jo Leo, the new upscale Bridal Boutique in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California featuring exclusive European designers.

jo Leo Bridal, the new name in luxury bridal gowns, opened their doors in March in Carmel, California. jo Leo Bridal brings a fresh, couture experience to brides searching for their designer wedding gown .

“I have always had an interest in fashion design, and wedding gowns are often the most expensive and important fashion that a bride will purchase,” Owner, Rosa Jo explains when asked what inspired her to open her new European bridal boutique in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

With a focus on exclusive and quality gowns, high level of customer service, and a guaranteed focus on personal treatment for each bride, jo Leo Bridal boutique sets itself apart from others in the industry.

“Eventually we’d like to expand to other small, upscale wedding destination towns,” says Rosa. “We can not only provide an exceptional experience for those shopping for designer gowns, but we can contribute to the economy by inviting people to spend a night or a weekend in the area when they travel for our trunk shows or to choose a gown.”

When it comes to creating a dream wedding dress shopping experience, the jo Leo team works closely with each client.

“Pre-appointment interviews help us to really get to know the Bride and what she is looking for. This makes the appointment as efficient as possible by already knowing what is important to her in terms of style, designers, and price” she explains. “During the two-hour one-on-one appointment, the bride receives our full attention and VIP treatment.”

Rosa is always on the lookout for upcoming trends in wedding fashion and believes recycled fashions and old traditions will continue to gain momentum. Judging by the current trends, she also predicts that soon we will see Vogue promoting the support of small boutique businesses and unique venues.

What sets jo Leo apart from other sellers of wedding gowns is Rosa’s focus on quality gowns and her desire to support small businesses.

“I believed that a Bridal Boutique that exclusively carried quality European gowns would compliment the romance and beauty of the City of Carmel by-the-Sea. Bringing this dream to life, our goal is now to make our brides lives even easier by making this popular wedding destination a one stop shop for brides to find both their venue and dress in one trip. But we don’t stop there, we are so proud to be able to support designers that are truly focused on quality and beauty rather than mass producing gowns of lesser quality,” says Rosa.

Brides will have the opportunity to choose their gown from among jo Leo’s curated designers. They will also feature up and coming new designers periodically to give brides additional options to discover their truly unique wedding gown. One of the designers, My Secret Sposa, is exclusive to jo Leo Bridal in the United States. Other designers include Eva Lendel, Pronovias, Wona, and Rosa Clara. The success of the quality and types of dresses available can be seen in the many brides who have found their dream dress here. “There are many,” Rosa notes. “They are brides who rave about the exceptional quality, service and the unique high-fashion selection we carry”.

In introducing Rosa and her new upscale bridal boutique in Carmel-by-the-Sea, it’s clear that she values the bride’s experience above all else.

“I really want to focus on educating brides about the whole wedding planning affair,” she emphasizes. “They should understand their time is valuable and it is highly recommended they do some research on dresses and boutiques before committing to so many appointments.” For jo Leo Bridal it’s all about helping each bride find the dress that matches their wants and needs.
