When brides-to-be walk through the doors of the Mon Amie Bridal Salon they begin to understand why they have been told "You just have to go to Mon Amie". After more than thirty years as a family owned business in Orange County, this local landmark is a must-see destination! Every bride who comes to Mon Amie is awestruck, not only by the sheer number of designer wedding gowns and accessories, but how highly personal the service is.

Beginning a new and exciting phase in the history of the internationally renowned bridal and bridesmaids design house, Alvina Valenta, Jessica Williams has been named its new head designer, parent company JLM Couture announced today.
"There's a very unique family environment at JLM, which to me is so very appealing, compared to the big corporate culture. It's extremely supportive," Williams noted.
"The collection has always been beautifully proper and refined," said Williams. "Although my designs will continue to reference classic Alvina silhouettes, I also plan to introduce a soft, youthful touch with more airiness and fluidity that will give the line a dreamier, more romantic look."
Alvina Valenta gowns are known for their timeless elegance, sophistication and most especially their attention to detail. One of the collection's most successful looks is the fluted silhouette.
Williams said she plans to update the sophisticated tradition of the line by introducing new silhouettes, combining a mix of different beading and fabrics.
"I expect this fresh approach will soften the collection, giving it a more organic feel," Williams said. "Of course, we will always look to the runway collections recognizing and respecting the more enduring trends introduced there.
