As a Wichita wedding photographer, nothing makes my job easier than a bride who feels completely herself. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Vanya Designs – the only true Wichita custom wedding dress atelier where every couture gown is designed and handcrafted from scratch right here in Kansas.
Vanya Designs isn’t an off-the-rack boutique. It’s a couture atelier where every gown is created completely from scratch in their Kansas studio. You won’t find rows of sample dresses here. Instead, you’ll step into a collaborative, creative experience that begins with your vision and ends with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece made exclusively for you.
“Our brides aren’t just shopping; they’re stepping into a story that begins with their vision and ends with a gown made just for them.” – Vanya Designs


From your very first consultation to the final fitting, the team at Vanya Designs takes the time to truly see you — your style, your personality, and the love story you’re celebrating. It’s never just about the dress. It’s about honoring your voice and creating something that feels unmistakably you.
Brides who choose Vanya Designs consistently share one magical moment: the final reveal. When they step in front of the mirror and see their completely custom gown for the first time, everything clicks. The searching, the Pinterest boards, the “what-ifs” — it all melts away. They don’t just see a beautiful dress; they see themselves — confident, radiant, and utterly at peace — long before they ever walk down the aisle.

On the fence? Here’s some helpful advice from Vanya Designs.
“If you’re the kind of bride who wants something deeply personal – something that reflects your style, your values, and your love story – custom is worth exploring. You don’t need to have every detail figured out. That’s our job.”
Bring inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, family heirlooms, or even just a feeling. The designers will ask the right questions and guide you toward a gown that feels like home when you wear it.

The ideal timeline is 8–12 months before your wedding date. This gives plenty of room for dreaming, sketching, fabric selection, multiple fittings, and those magical final tweaks.
Shorter timeline? Don’t rule it out! Vanya Designs sometimes accommodates rush orders depending on availability — just reach out.
Here’s exactly what you can expect when you say “yes” to a Vanya Designs gown:

Vanya Designs crafts custom veils to perfectly match your gown, plus a carefully curated collection of jewelry, garters, and bridal accessories.

“Come with an open heart and body positivity. Just like you found the man of your dreams who loves you unconditionally, you deserve a dress that makes you feel the same.” – Vanya Designs
If you’re a Wichita bride (or planning a destination wedding here in the heart of Kansas) and you want a gown that’s as unique as your love story, I can’t recommend Vanya Designs enough.
