We encourage brides to add their unique spin with accessories and details though. It’s not over complicated nor avant-garde." With a smile she repeated, "Our dresses are elegant, classic and timeless. Jaye described her style at Bliss Bridal as "quite simple. She said, "Sourcing materials is not an issue in Barbados, however, we also do import some of our laces and fabrics." A bride should not be worrying about her wedding dress the days leading up to her wedding."Īnd on the topic of importation, Loop Lifestyle asked Jaye about sourcing her materials. We aim to deliver dresses two weeks for local brides to six weeks for overseas brides prior to the wedding date. This is to allow for the importation of the lace and sufficient time for the dress to be made. It really depends on how quickly the bride is willing to move during this initial process. In terms of dress production, we advise brides to order their dress at least six months prior to their wedding date. "The initial process of dress design, preparation of quotations and video calls can take place over a few days or it can take place over the course of two to three weeks. Talking us through the behind-the-scenes and actual creation, Jaye said: Once you are happy with your dress design, a 50 per cent payment is required to confirm your dress order." After you receive your preliminary quotation, we would have a video consultation call to further discuss your dress and finalise all the details. You will then receive a preliminary design and quotation. "The first step is to simply reach out to us via email or our website, and let us know the wedding date, the desired style dress, and inspiration photos of wedding dresses. None of the staff at Loop is preparing to say 'I do' right this minute, but we know others just like us what to know about the process to secure a design by Jaye. "At Bliss Bridal we specialise in wedding dresses. We also make bridal accessories such as veils, trains and belts."

So why do people seek out Jaye and Bliss Bridal? This Wedding Week we chatted with the creative beauty to pick her brain a little bit. One favourite memory was working with our lovely bride, Geri, who was 22 weeks pregnant She had her ceremony, but she wasn’t able to have her reception. In fact, Jaye shared, "Our most affected bride got married on January 2, 2021, just when the national lockdown occurred.

"Our brides have been moving forward with their wedding plans."īut for the brides, the journey to the altar has not without challenges. Many brides were no longer able to travel to the US to buy a dress, and were therefore looking to have their dress made locally made. When some may have spoken about contractions in business, Jaye has been flourishing thankfully.Ī grateful Jaye told Loop Lifestyle: "Bliss Bridal did well last year. This is Jaye's new brand and it has been able to make a mark in a very competitive industry in spite of COVID-19.
