Sweet wedding gowns & dresses
Melissa Sweet was destined to become a bridal designer.
While most young girls her age chose bright t-shirts and
denim, Sweet opted for white shirts, dresses and skirts.
As a child living in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, she learned
to sew under the watchful eyes of her grandmother and
mother. Growing-up, Sweet hand-stitched her own garments
and designed white gowns for each year that she attended
the prom.
Sweet left her hometown to further cultivate her
knowledge of design and business at Parsons School of
Design in New York and Bauder College in Georgia. In
1996, she launched her namesake company in Atlanta and
showcased her bridal collection from a historic white
mansion downtown. Sweet was an instant sensation,
drawing attention and praise for her refreshing view of
glamour and modern design.

Sweet's appreciations for
wedding tradition, combined with her acute business
acumen, speak to the success and growth of her company.
After establishing Melissa Sweet bridal, Sweet quickly
developed a nationwide following, selling in exclusive
boutiques across the country, as well as her flagship
store in Atlanta. Once established at the top of the
industry, Sweet expanded her business with the
acquisition of Currie-Bonner for Bridesmaids.
In 2005, Sweet sold her company to Priscilla of Boston
and in 2006 was named design director of Priscilla of
Boston, where she is now responsible for the design and
direction of both collections. The Melissa Sweet and
Priscilla of Boston collections consist of gowns with
luxurious fabrics and exquisite detailing. Sweet's
instinct for scale, proportion and balance, combined
with flattering silhouettes, are a forefront of her
designs. From the sophisticated heritage-inspired,
classic designs of Priscilla of Boston, to
fashion-conscious, whimsical styles offered by the
Melissa Sweet collection, Sweet has captured the
attention and praise of brides nationwide. |
