The youngest in the spread,  Floresca’s start in bridal design was a rocky one. “The first wedding gown i made was a complete disaster!” he reveals. “But I did my best to fix it, and after revising it three times, it came out really nice.” Since then, young brides have gone to him, perhaps enticed by the white finale gowns of his fashion shows (they are always the first ones to sell). “I really didn’t plan on making bridal gowns my business,” Floresca muses, “but it’s really a calling.”
