Our story

As young girls, Guanita and her sister Angelita helped their mom and grandma in the sewing workshop after school. They became fascinated with the craft and learned to adjust garments step by step, making them feel like a second skin.

For ten years, the two sisters worked together until Angelita made a career switch in 2019. Since then, Guanita continues to work with great passion on her dream: wedding dresses. For three generations, Lesage Bridal has been the go-to place for your wedding dress.

New name

After 3 generations, we decided to change the name of our business from Rode Schaar to Lesage Bridal and expand to become the bridal store of our dreams!

Our new name reflects our vision for the future and our commitment to providing excellent service and quality. Why the name Lesage Bridal, you may ask?

 

We wanted a name that captures the essence of elegance, style and sophistication, and Lesage Bridal fit that bill perfectly. By also completely refreshing our interior as well, we are creating an enchanting experience in our revamped bridal store.✨

Our focus remains the same: fulfilling your dreams on your big day. We will be able to offer an even larger selection of breathtaking wedding dresses. With our expert advice by your side, you are sure to find the perfect dress that makes your heart beat faster.❤

Oxford

International recognition

Our passion for the craft did not go unnoticed. A satisfied customer recommended us for the 'Young Talents in Heritage Professions' fair, and we took the chance. As one of only sixteen lucky individuals from all over Belgium, we were selected to continue studying abroad!

Because the jury believed in our story, we got the opportunity to take some Haute Couture techniques courses at institutions such as the Master Tailor School (Amsterdam) and The Couture Sewing School (Baltimore, USA).

Press & Awards

In August 2017, Guanita Lesage also attended a masterclass where she learned from the world's best corset makers during the Oxford Conference Of Corsetry in Oxford, UK. An unforgettable experience.

In 2017, Rode Schaar was officially recognized as a craftsman by the Ministry of the Interior and was awarded the registered label 'Recognized Craft.'
