Finding a bohemian wedding gown should not feel like a gamble.
Every gown at Lace & Love comes in a standard size or Custom Made to your own measurements, bust, waist, hips, height, hollow-to-hem, and is made by hand in Israel by Shany Sasson, a third-generation bridal designer working from her own atelier since 2011. The shop holds 5.0 on Etsy across 215 verified reviews.
This is what the process actually looks like, from choosing a silhouette to the dress arriving.
The fear, and what is behind it
It is almost always about fit. Which is reasonable, you are buying the most photographed garment of your life without putting it on.
But the comparison is not "try it on" against "do not try it on." It is a sample size pinned to your body and then cut down afterwards, against a pattern drafted from your numbers before anything is cut. The second one starts closer.
If a free-spirited, romantic look is the direction, start in the boho collection.
The process
- Choose your gown. Browse and find the silhouette you keep returning to.
- Pick your size, or send your measurements. For Custom Made we send an illustrated guide; you measure at home with someone helping.
- Shany checks them. She reads every set against itself and writes to you if a number looks off. Then the lace is cut.
- Five to six weeks in the making at the atelier.
- It ships. DHL or UPS Express, three to five business days, with duties and taxes prepaid where they are shown at checkout.
Choosing a silhouette
Boho covers a lot of ground. Knowing which part you mean saves hours:
- Lace and chiffon for soft, romantic movement, the lace and chiffon gowns.
- Long sleeves for coverage without formality, the long sleeve collection.
- Open and low backs for the reveal as you turn, see open back gowns.
- Beach and destination in lightweight fabrics that survive a suitcase, here.
Making it yours
Because the gown is cut to order, the photographs are a starting point rather than a menu. Neckline, sleeve length, back coverage, lining colour, skirt details, all open. You can also put the bodice of one gown on the skirt of another. See what is possible in the Custom Made collection. One of our real brides, Rosanne, had the Evelyn Gown made with a closed front and a turtleneck collar.
Questions
How do shipping and customs work?
DHL or UPS Express, worldwide. Duties and taxes are prepaid where they are shown at checkout. A few destinations still apply local charges, ask and we will confirm yours.
What if I am nervous about measuring myself?
Send the numbers anyway and let Shany check them, that is what the review step is for. If you would rather be certain first, a local tailor will take them in ten minutes.
Can I customise my gown?
Yes. Necklines, sleeves, back coverage, lining colour, skirt details, or two gowns combined into one design.
How long does the whole thing take?
Five to six weeks to make, plus three to five business days to ship. We check it against your wedding date before you order.
