Hi,
i’m gabi
MANAGER | EXPERT STYLIST
WHERE DOES YOUR PASSION FOR BRIDAL COME FROM?
My passion for bridal has solely stemmed from my personal experience being a bride. Going through the dress shopping process was what I looked forward to the most, and my experience was everything that I hoped for. Being an Ivory on Campbell bride myself, I strive to provide an unforgettable experience and deeply value the opportunity to create lifelong memories for brides and their loved ones. I am so lucky to be working alongside the same amazing women who sparked this passion for me!
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WISH BRIDES KNEW BUT YOU CAN’T TELL THEM?
Finding your wedding dress doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t have to bring a ton of people or call everyone you know to ask their opinions. Finding “the one” can be as simple as a feeling. Finding the dress is feeling like the most beautiful and confident version of yourself while also wanting to bottle up that feeling to remember every time you wear and look at it. That’s the dress that you want to live in your memories.
WHAT’S ONE OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN BRIDAL?
Working at Ivory on Campbell has given me so many amazing memories and opportunities. I am so passionate about every aspect of working in this industry - from working so closely with brides to find their perfect dress, to the core of bridal fashion and buying and curating the perfect selection to bring to our brides. I think one of my favorite memories was being in NYC and literally running in 4” heels from back to back fashion shows and showrooms so that we could see as many dresses as possible in one day!
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING IN BRIDAL?
Just 4 years! It feels like so much longer, but time flies when you’re having fun - and I’m having a blast.
WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT OUTSIDE OF WORK?
My little family is what makes my world go round. Spending time with my husband and my son and watching the world through his eyes is something I cherish. My husband and I enjoy rock climbing and just generally being outdoors! I am also an artist at heart so I love to create when inspiration sparks.
IF YOU COULD GIVE YOUR BRIDES ONE PIECE OF MARRIAGE/WEDDING ADVICE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I think this goes for both wedding planning and marriage advice: If it feels stressful, you're doing it wrong. There will inevitably be hard moments, but it should always feel fun, easy, and exciting.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS DESIGNER?
My favorite bridal lines are Martina Liana and Martina Liana Luxe! Martine Harris, the head creative director and designer herself, creates unique and elevated designs that are easily distinguishable from other designers. In each beautifully curated collection there is a bridal gown with every fashion-forward bride in mind, from the classic and chic look to elevated and modern uniqueness.
