Custom Bespoke Gowns
Your dream dress, designed and crafted exclusively for you in our Tulsa atelier.
Made for the bride who wants it personal
The House of Valentine is an appointment-only atelier. Every gown is made one at a time by Sonni Jackson, not pulled from a rack. Brides come here when they want a couture conversation about silhouette, fabric, and how the dress should feel when they walk the aisle. If you are searching for a quiet studio experience in Tulsa rather than a crowded sample room, you are in the right place.
We welcome you at 8988-F South Sheridan Road, Tulsa, OK 74133. Bring inspiration, questions, and the people who help you decide. We will map a clear path from first sketch to final fitting.

Book a custom gown consultationThe commission journey
Full custom wedding gowns typically require 8 to 10 months, so we recommend beginning while your date still gives the work room to breathe. The journey moves through three careful movements: design, fabric and fit, and finish.
Design
We begin with your vision. In a private Tulsa consultation, we explore silhouettes, necklines, trains, and the story you want your gown to tell. Sketches refine until the drawing feels like you.
Fabric & Fit
Fabrics are sourced from the great houses of Europe, including Chantilly lace from Paris and silk duchess satin from London. Multiple fittings shape the gown to your body alone so it drapes beautifully and feels secure.
Finish
Hand-tailoring and meticulous finishing bring the commission to life. Every seam, bead, and quiet detail receives couture care before your final try-on.
Why brides choose the House of Valentine
You meet the designer, not a rotating sales team. Fittings happen in a private Tulsa studio with time to talk through construction, comfort, and the details that make a gown feel finished. Fabrics are chosen with intention, including Chantilly lace from Paris and silk duchess satin from London, then shaped to your measurements alone.
Sample-rack shops help many brides find a beautiful starting point. A custom commission is different: the pattern begins with you. If you already have a purchased gown that needs expert hands, our bridal alterations studio is here for that path as well. Compare bespoke, made-to-measure, and off-the-rack wedding dresses to understand the different paths.

Planning questions
How much does a custom wedding gown cost?
Custom wedding gowns start at $7,500. Pricing varies depending on fabric selection and design complexity. Every gown is unique, so we provide a detailed estimate after your consultation.
What should I bring to a custom wedding gown consultation?
Bring inspiration, questions, and the people who help you decide. The consultation explores silhouette, fabric, and how you want your gown to feel.
Should I book custom or alterations?
Book a custom consultation when you want a gown designed and made for you. Book alterations when you already have a gown that needs fit work.
Who is a custom commission for?
Brides who want a gown designed for their body and their day, not adapted from a sample rack. If you have a clear feeling, a silhouette in mind, or simply want guidance from a designer who will sew the piece herself, this process is for you.
How long does a custom wedding gown take?
Full custom wedding gowns typically require 8 to 10 months from the first consultation through final finishing. We recommend starting early so the process feels calm and not rushed.
How is this different from a boutique sample experience?
You work directly with Sonni Jackson in an appointment-only Tulsa atelier. There is no sales-floor pressure and no off-the-rack compromise. The gown is drafted, fitted, and finished for you alone.
