We shopped in several large cities for my daughter's wedding dress and were not able to find anything that came close to her vision of what she wanted to look and feel like on her special day. In fact, the more we looked, the more everything in the bridal boutiques all started to look the same!Then we found RC. We could not believe we were so fortunate to have this incredible, internationally acclaimed designer right here in Grand Rapids!RC is not only an extremely talented designer, he is an amazing, caring person. Through several design meetings, he listened intently to Emily's ideas and enthusiastically responded with sketches and designs that perfectly captured what she was expressing. Her wedding dress is beyond magnificent.While working on her wedding dress, he designed a fabulous feather trimmed jumpsuit for her reception. Beyond our wildest dreams again!At the same time, he designed a spectacular combination outfit for me that magically transforms from an elegant wedding ceremony gown to a fun, unique pantsuit for the reception. I love it!Not to be outdone, the groom and father of the bride wanted to look and feel as fabulous as the bride and mother of the bride. RC came through again with incredibly tailored, beautiful suits for them!Everything RC does is done with extreme attention to detail and with the utmost sense of style and quality. It is absolutely amazing how he incorporated fabric from our bride's dress into our groom's suit for that extra, unexpected touch of style and elegance. And how he mixed fabrics from the mother and father of the bride's ensemble together for a fabulous, very chic touch. We looked so great on the dance floor!From our first conversation, to consulting on the bridal party photography session, to the wedding ceremony, all the way through to the reception, RC was with us, every step of the way, ensuring that every detail on every garment at every moment was perfection. We could not have been more thrilled!RC's passion for envisioning and creating extraordinary, breath taking designs made Emily and Nate's special day come to life as the fabulous fantasy, dream wedding they had envisioned. We highly recommend you meet with RC to allow him to share with you how he can make your next event pure magic.

RC, is your fairy godfather. He will make your dream dress come true. Your ideas, his knowledge from being a renown international designer, leads only to the most breath taking designs.RC, designed all the dresses for my bridesmaids for the rehearsal dinner, and of course my wedding dress. I didn’t want a dress of the rack, I wanted a unique dress that was all about who I am. RC, not only achieved this, but exemplified perfection. I had multiple ladies at the wedding approach him and ask if he could do dresses for various events for them. 50 birthday, 30yr anniversary. To which he said absolutely. He is loved and admired from his fellow designers to all of his clients. August 7, 2021.Love you and the staff…Amy

Good afternoon. Let me start by saying Thank you to R.C. This is my second Marriage but it is even more important to me than my first. As you go through life you realize who you are and the partner that best fits who you have become and where you want to go. Well, I have been lucky enough to have found my partner. But, there is where my challenge really started. I bought many wedding books, online researches, designer inquiries, visits to boutiques, and of course watching SAY YES TO THE DRESS. I wanted a Sapphire Blue dress, with other shading of blues. Try and find a Blue wedding dress, NOPE. Not the Norm. After sending out at least 20 inquires to Michigan designers in the Detroit News and out of state and receiving no responses from anyone. I stumbled upon R.C. on Facebook. I reached out to see if he would have the time or desire to assist me. R.C.'s response ABSOLUTLEY. So, we are in the middle of designing my wedding dress for next August 2021. Please stay tuned. We will be posting updates of the design and the finished product. He is FABULOUS, and he has become family. All My love Amy

I’ve had RC on my radar for quite a while. I spotted his booth at a bridal show a few years back and I’d held on to his card until it was finally my turn. I told RC I wasn’t interested in a traditional wedding gown. My piece needed to be entirely unique - RC delivered my dream dress. One of a kind and entirely unique. The design process was smooth as he listened to each and every one of my ideas and made swift changes the second I wanted to take the look in this direction or that. His attention to detail is immaculate and his team are a force to be reckoned with. He helped me pull together details and create the vision I had in mind. He was with me every step of the way all the way up to my wedding day. This man is much more than a designer. He’s a truly incredible individual with a heart of gold and kindness you don’t always find in the industry. I am forever grateful for his work and the time he spent with me throughout the process. You’ll feel like royalty in his studio. Book with him. You won’t regret it.

I had RC made my custom made bridal gown for my wedding last 1-18-17. It is a destination wedding and he lives in Michigan and I live in Alaska, so imagine the challenge right...he only asked for my measurements and he sent me the sample made of muslin that was just one time and the next time I got to try the DRESS was on the day before my wedding and it fit perfectly no changes needed to be done. Just goes to show how great he is in his craft..... he deserves the 5 star rating.I strongly recommend him to anyone, he listens and will take all your inputs into mind make you the gown of your dreams exactly how you envisioned. CALL NOW !!
