Dressing Up with Sarah Kolis

We’re back with a special edition of the Real Bride Series. Instead of sitting down with three brides, we paused the series to feature one bride and her mother for a meaningful, full-circle conversation about weddings, family, and the power of thoughtful design! You’ll hear from Sue Cronizer (Mother of the Bride) and Emily Barto (the Bride) as we walk through every layer of their wedding journey—from a custom, couture-level mother-of-the-bride gown to a multi-generation vintage dress redesign worn straight onto the dance floor, and everything in between! In this episode: Sue shares what it was like wearing a completely custom silk satin organza mother-of-the-bride gown, why natural fibers mattered for a California destination wedding, and how a late design change led to the dress she felt the MOST beautiful inEmily walks us through her Carmel Valley wedding, her bold color palette, her unforgettable reception reveal, and why wearing her mom’s (and grandmother’s!) wedding dress as a second look was one of her favorite decisionsTogether, they talk about the often-overlooked importance of the mother-of-the-bride role, honoring family history through vintage redesigns, and why trusting your vendors makes all the difference!Connect with Emily:  Website: https://www.epcfit.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/epc_fit/ Her Wedding Photographer: Kelley Williams Her Planner: Cork & Vows  If you have questions for Sarah to answer, send an email to hello@sarahkolis.com Connect with Sarah:  Website: https://sarahkolis.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/sarahkolisdesigns/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbh7HlVmyj9N5VsleuySxcQ
