Thanks A.Cherie for a fantastic experience in getting my MOB dress altered. scheduling my appointment and meeting with Karen went seamlessly. My dress looked and fit perfectly. Thank you for your professionalism and ensuring my dress was ready for my daughter’s wedding day.
Oh my GOD. Ashley and her team absolutely CRUSHED my custom veil. It was honestly the star of the show- which is exactly what I wanted! I had a tall order...I was going for a "vintage glam" vibe that went with my dress, had lace and beading, and was cathedral length. Not only did she accomplish everything I was looking for, she exceeded my expectations. I can't tell you how many people told me it was the most insanely beautiful veil they had ever seen. So much talent, skill, and craftsmanship went into making this. There really aren't words to describe how breathtaking this veil was so I have included photos!
Absolutely wonderful! Ashley and Karen are a great team and were able to make the perfect dress for my wedding after having no luck in stores. The quality of their work is phenomenal from the fabrics to the beading to the bustle. You can tell how passionate and caring they are about their work and customers. If you are wavering, go for it! Their quality is unmatched by the stores and they will perfectly capture your vision.
There really are no words to describe how incredible Ashley and her team are! From start to finish, they made the rather challenging issue of dress shopping so easy! I had only been to 4 bridal salons, and 3/4 were just not so great experiences and I was so over dress shopping! Ashley changed all of that in the matter of a phone call!
My dress was absolutely PERFECT! It looked better than I ever could have imagined, fit like a dream (absolutely no alterations needed, but for a bustle -- that's it!), heavy in the best way possible, and was impeccably designed! When I brought my dress to have a bustle added, my seamstress could not believe at how beautifully the dress was designed! She kept saying how they didn't cut a single corner and asked me to send her Ashley's information immediately!
I received so many compliments on my dress! As I was walking on a main street, a stylist saw me in my dress and just gasped saying it was absolutely beautiful!
To Ashley and team, thank you so much for everything! There are not enough words to express every bit of gratitude I have for you! Thank you for making a difficult process seem so easy and for being in touch the entire time! If you're on the fence about going custom, please don't worry with A Cherie! They are incredible! From the bottom of my bottomless heart, thank you Ashley!
There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for Ashley and Karen! The ultimate trustworthy and talented team. They are committed to making every dress so unbelieveably special for each of their brides. I was so indecisive, yet extremely particular about my dress, and Ashley was SO patient, knowledgeable and determined to make my vision come to life. My wedding dress and veil were an absolute dream. Just when I thought my experience couldn't get any better, Ashley and Karen took on the last minute task of creating a stunning suit for my rehearsal dinner. These woman are amazing!!!!
The process of designing my dress was very smooth and easy. I found a few inspiration photos, and Ashley and her team listened and suggested several options from their expertise point of view. Right when I met with Ashley, she did a sketch and handed out to me. The next time, she had already lots of ideas and research for my perf3ct wedding dress.
The team delivered on time, and the experience was amazing.
If you’re looking for a custom wedding dress, I absolutely recommend giving A.Cherie a call. They made each step of the process fun and exciting. The quality of their work was top notch, I could not of imagined my dress turning out more flawless. They were very easy to reach and communicate with, and let you know exactly what to expect from start to finish! When my dress was finished they made sure I knew how to handle and care for it after taking it home and before our wedding which helped a lot because I wasn’t sure, and they sent me home with a very nice suitcase type dress bag to store it in. I received endless compliments on my dress and the stunning job that they did. Definitely exceeded my expectations and I will recommend any friends or family that ask me about it!
They did an excellent job altering my dress to where it fit my style best! Highly recommend
I found A.Cerie Couture on Etsy, and was hesitant at first to buy from a designer I found online. HOWEVER, it became clear pretty quickly that Ashley and her team at A.Cherie are not only legitimate but excellent at what they do! She made it super easy to communicate my ideas for my dress, and gave me incremental updates on the dress design and construction process. Even with the delays on beading handwork labor, she webt above and beyond to get my dress to me (across several states) ON TIME, and upon receipt of the dress, everything was perfect. There was no need for additional alterations, everything was precisely to my specifications and it looked better than I could have ever imagined. I felt like royalty walking down the isle in my dress!! I highly recommend working with Ashley and the A.Cherie Couture team.
I bought my dress in 2019 for my April 2020 wedding, which got canceled due to Covid. We finally rescheduled to June 2022 but I was devastated when I tried on the dress and it didn't fit, was damaged and was just not what I wanted anymore. What Karen did to my dress was pure magic. She turned into the dress of my dreams and made me fall in love with it all over again.
Ashley and her team made the process of it so effortless and very fun to do! She took elements that I loved about several inspiration dresses and we created the perfect dress! I always knew I was going to go custom being that the options for a plus size bride can not only be limited, but often times not supportive enough. Let me emphasize that I’m so glad to have gone with A.Cherie Couture! They took into consideration every detail and made sure that everything fit the way I wanted it and the way it should answering any and all questions and concerns I had.
To any and all future brides that may be looking into getting their dream wedding dress, DO NOT HESITATE to get it done with A.Cherie Couture. The detailed service is unlike any I’ve ever received and probably ever will! When I tell you that my husband cried when he saw me in my dress and teared up again when we received our photos, all he could say was how beautiful I looked in my dress. Trust me when I say, that there’s a reason why you can’t find THE dress at any store, and that’s because it’s waiting for you to create it!
Ashley and Karen were absolutely perfect in creating my daughters quinceanera dress. I know their main focus is wedding but when we were researching for custom dress makers last year we found A.Cherie Couture. The dress planning and creation process was easy. Ashley was so professional and informational in working with my daughter and I. Karen and Ashley are a tag team. They made my daughters dream dress come alive. Thank you.
Ashley and Karen were absolutely amazing to work with! They are truly a dream team. Both super talented women that are the best at what they do. The customization process was a really cool experience, being able to watch the dress come to life from concept sketches to the final fitting. Ashley was fast to respond to any questions I had and made me feel like I was in the best hands. Finding a wedding dress can be stressful, but I had a blast working with Ashley and Karen.
Thank goodness for this company and their AMAZING staff. They completely saved my wedding dress that was messed up & made it 100X better, they exceeded my expectations. Their communication, pricing & timing helped ease my stress as my wedding was quickly approaching. I will continue to recommend these sweet & genuine women forever!
Ashley and her team created the most amazing, personalized dress for my wedding day. They are brilliant, insightful, intuitive, and caring. Ashley took my vague ideas about what I wanted out of a wedding dress and turned it into a reality. I was integrated into every step of the process, from the initial consultation to selecting fabric to the final fittings. Ashley always made herself available for any questions or concerns that I had. My wedding dress is a dream and I'll treasure this experience forever. Thank you A'Cherie Couture!
When I got engaged, I knew in my mind I wanted a custom wedding dress. I didn’t know what I wanted, but I knew I wanted something unique and something no one has seen before. White dresses are not for me at all; however, I couldn’t get a black wedding dress either (long story), but I knew at the very least I wanted a celestial themed dress. I spent months searching for fabrics to narrow down my ideas and choices before I met Ashley, and even then, I still had no idea what I wanted. I reached out to Ashley and her team, sent her the photos, told her the silhouette I was considering, and honestly, I walked in like a chaotic indecisive maniac. Ashley was so patient throughout the consultation, and I knew that after my first phone call with her that I wanted her to design my dress. She gave me some bits of advice to help me narrow down my choices further and it helped clear up a lot of discrepancies I had. The fabric choice I made was interesting to say the least, I chose a gradient fabric, but the pattern made things a bit tricky especially when it came to the technical drawing. But Ashley and her team truly made it work and got the drawing down to a T. Once I saw the rendering, I gave the greenlight and patiently waited for the dress to come to life. To be very honest, this process was extremely difficult for me because I usually consult with my husband about just about everything. Designing this dress alone was difficult, but with Ashley’s professionalism and confidence, it helped make things go so much more smoothly. I was so nervous about how the dress would come out, not because I was doubting her team’s skills in any way, I just knew that the fabric choice I made was a bit complicated and I personally had a very hard time visualizing the dress even with the drawing. But I knew that Ashley and her team would absolutely nail the dress so that kept me at ease. The big day came when I went in for my first fitting, when I saw it, I was speechless! I’m not very great at expressing myself, but I was VERY excited and overjoyed when I got to wear the dress for the first time. The dress came out SO much better than I ever could have anticipated, and it put me at ease knowing how it finally looked in person. Ashley truly can make your ideas come to life in the most beautiful and elegant way possible. Honestly, I’d love to have her make any and all of my dresses in the future. I never had a dream wedding dress; however, this dress was a dream. My husband said it was so much more beautiful than anything he ever could’ve imagined. He described it as ethereal, and honestly, I felt like a celestial goddess. I was worried I wouldn’t look good in my own dress (and your wedding dress is all about making you feel like a queen), but the moment I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt so beautiful and confident! And I never told Ashley this, but my dress has some hidden meanings to it. The way she and her team created the dress truly tied it all together so much better than I ever could’ve imagined or explained. The hard work love, and efforts that were put in my dress did not go in vain, I can’t thank them enough. I wish I could do more to express my gratitude to Ashley and her team. If you’re wanting a custom gown (or even an alteration to one you have), PLEASE work with A.Cherie. They work so hard and put so much love into every stitch and seam. Thank you SO much to the A.Cherie team! Truly and sincerely, y’all helped make a wedding dress of dreams.
I've never enjoyed trying on clothes in front of other people so the thought of modeling wedding dresses gave me a lot of anxiety. Never had I considered a custom made dress until I found A.Cherie on Instagram. Ashley's work is 2nd to none. She is a master of her craft. Her entire team are by far the best at what they do. The amount of detail they put into designing and creating dresses is impeccable! To say they are talented doesn't nearly give them the credit they deserve. Even though Ashley encouraged me to try on different styles of dresses to find what I felt the most comfortable in, I never did. I was so confident in her abilities I knew I didn't need to try a single dress on. And, I won't ever regret my decision because from our very 1st conversation, she just got my vision. She understood me completely and you can't find that type of support from just anyone. It was as though she could see my thoughts. You won't find a better group than this one! They will forever hold a special place in my heart because they created the dress of my dreams. They are the best in the industry- hands down!
My experience was A.Cherie was phenomenal from start to finish! I was referred to these lovely ladies off a bridal FB page and all it took was an initial inquiry via email and BOOM Ashely was on top of it! she responded promptly and was so friendly, her personality really shines through. My alternations were done by Karen who was equally amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my fittings with her, she is so fun & bubbly. I love how passionate Karen is about her work. At my final fitting I was absolutely stunned, my dress hugged my body perfectly and Karen gave me a shape! I don't how she does it so seamlessly. I also brought in my children to have their JR Bridesmaid dresses' hemmed and they were ecstatic! they loved the attention they received and felt like princesses during their fitting. Thank you both for giving me not only a perfectly fitted dress but for giving me such peace in the process.
Just book them! Karen and Ashley were so amazing during the alterations process. Karen was able to ease all of my concerns with bustling my dress as well as adding additional appliqués to turn my rather risqué plunging neckline into a more modest neckline. Karen also created amazing removable straps to my dress for change the look of my dress from ceremony to reception. I am so glad I booked A.Cherie for my wedding dress alterations!
I got my alterations done here with Karen and cannot recommend her and A.Cherie enough! Karen was so helpful and knowledgeable with my dress. She did an incredible job with the alterations. Ashley was also extremely helpful! They truly want to make sure you are 100% happy with everything and will go out of their way to help you! I loved working with them and they put my mind at ease with alterations!
This was the most perfect experience! Karen and Ashley really want the best for you. They are diligent in their work and pay attention to every detail. They go over and beyond to creating your dream dress. Don’t think twice and go see them, you won’t regret it (:
The ladies did alterations on my dress and did a fantastic job! The bustle allowed me to move freely during the reception, but still showed off my favorite feature of the back buttons. They also used a piece of my mom's veil and beaded crown to create a special veil just for me.
Added bonus how kind and sweet they are!
We're amazing at creating my dream wedding dress down to every little detail. They were amazing with communication, confirming details, reliability, speed, and just everything about the process was amazing!!
I tried on dresses off the rack. They just didn’t feel like “me”. I found Ashley on Etsy looking for another alternative. Let me tell you: A.Cherie Couture made my DREAM DRESS a reality!! Never before did I think a fully custom gown would be an option for my wedding day without seriously blowing my budget... Ashley and her team proved me wrong!! I got to be part of my dress coming to life from start to finish— from design to lace selection , and final touches. AND—the price was within my budget. I NEVER FELT SO BEAUTIFUL!! I told her I wanted Old Hollywood Glam, and Ashley and her team delivered!! I didn’t sacrifice comfort or style ... it was absolutely perfect!! The experience was so special, I will treasure it for a lifetime!!
The veil that Ashley at A.Cherie Couture created for me was absolutely breathtaking! I was unable to find lace to match my dress anywhere locally and had a very difficult time doing so online as well, but Ashley knocked it out of the park! I was hesitant to order my veil online since I wouldn't be able to try it on prior to purchasing and didn't know what to expect, but Ashley took every measurement and every detail and created my dream veil! I have absolutely nothing but positive feedback about my experience with A.Cherie Couture. Thank you, Ashley!!!
It was a pleasure to work with the team at A.Cherie Couture! I found them searching for bridal alterations. Karen, the alterations specialist, is so sweet and a master of her craft. She was down to earth and fun to work with. Her excitement for the evolving details of whatever the project at hand is contagious! A.Cherie assisted in hemming my dress and then utilizing the extra lace to make sleeves and a covid mask. They also created a custom veil to match my gown! I preferred to support local business and craftswomen instead of buying from a big box store like David’s Bridal. Their quality of work is superior and for a reasonable price. Communication was always prompt. I also had them “update” a vintage sequined cocktail dress to wear for my Grand Exit. Everything turned out superb! I can only imagine the sky’s the limit with their custom dresses! I would highly recommend A.Cherie Couture to assist you in fulfilling your bridal dreams!
I had my dress altered here (fit PERFECTLY) and I also added a collar/high neck to my dress, as it was always something I wanted and I found the most gorgeous lace dress, but it didn't have the neck I wanted. A.Cherie gave me the most beautiful high neck! It was everything I wanted. She came highly recommended to me from another bride, and I highly recommend to anyone considering!
I am so lucky that I have found Ashley Asheri!! Her talent is above and beyond anyone’s expectations. I picked a style that I loved and thought it suits my body, but then I realized I needed sth else. When you think you know your style but you really don’t... That was my situation. Ashley is a great example of patience and creativity!! She made my DREAM DRESS happen! It didn’t end there. Thanks to Covid, I had to pick a mask for my mom. Ashley made such a nice mask for my mother and she put pieces of my dress on it. Everybody was amazed with such a beautiful mask!!! Then I needed a collar for my dog and she aced it again! Do NOT waste your time anywhere else. Ashley has a solution to every possible problem that you may encounter with your wedding outfit.THANK YOU ASHLEY !!! 🤍🤍🤍
JUST DO IT.
I know the dress anxiety may be settling in... "I'm never gonna have the say yes moment" or "I'm not gonna be able to try it on first"... I get it. That was me too, but trust me, all the other brides, & Ashley & Karen! It's all worth it in the end. TRULY, YOUR.DREAM.DRESS.
I first contacted Ashley about a year n half in advance to my wedding date after I saw an Instagram posting about a custom dress. At this point in the wedding planning I had already tried on a couple dresses & nothing seemed right. Every dress was lacking something & none of them felt like me. I decided to give her a call & ask some questions, get clarification, told her my reservations, & she gave me some advice too! Like, try on some dress styles & see what I like & what was flattering (this really helps in the designing process). After our first Conversation I went ahead and scheduled another two wedding dress appointments at different boutiques to see if I could find anything I liked off the rack or for some more dress inspo. Again, nothing was doing it for me. Sooooo, I called Ashley back to setup a consultation.
We met, Ashley did her magic & drew up a beautiful mock of a couple of dresses I liked all together. I was scared, but in love. After some real thoughtful consideration, self talks about trusting the process & a couple Hail Marys I told Ashley I was in. This was honestly one of the best decisions I made in regard to my wedding. Ashley was super communicative during the process (& even after), was always available when I was stressing out about how my dress was gonna look & just wanted some reassurance (especially during 2020), & was very thorough when it came to the logistics of my dress.
Come the day you get your big reveal you're not gonna know how to act. I screamed, haha. My dress made me feel the most confident I have ever felt in a dress & it truly reflected every thing I wanted for my wedding dress. Thank you, Ashley & Karen. Y'all rock!
I will conclude my review as I started it... JUST DO IT.
Ashley was amazing! She spent the time to get to know what I wanted, the areas I wanted to deemphasize and where I wanted to accentuate. She gave me great advice on the types of gowns to try on and things to look for in my vision for my gown. In the end, I had a gorgeous dress that I'm still obsessed with!
I cannot say enough about Ashley, her professionalism and dedication to putting the customer first. She gave me my dream wedding dress and I felt like Cinderella the day of my wedding. I first contacted Ashley and gave her three different dresses I liked. I also described a dream my fiancé had and the dress he saw me wearing. I wanted to surprise him and base my wedding dress off of his dream. YALL ASHLEY BROUGHT THE DREAM TO LIFE!! it was absolutely everything and more. Everyone is still asking me about my dress and it’s all they could talk about. Most of all my now husband cried like a baby the moment he saw it lol. He cannot stop telling me how beautiful the dress was.
Through the whole process Ashley stayed in contact with me. Whenever I called or emailed she responded very quickly and answered all questions. I recommend her to any bride! And Ashley I can’t thank you enough! You have a special place in my heart FOREVER! ❤️
I found A.Cherie Couture on The Knot after searching for designers in Texas who could create a custom wedding dress for me. After seeing pictures of Ashley's work online, I immediately knew that I wanted to work with her to create my dream wedding dress. From start to finish, Ashley made the process so easy and so fun. I went back and forth a lot on the design for my dress, but Ashley had amazing suggestions and ideas that helped me decide on what I wanted. From drawing a sketch of the dress, to creating a digital rendering of it, picking out fabrics and colors, and even making big adjustments to the design quite late in the game, Ashley was incredible to work with. She was extremely flexible in booking appointments for fittings, and worked around my schedule. The dress Ashley made for me was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. She knew exactly what I wanted, and executed perfectly. I felt like a princess in my dress! I cannot recommend A.Cherie Couture enough to anyone looking to have a custom dress for their big day. Both Ashley and Karen were to amazing to work with, and I can't wait to work with them again in the future for any more custom creations! Thank you for everything, Ashley!!
I had an amazing experience with A.Cherie Couture! They worked with me and my schedule during the crazy COVID times, providing nothing but excellent service. You will not be disappointed in their quality of work!
Ashley was soooo easy to work with! She listened to my vision of what style of dress I wanted. She then provided different options for fabric and sketches of design that we consulted on. She kept me informed, and asked questions for me to decide on, every step of the way. We had multiple fittings, and she made a few changes for me per my request. She was personable, professional and an overall pleasure to work with. The final project, my wedding dress, was everything that I dreamed of and more! I could not be happier with the dress, or how beautiful it made me look on my wedding day! Thank you, Ashley! You made my dreams come true!!! ♥️
What to say about A. Cherie? EVERYTHING WAS FABULOUS! That’s what I have to say. I was having trouble finding my dream dress. I wanted a specific high-low style and everywhere I went I would have to buy a dress and pray the alterations would’ve come out the way I wanted them to. I was feeling frustrated and discouraged. My sister had a client who referred use to Ashley and OMG I am so glad I found her! My whole experience with A. Cherie was amazing! Ashley calmed my fears of uneasiness. She answered all my numerous questions and emails. I was so hesitant but when I finally saw my dress I was IN LOVE! My dream dress had come to life! There are not enough words or thank you’s in the world to express my gratitude to Ashley! If I ever need another custom dress I know who I am going to! Thank you so much A. Cherie for everything! You made my wedding dress make me feel like the most beautiful bride ever!
I knew Ashley in high school and I always dreamed she would be a part of my wedding dress. At my first fitting for alterations, I felt deflated as I was having serious doubts on the dress I had bought. Ashley and Karen were more than amazing and helped me to re-create the dress I had always dreamed of being in. It's been two days since my wedding and I wish I could wear it all over again. I felt so comfortable and happy in my dress. My husband loved it as well and I received so many complients.
The whole A. Cherie team is a dream to work with.
Don't think twice, book your appointment with them now. You won't be disappointed.
Ashley was a LIFESAVER when my original dress was cancelled due to COVID. She was awesome to work with and made a dream dress! I was worried to order a dress online, but am so glad I did! I highly recommend working with A. Cherie!
A. Cherie came in clutch! What fabulous ladies that do fabulous work!
Being a Covid bride was hard enough- being an indecisive one- meant I purchased another dress two weeks before my wedding date. I’m a novice seamstress but when it came to the bustle I needed help! Two days before my wedding my photographer recommended these wonderful ladies and they rushed my dress and even helped me put some finishing touches on my sleeves and bust. The bustle was more beautiful that I could have imagined! Beautifully amazing work! ♥️
10, 10, 10, 10 STARS!!!!
Where to begin! I found A.Cherie on instagram and had a former friend use them. I bought a dress off the rack and read so many good reviews on A.Cherie, I decided to bring my dress for bridal alterations to them. THEY ARE TRULY EXPERTS AND THE BEST IN THEIR FIELD!
After taking my dress to another shop, I just did not feel comfortable with the other shop altering my dress. Ashley and her alteration specialist she had at the fitting knew exactly what to do and make me look like a million bucks! My dress needed extensive and quite complicated alterations that other shops even turned me down and said it would never be ready time; enter Ashley and Karen and the rest of the A.Cherie crew.
Having my alterations done with A.Cherie was one of the best decisions! If I could go back in time, I would of chose them to create a custom dress for me instead because by the time you pay for the dress off the rack and then alterations on top of it, You could of had a custom dress for the same price and something even more unique and beautiful!
If you are a bride to be, I suggest you look into getting a quote on a custom design before buying off the rack like I did. I am VERY happy that the dress fits me like a glove now and they were able to make the changes I asked for, But a part of me wishes I may still have gone custom to see what they could create because everything I have seen from them has been jaw dropping.
Search no further and take your bridal alterations to A.Cherie Couture! You won't be sorry and will be treated with professionalism and you will feel relieved. I knew my dress was in good hands. Thank you!
I cannot sing enough praises about Ashley and A. Cherie Couture. Though I wish I could share photos of my amazing dress, my wedding was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid19 and won't be until next year. Even during all this Covid mess, Ashley was on schedule which is amazing in general but especially during a worldwide pandemic. I had tried on a bunch of dresses and I have always known that I wanted my dress custom made especially because I wanted a blue wedding dress. Those just don't exist in the wild. I had originally found a company called Anomolie that makes custom dresses but I quickly discovered their color index was not very large. The blue fabric they sent me was the only shade of blue they had and it looked like white that was sorta blue in the light. No thank you. After searching Google again, I found Ashley. Thank. You. Lord. First off, she lives in Texas and her and her wonderful team of badasses makes everything right here in the good ole US of A. Anomolie makes all their dresses in China. Just in case you needed another reason to support this wonderful woman. So, found Ashley, got to talk directly with Ashley and tell her everything I dreamed of, what I like in the dresses I tried on, what I hated, etc. She sent me photos of fabrics, we worked together sourcing my lace, she found me the PERFECT shade of blue that's LEGIT BLUE, and she sends you a custom drawing you get to keep and stare at endlessly until your dress shows up! The whole process is fun and rewarding, Ashley is very communicative and detail oriented. I could go on and on. She also custom made a cape veil for me that I want to wear every day for the rest of my life. The price of having a absolutely stunning, gigantic princess dress and cape veil made all for less than I would've spent in a bridal shop. No one else on this planet will ever have my dress. It is purely mine and I cannot thank Ashley enough for that. Even if you're not a weirdo bride like me who has to break convention, making your dress with Ashley will be 100% worth it. You only get to wear your wedding dress once (unless you're bored and want to play dress up) so getting the opportunity to design it and feel as though it is truly your's is something that adds to the beauty of your wedding day. I would give her more stars if possible.
Ashley was amazing to work with. She was able to design my dream dress and it fit perfectly. When looking for dresses at bridal stores I was very underwhelmed with what I tried on. Partly because I was still losing some weight after the birth of my son, and also because I just didn't love any of the dresses. I remember thinking, well I guess I'll just love my headpiece and not worry about the dress. How sad. Luckily I came across Ashley's design on Pinterest and contacted her. My dress was everything I wanted and more. She was easy to work with and the communication was great the whole process.
Ashley at A. Cherie is truly an artist when it comes to designing wedding dresses. I love meeting people who have a passion for what they do; their talent shows in their work. Initially, I wasn’t wanting to spend too much on a wedding dress, so I went to buy one off the rack... I wasn’t finding what I wanted and when I found one that was close to what I wanted, it was going to cost double to make custom alterations. I remembered my future sister in law had her wedding dress custom made and she looked amazing. She had nothing but great things to say about Ashley, so I set up an appointment. From the beginning, Ashley was attentive and gave helpful suggestions. She was always punctual and flexible with appointments. I never felt rushed. She was up front about cost and lead times. She listened to all my concerns and ideas. My dress was so beautiful. I received so many compliments on how classic my dress looked and how timeless the style was. I’ve already had it professionally cleaned and boxed. This dress is definitely an heirloom that I will hand down to my daughter and maybe even a granddaughter! Thank you Ashley!
During this pandemic I was so sad my big day had to change so dramatically. Fortunately, I was still able to wear my gown for a virtual wedding. It made me feel like a queen and gold sequins and all, it was a sight to behold even on zoom.
A. Cherie designed the most incredible dress for my wedding day. I had a particular vision and Ashley helped me to bring it to life. She walked me through every step of the process despite being across the country. We exchanged phone calls, emails, pictures, samples, and videos to ensure that it was exactly the way I wanted. I had a local seamstress take my measurements and was pleasantly surprised to see how well the mock dress fit me when it came in. It is a long process and took over a year due to her long list of clients, but it was worth the wait. I had some minor alterations to the straps after receiving the dress, which was a last minute decision. My seamstress could not believe how well made the dress was. She even took Ashley's card to refer clients for custom gowns. I received so many compliments and most importantly, it was everything I dreamed it would be and more. Thank you A. Cherie!
I never felt prettier in my life than I did walking down the aisle, during the ceremony, in pictures and during the reception than I did wearing my dress made by ACherie. Everything was very professionally done; appts were on-time, she filled me in on the progress of my dress often, showed me the beading samples,etc. Couldn’t recommend this bridal couture dress maker more!!!
My dress was exactly the dress I wanted. I looked in the bridal shops, but nothing was what I had imagined. I wasn’t interested in some of the trends that didn’t match my body type or my personality and when I described what I wanted to Ashely, she got it perfectly right! The dress looked just like the mock up, we picked the fabrics, and with her detailed measurements it was a perfect fit. Ashely was professional, gave good advice and genuinely wants to make sure you get exactly what you want. She also is diverse in her ability to give you the perfect dress- my sister, sister in law and myself all had our dresses designed by her, all of them were uniquely different, resembled our personalities, and beautiful. I highly recommend you work with Ashley to design your dress.
Where should I start?! LOVE.
I fell in love with one of A.Cherie’s dresses, but had a vision of my own. Not only did she bring it all to life, she and her team were were an absolute pleasure to work with. When I put on my dress on my wedding day, I knew there wasn’t anything that could ruin our day - and there wasn’t. Ashley, thank you, thank you, thank you. I will never forget how I felt in my dress. I love it, still. メ◯, Kim
I just got married in October. I had originally purchased a dress from David's Bridal and the second I left the store I had buyers remorse. I have known since I was 16 that I wanted a red and lace wedding dress, I am not a traditional type person. The dress I bought felt so generic and it was the typical all white dress. I had felt like I just had to pick something because I had always believed that custom dresses cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. Thankfully that nagging feeling of dread I felt every time I looked at my dress drove me to do extensive research. I came across A. Cherie and heard nothing but great things about it. I live 5 hours from the shop but when I saw the creations and prices that they were offering it was well worth the drive. I have never been so happy with a decision I have made. From start to finish Ashley (the owner) was the nicest, easiest person to work with. She worked around my schedule each time I needed to drive down for a scheduled appointment. She made sure we did as much as possible each time I was there so I didn't have to drive back a million times. At the first appointment she drew the sketch of my dress and it was amazing to see my vision on paper. It was exactly what I had had in mind. By the last appointment I had done everything from hand selecting my fabrics (colors and material) all the way to picking how low and fitted I wanted every aspect of my dress. The final product was a masterpiece! It was everything I've ever wanted. My guests were in awe on my wedding day and I felt absolutely stunning!
My dress was my favorite part of my entire wedding, it was like the cherry on top of the perfect cake, it was the perfecting touch. My dress is something I would have never been able to find on a rack. I didn't run the risk of running into another bride with the exact same dress as myself. I felt like I was wearing a creation straight off the New York runway without the New York price. If you are wanting the full bridal experience and you want to feel like a queen on your wedding day then let Ashley handle it. You will not regret it!
Ashley was so fun and easy to work with. The whole process of designing your very own custom dress is just amazing, from choosing laces and fabrics and colors, to mix matching styles you know you loved from other dresses.
The dress was no more expensive than it would have been to buy something less unique and special off the shelf, and the process was way more fun and memorable. A. Cherie made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day and my dress came out perfect, and just thr way I envisioned.
I cant recommend A. Cherie enough, absolutely chose her and her team if you want a gorgeous custom dress!
I loved my experience with A.Cherie Couture! Ashely was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process of creating my wedding dress. I was so nervous of this process because I was so worried about it coming in and fitting me right but Ashely kept reassuring me that it will be ok! The process was actually a lot of fun. They created a pencil sketch of the dress and than mail you swatches of the dress materials to make sure you like the material that your custom dress will be made from. I am so happy I decided to get a custom dress. My dress came in on time and fit me like a glove! Thank you Ashely for creating my dress and making my dream come true!
My experience with A.Cherie Couture has been amazing! Ashley was extremely helpful and easy to get ahold of. She is very professional and worked with me to create my dream dress! She sent fabric samples and dress drawings before she began to create it, and she did everything in a timely manner. When I took my dress to my seamstress in CA to add a bustle, she was amazed at how perfectly the dress fit me! On my wedding day I got an endless amount of compliments on my dress! Definitely recommend!!
After trying on many wedding dresses, I could not find one that felt "right." After some digging, I found A. Cherie and could not be more happy about that! Ashley walked me through the custom process and was very kind and patient as I wasn't sure initially what I wanted the dress to look like. She was so helpful and thorough throughout the whole process, even taking the time to answer questions about accessories for the dress. When the dress arrived, I was blown away. The quality and craftsmanship is beyond stunning. I feel so lucky that I was able to wear a piece of her art on my wedding day. I would highly recommend A. Cherie for your custom wedding dress!
I had a very particular, non-traditional, design in mind for my wedding dress, and A. Cherie executed it beautifully! We had phone calls and lots of dialogue over email, and Ashley truly understood my vision for the dress. She moved mountains (and mailed lots of swatches!) so that we could get just the right color of peachy pink for the dress. A. Cherie also problem-solved the construction of the dress so that the plunging back I hoped for worked with the front of my gown, which was no small task. Her team's beading and pleating was perfection! The final dress had the movement, the drape and every other detail I'd hope for. I had a wonderful experience with this talented, professional and creative team.
I had my wedding dress custom made with Ashley and I HIGHLY recommend her and her team! She was so easy to work with remotely and so patient with all of my questions and requests. The process of designing the dress was so much fun and I loved every step from brainstorming to picking out fabrics to the finishing touches! I had a moment when I first put my dress on for the wedding and I thought how cool it is that no one in the world will ever have the same dress. I got so many compliments throughout the night! She also made the most gorgeous veil for me- It is a glitter tulle veil and looks absolutely stunning!
I am SO excited to be writing this review. I received my wedding dress in the mail, and it's even better than I could have imagined. Ashley completely saw my vision and executed it flawlessly regardless of my location, how many details I requested, the unique fabric I requested and specific color as well as the beading details.
Before I had my design consultation with Ashley, I visited a few bridal shops and had reached out to another custom dress company, but after seeing Ashley’s designs and hearing her expertise, it was a no brainer to choose her! I knew the cost, quality, and details would just be perfect, and I was right!
I chose A.Cherie for many reasons!
First, your custom design is truly what you want and no settling. With other custom dress companies I was told I can only pick between this and this, not that. I had options I had to choose from for color and fabrics. But with A.Cherie Couture, I designed something that is a combination of so many different elements I loved and truly unique to me. I sent Ashley my Pinterest board, and we talked through all of my unique photos! I always felt assured throughout the process. Ashley would personally send me updates and make sure I was in the loop of everything! She would text me, e-mail me, or any preferred contact I had!
I decided to quit my search at bridal shops and chose A.Cherie and I am so happy I did! Unlike bridal shops, there was absolutely no pressure to decide if I wanted to move forward. They gave me the time I needed to make sure this is what I want!
I made my virtual design consultation appointment where I spoke with Ashley directly for about an hour and half. She then sent me my custom sketches and a day or 2 after she sent the production assessment! She mailed me fabric swatches to confirm before sewing began. I wanted a specific lace, which Ashley searched and searched and finally found it! Once I confirmed the fabrics, Ashley sent me a computerized drawing of my dress! I was SO excited to see that. It showed exactly how she was going to place my lace and everything! She also then sent me a huge file explaining all of the details about my dress so there was no room for confusion and question. She kept me updated throughout the whole process so I felt at ease with being in a different state. Ashley told me to plan for some minimal alterations at the end, but when my dress arrived I was so pleased because it fit so perfectly! I showed it to friends and family and they thought that this dress was at LEAST $10K when my dress was actually less than half of that!
All brides who are considering a dress off the rack, or a different custom dress company… STOP and choose A.Cherie! The quality, price and all of the details you receive along the way are so worth it! I had all my sketches framed at my wedding and everyone just loved that! I got so many compliments the night of my wedding and even after! When I get my photos back from my photographer I will be sure to add them to my post! I am so grateful I came across Ashley and her team! They were such a pleasure to work with and made all my dreams come true!
The experience I had at A.Cherie was above and beyond what I could even begin to expect. Ashley and her team FAR exceeded any expectations I had and were consistently a step ahead.
My process began by trying on other dresses at several local designer stores, and I went in ready to spend any amount to find THE dress. I soon became disappointed by the availability and lack of creativity I was finding in the stores and nothing seemed to be what I was looking for.
Disappointed with what I was finding, I reached out to Ashley at A.Cherie. Ashley responded promptly and we set up an appointment to discuss my ideas. Ashley recommended having a good idea of what I wanted in my dress, to bring pictures of the dresses I had liked, and anything I had not liked. At our meeting, she sketched out the dress design that would be the inspiration for the rest of the process.
At the second meeting, we discussed the details of the dress and took measurements. This appointment was one of the most fun, but slightly overwhelming appointments for me. I got to pick all the details, but since I am not as good at visualizing, it was hard to imagine it coming together. This is where Ashley’s expertise is AMAZING! At this appointment, we also discussed what type of lace I wanted, what colors I wanted in the dress, if I had any specific type of lace in mind, and other small details I wanted to include. My dress was heavily beaded so we picked beads, rhinestones, and buttons. She also had dresses at her studio that were very helpful in allowing me to see what she is capable of creating as well as the different types of lace, beads, buttons, tulle, etc. she uses.
After we picked a lace Ashley was able to create a computerized drawing of what the dress would look like. She uses a digitized version of the lace and can approximate where the lace placement will be. This is the final step before your dress starts being made and truly allows you to see your dress start to come to life.
Once my dress was complete I had a “fitting.” I say fitting but what is great about A.Cherie is the dress will already fit and there may only be minor adjustments since she uses YOUR measurements to make the dress!
The experience I had at A.Cherie was one I will not readily forget as there is nothing Ashley and her team missed or overlooked. Ashley was great at keeping me informed and updated throughout the process. She was beyond helpful in consoling my fears, listening to my concerns, and walking me through the process step-by-step. I was SO glad she was there to bounce ideas and give opinions. I often had hesitations about certain aspects of my dress and Ashley was great at giving her opinion based on her experience. Ashley without a doubt knows what she’s doing. I have been recommending all of my friends to use A.Cherie as she made my dream dress come to life AND look even better than I could have hoped for. A.Cherie is leaps and bounds above ANY experience you will get at a bridal store and my dress ended up costing less than what I would have spent had I bought off the rack.
Ashley’s professionalism, attention to detail, creativity, and passion give her the edge to make your experience SO much more than just buying a dress. It was so special to have a custom dress made for my once-in-a-lifetime day. I cannot thank nor say enough amazing things about Ashley and her team at A.Cherie Couture. If you choose Ashley to create your dress I promise it will be the best decision you make.
Looking for a dress for an event is stressful and looking for the wedding gown of your dreams is not exempt from that same strand of stress. But I have to say Ashley of A. Cherie Custom Wedding Dresses made this process so smooth and seamless I couldn’t have imagined getting my wedding dress anywhere else. Because her establishment is in Texas and I’m out of state she was very detailed in guiding me how to get exact measurements and what the process would be like. Any questions I had she was more than willing to answer and put my mind at ease. I just received my dress within the last week and I am truly at a loss for words with how beautiful it is! My jaw literally dropped the moment I tried it on and it was in that moment I truly felt like a bride. Ashley, thank you so much for making my dreams come true with this dress! I can’t wait for my big day and for my fiancé to see me in this masterpiece. To anyone who is looking for that perfect custom dress this is definitely the place to go! Hands down 100%.
Ashley of A. Cherie Couture was an absolute God-send for me! She was able to take elements from dozens of different pictures that I brought in and sketched up a design that was even better than I had imagined. The whole process of working with her, from picking fabrics and beads, to the fittings and alterations, could not have gone more smoothly. She was professional, knowledgeable, and astoundingly creative. The final product was perfect, and fit me like a glove!! I got so many compliments about how it fit me and how it flowed when I was moving.
I would definitely recommend A. Cherie Couture to anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind dress that makes you feel like a queen/princess/goddess! I truly think that no one else could have created my dream dress with the same amount of detail and elegance as Ashley did.
I worked with Ashley for over a year from 1500 miles away to design my wedding dress. Unlike many girls, I did not have my dress dreamed up in detail and I'd never tried one on - Ashley guided me through the whole process, including how to dream up my dress... and when I put it on for the first time, I realized it was meant to be all along! What an experience. The compliment I get most often on my dress was "I've never seen anything like it, it's so you". I'll be proud to preserve it and share it with a future generation. "Thank you" could never be enough.
I CANNOT SAY ENOUGHHHHH about A.Cherie. From making sure I got exactly what I wanted to the amazing quality veil I received for such a great price. That veil was the talk of the wedding!!! I felt like a princess in my custom veil. Thank you so much, A.Cherie, for your attention to detail and amazing intricate work.
Ashley recently made my daughter's bridal veil and everything about the experience was wonderful. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted: color, length, type of lace, etc. then delivered exactly what we ask for, sooner than promised. When my daughter tried on the veil at her first dress fitting it clearly was perfection.
I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for the veil of their dreams at a fair price.
