My passion for bridal started in 1989 when my extraordinarily talented mother became head of alterations here at Wendy's. She mentored me for three years as I tailored and learned textiles and fit for bridal. By the early 1990's I was working 1-on-1 with brides and styling them; I loved it. I never lose sight of the privilege of helping a bride find the perfect gown for her big day and seeing her glow when she finds the right dress never gets old. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 38 years. We have two terrific grown sons and two amazing daughters-in-law. When I'm not working with brides my favorite things are playing with my four fun-loving grandchildren, spending time in nature with walks, and dipping my toes in the

sand. I thrive on my faith, music, good food, coffee, and of course wine
