Well…have one custom designed! I recently had a chat with Virginia Vo, who I fell in love with after seeing the two gowns she designed for her recent engagement shoot. She has such an amazing gift for design, and I know she is going to be very successful…very soon. Just you watch!
When did you start designing dresses and how did you get started?
The passion for designing and bridal fashion has always been instilled in me. I’m constantly sketching pictures of dresses and just waiting until one day I can actually see my visions come alive. It was not until planning my own wedding that I was inspired to pursue this as a business. I am really excited and flattered with all the positive responses I have received about my designs.
So when is your big day? Are you designing your wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses?
I am getting married on November 1st of this year! Although I had many thoughts of designing my own wedding gown, I was very fortunate to find the perfect dress of my dreams. I do have itchy fingers, so I’m not saying that I wouldn’t add a little bit to it! For my 6 bridesmaids, I wanted to give them the autonomy to select “the one” dress that ALL would agree on and love. However, with the selection I made subtle changes to my two maid of honor’s dresses and one matron of honor’s dress, so they will stand out from the rest.
How would you describe your style?
That is a great question! I really don’t know if I have a style yet, but if I had to pick three words to describe my vision it would be: “simply elegant”, “stylish” and “glamorous”. Also, when I designed my dresses the most important thing was to accentuate what I don’t have…which are curves. I’ve always loved mermaid dress but never looked good in one because I had no curves. Haha! Well after many sketches and trial and error, I realized it was all in the eyes and that the eyes could be fooled with a few rouging and pleats!
So how can one contact you if they are interested in a custom designed gown?
