I spent a week this winter wandering the streets of Paris with the kids, while G was off at work up in La Defense. We found every park we could, munched on way too many pastries, and had an all-together lovely time as I introduced the littles to the city where I fell in love […]

This summer, I’m headed back to France with two custom gowns, and an incredibly full heart as Abby Grace Photography and I launch The Signature Atelier; an intimate destination workshop for photographers just outside of Paris, France.

This custom wedding dress for a beautiful & intimate wedding just outside Paris, France is one for the books. I adore all of my brides, and I’ve been blessed to have some pretty incredible ones, but this one… I don’t even know how to put it into words. Réanna is like a sister. She and […]

You know the thought right?! All the dresses look beautiful lined up next to the bride, but most are worn once and forgotten. […]

So it’s no secret that I married into a French family, and have spent a LOT of time bouncing back and forth between Paris & the states. And if you’ve been following along for a while now on instagram you know it’s no secret that I LOVE good classic style, and my married-into French roots are a […]

One of the first questions I hear during each and every consult with my brides is, “What will the dress be made out of?” They want to know whether it’s silk or polyester, what the fabric will feel like, what it will look like, and how it will move. And most importantly, whether or not […]
