Couture Designer,
Reality Engineer & Problem Solver

For any bride-to-be, there’s so much pressure to find The Dress. It can feel overwhelming at best, and traumatic at worst.

In my years as a designer, I’ve come across a lot of women who have confided in me about their experience in struggling to find exactly what they’re looking for.

Women have a dream wedding in mind and sometimes find it hard to have it come together because of their shopping experience.

Especially with all the options in bridalwear today, women can feel confused about whether to commit to lace or silk, ballgown or mermaid, sleeves or strapless. Sometimes, they want it all!

And other times, it’s not about what they want – it’s what they think they can’t have.

I meet so many women who compare themselves to what they see on social media, and then think they can’t achieve this look. We really can be our own worst critic.

Having struggled my whole life to find high end fashion that fits me well, I’ve experienced many of the problems us girls face, first-hand.

This is what drove me to provide a service where women can look super stylish, but on their own terms.

I help them to achieve any look they want, because we custom design gowns to suit each and every client.

No matter what their shape or size, my aim is to make every bride feel amazing on her special day.

For me, it’s all about creating a space where women feel safe and comfortable to talk about their dream wedding gown without judgement.

One of the most restrictive things I think we can do to ourselves is to blindly follow a trend, especially when we know that deep down we would be better suited to something else. It’s important to have an open mind and be willing to try new things, especially when it comes to fashion.

Silvana Tedesco designs are not for women who want to ‘play it safe.’ We’ll push the boundaries when it comes to creating your dream gown: we’ll flaunt skin (tastefully, of course), experiment with fabrics in new and unseen ways, and play with designs that are ultra-modern + original. And we’ll do it all with guidance and suggestions from you – because nobody knows you better than yourself.

Your wedding dress is whatever you want it to be – we’re just here to bring your vision to life.

The bottom line? I want her to see herself in a different light, and to feel incredible when she’s in her gown. That’s the most rewarding thing for me, and why I do what I do.
