"What I love about being a designer is watching the transformation of the dress going from a flat piece of fabric to a visual and physical expression of the bride's desire to be uniquely beautiful and special.

I love being part of the process that helps the bride have clarity of vision as well as a joyous spirit."  -Bess Nobel
