Having sewn since she was a little girl, Martha earned a degree in Home Economics in Textiles and Design from the University of Tennessee. She traveled the world with her husband, who was an officer with Army Intelligence, until they settled back in her hometown of Maryville, TN, where she opened a bridal shop.
Something old, something new, something blue… from Vintage Bride.
For 41 years, Martha designed for her brides. She designed a line of flower girl and First Communion dresses as well as custom Christening gowns, some from family bridal gowns brought in by her customers.

Her Christening gowns are as multi-layered as her wedding dresses, with detachable skirts, slips, and under-skirts created with the same detail as the outer dress.

Some of these dresses can be refashioned for later ceremonies, as the child grows.
