Portraits of Real Brides: Courtney
Courtney came to our in-house designer and Artistic Director, Nancy Barrus, with great expectations of a uniquely beautiful wedding gown. Nancy got to work sketching Courtney’s vision, suggesting haute couture elements, and fitting the bride perfectly for her custom wedding dress. The result was an original gown that reflected Courtney’s personal style and individuality.

When asked about her experience, Courtney said that Nancy was “a dream to work with”.
Courtney recently lent her wedding gown to a girl friend, Sarah. Afterward, Courtney brought the gown back to Avenía Bridal to be fixed and rebuilt like the original. Nancy took new fabric along with fabric from the actual dress and restored the gown to its original state.
“My wedding gown is an heirloom-something to give to my daughters to wear or use pieces of,” said Courtney.

Courtney is a hairdresser at Vision Salon and Day Spa in Draper, Utah and is currently expecting a baby! She is having a little girl, due on September 21, 2010 and is excited for Nancy to custom make her daughter’s baby blessing dress.
“It looks like we’ll be clients of Nancy’s for a long, long time”, says Courtney.
Congratulations Courtney! We wish you and your family the best.
