About this listen
What do custom couture gowns, Paris Fashion Week, EA Games, and business analytics have in common? Marie Adornato.
In this episode of Because Marie Said So, Marie dives into the creation of her wholesale bridal brand, Adornato Couture — born out of frustration with big-name bridal bullies and reimagined as a solution for brides and retailers. From designing European-inspired dresses that flatter every figure to creating personalized wardrobes for modern weddings, Marie breaks down how her brand is shaking up the bridal industry.
She also shares a behind-the-scenes look at being a professor at Syracuse University, mentoring future entrepreneurs, and why she sees herself less as a business owner and more as a problem solver.
Whether you're a designer, dreamer, or just bridal-curious, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and the kind of entrepreneurial real talk only Marie can deliver.
