“Designing a custom Terno Wedding Dress with Jillian Joy was a dream come true: I started following Jillian Joy’s iG account after I saw her Terno dress she wore at a Ternocon in the Philippines a few years ago & saw her 2018 Filipiniana Iglesia Wedding Collection.

“My wedding dress is a true piece of art. We had a Chinese wedding, but none of the cheongsams in stores fit me properly. Then I got pregnant, so that was an added complication. My dream had always been to marry in a terno, but I didn't think I would be able to find one in Toronto…”

“Working with Jillian is absolute magic and a joy. She made my dream terno dress when I could barely express what I wanted - and she did it all in under one month. I wish I had met Jillian earlier in my wedding planning process. I’ve always known I wanted to incorporate my Filipino culture and heritage on my wedding day, and Jillian brought that and more to the table.”

"I loved making my personalized veil with Jillian. She was super sweet and helpful throughout the whole process of creating the idea, choosing the textiles, and trying on the veil. I highly recommend her work!”

"Jillian customized a gown for my wedding. I had a very specific shape and fit that I wanted and knew I couldn't get from any old wedding dress store. Jillian took my measurements, listened to what I wanted and ta-da she created it! I chose a silk taffeta material, imported from Italy, for the whole dress because I wanted something simple and elegant. We added some beading to give the dress a little bit of bling and it was perfect!"

" Jillian made my dreams come true and to top it all off she was an angel to work with, everything was straight forward and she worked well with everyone’s busy schedules. I only have one regret, I wish I had found her before I bought my wedding dress!"
