Clarissa's Bridal Salon, est. 1981
This salon is more than just a bridal salon– it is a full-service shop. In additon to its gorgeous selection of wedding dresses, Clarissa's offers elegant pieces for the Mother of the Bride as well as gowns for those other special occasions. In the past five years, Denise Duyn and Kathy Lawrence, sisters, have outfitted women for Grammys, the Emmys and the Oscars. They have fitted businesswomen, singers, and executive's wives.
The dresses produced are a class of their own, between couture, which produces one of a kind, custom-made pieces, and ready-to-wear clothes found in regular department stores and botiques. The shop can take your measurements to fit a customized gown for your next event and have it ready in 6 - 12 weeks.
As quoted by Kathy Lawrence in the May 2008 issue of Diablo Magazine, "The dresses, which range in price from $400 to $4000, are primarily for women in their thirties, forties, fifties, and sixties—very stylish, youthful and chic. Tasteful without being matronly."
Please make an appointment to stop by and see what Clarissa's is all about!
