Wendy’s connection to A Stitch in Time goes back to her years in luxury bridal, when she first got to know Anne and Olivia through Claire Pettibone. Years later, Olivia helped with Wendy’s own wedding look, including a piece from her French Love collection, and was the one person Wendy trusted with her dress that day. Their professional relationship grew into a friendship, making joining A Stitch in Time feel like a natural full-circle moment. With nearly two decades in bridal, Wendy brings an experienced eye to every detail and quietly notices what the bride or wedding party needs, so the bride can feel calm, look beautiful, and enjoy her day.
