Wedding dress designer at war with bride over $10,000 gown

A wedding dress designer has caused a social media storm after she accused a popular influencer of not paying for her custom gown despite repeated reminders. 

Cenderra Ca'Zanthia, the owner of Casze Atelier, has alleged that Colorado-based hair stylist Raylee Rukavina 'stole' her heavily-detailed wedding dress - claiming that she did not pay the remaining costs and blocked all communication between them. 

Ca'Zanthia made the bombshell accusation days before Rukavina's big day in a now viral TikTok which included a short clip of the smiling influencer trying on the dress during a fitting. 

'Raylee has our dress and won't pay us the balance. It's a bridal gown and at this point, she will not return or pay her balance, so the dress is stolen. If anyone has any information about this Colorado bride, let us know!,' the raging designer wrote.

In a later video, Ca'Zanthia explained she had shipped the rush order made dress to the hair stylist a few days before the wedding and sent her final invoice on email as well as on text messages. 

The designer went on to claim that she attempted to contact Rukavina multiple times to collect her final payment but did not hear back after it was delivered to the influencer. 

Since then, Ca'Zanthia has launched a GoFundMe page to raise $12,500 to recover the damages including salaries, legal and overhead costs. 

The designer explained she needs the money to 'fight back for the possession of the custom gown and/or payment for the final remaining balance due'. 

But while the atelier owner claims that she was unable to get in contact with the bride and her family, Rukavina's sister has refuted the accusations and instead blamed Ca'Zanthia for her lack of communication.

Ca'Zanthia had made the bombshell accusation days before Rukavina was set to marry David Wells

In a statement released after the influencer's wedding to husband David Wells, sister Mckenzie Tyner revealed that Rukavina had already paid a majority of the costs. 

'[Raylee] put 60 percent down for payment. Her final dress fitting was canceled two days before their agreed appointment. The designer also failed to show up for the agreed Zoom meeting after canceling the final fitting,' she told Distractify. 

The supportive sister further said that Ca'Zanthia had lied to the family about shipping the dress and provided a fake tracking number - leading to it being delivered only two days before the wedding in the wrong size. 

Tyner also hit back on Ca'Zanthia's claim that the dress was priced at $10,000 and instead said that the full price was only $6,290, out of which $3,774 had already been paid by the bride before the dress was made. 

'The bride and her mother tried to communicate with the designer, but there was no willingness whatsoever on her part. They requested a return label to ship the dress back to the designer. 

'Understandably upset, the bride and her mother decided to table the entire issue until Monday to frantically find a dress that would work for Raylee to walk down the aisle.'

 Sister Mckenzie Tyner later said that the bride and her mother were forced to find a replacement dress after the original gown was delivered in the wrong size. PICTURED: The bride wearing a different dress at the altar

The publication managed to contact sources related to Ca'Zanthia who admitted that the bride had indeed provided a down payment for the dress but there was never a Zoom call or additional fitting scheduled.

In the past week, Rukavina has been forced to disable all of her social media accounts and business pages due to an influx of comments about the situation. 

Husband David Wells has since also issued a statement claiming that Ca'Zanthia was paid half the amount beforehand and since they received the dress, attempts are being made to ship it back.

'As probably most of you have heard we are going through some social media attacks right now with my wife's dress. This designer has taking this way to far and is making life difficult. We did not steal this dress. 

'The designer had half payment before the dress arrived and we have been trying to ship it back to her but she is refusing to take it. Let alone we didn't even use it and that is proof. I understand people are getting messages from all these people. I apologize and never thought this could happen but it happens on the daily with social media. 

'Please do not respond and just report them. We are in the works of getting an attorney to end this nonsense. If you know us we do not steal and are good people caught up in a bad situation.'

Ca'Zanthia and Raylee have not yet responded to DailyMail.com's request for a comment.
