To Sharazi, I had the most beautiful gown. It was absolutely perfect. All thanks to Loyce. You see, I dreamt about my wedding gown long before I was ever engaged, the night after my first date with the man who would become my husband three years later. You can't very well ignore a dream like that, so it was necessary to have my gown designed exactly to my specifications. The process was so much fun. Loyce was great and super friendly and her mother Sarah was such a sweetheart. The amount of work and detail she put into my gown was so impressive that the price of it made me feel like I was robbing her. Loyce found the most beautiful embroidery pattern for me when I was at a complete loss for ideas. She chose the most beautiful samples for the green underskirt on my gown. After very little communication and discussion she developed a very clear image of the gown of my dreams. My gown was done in a very timely manner. I could not have been happier. My wedding was in the woods with nothing manmade in sight. Our guest stood under the trees near a creed with a view of a Chumash cave to witness our marriage. My gown blended right into the scenery, white, with leafy green vines embroidered down the back of the gown and weaving right down to the earth under my feet. Nothing could be more perfect. Thank you Loyce, Francine Bottinelli - May 25, 2003

Dear Sharazi Bridal, I have always dreamed of my wedding day to be the most beautiful wedding in the world, and my gown to be even better. I also knew I would never find the dress I envisioned in my dreams in any bridal shop. I knew it would have to be custom made. I came across the Sharazi web site and almost knew from that moment that the person/person’s responsible for making those gowns, was going to be responsible for making mine as well. The minute I heard that voice (and laugh) I knew Loyce was the person I needed. Once I was able to put my vision into words for her I knew everything would be perfect. It was as simple as that!!!!! With a few sketches and fabric choices we had a piece of art. Most importantly the gown I saw in my dreams. What was even more special was the experience. It was fun sharing faxes of idea’s and exciting watching a dream become reality. Loyce and her mother are an absolute pleasure to know and work with. I am proud Sharazi designed and made my gown. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!! Danielle Dunning - May 17, 2003

To Sharazi, When I first started looking for a wedding dress, I had very little time and didn’t know what I wanted. I ended up buying a dress from store that was strapless and didn’t fit quite right. I need someone to do major alterations. I found Sharazi through the Internet. Walking into the studio and seeing the beautiful handcrafted dresses made me feel instantly at ease - I knew I was in good hands. Loyce was so knowledgeable about everything. She did an amazing job on my dress. She did alterations where there was intricate beadwork that had to be redone and added straps. The dress looked perfect. My only regret is that I bought my dress before I found Loyce! Otherwise, I would have loved to have her make my dress. I highly recommend Sharazi. My best friend recently got engaged and came straight to Loyce. Thank you so much for your kindness, sense of humor, and immense expertise that made my wedding day so wonderful. Thanks for everything! Jessica Barrett Simpson - January 11, 2003

To Sharazi, I really had a great time getting ready for my wedding with Loyce and her Mom! I always so looked forward to my fittings in her cozy, elegant, and artistic studio. The whole experience made me feel so special and pampered. I promise that having a dress made by Loyce is unlike any other “wedding dress experience” out there and all those early days of dress preparation have now become some of my most favorite wedding planning memories. Not only did I get the dress I wanted in the budget I could afford, but Loyce also made me a beautiful veil, free of charge! I had originally decided that I wasn’t going to wear a veil and keep things simple but I learned that Loyce is usually right! The second I tried it on I knew I would be wearing that veil on my special day. It all just worked! Thank you Loyce and to your wonderful Mom for all your hard work and humor and for making my “wedding dress experience” so fun! Sincerely, Kari McGee - November 10, 2002

To Sharazi, When I walked into the Sharazi atelier a scant few months before my wedding, I was feeling overwhelmed, fat and ready to elope. I was greeted by a diminutive, calming force who is now known to me as Loyce. I plopped down in one of her comfy chairs and scattered by books, pieces of fabric, scraps of paper and ribbons from the invitations all over, and began to express what I wanted. What I wanted was not exactly traditional, and I was braced for resistance or a lack of comprehension of the concept, but what I got was genuine enthusiasm, a willingness to hear the ideas, but no fear in giving her honest appraisal. I looked up into her big, kind eyes, and for reasons beyond my understanding, I just knew, in that instant, that everything was going to be all right. I could see that I had been lucky enough to find a true artist by looking at the beautiful work hanging all around me, but her ability to sprinkle her magic dust while staying tuned into the bride at hand (me) is a rare gift. Later, I met her mom (Sara), and as my family was all on the east coast, the two of them became my family here. Throughout my experience at Sharazi, they were forgiving when I was flaky, honest when some aspect of the vision was off the mark, funny when I needed to laugh and ultimately gave me the absolute dress of my dreams. When I walked down the aisle, I was told I looked like a cover of a bridal magazine because everything was slightly unusual, yet so perfectly right. That day I felt comfortable, yet exquisite. I am convinced that Loyce’s work on my wedding ensemble was her best work, and that is the mark of an exceptional designer - because I am certain that every single bride she’s worked with is convinced of the same thing. Thank you Loyce. Love, Tricia Tahara - October 12, 2002

To Sharazi, What you are wearing on your wedding day is the most important part of your wedding day planning. I knew I would entrust this job to Sharazi Bridal after having seen and heard many conversations of her satisfied brides. Some of the brides being amazed just from their sample fitting. Fortunately, I work in the office next door in the same building as Sharazi. With this information, I knew Sharazi was my first and only choice. Sharazi does more than create custom gowns, it is a full service studio which helped me with all of my needs for my wedding day attire. During your consultation, Loyce makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her. Not only did I want the “perfect” wedding gown for my style, but I wanted to be comfortable and still look fabulous. I had an idea of what I wanted, but not exactly. In the interim of looking for other wedding accessories, I just happened to find a wedding gown at an unbelievable price. It was too good to pass up. So I purchased the gown after checking with Sharazi to see if major alterations could be made. I was thrilled that she altered the gown as if it were custom made for me. A perfect fit. Since my wedding was taking place in the evening, I needed a cover up. Loyce was very patient, she took my vision and created a beautiful long silk organza jacket with a small train which complimented my wedding gown. It was beautiful, and the best thing about it, I could wear it again. I can’t tell you how many compliments I received on that day as well as how beautiful and comfortable I felt on the most important day of my life. Loyce thank you for helping me interpret my vision and individual style for my wedding ensemble. A very special thanks to you for taking part in making my day perfect. Happy Bride, Charlotte Murphy-Natche - August 24, 2002
