What makes Mizz Rio different from other bridal shops in Ireland?

Mizz Rio is Ireland’s Editorial Bridal House — a private couture studio, not a traditional boutique. No rails of identical dresses. Every gown, veil, and cape is handmade to reflect your story, style, and vision.

Do I have to wear a white wedding dress?

Not at all. We specialise in colour, sparkle, and editorial details — from couture sequins to soft blush tones and heritage-inspired embroidery. If ivory isn’t you, we’ll design something that is.

Do I need two wedding dresses for day and night?

No. We create transformative gowns — detachable skirts, overdresses, and couture capes — so you can shift from aisle to after-party in one design.

How long does it take to make a couture wedding dress?

Most gowns take 6–9 months from your first consult to your final fitting. Rush options are available, but we recommend booking early so the process feels creative and stress-free.

Do you design veils or capes with Irish symbolism?

Yes. Our Daughters of Ireland collection features veils and capes hand-stitched with Celtic-inspired motifs and protective symbolism — ideal for Irish diaspora brides or anyone who wants heritage woven into their look.

Where are you based, and do you work with brides abroad?

We are based in Ireland and work with brides across the UK and worldwide. For international brides, we offer virtual consultations and tailored fitting schedules.

Are Mizz Rio gowns sustainable?

Yes. Every Mizz Rio piece is made-to-order, meaning nothing is mass-produced and there’s no fabric waste from unused stock. We handcraft each gown, veil, and cape with couture techniques and timeless design, so your look is created to last and can be re-worn or transformed after your wedding day.

Do you design for all sizes?

Absolutely. Because each gown is designed and cut to your exact measurements, size is never a barrier. Unlike traditional boutiques with limited sample sizes, we create every piece for your body from the start — so you’ll feel comfortable, confident, and seen throughout the entire process.

Are alterations included in the price of a Mizz Rio gown?

Alterations are not included in the gown price — they’re a separate service because every bride’s journey is different. Most brides need 2–3 fittings to perfect their gown, and this step is essential for a couture finish. All alterations are carried out in-house by us, so your gown never leaves our care. If your body changes in the months before the wedding, we’ll adapt your dress so it fits beautifully on the day.

ACCESSORIES

I started Mizz Rio for the women bridal shops forgot — the ones who want to feel like themselves, not someone else’s idea of “bridal.”

After years designing for the stage, I learned that the right piece changes how you move through the world — with power, ease, and truth.

That’s what we do here. Whether you’re honouring heritage, breaking rules, chasing colour, or craving simplicity — we begin with you.

One bride. One space. No pressure. Just possibility.

If that sounds like you, welcome home.
