RC Caylan designed my absolute dream wedding dress, along with my husband’s tux and both of our parents’ wedding attire. RC and the team were so wonderful to work with—they did a g...
reat job listening to what I wanted and collaborated extremely well to bring a vision to life.
The process really brings you close with the staff, and it felt so good to look forward to each fitting, knowing they are all incredible at their jobs on top of being amazing people. They truly went above and beyond to make sure the final product looked perfect—so much so that they were there the morning of my wedding to help me get dressed!
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have my dress made by them, and highly recommend choosing RC Caylan for a custom dress!

RC designed my dream dress for my 2019 wedding. Five years later, I was invited to an event he was hosting and I KNEW my dress needed to come out of retirement. My body had evolved...
since then and I knew it wouldn’t fit the same. I brought the dress to RC and his team and within just a couple weeks he’d completely re-imagined it and gave it new life so I could wear it again! I could not have been happier to have the opportunity to wear my gown again completely re-designed as a new, more versatile gown. Forever my fairy godmother, RC will always be my go-to for couture design and high fashion pieces. THANK YOU!

anything I could have expected! I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted my dress to look like, and after talking with him for a few minutes and him, asking me a couple questions he drew a sketch that literally came out exactly what I wanted. it was a great experience overall.

We shopped in several large cities for my daughter's wedding dress and were not able to find anything that came close to her vision of what she wanted to look and feel like on her ...
special day. In fact, the more we looked, the more everything in the bridal boutiques all started to look the same!
Then we found RC. We could not believe we were so fortunate to have this incredible, internationally acclaimed designer right here in Grand Rapids!
RC is not only an extremely talented designer, he is an amazing, caring person. Through several design meetings, he listened intently to Emily's ideas and enthusiastically responded with sketches and designs that perfectly captured what she was expressing. Her wedding dress is beyond magnificent.
While working on her wedding dress, he designed a fabulous feather trimmed jumpsuit for her reception. Beyond our wildest dreams again!
At the same time, he designed a spectacular combination outfit for me that magically transforms from an elegant wedding ceremony gown to a fun, unique pantsuit for the reception. I love it!
Not to be outdone, the groom and father of the bride wanted to look and feel as fabulous as the bride and mother of the bride. RC came through again with incredibly tailored, beautiful suits for them!
Everything RC does is done with extreme attention to detail and with the utmost sense of style and quality. It is absolutely amazing how he incorporated fabric from our bride's dress into our groom's suit for that extra, unexpected touch of style and elegance. And how he mixed fabrics from the mother and father of the bride's ensemble together for a fabulous, very chic touch. We looked so great on the dance floor!
From our first conversation, to consulting on the bridal party photography session, to the wedding ceremony, all the way through to the reception, RC was with us, every step of the way, ensuring that every detail on every garment at every moment was perfection. We could not have been more thrilled!
RC's passion for envisioning and creating extraordinary, breath taking designs made Emily and Nate's special day come to life as the fabulous fantasy, dream wedding they had envisioned. We highly recommend you meet with RC to allow him to share with you how he can make your next event pure magic.
