If you told little me — the flower girl twirling down the aisle in too many weddings to count, or the little girl dressed as a bride on Halloween — that one day I’d be helping nearlyweds find their dream dresses for a living, I would’ve believed you immediately. Bridal has always been part of my story. My Abuelita Mary and I spent hours watching Say Yes to the Dress, dreaming up details like curling my hair and having a mariachi at my wedding one day.

My professional path began in 2012 when I packed up from Chicago and moved to New York City for an internship at Kleinfeld Bridal. Six months later, that internship became a full-time role where I spent three years working alongside designers, learning the ins and outs of styling and accessories, and falling even deeper in love with bridal.

From there, I broadened my experience with Pronovias, Enaura Bridal & Blossom Veils, and later Brideside, a Chicago-based startup where I expanded into full bridal party styling — coordinating palettes for bridesmaids, flower girls, and families while keeping each look cohesive. After moving home, I rejoined the boutique world at Bella Bianca in Chicago, where I didn’t miss a beat.

Across these years, I’ve styled brides, families, and wedding parties across the U.S. and beyond. I’ve sold $14,000 veils and sourced $100 accessories with the same level of joy. I’ve helped traditional and nontraditional brides, local and international families, and even discovered a soft spot for styling Mothers of the Bride & Groom. I bring to every appointment a mix of creativity, calming energy, and genuine care — because this isn’t just about dresses, it’s about people feeling like their most confident selves.
