Create Your Custom Wedding Day Look with Be Everthine
You may already know Be Everthine for its range of custom bachelorette party clothing, favors and gifts, but its bespoke wedding gowns are worth a second look. The brand, founded by Eileen Schilly-Seefried, brings a fresh approach to bridal fashion. Based in North Carolina’s Triangle region, Be Everthine works with clients nationwide and has become a go-to destination for brides seeking a unique, custom look for their big day.
The Story Behind Be Everthine
Be Everthine began with a simple but heartfelt mission: to create customizable bachelorette tank tops for Eileen’s sister’s wedding. What started as a small, personal project has since blossomed into a full-fledged bridal and custom apparel business, offering everything from cheeky bachelorette tanks to fully custom bridal gowns. Eileen’s background in fashion, combined with her love for design, has helped her build a brand that stands out for its creativity and personal touch.
Designing a Custom Wedding Gown
For brides dreaming of a one-of-a-kind dress, Be Everthine’s custom design process is a collaborative journey. It all starts with an inquiry form on the website, which kicks off the consultation. During the initial call, Eileen will get to know your style, vibe and vision. She’ll walk you through everything from color preferences to fabric textures (check out the mini collection she designed for Heart of NC Weddings for inspo!) She then creates a personalized mood board and design packet, including fabric samples and pricing details, to guide selections.
The design journey continues with a series of sketches and pattern work, often in collaboration with Eileen’s dressmaker. The process is tailored to each client’s needs, whether it’s a sleek mini dress or a full-length formal gown, and can be as simple or involved as the bride prefers. For the best experience, Eileen recommends reaching out three to four months before the wedding date, though she’s sometimes able to accommodate faster timelines.
Customize Your Wedding Look
Be Everthine also offers two levels of customization:
- Minor Customizations – Simple tweaks like adding sleeves, changing length, or choosing alternative fabrics are available on most gowns in the collection for a small upcharge.
- Full Custom Designs – For brides with a clear vision or those seeking something truly unique, this option allows for entirely bespoke creations.
This flexibility makes Be Everthine an excellent choice for brides looking to break away from traditional wedding attire. Whether it’s a blue ombré gown, a chic jumpsuit, or a dramatic sheer overlay, the possibilities are endless.
Staying Ahead of the Trends
Eileen’s eye for trends is another standout aspect of Be Everthine’s brand. With a background in visual merchandising and art, she has a knack for spotting emerging styles before they hit the mainstream.
Recent favorites include sheer fabrics, corseted bodices, and bridal separates, allowing brides to mix and match for a personalized look that feels both modern and timeless.
Make a Statement with Be Everthine
If you’re a bride who wants to stand out, Be Everthine is the perfect partner for bringing your wedding gown vision to life. With a focus on high-quality craftsmanship, personalized service and on-trend designs, Eileen and her team are ready to help you shine on your big day.
