Tip of the Day: There's a big difference between getting a custom-made wedding gown and having minor adjustments made. Generally, when you order a dress from a salon, it comes from a designer who is making hundreds of the same style, whereas a custom gown is domestically made in the designer's atelier.

And, even if the designer can't do it, there's a good chance any full-service bridal salon can.
