Wow, what do I say other than I'm overwhelmed with joy and thankfulness! I feel so incredibly blessed to have found Loyce. When I was looking for someone who could help me look fabulous on my wedding day, I searched for months and found alot of bad reviews. I found Loyce's website and read all the amazing testimonies and couldn't wait to meet her. From the moment I walked into her studio, I realized this wasn't going to be any ordinary situation. She spent her time getting to know me, and my style. She kept me laughing with her own stories and advice on marriage. She helped me as a plus-size bride put together a one-of-a-kind look that was fabulous. She cared about the details like how I would wear my hair, jewelry, accessories that fit the theme of the wedding. She really helped me find the undergarments that would make my dress look amazing and every suggestion she made was perfect and was exactly what i needed. This isn't your standard bridal studio, this is a one-of-a-kind experience. Even my fiancé one time stopped by after my fitting to meet her and she encouraged us in our future marriage and lives together. You can't help but to walk away from each experience with Loyce without being encouraged and even more excited about your day.
My dress was simple, but perfect for my day, but the thing I appreciate the most about Loyce is her ability to fit a dress style to every brides dream day. It doesn't matter how simple or even how elaborate you want it, she will find the right style and fit for you all while keeping you laughing and joyful in the haste of wedding preparation. Looking back over my experience, I am so thankful for the chance to work with Loyce and almost wish I had a reason today to get another dress done. She was a highlight to my wedding prep and helped this bride walk down the aisle in style and and perfection. Thanks Loyce!

"I knew from the moment I met Loyce, from Grace Custom Bridal, that I wanted to work with her on my dress for the big day. She was fun, attentive and just so reassuringly open and honest with my ideas and throughout the fittings. Despite moving away from the idea of recreating a dress, Loyce was my go to lady for alterations on the dress that I eventually found. Other than her own fabulous skills, she also helped put me in touch with others in the business that she trusts for Bridal underwear, dry cleaning and alterations for my Mom's outfit. I can't thank her enough for her vivacious support that saw me through what is an inevitably emotional time."
I am so grateful for everything you did to make me look so amazingly beautiful on my wedding day.

First let me start by saying, my maid of honor referred me to "Grace Bridal Couture" after she saw that I was overwhelmed, frustrated and running out of time as told to us by other salons. I needed to get my dress option nail down so I could move forward with the rest of the wedding planning. Loyce, the owner and designer of "Grace Bridal" was a such a pleasure to work with. Before meeting Loyce I had a not so pleasant experience shopping at my local bridal stores. It left me almost in tears because nothing fit right. I had two things that were not in my favor. I was a plus size bride with a plus size bust line.
Loyce the owner and designer of, Grace Bridal Couture", is more than a designer she stepped in as a big sister, mom, therapist, wedding consultant, life coach, and she was my shoulder to cry on when I became stressed. She mostly helped with the sadness I felt because I lost the two of my parents three years before. They wouldn't be there on my special day. Need I say that she could create what I thought I was envisioning but it was more perfect because it what exactly what I wanted. As she walked me through the creative process, Loyce designed the dress of my dreams by helping me understand what would work on my body type. But she also incorporated every detail I wanted. She cut away pieces added pieces, found more than gorgeous beaded lace that was a must have. She designed my dress within my budget. Her sister Bridgette named my dress "Marriage With A Promise". And that's ever bit of what my marriage is to be.
I can remember the day my dress was finally finished. After Loyce laced me in tight and placed the veil upon my head I looked into the full length mirror wanting to burst into tears because my dress was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous, Radiant, Adorn, Couture, Elegance. All of GRACE.
Loyce I can't thank you enough for the greatest experience. I've found in you a big sister that has given me so many life lessons. You have become my counselor of marriage and now a lifelong friend. I would recommend Loyce to any bride-to-be with a dream dress that she can’t find anywhere. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Loyce is a true gem! I met with a number of tailors in Los Angeles, trying to find one I clicked with to work on my mother's wedding dress (now my wedding dress) and once I met Loyce I knew my search was over. Loyce LOVES vintage wedding dresses! She understands how special they are, the detailed work they require and she knows how to modernize them while still respecting the original designer's vision. I couldn't have been in better hands! For my dress, Loyce restored the hem and some beadwork, created a bustle for the train (that was perfect!) and re-fitted the sleeves (twice! due to my indecision...) The work she did was truly stunning. She also gently sewed a comb into our ninety-year-old family veil that was secure, but could be removed for the next bride. I would trust her with any garment. She is incredibly skilled and I could not have been happier with the end result. Loyce knows her brides, she loves them and she understands how important the dress is. Especially with an heirloom dress, you will be hard-pressed to find anyone who cares more than she does. And to top it all off, Loyce is such a sweetheart! She's so wonderful to work with, is always in a good mood and very easy going. She made the fittings fun! And she even texted me on my wedding day to give her support from afar! Wearing my mother's wedding dress was a childhood dream. Loyce perfected the dress so I could make that dream a reality. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
