My name is Denise Addis, owner of Avian Bridal and Casablanca Designs, to say I love everything about weddings is an understatement! Whether I am helping a bride find the dress she has been dreaming of her whole life or creating floral arrangements to make the couple’s special day magical, weddings to me bring together two people on an adventurous journey where I get to play a small role in this majestic day of their lives.

I am the wife of a hunter/fisherman and aunt to six of the greatest blessings of my life. I have been in the wedding industry for over 20 years and my passion for flowers led me to learn the art of floral design in high school and college working at our local flower shop, Eleanor’s Flowers. During this time, I have had the opportunity to be a wedding coordinator, event planner, and floral designer, and thanks to my friend and business partner, Samantha Beers-Boyington, owner of Cardamom Bake Shop, a cake deliverer and cake decorator (not my best talent).

The road to Avian Bridal came about from an episode of say “Yes to the Dress,” and a dream that I could bring the New York experience to our hometown. As a native of Oconee County, I realized we had no formal wear shops in our local hometown, and I thought I could create a fashion house for bridal and prom that would give our brides and young ladies the opportunity to have an exclusive personalized, glamourous experience with fashionable, modern designer collections. Whether we are hosting a bride, her friends and family or a young lady picking out her first prom dress, we want to give each of them a memory they will cherish for a lifetime while they are here at Avian Bridal.

I am immensely proud, extremely blessed, and honored to share in this momentous occasion of life with our brides and young ladies and my hope is they will find the perfect dress that makes them feel beautiful.

Hello Beautiful People!

My name is Sydney. I am one of the bridal stylist here at Avian, specifically on Saturdays! I absolutely love meeting new people and helping them feel beautiful and confident in their self! 

My goal is to not only help you find the dress of your dreams but to also be someone who makes you feel amazing! Call me your hype girl, new friend, problem solver, or simply the stylist, but I aim to help you walk out feeling great about yourself and your purchase!

I have been in the bridal industry for going on two years and I have learned SO MUCH about the wedding and formal wear industry and have grown a passion for it. I enjoy what I do!

Outside of work I am a pet mom to my sweet boy cat, Ozzie, and my schweenie, Millie. I am also an esthetician! I enjoy finding new coffee recipes to make for me and my family. You can find me doing facials or shopping of course! I look forward to meeting my Bride's every saturday!​

My name is Alexandra, I am the newest addition to Avian Bridal, but I have been in the wedding industry for a decade now as a minister, coordinator, stylist, and more! 

​

I have always loved the wedding industry because I love being the smallest part of the most special era of someone's life. I am a firm believer that your wedding is more than just one day- every moment from getting engaged to the big day, every plan, and every ounce of energy put into your wedding deserves to be celebrated- even if it's not always Instagram worthy!

​

I take my love for the little things and directly bring it to working with brides. I want to make it an event to find your dress, because it is! Making a bride feel beautiful and excited, helping fill in the image in her head of the day she's looked forward to her whole life is one of my favorite parts of my job. 

​

When I'm not working with brides, I enjoy being at home, doing something creative, and spending time with my fiancée and our four kids and two pets.
