Alessia

Owner

As a young girl living in Italy, I spent my childhood days playing in my mother’s sewing room. I dressed my barbies in wedding gown scraps, put on pretend weddings and dreamed of the day I would own my own bridal shop. When we moved to New York, my mother became an even bigger influence in my passion for design by helping me create my own wedding gown. My family and friends have sought out my eye for fashion when shopping for their special occasions. I have always kept that fire burning and now life has come full circle. That little girl’s dream has come true! Being able to play a small part in a bride's special day is truly exhilarating. I am blessed and humbled to have the opportunity to continue the legacy of past generations, while incorporating my personal flare and creativity. With my heart and soul, my hope is to make each bride's wedding experience enchanting.
