Collection Concept

Seven Steps to “I Do” is a bridal collection that integrates God’s Word in an elegant, symbolic approach. In the Bible, the number “7” represents God’s perfection in all things, including marriage. Marriage is described as a holy covenant between a husband and a wife that reflects the relationship between Christ and the church. Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, was sent to earth to die for our sins and be raised to life three days later, modeling the self-sacrificial love husbands are called to emulate. In the same way, wives are called to submit to their husbands so that his heart can trust in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.
This collection draws from Sarah’s personal relationship with Christ and represents her artistic interpretation of Biblical themes. It is designed for brides who appreciate elegant, meaningful design. Whether drawn to the spiritual symbolism or simply inspired by the sophisticated aesthetic, brides will find elements such as fringe, beading, and sequined fabrics. These details, combined with soft, graceful silhouettes and fluid structure, reflect celebration, movement, and the joy found in each stage of the marriage journey. Seven verses are tied to individual garments, each highlighting an aspect of covenant, unity, and love. Together, these designs celebrate the sacred symbolism of marriage, inspired by the relationship between Christ and the church.
