You are here: Home > About Us

Hi! My name is Christianne Brunelle, and I am the Designer and Founder behind Custom Couture Bridal.  When planning my wedding in 2001, I found myself in your situation. I loved two dresses each for different elements: one for the back and the other for the skirt. I couldn't afford the $5,000 + it would have cost to have this dress custom made locally. (At the time, buying a wedding dress online did not exist.) I even sketched out the dress as I wanted it having no idea that this sketch was the beginning of a new career in bridal fashion!

My background in both design and business has turned into the perfect foundation as the Designer & Founder of Custom Couture Bridal. I feel I am really living a dream since I get to help brides from different countries realize their ultimate dress while doing something I truly enjoy.  If you are able to shop with us in person at our store in Montreal, I would be pleased to meet you.


Our Boutique in Montreal





Our Mission


Our mission is to help brides look their absolute best on their wedding day by making custom made wedding dresses of very high quality at an affordable price. Brides can have a custom design made based on various sources of inspiration, or choose a gown from our in-house collection. Regardless of the starting point, all gowns are made of luxurious fabrics and meticulous hand-detailing. Brides can customize their gown in terms of several aspects: the length of train, the hem, the closure, and others to ensure that it is perfect for her.

Our Designer & Founder


Christianne has a diverse background including a degree in Architecture, an MBA from McGill, plus many years of corporate management experience at a Fortune 500 company.  She is also a bridal designer with an innovative boutique in Montreal: Christianne Brunelle Couture Nuptiale.

While helping a friend shop for her wedding dress Christianne realized how much of an unfilled need there was in the market for women to have a real influence on the design of their wedding dress at a reasonable price point.  She  put her design and business skills together to launch a customizable line of wedding gowns later that same year.  The collection addresses many of the issues she discovered while shopping for her own wedding dress: 
*All gowns are custom made therefore eliminating "surprise" alteration costs
*Simple yet sophisticated designs
*Pure silk gowns at a reasonable price point
*Innovative features like pockets, detachable trains  and dresses than convert into cocktail gowns

A year later Christianne opened up a   bridal store  in the heart of Montreal's trendiest neighborhood. In an incredibly short time the boutique has become one of the most recognized destinations for bridal fashion in Montreal - no easy feat for a clientele with fashion-forward taste that Montrealers are known for.
