KATE’S VISION

Kate describes her design aesthetic as artful femininity and believes that all women are Princesses at heart. A wedding gown is unlike any other purchase a woman will make, and she is determined to make a bride’s gown just as unforgettable as the wedding itself.  Her gowns have been described as:

• “off-the-charts phenomenal” – Style Me Pretty

• “timeless and classic” – Eric Daman in COSMOPOLITAN

• “simple yet still completely feminine and never boring” – theknot

• “a signature point of view with a fundamental understanding of tailoring, structure, and essential femininity” – The Glass Magazine
