She's also eco-conscious, and offers the absolute sweetest designs in cotton eyelet. Perfect for summer brides, and just begging for you gals with a bit of a retro edge. Thank goodness I'm so broke - otherwise these would turn me into a 2 dress bride in a heartbeat!

Amy-Jo believes “A wedding gown should be comfortable and beautifully lined so the woman wears it like a second skin . . . the whole component moving with her as if it is part of her body.” I say Amen to that! What bride would argue? You? I didn't think so.
She also does adorable veils and flower girl dresses. Prices start at $1,000 for custom designs, and $500 for samples - perfect for some of you broke-ass brides out there who want a custom gown without the customary insane price tag!
Check out her blog, too: Bride Chic is a great wedding fashion resource.
Yay for independent designers making breakthroughs in the bridal world!
