About the Author of Dress for the Wedding
I loved to draw as a child, and creating sketches of “the perfect outfit” was a frequent theme of mine. Later as a student, I'd write every school essay or research paper on fashion and trends, when I could make it fit the assignment. When it was time to get my first job, I initially chose a path in retail, which led me to work for years in women's fashion for several major retail brands and eventually to co-manage a high-end women's clothing boutique in a lovely coastal town for several years.
No matter whether I was helping a customer on a budget sift through the sale rack at the mall, or catering to a client who had the money to buy any dress in the store, I consistently encountered many customers who were in a near panic over what to wear to a wedding. It was then that helping customers style outfits to wear to a wedding became a passion of mine.
Years later after another professional career working with top retail brands in client services, website development, marketing, and copywriting, I created this website with created with the idea of trying to virtually provide the styling services I used to provide in a retail environment and combining it with the fun I have with writing and designing these style boards. My passion is finding new products that might interest my readers.
Having been a bride several years ago, and a bridesmaid and wedding guest many times, I bring these three views to the site and can sympathize with the hunt for the perfect dress and accessories in each role. I have over 27 years in women's fashion, and 13 years in the bridal industry, helping thousands find their dream wedding dress, mother of the bride dress, or wedding guest attire. When creating content for Dress for the Wedding, I'm consistently looking for the latest bridal trends and forming relationships with the major wedding dress designers to share the latest developments in wedding attire.
Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration to find the perfect style so I hope you find it here, and that this blog helps you solve the challenge of what to wear to a wedding.
Enjoy!
