Designer Spotlight: Kelly Faetanini

08.02.17

 

An Interview with Kelly Faetanini

In honor of our first trunk show of the season, we have a special showcase of one of our newest designers, Kelly Faetanini!  In this interview we breakdown the inspiration, dress favs and features of the newest Spring 2018 collection, as well as, a little shopping advice from the talented designer.  Be sure to schedule your appointment for this event from August 4 – 26 here!  We can’t wait to see YOU in one of these beautiful gowns.

Without further ado….

 

How did you begin your career in the bridal industry and as a designer?

Growing up in Sandusky, Ohio, I learned the fine art of tailoring from my grandmother. I took this passion with me to the International Academy of Design & Technology in Chicago where I graduated with a degree in Fashion Design. After a successful career as the head designer of the Jewel by Priscilla of Boston Collection, I knew it was time to establish my own eponymous brand in 2012. I wanted nothing more than to create beautiful, luxe gowns that felt classic and timeless with modern details so that every design felt special and unique for every bride!

 

What was the inspiration for the Spring 2018 collection?

The inspiration for the Spring 2018 collection was Shakespeare and dark romance.

Hints of black balanced by touches of barely-there blush blend together to create this season’s Kelly Faetanini Spring 2018 collection of “dark romance.” Inspired by Shakespeare and innocent feelings of seduction, each bridal gown is equally romantic mixed with a sexy edge. Black lace, underlays, and feathers pair with whimsical floral details and corsetry seaming to highlight artistic elements in a truly wearable way. Find illusion laces and shimmering effects on fabrics, such as tulle, silky stretch satin, and let your imagination take you away.

“The earth has music for those who listen.” -Shakespeare 

 

Using three words, how would you describe your bridal style?

I would describe my bridal style as timeless, romantic, and contemporary.

 

Do you have a favorite dress from this collection?

I really love every piece. They’re all a part of me. I really love the black laces we used this season.

 

When brides are searching for their dress, what 2-3 pieces of advice would you provide?

  1. Don’t judge a gown by it’s hanger appeal. Every gown is uniquely shaped and although you may not like a certain silhouette based on the way it’s hanging, I always tell my brides to try it anyway because it might surprise them.
  2. One thing that I see so often is brides struggle to choose a gown that their friends and family like. Everyone has their own taste, so sometimes what friends and family want to see the bride in is different than what the bride envisions herself in. Ultimately, brides should remember that they need to follow their heart and choose a gown that they truly love themselves. At the end of the day, the bride’s family and friends will think she looks beautiful no matter what she chooses!
  3. I think brides feel such pressure to make a “statement’ with their wedding dress; they just go for the ‘wow’ factor without being true to their real personal style. With my collections, I want brides to feel glamorous but also confidently comfortable. My top advice would be to stick to styles you know you feel good in. When you’re in a gown that feels like yourself, you will never have any regrets with your choice. Your wedding day look should just be your best version of your everyday self, stay true to your personal style and you will look (and feel!) amazing.

Preview of Our Fall Trunk Show Calendar

06.12.15

We are so jazzed about our Fall lineup of trunk shows! If you are unfamiliar with these special shopping opportunities, Trunk Shows are special in-store promotions or sales events when gown designers send expanded offerings of their new line to stores for brides to preview, try on and order. Often, salons will offer a special promotion or discount during a trunk show. One of the best things about trunk shows is the opportunity to see and shop the latest wedding gown designs, straight off the runway.

The name “trunk shows” comes from how the gowns used to be transported from salon to salon – in trunks! Here is a sneak peek of our Fall Trunk Show schedule, so mark your calendars!

Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are known for their timeless elegance, sophistication and most especially their attention to detail. All of the dresses are finished by hand, including the beading and their signature hand rolled roses. Every hem is finished with lace right down to the petticoats. Alvina Valenta bridal gowns are made of the finest silks, satin shantung, and satin organza to name a few.

Over at LuLu’s in the Dallas Design District, we’ll be featuring the newest gowns from Pronovias.

Hailing from the world-renowned Spanish design house, Pronovias gowns are glamorous, sophisticated, bold and majestic. Innovators in the bridal industry, it was the Pronovias Group who brought the “prêt-á-porter” or ready-to-wear concept from the fashion world into bridal. Pronovias gowns are decidedly feminine, designed to celebrate the female shape. Whether simply elegant, lavishly embellished or lace covered, Pronovias gowns are constructed with the utmost quality and are always fashion forward.
