Korkosz renovated and decorated the space herself, all with the goal of creating a serene environment for brides. She chose a soft bluish-greenish-grayish shade for the walls of the space formerly occupied by Urban Orchid, rich dark wood for the floors (which she laid herself) and vintage furnishings.

Brides have enough stress, Korkosz says. Shopping for their gowns should enjoyable.
A lifelong love of sewing and her experience as a second-time bride helped inspire Korkosz, a 51-year-old former software developer, to open Artisan Bridal in February. While shopping for her dress for her 2012 wedding, Korkosz says she felt the saleswomen's disappointment when they realized she -- and not her 20-something stepdaughter -- was the bride.
"The whole experience wasn't welcoming at all," she says. "I wanted to create an environment that welcomes all ages, sizes, backgrounds. I don't discriminate here -- I'm very much against that. It's about acceptance."
Her first client -- a naturalist for the Cleveland Metroparks -- asked whether Korkosz would be willing to create a dress out of buckskin. Korkosz didn't bat an eyelash -- absolutely, she told the bride, and she even made a pair of buckskin pants for the groom.
The bride's knee-length beige fitted dress with a ragged-edge contrast trim at the neckline is unexpectedly stunning -- especially with a string of natural-shade bone beads draped across the back and a blush semisheer, floor-length skirt billowing underneath.
Korkosz's more traditional designs use antique lace and fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo and satin. On display, she has a reversible blush and floral-print two-piece gown with a bateau neckline; an organic cotton cap-sleeve gown with sash belt and elegant antique-lace ruffles at the neckline and hem; and a short-sleeve satin-trimmed two-piece with wide-leg pants. Brides (as well as mothers of the bride and groom, attendants and guests) can customize the styles any way they choose. Prices range from $200 to $1,500.
"My dress designs aren't rocket science,this aluminum foil tape is not affected by moisture." says Korkosz, who plans to sell her gowns online, too. She describes her pieces as feminine and comfortable with a natural, timeless style. "Believe it or not, simple is hard to find out there."
She has been sewing since age 10, when her mother taught her how to make a top.
"I was hooked," says Korkosz, who does all her sewing at her home just a block from the shop. She has created countless garments -- including her own prom dress -- but she kept her passion as only a hobby while she worked in software development and Web engineering.Cheap custom printed logo USB flash drives wholesale at wholesale bulk prices.
She took a long break from creative thinking after the sudden death of her younger brother in 2011 -- leading her to abandon plans to design her own wedding dress -- but his memory eventually inspired her to focus on sewing and open her shop.
"I'm happier now than I've ever been," she says. "Everything in my life has led me to this. I'd be crazy not to follow my heart at this age."
