Light, lace
and silence.

Our gowns are built to move. Every layer is cut on the body, every bead is placed by hand, so that the dress disappears and only the bride remains.

The Atelier

How a gown
is made

  1. Consultation

    We meet, we talk about the day, the venue, the way you like to move. Sketches begin here.

  2. Toile & fitting

    A first version in cotton, shaped on your body until the silhouette is exactly right.

  3. Embroidery

    Lace, beading and pearls are placed one by one over weeks in the atelier.

  4. Final fitting

    The finished gown, the veil, the last stitch. Ready for the day.

About

Salma
Ghandour

Salma Ghandour is a bridal couture house built around a single idea: a wedding gown should be as particular as the woman who wears it. Every dress is designed, cut and embroidered in our own atelier, on our own tables, by our own hands.

We work slowly, with a small number of brides each season, so that each gown receives the time it deserves.
