ABOUT ERICA E KOESLER
Times may have changed, but the appreciation for pretty things has not……..
After 25 years of designing wedding accessories in the bridal industry I left to free myself from the creative restrictions that come from the business of manufacturing.
After taking a few years off but continually receiving requests from brides looking for something different, I eventually found my way back to my beloved bridal career. Across the worktables of my studio I began designing with attention to detail, incorporating the many skills I have acquired throughout the years, which lends a unique style of my own to the collections.
The Internet has paved the way for the ability to sell my collections directly to the bride and permits me the creative freedom I have always longed for. All pieces are handmade, using the finest materials available from around the world, yet still keeping the retail price within reach. I also enjoy working directly with brides to see the entire process from start to finish, assuring that all of my designs will be a personalized & lasting treasure promoting the bride’s own self expression.
Much of my day-to-day life is spent in my highly personalized studio, which is an extension of my home & myself. When I am not happily hidden away in my lovely space, I enjoy working in my garden, making a mess in the kitchen & walking in the local hills of Los Angeles with my sweetheart.
I am a vanilla lover & I like things nice!
Many thanks,
Erica E Koesler

The collection is handmade with a truth to the process of creation & use of the finest materials.

Although I gather my inspiration for new designs from many different sources, including the rich resources of history, much of it comes from the beauty of the materials used in my collections. I enjoy watching period films with accurate reproductions of past fashions. I also keep a keen eye on what people are wearing on the streets and transform these ideas into my bridal accessories.
