Industry Expert,
and Executive Sales Manager
Launch Bridal Group

 

“My love for bridal was born out of the opportunity

to launch a couture Israeli bridal brand in the heart of London.  

 

It was a dream job for me,

and I’ve been in the bridal industry ever since.“


Andrea has worked closely with brides from around the world. This experience has provided an understanding of the desires of a modern-day bride, from bespoke couture gowns, managing the fitting process and providing exceptional customer service in a luxury environment.

Andrea developed a passion for the bridal industry, and her ability to deeply understand the retail side of selling and problem solving in addition to her passion for sales and challenges, were decisive factors that led her to shift to wholesale.

A deep knowledge of the European and International markets and cultures is the key for her to develop the best and most successful partnerships possible between brands and retailers.

“Relationships are the foundation of what’s important. Once you establish that relationship, you naturally develop a sense of utmost importance toward your retailers. They become like family.”


Identifying a need for couture designers to be represented by knowledgeable and trusted bridal experts, LAUNCH Bridal Group was created.

Merging sales excellence with couture design and luxury retailer support, Launch Bridal was established to push brands and stores to achieve excellence in bridal.
