    You get a Custom, and you get a Custom!

    I don't know that Wedding Wire will give me enough words for me to say all the great things about the team at Vanya Designs.

    I came to Alicia with a very specific vision in mind for my wedding dress. I wanted celestial inspired, I wanted color, and I wanted to throw a nod in for my husband and I's love for Dungeons and Dragons. Alicia took a chop shop of very off the wall ideas and made the most stunning dress. Even in the earliest stages when it was just a slip with fabric layered over to figure out what we wanted I nearly cried because her vision was exactly what I dreamed of.
    Vanya's also custom made my husband's suit, and he's so in love he'll be back anytime he needs a suit because they took such good care of him.
    I'll let the photos speak for themselves on just how amazing the team's work is (Thanks Darrin Hackney)!

    Magical Transformation

    Alicia at Vanya’s Designs took my vision for renovating my mothers wedding dress and made it a reality. The full-on 80’s A-line (complete with poofy sleeves) became an elegant illusion-sleeve mermaid gown that looked like it could’ve been fresh a designers newest line. I got the best of both worlds with Vanya’s designs - the thrill of wearing my dream dress and all the sentiment of wearing my mom’s

    Amazing service at incredibly reasonable prices.

    Vanya altered and customized my David’s Bridal wedding gown so that it really felt like my own. Had I known how reasonable having them custom make a dress would be, I honestly would have done just that. Everything was super affordable, and I even had a custom dusty blue robe made for my getting ready photos. I cannot recommend the ladies at Vanya enough. You will not regret working with them.

    For getting bra cups added to my gown, having a slit added to the dress, having extra bustling added, and a couple other minor things, I paid less than it cost me to have a bridesmaid dress altered at David’s Bridal for a friends wedding.

    Saved our Wedding Day

    I went to Alicia at Vanya Designs two weeks before my wedding with a dress that was completely ruined. In less than 48 hours they had managed to rebuild my dress and add a few extra touches to make it even better than before. If it wasn't for Alicia, I'm not sure what I would have done. She was so sweet and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy. I cannot express how grateful I am to her and her team. I would highly recommend Vanya designs, I could not be happier with them!

    Great place!

    I was very worried about my dress alterations. I work as apparel designer so it was very hard to trust someone else with my dress but she did an incredible job! She listened to what I had to say and did exactly what I wanted! Will definitely use her again for other alterations!

    Alicia raised the neckline on my wedding dress and added straps. She hand beaded the entire addition. She worked with me until it was perfect! I LOVE it!! She made my beautiful dress gorgeous! I couldn't be happier!!

    I’m so glad a friend recommended Vanya Designs...I couldn’t be happier! Jill was amazing and truly listened to everything I wanted/needed. She answered questions and suggested things I didn’t even think about. My wedding dress and reception dress both turned out amazing! They took a great deal of stress off of me and made me feel so at ease. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone!

    Bridgette, thank you for sharing! I will pass this review on and let Jill know what a great job she did :)

    Alicia is AMAZING! I was in a bind when my plans to go to another country to get my dress made was put aside. But I put my faith and trust in Alicia and she went above and beyond! If I could do it again, I would definitely go with Alicia again. She made me feel so involved with the entire process and made sure that everything my mind and heart wanted, she would be able to make it a reality! Again, thank you so much Alicia! You will not be disappointed! Go to Vanya's Designs!

    Here is my Vanya designs wedding dress story...

    This thank you is not only for Alicia at Vanya designs but also for my momma and my new momma in law because they GAVE ME their own wedding dresses for Alicia to create into a dress/romper for me for my wedding. My wedding dress wouldn’t have meant so much to me without them. The romper part was made from my momma Tina’s dress and the skirt and veil were from momma Jeane’s dress. It was all made possible because of Alicia and her wonderful abilities at Vanya Designs. It truly is and will be one of my favorite pieces I wear because it means so much but also because Alicia put so much passion into doing it for me. She was just as excited as I was and was completely and absolutely a dream to work with. Even when I didn’t feel confident and beautiful in myself she reminded me that we’re all beautiful and different and that she was there to help make sure I saw it in myself. If you ever need anything, she’s a little drive away but she’s worth every single mile and penny!

    Within the first five minutes of our design meeting after seeing the dress she drew up EXACTLY what I wanted. The veil was an after thought we brought to the second to last fitting but she had it done and ready by the last fitting and I couldn’t have asked for anything more beautiful or meaningful. She made something beautiful while keeping the integrity of both the dresses. She made them come together seamlessly. Absolutely perfect. I got so many compliments. I was not disappointed.

    Below are pictures of me in my dress and my mommas in their dress on their wedding days...

    Kimmie! Thank you for sharing your story. It truly meant so much to me to be able to help you realize your vision! Stunning, simply stunning photos!

    Vanya not only did an amazing job hemming my dress, but also did a great job on all my groomsmen, ushers and husband’s tuxes!! She went above and beyond and ordered extras just to make sure we were covered on the big day. She also was available the day before and if my wedding! I would recommend everyone to come here if needing anything done, especially for your big day! Thank you again for everything!

    The team at Vanya designs is wonderful! They are so great to work with and make every meeting a pleasant interaction. Alicia did a wonderful job on my wedding dress alterations and designed and made the most beautiful dress for my mom! My mom is a different shape and had the hardest time finding a dress, we went into see Alicia and she was able to make her dream dress come to life and my mom could not have looked more beautiful on our big day!
    Thank you again! I would highly recommend Vanya designs!

    I looked everywhere and I couldn’t find my dream dress. I got exactly what I wanted here. I couldn’t ask for more. I was in the middle of a cross country move and they worked around my schedule.

    Alicia is AMAZING! My dress was beyond perfect and absolutely stunning. She literally created the dress of my dreams. Her staff is a group of truly wonderful people, her place of business is adorable, and I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered a more professional place of business. Thank you to everyone at Vanya!

    The whole process from start to finish was so easy and enjoyable. It was really fun to work with Alicia and she really does listen to what you want and need. She listens to what you don’t like and your concerns. She is so nice and reasonable on everything she creates. And you can tell she takes her time and she puts herself into every piece that she is working on. It really is an art for her and you can feel her excitement in it. I would go back again and again for anything like this I would need. I would also tell everyone I know that needs a wedding dress or party dress of any kind this is the place to go for sure. Get what you want, what you have dreamed of. You can create that dream with Alicia and have that dress of your dreams!!!

    Alicia crafted a fantastical red wedding dress for me and it is stunning. She worked with me on the design and execution and made sure every detail was perfect. She had made a dream into reality. A while back she had made me a custom bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding party, and I knew, years before even my proposal, that she would be the one to make my wedding dress. My now-husband was also able to rent a tux and shoes through her and she was more than accommodating. Alicia and her team are a gem in the wedding dress hunt, especially for those who can't find THE dress or anyone who wants something special made just for them for their special occasion. Her dresses are pieces of art and I will have these two masterpieces for my lifetime.

    Thank you Dalian! You were so stunning in your dress!!! We can't wait to see wedding pictures.
