After searching in vain for "The One", Sareh decided to design I come from an art background and there are elements of art that are similar in designing dresses. I was always inspired by art. I loved to paint at an early age and took lessons from a prominent painter in Iran. I never got tired or bored from anything that was artistic and I always went back to it. During my college years I geared towards graphic design since it was digital and artistic and got my degree. In 2009 when I was looking for my own wedding dress I had a hard time finding the dress I was looking for. I decided to design my own wedding dress! After my wedding I moved to the New York Metro area. I fell in love with the bridal industry and started working for a high-end bridal salon. Working at the salon was like fashion school for me. I learned the fabrics, cuts, and what the brides were looking for. I met couture dressmakers who also motivated me and it all came together. her own wedding dress. NThe highlight of my design career happens every time a bride to be is wearing a Sareh Nouri gown and says, "this is it". It's an incredible feeling that inspires me to continue. ot only did she wear her dream gown, but Sareh also found herself on the path to realising her dream of becoming one of the top bridal wear designers... 3,750

Designing a gown takes time and patience . You will be surprised how detailed designing a gown is, from picking out the fabric, doing the sketch, and working with the sample makers. Even if you have a perfect vision of what you want it could all change in the process.

Advice for Selecting the Perfect Wedding Gown

Sareh shares her pearls of wisdom for brides searching for The One - their perfect wedding dress.

• A wedding gown is an emotional purchase. I always tell brides to do their research, but to stay open-minded. We must remember that just because the gowns look gorgeous in a magazine doesn't mean that we will fall head over heels in love when we try one on.
• Pick the styles you like (sleeves or no sleeves, full or slim-fitting, trumpet), but it could change once you try them on!
• And be honest with your consultant regarding budget and in the end you will benefit by finding "the one".
