[Photography by Jennifer Driscoll]

We just received these gorgeous photos of our bride Genevieve from her photographer Jennifer Driscoll. We were lucky to meet Jennifer when she stopped by our studio recently, she is such a charming and talented lady. She did an outstanding job on these photos and we are excited to work with her in the future! As for the bride, Genevieve was such a pleasure to work with and we had a wonderful time turning her ideas for her dream dress into a reality. Her dress is completely custom and is not part of our regular line, doesn’t she look stunning in it?! Genevieve was kind enough to send us an incredibly sweet note about her experience working with us and we were equally as thrilled to be working with her. Congratulations Genevieve!

“I, like many brides, went to every store in Chicago searching for the perfect dress. I always found something that just wasn’t perfect. After talking to Alice, and seeing her beautifully made dresses, I knew I felt comfortable having her create the dress of my dreams! Her studio is gorgeous and Alice and her husband AND Svetlana are so sweet and so professional. Today was the first fitting after the muslin and my dress is becoming EXACTLY what I was looking for. It’s absolutely stunning. I FINALLY put on what made me feel like a bride. Alice helps tweak everything and puts her creative touch on to help create exactly what I’m asking for. She made the dress I had in my mind even BETTER! The fit is perfect, the fabric is perfect, I cannot say enough! I truely cannot wait until my wedding day! Thank you so much Alice, I will always send future brides your way!” -Genevieve

Our lovely bride Yuko recently sent us these photos of her Hawaiian wedding. We were blown away by how gorgeous her photos are, the Daphne dress, Sasha headpiece and Victoria veil look wonderful with the light and airy backdrop of her Hawaiian location. Congratulations Yuko!
