Planning on turning the fun button on over here. Which means I’m taking on less clients this season and honing in my schedule. If you’ve got a wedding dress that needs alterations my schedule is open but limited.

Reach out if you want to get in for February.

It’s about that time, June rolls around and my times in the studio shift a bit so I can enjoy the outdoors, run my youth horse and sewing programs and still get time to play. Please text me 985-630-5256 and I can help you schedule your appointments accordingly. Happy Friday!

Alterations can be done pretty close to your wedding….I am used to rallying for whatever my clients need. Although I really enjoy scheduling clients pretty far out. The studio is loaded with two handfuls of gowns already. Expecting this bridal gown season to be busier than usual. Schedule with me when you can via the link in my bio. Can’t wait to see you!

I’m Abbey Samuelson—bridal designer, upcycle enthusiast, and the architect of confidence on your wedding day.

Fusing Western comfort with a bold, runway-inspired edge, I craft gowns that move with you—because beauty shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort. From sculpting the perfect bust fit to taming voluminous skirts, every stitch is designed to enhance your ease, elegance, and individuality.

I breathe new life into vintage veils, transform sentimental fabrics into modern treasures, and tailor off-the-rack gowns into flawless, one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Whether it’s a custom creation or a perfectly altered find, your dress should feel like it was made just for you.

Every gown I touch is a statement—a fusion of craftsmanship, originality, and a touch of the unexpected. My mission? To make sure you don’t just wear your dress—you own it.

Let’s make something unforgettable.

Grateful for all the new followers ✨

A little UPDATE 🥰

This is the bridal side of Lavender Elephant
Where I am focusing on brides, high end alterations and pretty lace things.

I am by appointment only, you can simply schedule via my website. I rarely offer tailoring services these days but still alter bridesmaids gowns and other dresses. Consider me now, more of a designer and dressmaker...vs a seamstress or alterationist. I don't take shame in those names just helping you join my evolution.

I was blessed with over 30 wedding gowns this season, start to finish and I am immensely grateful for those that trusted me and had the best time getting to know so many beautiful women.

Grateful to be of service with this skill of mine.
Please don't wait to schedule. Can't wait to meet you.

Gown delivery & Steaming service to the yurt . Sometimes the best option for my brides is for us to deliver the gown and veil ourselves so she doesn't have to move it multiple times before the wedding day. Her gown alterations were 👌 and so was the bride Toria! I really 🥹 adore my brides.

Hey! Yes I am still in business!

I am now located- by appointment only- above in the retail center next to Safeway. I have a specific availability for appointments and only take bookings via my website.

I’m no longer offering gear repairs or general alteration services.

With over 20 wedding gowns last season this season is kicking of strong already. Please don’t hesitate to book bridesmaid dress alterations and wedding gown fittings.

Lavender Elephant Couture

With PROM around the corner please aim at booking a Formal Attire fitting for alterations on the week of the 15th via this link www.abileecouture.com

If you don’t see the time slot you need, or have questions PLEASE text me direct at 985-630-5256.

Between Instagram and Facebook I get a little bombarded on who’s who and needs what.

Come see what I’ve been up to with the creative side of my business this weekend Earth Day Pop Up Market at Fraser Valley Distilling.

Thanks for the continued love and support!

Love when a bride comes in with her mothers gown, an open mind & confident needs. She wanted to feel pretty, be able to dance, and not change her moms dress too much. 🙌✨
