Two Piece Wedding Dresses & Bridal Separates

The Non-Traditional Wedding Dress

If you’re looking for a modern wedding gown, something special and a little different to the traditional white wedding dress, you’ve come to the right place! At My Trousseau, we specialise in bespoke non-traditional wedding dresses. Whether you’re envisaging a light-weight, two-piece bridal gown for a destination wedding or seeking an alternative wedding dress with colour or embellishment for your civil ceremony, our custom wedding dresses can be tailored to your exact specifications.

We offer a wide range of contemporary designs to cater to the diverse preferences of modern brides. In addition to classic A-line and ballgown shapes, our collection features sleek and streamlined silhouettes, elegant two-piece gowns, high-low wedding dresses and sophisticated trousers/pantsuits. Each design is meticulously handcrafted with high-end embellishments and available in a variety of colours, perfect for those seeking an alternative wedding dress/ alternative bridal look.

We don’t sell ready-to-wear or off-the-rack designs, as we believe in creating unique pieces that reflect the personal style of every bride. We understand that every bride is different, and our goal is to create a dress that truly captures your vision. Whether you’d like to invoke the style of a 1940s screen siren, create a contemporary red-carpet bridal look, or perhaps a white wedding gown with a touch of high-end embellishment, we can create the perfect alternative wedding dress for you.

Custom Designs Tailored To You

Our designers will help you pick the perfect elements for your bespoke wedding dress and rework these into a cohesive design to create your dream wedding look. We start by creating the perfect silhouette for you, using skirt shapes, necklines and sleeve lengths, as well as the choice of fabrics and construction. Next, we look at the level and type of embellishment you’d like. For example, whether you prefer an all-over hand-embroidered-lace look or a neckline adorned with pearls and beads. Finally, we focus on the design details, including colours and taking your measurements for the made-to-measure aspect of our bespoke bridal service. We’ll even provide a complimentary fabric swatch in your chosen colour, along with a sample of the embellishment, to help you match your accessories.

Once you’ve decided on a design, we will make a brand-new, made-to-measure and custom-made wedding dress exclusively for you. Our bespoke service ensures you get a perfect fit and gives you the option to customise the colour, re-work embellishment and make changes to details such as neckline or sleeve length.

If you’re placing an order from US, Canada, Europe or Middle East and not available to come to our showroom in London, we are still able to cater to your requirements. Read more on our custom design process for international brides here.

How long does a customised design take to be made?

The timeframe for creating your bespoke wedding dress depends on the complexity of the design. Generally, it can take anywhere from 6 to 12* months to deliver a custom-made bridal design. However, we understand that some brides may have time constraints and require their orders sooner, so do accept requests for express orders and try to accommodate them whenever possible.

*Some of the more complex high-end designs can take longer.

Alternative Wedding Dresses For Reception

As the ceremony concludes and the reception begins, it’s not uncommon for brides to opt for a changeover, embracing designs that are slightly more embellished. The evening reception often calls for a touch of added glamour, and our range offers designs that perfectly balance sophistication with detailing. However, modern bridal fashion knows no bounds. Whether it’s alternative colours like dusty pinks or different silhouettes, the choice remains yours. The selections below are merely suggestions; your wedding attire should resonate with your style and vision.
