Flattering & Affordable Couture Carried by Lana Addison in Cary NC

The lovely and charming San Francisco-based Amy Kuschel is one of the more playful bridal gown designers. Her line has been a staple at local NC wedding dress boutique Lana Addison Bridal, so we at SB&G have had the privilege of watching her style evolve over the past several years.

At NY Bridal Fashion Week lat October, we took a peek at Amy Kuschel’s 2016 collection. This year’s line takes inspiration from various “decades of fashion” – but her signature shapes that are form fitting and oh-so-flattering have remained consistent. From deco to disco, this
sophisticated collection pulls the best features of each decade and offers something for every bride.

Fine fabrics, playful lace patterns, and best of all, moderate price points are what you’ll find with Amy Kuschel. Peruse the website where you can search gowns by theme, fabric, silhouette, or neckline. We think you’ll fall in love. And when you do, plan a visit to Lana Addison bridal boutique, located in a historic renovated home in downtown Cary, NC, where these wedding dresses are available. Owned and operated by Alexia and Michael Joyce (and named for their daughter, Lana), who also own Alexia’s in Raleigh, this bridal boutique will give you the experience of feeling like the blushing bride that you are!
