    Saved My Wedding!

    Sara saved my sanity. I made the mistake of buying a dress online (one of those made-to-order ones). Well, it arrived late and with some serious issues. The materials and design were very good, but there were bulging seams, a tear, some very incorrect measurements etc...and not much time to have it fixed.

    Despite the fact that I didn't buy the dress with her, Sara got it fixed up with time to spare. She was so sweet to work with too. The dress ended up looking great, and I didn't have to buy a replacement last-minute.

    I wish I had shopped locally, the costs of altering a dress with a professional bridal seamstress are about what you'd expect with dresses that are so detailed and layered...fixing a seam (or several) in one of those areas requires a LOT of time and experience.

    Sara's shop also had lovely dresses on display, and she was so nice and professional. I'm extremely happy with my experience there.

Sara
Founder and Designer

I have over 20 years of experience designing, making, and altering wedding dresses. I used to own a bridal store by the Caspian Sea, and couldn't resist form starting another here in Vancouver after I moved here.

What makes me happiest is helping people feel and look amazing on their special days.


My grandfather was a tailor, so my exposure to clothes-making started young. Eventually, as a teenager, I taught myself to sew by reading magazines and brochues about fashion design and sewing. I spent a lot of my free time altering my own clothes as practice, and I eventually made my own clothes.

In my twenties, I used to teach a sewing and clothes-making class. More than 10 years of teaching later, I finally started my own wedding dress boutique in my hometown by the Caspian Sea. I personally designed and custom-made dresses for hundreds of people for 12 years.‍

In May 2018, I opened Alma Bridal in Downtown Vancouver to continue chasing my passion–to help people feel beautiful on their special days.
