“Being a part of one of the happiest times in a woman's life is my favorite part of working in the wedding industry! One of the most impactful aspects to a woman on her big day is the confidence she feels, her wedding gown plays a big role in that. I feel so honored to be included in ensuring that confidence with the designs I create and perfect fit that I provide.”

Luckily, there is Sarah Kolis Designs!

The mission of Sarah Kolis Custom Designs is to provide wearers with a one-of-a-kind custom couture piece of wearable art to fit their exact body in collaborative style. We provide exceptional quality of custom gowns, veils, and alterations services.

But what really makes Sarah Kolis unique? “Quality is my top priority. I work hard to make sure I am doing the exact services that need to be done in the highest quality possible. I strive to listen to the wearer and understand exactly what their goals are before making such decisions while still incorporating my own creative eye in all the work that I do.”

Personally, I’ve never worn a dress. But I have photographed lots of wedding dresses and y’all, they get beat up. You’re running, you’re dancing, you’re jumping all around and you expect your dress to be able to handle it all. That’s why it’s SUPER important that you get a high-quality dress or alterations done by someone who genuinely knows what they are doing, i.e. Sarah.

Here’s the thing about Sarah, she’s not just talk. This girl walks the walk. She made her own wedding dress.

Four hundred and fifteen hours. One hundred twenty-nine thousand and twenty-two individual beads and rhinestones. Thirty-nine yards of fabric. Four layers of material plus an underskirt and metal cage. Seven skirt panels. Two pockets. <- arguably the most important aspect of any dress.

But Sarah is a rockstar so in addition to her own dress she made TWENTY-FOUR MORE DRESSES and a ring-bearer pillow. In case you weren’t keeping track or are in a state of disbelief, I’ll say it again For her wedding, Sarah Kolis Custom Designs hand-made TWENTY-FIVE different dresses.
