About the designer & dressmaker.

​

For nearly two decades I have been designing and making wedding dresses and accessories for brides all across the world. In 2016, after years of running a busy custom bridal studio in Toronto, I envisioned a fresh new label, and expanded to selling my dresses at other bridal shops under the name Abigail of Gardenia. After designing the second collection of 2017, I quickly fell in love with the whimsical elements and floral details of the Dayflower dress.  Not long after that, Abigail of Gardenia became my main label where I continue to design a mix of unique floral dresses and veils. Over the past few years, I have downsized retail stockists, and shifted my focus back to working with brides directly online in order to maintain the bespoke nature of the gowns, as well as keep everything in-house and limited in edition. My current design passion is unique floral embroidery designs, and I will always have a special place in my heart for the golden gown, "Daystar" which remains a fan favourite. In 2025 I have just released my newest collection "Sparrow in the Garden" In this collection I aim to produce more minimalist designs, as well as unique ready to ship items using new and vintage fabrics that I have collected throughout a long dressmaking journey.
I strive to make high quality gowns at modest prices, and having a designer direct business model enables me to cut out the retail markup, and pass a more pleasant price onto my customers. Each year I create new & fresh designs for collections, and I absolutely love working on unique and one of a kind custom designs.

Each Abigail of Gardenia gown & veil is made to order, and is designed, cut, sewn, and packaged in my Canadian studio.
