Hello, I'm Maureen, the designer and dressmaker behind Abigail of Gardenia.

I have been making wedding dresses and accessories for almost two decades, and I continue to be inspired by the special qualities that are only found in fine bridal garments. Over my many years in bridal, I have worked out of my own brick & mortar boutique, created dresses for brides online, and also sold my bridal collections through stockists all over the world. I have created a wide range of designs, and over the past few years have downsized stockists, and directed my focus to working with brides directly online. I absolutely love working with you to customize my designs to match your colour scheme, and add a unique & memorable element to your wedding day. My design passions are unique floral embroidery designs, as well as my legendary gold sequin gown, the "Daystar". Over the years, I have developed a unique multi-elemental process to hand colour the intricate floral elements that bring my wildflower dresses, veils and accessories to life, making them truly unique heirloom pieces that you will not find anywhere else.

Each Abigail of Gardenia gown & accessory is made to order, and is designed, cut, sewn, and packaged in my Canadian studio. In order to ensure that Abigail of Gardenia gowns remain unique and are always created with meticulous attention to detail, and to the highest standard of quality, quantities are limited.

If you have any questions at all, or would like to book a consultation, send me a message, I will love to hear from you!
