What made you want to focus on bridal design and how did you get your start?

I started my brand after my wedding. I designed my own wedding dress. I always loved bridal or I should say I was always obsessed.

How have bridal trends changed since the pandemic hit?

My bride is still the same. Very timeless, elegant, and fashion forward. She knows what she wants!

What are the biggest trends for 2022? Clean, sleeves, tailored.

What is your approach to bridal party style? I love pastel colors. Especially sky blue!!

Are there certain bridal trends that you’ d like to leave in the past?

Illusion necklines and a very deep sweetheart neckline that plunges.

If a bride is indecisive when choosing a gown, what advice would you give her to help her make that decision?

Put the dresses on back-to-back to see what kind of emotion she has. It is such an emotional purchase.

What would you say to brides with a destination wedding?

Think about the destination and choose the bridal gown that will work in the setting. For example, lighter gowns for beach destinations.

Are there any celebrity wedding looks you’ ve worked on that stand out for you?

Diana DeGarmo wore one of my gowns and it was all over People magazine and online blogs. She looked absolutely stunning!
