll want to incorporate this dress into what she wears too. Thank you so much, Abbey!!

    Fun, funky, flexible

    Here's someone with amazing technical skills, design vision, and an opinion—ready to lend honest advice and make you look good. (Did I know I wanted to the dress to "give me a butt"? No. Did I like it? Of course!)

    Ever Grateful

    I came to Abi to put a bustle on my wedding gown. The lady who originally did my alterations did not hear my request for one (or simply wasn't listening). It had been a long road with this lady and I was ready to be done dealing with her, so I decided to bring my dress to someone who I had heard good things about. Upon examining my dress in preparation for the bustle, Abi found that my dress was not hemmed properly, nor did it fit my bust and arms the way it should. With my wedding only a month away, Abi promptly fixed the mistakes made with great precision and efficiency. I'm ever thankful for and the work she put in to ensure that my dress fit me perfectly for the most perfect of occasions. 10/10 would recommend in a heart beat.

    Bridesmaid Dress

    I recently had a bridesmaid dress altered, and Abbey was fantastic to work with! She did a wonderful job with the alterations and was very easy to communicate with. The wedding was great, and so was the dress!!

    Amazing, helpful, and very relaxing!!

    Abbey is a miracle worker!!!! I bought a sample dress that was worth the money but was way to big for me. But she saw my vision and made it happen. And then at the last minute when I need help with my vail she did not hesitate to help me out!!!!! It was also a relief to find someone that really knew what they were doing without having to drive to Denver every week!!!!

    Abbey is the bomb.com!

    Abbey’s thoughtfulness, skill, attention to detail, and sweet, supportive nature is just what every bride needs to feel joyful and beautiful on her wedding day! Abbey did a fantastic job customizing the neckline and low back on my gown, in addition to altering the hemline.

    Abbey is such a bright light. She welcomes everyone who walks in to her shop with open arms and an open heart! She was so accommodating with my tight schedule and ensured that my bridesmaids dress fit perfectly. She was genuinely interested in getting to know me and not just in completing the alterations. By the time she was done, we felt like old friends. GO SEE ABBEY!

    For a 55 + bride, I'm not sure I could have wished for a better partner in Abbey! We worked very closely together over 13 months from Denver and the mountains, on hours of conference calls, through mountains of emails, revisions, pictures, plans, and options and Abbey remained, calming, classy, professional and very accommodating. Especially with 5 adult kids and 1 precocious Australian Shepherd involved :-) Abbey had a terrific sense of humor but could get down to business as well! What I appreciated most was that for the artistic style and small details of the event (flowers, lighting, decor, bridal party, entertainment, crew organization..) I could totally rely upon her skill and opinion and it was WELL worth the wait! Our guests still rave but for us, it was exactly what we imagined. An overwhelmingly special, touching event to blend our family at a memorable, gorgeous and really FUN event! Abbey, I miss you more than you realize and hope that you offer my referral information to any bride and groom. Love, Tory & Fritz

    Her husband was the officiant for my dad's wedding. It was on top of a mountain in the freezing cold. He did a wonderful job! He was professional and on time. He never complained about the cold and took wonderful pictures of as well, with his own camera. If you use Abby's services you should consider using him as well to marry you! They seem like one of the most genuine couples you could meet. They will only add to the joy of your big day!

    I am so thankful that I was able to work with Abbey to complete some alterations on my wedding dress. I had ordered the dress to my personal measurements, but there were some obvious fit and construction issues that had me concerned. I was able to make an appointment with Abbey very quickly, and she had a great eye for how to make the dress fit comfortably while also flattering my body. I felt confident letting her take charge, though she did go over everything she would be doing to my dress with me beforehand. She was very thoughtful and always making sure I felt we were headed in the direction I had envisioned. In the end, the dress fit perfectly, thanks to her talent and hard work. I got so many compliments and I felt amazing wearing my dress-I only wish I could have worn it longer! I would highly recommend Abbey for any and all of your wedding wardrobe needs!

    Abbey is amazing. Planning a wedding is very stressful, especially picking a wedding dress. Abbey gives me great advice, it feels like I've known her for years. I know she's going to make me look beautiful on my wedding day.

    Abbey is absolutely incredible. Her alterations to my dress were incredible. She also provided hand made benches for our wedding site that were stunning. I had several guests comment on the quality of the benches and ask were we found them. They were set up and taken down without a hitch! Truly top notch service. I would recommend Lavender Elephant to anyone!

    Abby was very professional, personable, and she made my dress fit perfect! My wedding date was quickly approaching and I contacted Abby to do alterations. She let me know with confidence that she would be able to alter my dress and make it fit my curvy body perfectly. She has style, creativity and knowledge of all material and clothing. I felt beautiful on my special day, without stress thanks to Abby and Carrie at Lavender Elephant!
    Thank you ladies!!

    Abbey made my Mom's old dress into something spectacular. It means so much to be able to wear my Mom's dress at our rehearsal dinner. I told Abbey I trusted her creative judgement and the dress turned out beautifully!

    She also did alternations to my wedding dress and they turned so well!

    Abbey was my wedding planner from start to finish for our wedding on Copper Mountain, CO. We were originally going to get married in the Virgin Islands, but a series of events led us to change our minds and choose Colorado barely only 4 months before our wedding date. My friend that lives in Winter Park, CO recommended Abbey, and from day one she took off with a calm, cool, collected demeanor and creativity that I loved! Every time I was on the ledge, freaking out about the tiniest detail, Abbey was there to talk me down and assume responsibility for things that I found too overwhelming. I am NOT a party planner, but Abbey is a great one. From realizing my dreams and helping make sure I had the right flowers, greenery, podiums, candles, etc. Abbey really shined and worked so hard on our wedding day that I didn't even worry about a single thing. People kept complimenting us on all kinds of things in the wedding, one of which was how smoothly the day went and how beautiful the decor and scenery was. I am very happy I got to be Abbey's first wedding from start to finish, and you would have never known she was newer to planning because she really pulled it off! I loved working with you Abbey! Thank you for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives so far!

    Abbey at Lavender Elephant is absolutely amazing. It was just a few days before my wedding and I did not have centerpieces or some other aspects of the planning finished. I gave her my vision and she ran with it. She created the most beautiful decor and centerpieces I have ever seen at a wedding-- LAST MINUTE! She was calm (as I was freaking out), communicative, incredibly kind, and literally a miracle worker. Abbey is SO great because she can do everything 'wedding'. It was nice to have a one-stop-shop and question gal. She made sure I was set to go in all other aspects of the wedding, thought of important things I had not thought of, and made my vision come to life, but better than I could have envisioned. I am so incredibly thankful for her gorgeous work and can not recommend her enough!
