About Grace + Ivory

Grace + Ivory, founded by a once-frustrated bride, is built on the belief that every woman should live their bridal legacy on their own terms. We are a bridal label focused on designing luxe dresses that are customizable, made to measure, and an overall wonderful bride-driven experience. You can try our designs with us at our Chicago showroom, or at pop-up events with our designer, or order samples for try-at-home. Our customizable dresses are attainable for many brides because we work directly with our production team, cutting out traditional markups. Our passion lies in social enterprise and a portion of proceeds from dress purchases supports women's programs.

Tina Wong is the Founder and CEO at Grace + Ivory, a modern, a designed in Chicago bridal label of customizable, made-to-measure wedding dresses, aisle ready veils, and party dresses. After seven years working in foreign aid and business development for non-profits in DC, she took the leap to fulfill her passion for business done better and launched this social enterprise in 2017. She lived abroad for four years, which is where she learned to design gowns and develop relationships with the talented humans who would become the production team for Grace + Ivory. Tina believes that social enterprise is the future of good business and is the way forward to address global development issues, so a portion of each dress purchased supports womxn’s programming. Tina is a proud Chicago native (go Cubs!), dog lover, and Loyola Chicago alum who loves travel (she’s been to six continents!), hiking, wine, and finding ways to support other ambitious womxn in the Windy City.

By designing high quality, customizable, made-to-measure thus size inclusive dresses at attainable value where every dress benefits women-focused programs, we create an amazing, "you"-driven bridal experience. We are inspired by, dedicated to, and benefiting modern women and their champions.
