For nearly 40 years, Manuel Mendoza Couture has been custom-making original bridal gowns and evening wear.

Our commitment is to make you radiantly happy on your special day in a look that is uniquely you. To achieve this, we craft an exquisite, one-of-a-kind gown, perfectly fitted to flatter your figure.

For those with a distinctive sense of style, a desire for a flawless fit, or a longing for something beyond the ordinary, a custom creation by Manuel Mendoza Couture provides the ideal choice.

In addition to our bespoke designs, Manuel Mendoza Couture, led by designer Alison Hartford, works with clients to customize and alter off the rack gowns. Custom veils, headpieces, and accessories to complete your look are also available.


“Every woman no matter her age has her own unique beauty; it’s up to us to define and enhance this natural beauty so that she feels her very best and is confident in her own special style. This one-on-one relationship with my clients is why I am passionately committed to custom-work”.
