The Peppermint Pretty offers retro-inspired gowns for the modern bride. The company is made up of designer and owner Erin Coleman, with seamstress support from Jane and Lisa. This Kansas City-based collective specializes in custom and vintage-inspired wedding dresses.

Weddings mean expressing your personal style as a couple while celebrating the most special day of your life. I absolutely love weddings and bridal wear – I have many ideas that I want to bring to life, which is why I design custom and vintage-inspired wedding gowns.

I start with an overall design and allow the bride to also have some creative input. I think that’s a service not a lot of large wedding gown designers or companies offer.  It’s a very hands-on, personal experience for the bride, as well as for me, the designer. By the end of the process, I feel as though I have an understanding of the bride’s personal style and how she wants to communicate that through her gown.

There isn’t a “type” of customer who chooses the Peppermint Pretty line, but I tend to attract lot of tattooed brides, those who love the classiness of vintage fashions, or women who are just in the market for something really unique.

"Some design inspiration has come from movies— “Summer Holiday” was directly inspired by a vintage-style dress that Zooey Deschanel wore in the movie "500 Days of Summer." I also feature a design that is inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding gown."
