A new Ask Emmaline question is here! Bride-to-be, Ashleigh, asks us about finding a custom lace top for her wedding dress. She loves the look of bridal separates but can’t find a top she likes. She writes,

“Hi Emmaline! I want to do a two-piece wedding dress with a tulle skirt on the bottom and a lace crop top. Do you have any suggestions where to find the lace top? I can’t find one at local bridal shops or whatever I find online hasn’t seemed fancy enough. Thanks!”

Hi Ashleigh, thanks for writing! If they had wedding separates when I planned my wedding, I would have loved the idea of a two-piece top and skirt set; for the reception, you can even switch up your look with the same top and pair with a shorter skirt. I like the idea of changing it up for the reception, as we mentioned with these short wedding dresses.

Anyways, back to your question: where to find a custom bridal dress top. We did a little digging and found a gorgeous one at Bridal By Anatomy. They do completely 100% handmade work — as in, yes, totally gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, and made just for you! — and they’ll work with you on a custom look that suits your individual style and preference. And these definitely look fancy enough for your wedding!

Here’s an example of a lace top they made for a bride, one that sounds like something you’re dreaming of (paired with that tulle skirt = amazing!)

Isn’t it gorgeous? They have even more to love in their shop and shop. To top it off, they’re amazing to work with and truly love what they do (it shows).

Happy Planning! Hope it helps!
