When you put on your wedding dress, you’ll just know.
Maybe you’ll know right away. Maybe your heart will leap into your throat and goosebumps will rise on your arms. You’ll take your phone out to snap a photo to send to your best friend, saying “this is it. I found the one.”
Or maybe you won’t be sure. Maybe you’ll try on two, three, five more dresses. Maybe you’ll feel undecided, teetering on the edge between a few options. But you’ll find yourself coming back to the one dress. You’ll find yourself wondering — was that it? Was that the one?
And because you have Grace + Ivory’s wedding gowns for 3 days to try at home, you’ll sleep on it. 🌙
And tomorrow, you’ll try on that same dress on again.
Tomorrow, you’ll look at yourself in the mirror one more time. Smiling, because it’s just as good as you remembered.
Introducing a new way to shop for your wedding dress. The private Try At Home experience that allows you to shop your way, on your terms.

Today, as we commemorate International Women's Day, I'm reminded of the remarkable strides we've made towards gender equality, and equally, of the work that remains to be done. This day serves as a powerful reminder to celebrate the achievements of women worldwide, while also recognizing the ongoing efforts to dismantle barriers and create a more inclusive society for all.
As an Asian-American woman, I'm grateful to have the education and opportunity to start anything at all, let alone an amazing business. For Grace + Ivory Bridal, I built a brand that's about celebrating your unique style and story while supporting our larger community. Whether you're a bride-to-be or simply rocking your own brand of fabulous, we're here to cheer you on and make you feel like the absolute badass you are!
From breaking glass ceilings to breaking stereotypes, womxn continue to pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. So here's to the trailblazers, the dreamers, and the doers—we see you, we appreciate you, and we're here to stand beside you every step of the way.
Let's keep championing each other, lifting each other up, and smashing those glass ceilings together. Because when women support women, incredible things happen!
Happy International Women's Day, everyone! 💪🚀
Tina - Founder & CEO

Our Sloane dress in black is a bridal favorite for those looking for something different this spooky season. We can do beyond ivory white with most of our collection - just ask!
This shoot is one of our Fall faves! Thank you to a wonderful team:
Thinking destination wedding? Many of our brides chose some gorgeous spots for their nuptials. We loved designing Michelle’s custom bridal looks (we worked with her for two dresses) for her Cancun wedding. 😍 🌴
Destination wedding pros? The overall experience - a beautiful location, quality time with your guests, and (possibly) more affordable!

Congrats to Courtney & Phil! Courtney selected our Sienna dress for her big day, which has a silk satin skirt that feels SO amazing. With illusion and silk satin appliqué on top and that low back, it’s the perfect combination of sexy & chic. 🩵🩵

Try at home wedding dresses
Here’s quick how-to for trying wedding dresses on at home! ♥️
I’m sure you’ve imagined the moment you find your wedding dress; the smiles as you exit the dressing room, the tears from your mother, the consultant pulling out the veil.
As beautiful as the moment is, it can be a lot and this tradition isn’t something that every bride looks forward to. If you’re thinking, “oh no, that’s me!" we’re here to assure you that it’s totally okay, and a try-at-home wedding dress may be the ideal solution!
Wanting to find your wedding dress on your own terms, as traditional or nontraditional as you please, shouldn’t limit your options. If you’re a bride who may want to skip the bridal shops, visit https://www.graceandivory.com/2021/08/27/try-at-home-wedding-dress/ for five reasons why trying your dress on at home is still just as glamorous and all the more unique.
Always classic and clean, Crepe is a year-round favorite when it comes to choosing a wedding dress. Its mid-weight fabric makes a crepe wedding dress ideal for any season, venue, and dress silhouette. But with many wedding dress fabrics to choose from, we know how hard it can be to narrow down which one is right for you.
Visit https://www.graceandivory.com/2021/07/27/4-reasons-to-choose-a-crepe-wedding-dress/ for four reasons why a crepe wedding dress may be perfect for your walk down the aisle!
DC was dreamy! ✨ We're honored to be named a featured vendor by @thebigfakewedding amongst a lineup of incredible groups! 'Til next time, Washington. 🤍

Ready for a fresh take on wedding dresses? Our collection of made-to-measure dresses is carefully curated, embodying preferences of the modern bride. Dresses are made with quality in mind, with fabrics like soft tulle, Japanese crepe, mid-weight silk satin, and fine cotton lace. With hand-beaded, hand-sewn details, every dress is one-of-a-kind.
We aim for extraordinary. We start each individual dressmaking process once an order is received and focus on providing the best customer experience. Our design stylists work with a bride from initial inquiries, to helping with purchasing, custom requests, follow-up questions, and shipping. Every dress is carefully sewn, thoroughly inspected, and lovingly hand-packaged.
By partnering directly with our dressmaker, we cut out layers of distributors and retailers to offer gorgeous dresses at a great price. Every dress is made-to-measure saving a bride on multiple fittings and alterations costs, giving her a beautiful, custom-sewn dress made just for her.
As our mission is about women helping women, a portion of every dress purchase goes to programs helping women and girls in need. We’re currently supporting Plan International’s The Girls’ Fund, which has programs around the world focusing on girls’ health, education, empowerment, and community involvement. Grace + Ivory supports Plan’s belief that gender equality is central to achieving long-term change.
We hope you support our mission. Bridal Done Differently.
