Planning & Process
Maison Knottiserie is a pre-wedding atelier devoted to the artistry and heritage. We create bespoke bridal gowns, tailored suits, fine art invitations, editorial photography, wedding jewellery, and curated keepsakes—all crafted to shape the story before “I do.”
Knottiserie is a Maison—a single house of artistry where every element is created under one vision. Couples entrust us to weave all the preludes—fashion, paper, photography, jewellery—into a seamless, intentional journey.
Maison Knottiserie is founded in San Francisco, shaped by the elegance of French couture and realised through the living craftsmanship of Asia. Couples travel to us from around the world to experience bespoke creations. Our ateliers and artisans in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam bring this vision to life, blending Parisian refinement and London tailoring with the intimacy of Asian artisinal heritage and artistry.
Our concierge and client-facing team work primarily in English and French, while our artisans are supported by in-house translators to ensure seamless communication throughout your journey.
Discover Our Heritage
Yes. Every gown is designed for one bride alone, every suit cut for one groom. Nothing is off-the-rack or replicated. Each piece is conceived to reflect your personal story, style, and vision.
Absolutely. We offer complete custom attire for bridesmaids, groomsmen, and family members, ensuring a harmonious aesthetic while honouring each individual’s fit and style.
Yes, Knottiserie is designed as a destination experience. Couples travel to Japan, Korea, or Vietnam for fittings, photography sessions, and design consultations that encompass every element of their wedding preparation. The journey itself becomes part of the prelude—an experience as meaningful as the pieces it creates.
Our Pre-Honeymoon Package allows couples to blend their creative journey with travel. Alongside fittings, photography, and atelier visits, we curate experiences that allow you to explore local culture, cuisine, and landscapes—turning the prelude into a memory of its own.
Yes. While many couples choose to make the Pre-Honeymoon Package an intimate experience, we also welcome parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen, or the entire bridal party to join. Their presence often adds to the joy of fittings, photography, and celebrations, and we can tailor the journey to include them seamlessly.
View Our Packages
We recommend booking 6–12 months before your wedding to allow enough time for intricate customizations. This allows ample time for fittings, design refinements, calligraphy, photography, and the creation of keepsakes, ensuring that nothing feels rushed.
Simply begin by purchasing one of our base packages. This secures your place with Maison Knottiserie and ensures we can begin preparations immediately. Once your package is confirmed, our concierge team will connect with you to refine details, confirm customisations, and guide you through the journey. We find this process gives couples peace of mind—your commitment comes first, and all artistry follows seamlessly.
Yes, each couple begins with one of our three signature packages. Once chosen, you may enhance your journey with add-ons—whether bespoke accessories, expanded photography sessions, or additional keepsakes. This structure ensures clarity and simplicity from the start, while still allowing your experience to feel entirely your own.
Most couples spend 7–10 days with us in Japan, Korea, or Vietnam. This allows time for fittings, photography sessions, and design consultations, as well as the opportunity to enjoy the cultural and travel experiences we curate for each location. For more intricate creations or extended celebrations, your stay can be tailored to suit your schedule.
Only your wishlist and an inspiration board. From there, our team will guide you through every stage—from the first sketch to the first fitting, and from the first design consultation to the first photograph. Everything else is taken care of within the Maison, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
You are welcome to travel light. While many couples enjoy taking select pieces home with them, Maison Knottiserie offers fully insured international shipping for gowns, suits, invitations, and keepsakes. Each item is packaged with the same care in which it was created, ensuring it arrives safely wherever in the world your vows will be spoken.
At Maison Knottiserie, each journey requires careful preparation and reserved time within our ateliers. But we also understand that sometimes plans must change.

 Should this happen, we offer the following:
• Wedding Prelude Packages may be cancelled up to 30 days prior to your scheduled experience, with a full refund.
• Pre-Honeymoon Travel Packages may be cancelled up to 60 days prior for a full refund, given the extended travel arrangements and curated experiences involved.

Beyond these windows, reservations are non-refundable, as atelier time and travel arrangements will have been secured exclusively for you.
