By Appointment Only Bridal Boutique...


On May 8th, I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Opening Night of the Ashton Station Bridal Boutique in Carleton Place.

Nestled in an old church, Luigi and Tracy Porcari have renovated the space into a beautiful, modern boutique that provides brides with
high-end bridal gowns designed by Canadian designer Rita Vinieris. In talking to Rita, I'm inspired by her creativity and vision. She is truly a fashion icon in the Canadian wedding industy with presence in many of the International runways, including New York.

Ashton Station is by appointment-only. This offers brides the chance to share their first moment of trying on wedding dreses, with their closest family and friends. The boutique currently offers not only many Rivini dresses to try on but also shoes, headbands and jewelry.

Luigi and Tracy's story was shared by the Ottawa Citizen. You can find the article at: "Say yes to the dress".
