The joy of my reimagined wedding dress by Laurie Brown is beyond words. 
I lost my mom to cancer many years ago and I knew I wanted to have her part of my wedding day in a meaningful way. I can say with certainty I wouldn’t have embarked on this journey to modernize my mother’s wedding dress had it not been the trust I had for Laurie’s creative process and skill. 
She listened intently to the vision I had but also brought so many incredible ideas to the table that were beyond my imagination. 
She was so thoughtful in the touches to maintain the dress’ integrity: keeping the zipper and detailed lace, creating a new skirt out of the leftover fabric and preserving a piece of the neckline as a necklace. Yet she brought a modern and editorial edge to the design in a way that if I had tried the dress on in a store, I would have bought it because it was perfect. 
I couldn’t recommend working with Laurie enough!
