“I love all my brides!”
Posted by Ashley Abboud on Wed, Oct 19, 2011 @ 08:02 PM
Meet Kimberly Wehrbein, designer for Omaha Lace Cleaners. An honors graduate of the University of Nebraska Textile and Design College, Kimberly has been working as a bridal design consultant for over 20 years. Her passion is your complete satisfaction in designing, redesigning or altering your gown.
Referring to her brides as “blessings”, Kimberly told a story of a mother calling, desperate for help with her daughter’s gown. Her daughter had just returned from serving in Afghanistan, and her gown no longer fit properly. Having less than a week before the big day, Kimberly immediately booked the appointment and worked diligently to ensure the gown was ready. The daughter, mother and sister of the bride were so thrilled, they not only hugged Kimberly many times over, they attempted to tip her for her services! Refusing the additional payment, Kimberly told them that their happiness was all the thanks she needed.
Kimberly’s repertoire includes vintage gown restoration, flower girl dresses, custom veil and jewelry design. Another beautiful example of Kimberly’s talent was a bride who wanted to wear her mother’s gown for her own wedding, but wanted to customize it to fit her style. Kimberly took the original gown, with long sleeves and a full skirt, and turned it into a beautifully chic strapless gown while preserving the delicate lace detail on the bodices of the dress. The bride and her mother were so thrilled, they sent Kimberly photos of the original gown on the mother’s wedding day, and then the new bride posing with her mother in the redesigned gown.
These are just small examples of the care and attention to detail you can count on with Designer Kimberly Wehrbein.
Prior to Kimberly working with Omaha Lace Cleaners, Kimberly and her co-workers would refer brides to Omaha Lace exclusively for their gown care.
