February is the month we celebrate Black History. In honor of celebrating black heritage and accomplishments, I will like to acknowledge all the great designers who are opening doors in the bridal industry. There are only a handful of  designers that we know that design bridal couture gowns. The bridal market is a lucrative business but yet we still do not see many designers of color. I believe fashion is not about race but about creativity and art.  Today, I will showcase the designers who are stepping out and showing the world that you too can make beautiful wedding gowns and make a bride’s dream come true. Today we celebrate you!
