Hellooo Darling, I'm Dani Simone.
Part old-fashioned dressmaker. Part vintage treasure hunter. Entirely obsessed with unforgettable wedding dresses.
I've been designing bridal gowns since 2007, but my love affair with fashion started long before that. Give me 1950s glamour, 1990s elegance, a fabulous 1980s sleeve, and just enough drama to turn heads. I once created a five-piece custom wedding dress because, well, why stop at one?
I've auditioned for Project Runway twice (spoiler alert: I didn't get cast!), but I did meet Christian Siriano IRL!
I collect vintage Barbies, pillbox hats, jewelry, dress patterns, and enough teacups to host a fabulous tea party. My little atelier lives inside my 1947 New England Colonial home, where I'm happily surrounded by gowns, sketches, and beautiful fabrics (although my husband might call it clutter).
Come for the wedding dress. Stay for the stories. And perhaps a cup of tea.
Each made-to-order gown is handcrafted with couture-level construction, thoughtful design, and fabrics chosen for their beauty and movement—silk satins, delicate lace, soft tulle, and fine embellishments. From timeless ballgowns to romantic lace wedding dresses, every silhouette is created to honor your individuality and capture the essence of your story.
Vintage Romance
Each Dani Simone Couture gown is designed to reflect the beauty of your love story. Work one-on-one with our designer to bring your vision to life with complete control over every detail, just like the seamstresses and modistés of history.
An elegant prelude to “I do.” Our tulle bridal robes are crafted for luminous photographs, quiet luxury, and the art of getting ready beautifully.
“Dani Simone is absolutely amazing. Her artistry, attention to detail, and impeccable service are worth more than five stars.”
