Needless to say it was an early 5 o'clock morning for us but a fun busy day.

Cady Briar Trunk Show



After graduating in 2004 from The University of Delaware with a degree in Fashion Merchandising , Sara entered into the Fashion industry accepting a management position with Nordstrom’s. In 2005 Sara was ready for a life change, she packed her bags and moved across the country to San Diego.
It was in California that Sara discovered her true passion. Feeling inspired by her roommate who was designing a collection of jewelry and handbags, Sara began creating her own collection, making them by hand, literally. “I had to hand stitch each handbag as I did not have the resources to purchase a sewing machine,” Sara says. “ I then realized the potential in using popular social networking sites to display my work and I realized there was a demand for my product. My clutches were a huge hit with my girlfriends and I knew I had stumbled into something special.” The orders began to increase and the first investment into her business was the purchase of a sewing machine by her supportive parents.
“I knew I found a niche when I discovered Etsy.com an online handmade market place,” she explains. “Etsy allowed me to market and sell my product online to millions of consumers worldwide. It also served as a great resource for acquiring the raw materials needed to produce the products. When sales began to taper off due to the crash in the economy, Sara was searching for new ideas on who to market her product to when she discovered the Wedding Industry.
Sara found a niche in the virtually recession proof Wedding Industry and she began to design custom handmade bridal clutches. “I have always been in love with weddings since I was a child watching a Wedding Story on TLC so to be a part of this industry felt right. She started marketing her pieces as “custom made to order” which allowed for her clients to select different styles, colors and embroidery options to create their own purse and coordinate with the rest of their look. The concept was a huge hit and Sara received instant demand with this market, creating custom pieces for brides, bridesmaids, mothers and friends. Etsy not only brought individual clients to Sara but also specialty boutique owners, fashion editors and bloggers who were looking for fresh styles from up and coming designers. Her pieces are now being sold in stores throughout the country and are receiving press from blogs, print magazines and online publications.

Sara has an amazing eye for detail. You can come in the store and enjoy her special trunk show now through May 3rd.

Fun Marketing!!!

We had the pleasure of filming some segments with San Diego Wedding Scene last week. Thank you so much to Gene and Braja for including us! Be sure to check us out in 4-6 weeks. We will also be featured with Bridal Insider in a few weeks on TV as well as a few other fun ventures!

My Fair Wedding...



We have our own celebrity in the store!!! The fabulous and amazing Adelena with Studio Fiore was in the store last week with an amazing centerpiece. She was featured on all the weddings for My Fair Wedding With David Tutera last season and will return this season!


 Whenever styling an event, Adelena always keeps the environment in mind. She prefers renting containers over selling them, repurposing flowers from the ceremony site to the reception, using soy candles over parfafin,  designing plantscapes for continued enjoyment, as well as making other sustainable choices that reduce the environmental impact of the event.

Whether your event is for a large scale  corporate event production for eight hundred or an intimate dinner party for eight, Studio Fiore will exceed your expectations. We specialize in weddings, corporate events, weekly house and commercial accounts, holiday installations, set design, as well as any space that you would like us to imprint your vision.

Studio Fiore serves the greater Southern California area, but also consults and travels to destinations beyond. The possibilities are limitless!!
