Today, we are getting to know Trish Lee of Trish Lee San Francisco. Trish’s collection of handcrafted wedding gowns (here in San Francisco!) are vintage inspired with a timeless design that shies away from the often mass produced trendy looks of today. Abiding by the old-school mantra of great fit and quality fabric, Trish’s gowns are bespoke and unique to each and every bride. Check out Trish’s Real Brides section on her website to see the ways in which Trish’s clients took inspiration from their heritage and passions to create the perfect dress and wedding day celebration.

Q: Music wise, I am currently listening to ______.
A: San Francisco’s own: Tycho – the perfect melodic ambient electronic music for a long drive or to design wedding dresses, apparently!
Q: Favorite thing I currently have hanging in my closet is ______
A: My mother’s red coat. I don’t even wear it – it’s ill-fitting and the buttons are scuffed. When my mother came to the San Francisco in the 70’s, she spent her last $50 on this double-breasted wool pea coat in poppy red, and I can’t throw it away.
Q: What’s your favorite restaurant in the Bay Area?
A: Heirloom Café, hands down. Simple, great, unpretentious fare served in what feels like your grandma’s dining room – with the wine list of a Michelin restaurant to boot.
Q: Why are you most excited to be working with the Stacy McCain Event Planning team?
A: They really understand people and relationships. In today’s crazy wedding world, that’s really something.
