As I started out looking for my wedding dress, I couldn't stand how every dress in every bridal shop looked exactly the same. I didn't want to be spending thousands of dollars on something that was just OK and would be at the next wedding I went to. So I was online and saw the great reviews for Kiko and said, yes, this is perfect! Of all the things I decided on for my wedding, the one choice that was hands down the best was getting my dress made by him. It was absolutely stunning, so unique, and I got comments from literally everyone. Kiko took my ideas from magazines and my likes/dislikes and sketched something which took my vision and made it more than I could have imagined. He pushed me to use a beaded lace which I was hesitant on and that part of the dress pulled everything together (not to mention added a great wow factor). He is able to make any dress in any budget and at a quality of dressmaking that is top notch. He was flexible with my schedule for appointments and was available by email/phone/in person when needed. When I asked last minute to do a bussel on my a-symmetrical train, he added it without any issue, even though it was a last minute request. He helped with earring ideas, hair/makeup etc so my look could really come together. Overall, I would encourage anyone who wants an absolutely beautiful and unique dress in the same budget you were thinking of for a bridal store gown to go to Kiko and get something miles above your expectations. Don't be hesitant to go talk to him, you will be glad you did! You will shine on your day and you will get something so special for you to remember forever.
