Alexandria (Monette) Cardenas here! When I first entered the wedding industry in 2015, I promised myself I would create more thoughtful, meaningful experiences than the ones I encountered while planning my own wedding. My journey began behind the camera as a wedding photographer, where I witnessed love in its rawest forms—brides slipping into gowns, parents holding back tears, couples sharing both quiet nerves and unforgettable joy. Those moments showed me that what may appear to be “just a dress” is actually something deeply symbolic, personal, and powerful.

That perspective shaped my path when I founded Love Era, a bridal shop rooted in heritage and heart. The inspiration came from two sources: my late grandmother Maggie—who taught me to sew, to dream, and to love design—and the countless brides who entrusted me with their most meaningful memories. Together, they inspired me to reimagine what a bride’s experience could be: uplifting, encouraging, and truly special.

Amorette is the next chapter in that vision. Born from the desire to offer brides fashion-forward minis that feel just as significant as their gown, Amorette celebrates the events that surround the aisle—the after-party, the shower, the rehearsal. Each dress blends exceptional craftsmanship, effortless customizations, and fresh fashion perspectives at attainable prices, designed to give every bride a piece of luxury for every celebration.

Amorette exists because your love story doesn’t begin and end at the ceremony. It’s in every laugh, every dance, and every unforgettable moment along the way.
