They met with the bride in the lead-up to the wedding, and they chose silhouettes for each of the women in the bridal party as well as a color that worked well with each individual’s skin tone.

From there, I selected what I liked the best, and we worked together to pick lace as well as a color that I wanted. The whole process took around eight months, but in the end, we came up with the dress that I have always dreamed of.”
