While at market in New York last Fall, Gilda Sadighi, owner of Gilda's Bridal Collection, met the editors of Shoeholics Magazine. They fell in love with one of her original designs and asked to use her dress in their Spring bridal issue. The magazine just hit the newsstands as well as online.

Gilda has been a force in the local wedding industry for some time. She is a renowned hair stylist and makeup artist and bridal beauty is a forte. Over the last few years, Gilda has been designing her own bridal line and displaying her fashions, along with other select designers, at her boutique on Gallows Road near Tysons Corner.

To make room for this latest round of fashions from bridal market, the salon is running a sample sale through May 6. You can save up to 50% on designer wedding gowns from Rosa Clara, Pepe Botella, Rubin Perlotti, Maria Karin, as well as Gilda's own designs.
