Roseanna Martino has more than 25 years experience in bridal design, restoration and custom fitting. She began her apprenticeship working alongside her grandmother, an Italian designer in Milan. Her formal education was completed at Florida State University where she graduated with a B.A. degree in Textiles and Design. “Roseanna Martino, owner of The Altered Bride, cares about her clients so much that she ends up attending more weddings than a clergyman and often stays in touch with brides well into their married lives. Her personal attention and her handpicked assortment of gorgeous gowns (most are her own designs) are two the reasons that her store is always humming. Her staff is trained to treat brides like they've never been treated before, and they can be there on the big day to make sure everything is perfect. An on-staff seamstress makes for one stop shopping, and the Altered Bride is particularly adept at turning heirloom dresses into modern masterpieces. Martino's frankness ensures that you won't end up with a dress that's unflattering, but she's so sweet and capable that she's like the fairy godmother every bride deserves.” Maria Guarino, our seamstress extraordinaire, has 35 years experience working on bridal gowns. Her sewing and designing background includes 31 years at Priscilla's of Boston. She worked closely with the original owner of Priscilla's, Priscilla Kidder, handcrafting special gowns for the daughters of Lee Iacocca, Ted Kennedy, Nat King Cole, and Alan Alda, to name a few. Her fine hand work and knowledge of lace and luxury fabrics is comparable to none. |
