The Wedding Design Studio by 1440 Design

ly, I found myself returning to this boutique—and I'm so glad I did! I have nothing but great things to say about this bridal shop and all the employees, but one thing that set them apart from many of the big city overpriced boutiques I visited was their pricing. This dress shop was so well priced, they had little to no markup from the designers flagship store, and alterations and customization costs were super fairly priced! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. The sales associates were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the dress of my dreams. Despite having fallen in love with a Pronovias gown (Style: Lynn) and almost purchasing it directly from a flagship store in Italy, meeting Jessica convinced me that this was where my dress needed to be created. She truly understood my vision, down to every last customization, and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with such an important task. Jessica’s expertise and creativity are unmatched. For my wedding, I needed a jacket piece, so I brought over some exquisite handmade lace from Italy. Jessica crafted the most regal, classic, and vintage jacket that perfectly aligned with my vision. She listened attentively to every detail, allowing me to select the exact parts of the lace to showcase on my dress. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that each element was executed flawlessly, with no waste. But Jessica didn’t stop there. She resized the dress to perfection, reshaped the detachable off-the-shoulder straps, added custom buttons that matched the dress material exactly, and even crafted a custom bow with detachable tails. She also designed a detachable bodice ruching detail that gave me endless possibilities for different looks throughout my two-day wedding celebration. Jessica's ability to think outside the box and her commitment to making my vision a reality were truly impressive. Thanks to Jessica, I had one base dress that transformed into three distinct looks. I wore the base dress with the custom jacket, bow, and tails on one day, then switched to the base dress with the ruching bodice detail, bow, and off-the-shoulder straps the next day. Later that night, I removed the straps and bow tails, bustled up the dress, and it looked entirely different with the strapless look. My guests thought I had multiple dresses when it was really just one with detachable details that made it look like several! Jessica also worked her magic on a second dress I purchased—a fully beaded sample sale gown that was ten sizes too big. It was a huge project due to the intricate beading and delicate mesh neckline/openings but she reconstructed it to fit me perfectly, making it feel like a second skin with no gapping anywhere. The dress was transformed from a bridal size 14 to a bridal size 2/4, and it fit like a dream!! Jessica was truly my fairy godmother, turning my Cinderella wedding dress dreams into a reality. I can't thank her and the entire team at The Wedding Design Studio enough. Working with them was an absolute dream, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone searching for their perfect wedding dress and wedding planning needs!!

uced the absolute worst work I have ever seen, completely ruining my $5,000 dress. I had to pay another seamstress to fix it the week of my wedding. She was appalled at the missing boning and complete lack of structure in the custom sleeves. Most importantly, though, when we tried to pursue a partial alterations refund, the owner of the shop was extremely rude, dishonest, and unprofessional, and ultimately only offered a refund on the condition that no one writes a negative review of her business. It seems obvious that this is the only way this shop has maintained their online ratings. We ended up not getting a refund at all after the owner completely changed her stance and refused to acknowledge the horrible alterations. She then made horrible, insanely hurtful claims about my integrity. All from the shop that almost ruined my entire wedding. I have sobbed so many times over the absolutely abhorrent way Casey and the WDS treated my family and me, and I just hope this never happens to another bride again. Stay far away from this business.

htful. You’ve created a beautiful and special environment. We greatly appreciated the experience of browsing the gowns. Maggie’s observations during that time was perfect—suggesting gowns that truly appealed to the bride’s whimsical style while keeping close to her stated price point. Transparent pricing allowed us to make informed choices during this process. It’s something we had not encountered at other salons. This unique feature of your salon was one of the deciding factors in purchasing her gown. The low-key approach allowed the bride to remain relaxed and focused. We didn’t feel manipulated or pressured and that was paramount.
