Liz's   Bridal   Industry Journey

My passion for bridal gowns began when I was eleven years old watching Randy Fenoli on TLC'S Say Yes to the Dress. I  was mesmerized by the beauty of the gowns and was in awe of the way one dress could make a woman light up with joy. I knew that I had to be a part of bridal industry, one encapsulated with glamor, glitter, and galore. After graduating from Flagler College with a BA in Strategic Communication, my first job was at Dimitra Designs, a luxury bridal boutique in Greenville, South Carolina. 

​When the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, I was laid off from the bridal shop and decided to pursue a Masters degree in Luxury and Brand Management at Savannah College of Art and Design. My passion for bridal allowed me to tailor my degree and specialize in luxury and couture bridal. My Masters thesis analyzed the industry in a full scope as I created a mock wedding gown collection and experiential bridal shop. Throughout graduate school, I was a bridal consultant at a bridal boutique  in Savannah. I gained experience in working with hundreds of brides, learning all the tips and tricks of bridal professionals and helping brides find their dream dress.  

​

Since then, I moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. While bridal remained a part of who I was, I knew that just working as a bridal consultant for a local bridal shop was not a practical career for me at the time. As mentioned in my origin story, I worked at a luxury resort and then, I became a store manager for a luxury fashion brand, on the iconic Worth Avenue, in Palm Beach. Despite the perks of being immersed in luxury fashion, I still had a yearning for helping  brides. I truly feel that Browning Brides is my calling and I look forward to becoming a mentor for brides who need help with everything related to their wedding gown!
