Bridal is very much a performance - it is the one grand event in every woman's life.

I love when brides tell me they want to do something special and unique, but I'm not a fan of doing anything too crazy.

I love intimate details like lingerie, something like a gorgeous silk stocking or exquisite slipper.

For theater, the fashion had to have a certain grandeur that would read on the stage while also flattering the actress. The same thing applies when doing a wedding dress, but the treatments can be more delicate and there can be much more detail.

No matter how much I try to be plain, people don't accept me, so I might as well be fabulous.

When designing a collection that is traditional, that has one specific sort of garment like a white dress, I think just being constantly attuned to trends really help.

I think in the bridal world you definitely have to be on your toes at all times.
