Here's what some of our clients have to say . . .
"I
worked directly with
Christina Hurvis on the
design and production of my
wedding gown. She is such a
pleasure to work with and is
so creative and attentive to
detail. Her professionalism
really impressed me and I
loved her atelier - it is a
wonderful, off-the-beaten
path destination. You will
really feel special and
taken care of when you work
with Christina - you don't
have to look any further for
a couture gown!"

"I knew the minute I walked
into Christina¹s showroom,
an artist¹s studio rather
than a typical bridal shop,
that I had found the right
place to get my wedding
dress. Christina is
personable, energetic, and
fun, and also an amazingly
talented designer. Her
dresses are unique and
unexpected, elegant, and
extremely flattering. In
addition to that each one is
custom made and fit to
perfection by Christina
herself. When I first saw
her Rivoli dress, I couldn¹t
believe what a perfect
reflection it was of me and
of my style and tastes. And
through discussions over the
months that followed of
every detail and the way it
fit every part of my body,
it incredibly became even
more so. Magical is the only
way to describe the way I
looked and felt on my
wedding day. Thank you,
Christina!!"

"Christina Hurvis designed
the dress for my January
2005 wedding, working with
me to incorporate my likes
and dislikes to create the
perfect gown. I knew it was
perfect when so many friends
told me how the dress was
"exactly me" and "reflected
my style to a T". Christina
is not only a talented
designer who is open to
clients' ideas but is very
easy to work with and a true
professional. Thanks,
Christina, for making my
happiest day that much
happier!"
~ Ingrid T.
"My wedding was on the beach
in Mexico and I had chosen a
very simple, sheathlike
dress. I wanted to keep the
look appropriate for the
environment but to add some
drama and elegance.
Christina came up with the
most amazing veil. It
reflected the look of a
Mexican lace mantilla but in
a totally modern, elegant
and refined way. The veil
was the signature look. She
designed it in such a way
that when the breeze blew,
it perfectly and gently
flowed. She worked with my
own vision to come up with
her unique and very couture
design and she is a pleasure
to work with."
