I often get asked how I started French Meadows, and the truth is, well… sort of by accident! It all started with this 14 piece collection I designed for my senior thesis project. Wait for the end to see a French Meadows wedding dress ✨
Behind the scenes of me making my blue taffeta bustle skirt 💙
A lot of you may not know this, but I worked in bridal for several years before (and while) starting French Meadows. While working with bridezillas and stabbing my fingers with needles 100x a day was not exactly my favorite thing, I learned so many valuable skills (like bustling the skirts on HUNDREDSSS of wedding gowns 🥵) that have helped bring me to where I am today.
If you feel like you’re at the bottom of where you want to be in your career, or skill set, or any progress you want to make in life, just remember that every season in life is just as important as the one that comes after it. Dream big, set goals, work at them one step at a time, and when you look back years later you may be surprised just how far you’ve come! Even the most intricate wedding gowns are made one stitch at a time 🌼
