In 2021 I had my first bride with a Cocomelody dress. It was custom made, gorgeous and affordable by most custom dress standards. I began referring them frequently and even had the opportunity to work with them. They featured a few of my weddings on their blogs.In 2025, a bride of mine brought one of their listings to my attention because it seemed "off." She was right to be suspicious - this listing was clearly a photograph ran through AI to change the background and model's face. I did some further digging, and found that there are dozens of listings just like this on their website. On a simple Google reverse image search on a few of these photos, I found that Cocomelody was stealing designs from at least six different designers (likely more!)Over the past several months, I have been trying to get in contact with someone at Cocomelody to give me an explanation about this. I've only received one response from Ella with their Online Stylist Team who stated that "AI-generated images have become the mainstream standard in our industry, which is why we rely on them." As a bridal photographer myself, this is entirely FALSE. The bridal industry is not advertising with AI, because that would be fraud. Ella completely ignored half of my email, which was asking for confirmation if they are partnered with these brands whose dresses they are showing in the suspicious listings. After half a dozen emails being ignored, I have taken it upon myself to reach out to those other designers. So far two of those designers have gotten back with me confirming that they have NO PARTNERSHIP with Cocomelody and that these listings are FRAUDULENT.This used to be a wonderful bridal company. Unfortunately, they have decided to change their ethics and have fake listings on their website. You can find some of the people who have fallen victim to these fake listings in the other reviews on their website, Yelp, and Reddit. DO NOT PURCHASE YOUR GOWN FROM THIS COMPANY.
