LUCIO VANNI: Mother of the Bride

Last week at Lucio Vanni Bridal & Couture, we had the pleasure of finishing, and handing over, a custom-made Mother of the Bride dress to our fantastic client, Gene.

Gene found us by googling "mother of the bride dresses in Cleveland". She went to numerous departments stores, but could not find anything that she loved, so she sought out our services because she knew we did custom gown work. We sketched out exactly what she wanted, picked out the perfect fabrics, fitted the gown perfectly to her body, and made sure she was happy with the results every step of the way. Gene wanted to an open back, sleeves, and purple fabric, so we made sure to give her what she wanted. We used Purple French Chantilly Lace, Silk Organza, and Silk Taffeta. The finished garment ended up with a beautifully open, yet covered, lace purple back with gorgeous purple covered buttons for closure.

After talking to Gene at her final fitting, we asked her how her experience was, and she said it was wonderful. She was honest and said she was nervous in the beginning, but she knew Vanni had great expertise and experience in what she does, and Gene trusted her and knew it would turn out perfect. And she was right. Gene was thrilled when she saw her garment finally finished and brought to life. Watching the process of how her garment was created, from start to finish, was Gene's favorite and most interesting part of her experience because it all started with a sketch.

We are so happy for Gene and her family, and more than that, we are thrilled at how much she is in love with her gown. To quote her, "I have never found better results anywhere else."
