THE DESIGNER
My passion for fashion design began early on, and after obtaining a dual major in Apparel Design and Fashion Merchandising, I went on to specialize in bridal design. From my time in New York City working alongside Allison Webb, I have excelled my skills in luxury gown pattern making, draping, production, and embellishment design. I specialize in couture fashion design for the modern bride providing unique and luxurious wedding gowns for our clients that truly capture their vision.
God has blessed me with a talent to be able to share my passion with brides and young girls all over.
SHAWNA MARINO
I believe that every girl deserves to feel like a princess on her special day. My passion for design began when I was a young flower girl myself, and had a custom dress made for me. It was a magical and unforgettable experience and I bring that same passion to every dress I design. I have a appreciation for luxury fabrics and customizing each dress with unique embellishments. I believe that the fabrics speak for themselves in creating designs that accentuate each gowns style. I want ti instill in all my clients that life is all about the moments that curate lasting memories; because that is what remains steadfast through time.
