Natasha Duff-Cole
Owner
- Hometown: Hale, Michigan
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: Handpicking each style for the Ladies of Lineage showroom and watching bride’s make them come to life.
- My Personal vs Bridal Style: My personal style is a bit edgy and modern. I love a good and tasteful cutout and can always be found wearing black or natural hues. When it comes to bridal, I love simplicity with a wow factor. Give me asymmetry and a lot of structure.
- Fashion Influences: Brandon Maxwell is everything & his work is edgy yet feminine. Diane von Furstenberg just understands the female form and doesn’t need a logo to be recognized. For personal ready-wear designers, you can find me in ALC, BA&SH and Proenza Schouler.
- Top Three Must-Visit Places in Charlotte: A Charlotte FC game is a must - the atmosphere is electric. For a perfect cup of coffee, retail & art, visit the shared space with Not Just Coffee, SOCO Gallery and Tabor. For good eats - The Crunkleton, RuRu’s, or The Fig Tree.
Katelyn Strickland
Director of Operations
- Hometown: Rock Hill, South Carolina
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: No two brides are the same and no two days are alike, so each interaction is uniquely its own. People often say "you have the most fun job in the world," and I agree - it's simply the best.
- My Personal vs Bridal Style: My style motto is, “More is more, and less is a bore." I love all the ruffles, statement sleeves — you name it. When it comes to my bridal style, I love a tailored + clean look which showcases a bride's individual style through elements, like jackets or veils that transform the entire look.
- Fashion Influences: Zimmermann, Leonie Hanne and Stephanie Hill (The Style Bungalow)
- Top Three Must Visit Places in Charlotte: Enjoy a Sake bomb & sushi at RuSans, make an annual tradition at the Charlotte Ballet’s Nutcracker, and find a set of vintage Staffordshire figurines from Sleepy Poet!
Johann Wheatley
Luxury Sales Manager
- Hometown: Charlotte, North Carolina
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: I love every bride’s individual style and aesthetic. It is always fascinating to see how a gown can transform on a bride.
- My Personal vs Bridal Style: My personal style tends to be a little more conservative, but I love to see a bride take a risk and do something more dramatic and out of the box! Also, a long veil, every time!!
- Fashion Influences: Kate Middleton
- Top Three Must Visit Places in Charlotte: Bank of America Stadium for a Panther’s game, The spa at the Ritz Carlton, and Ladies of Lineage of course!!!
Elizabeth Hubbell
Senior Stylist & Buyer
- Hometown: Charlotte, North Carolina
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: Bridal is always evolving but the sentimental piece of it is constant, and as a bridal consultant that’s where styling and connection meet.
- My Personal Style vs Bridal Style: With my personal style, I’m not afraid to be out there if it feels right, but I am equally confident in an understated look when the fit is on point. My bridal style leans heavy on the traditional side. A blusher on a veil? Yes, please!
- Fashion Influences: 60's fashion always pulls at my heart strings. Any look Twiggy or Bridget Bardot rocked- I love! Beyoncé's confidence helps fuel my own.
- Top Three Must Visit Places in Charlotte: The Mint Museum Uptown, they usually have neat exhibit to view! Bernardin’s Restaurant for a little slice of Paris. And a recent favorite - Tous les Jours.
Daniela Dubic
Bridal Stylist
- Hometown: San Juan, Puerto Rico
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: I love how this industry is constantly changing. I also love that I get to help brides find one of the most important pieces of clothing they will ever wear. I am a romantic at heart, and what's more romantic than helping a bride-to-be find her wedding gown?
- My Personal vs Bridal Style: My personal style is a combination of classic with a modern twist. I love combining statement pieces and keeping the rest of the look understated. My bridal style is very traditional and classic. I love lace boleros over a clean, structured gown.
- Fashion Influences: Princess Diana, Sofia Richie, and Daniel Rosberry the Creative Director of Schiaparelli
- Top Three Must-Visit Places in Charlotte: Freedom park for a picnic, an Charlotte FC game (they are so much fun!), and dine at Kid Cashew.
Jenna Wingo
Client Relations Concierge
- Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: I love speaking with new people everyday and enjoy an industry driven by love. Being surrounded by happy people about to celebrate their loving commitment to each other is a great feeling.
- My Personal vs Bridal Style: My personal style is very functional. I love to be able to mix and match a lot of my pieces. I love a lot of black and neutral tones. My bridal style is romantic, clean and classic favoring a silk chiffon skirt and a sleeve.
- Fashion Influences: Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy
- Top Three Must Visit Places in Charlotte: The Museum of Illusions in Uptown is a must, & makes for a great date night. One of my favorite brunch spots is Ruby Sunshine - the food and service are exceptional.
Kristen McCarthy
Bridal Stylist
- Hometown: Howard County, Maryland
- Favorite Thing About Working in Bridal: I fell in love with bridal when I became a Lineage Bride myself. And honestly, what's not to love? Working with amazing designers, meeting new people daily, and helping to facilitate a stress-free experience for our Lineage brides makes my job fulfilling.
- My Personal Style vs Bridal Style: My personal style is typically more on the classic side - lots of neutrals and a clean look. But I do love an excuse to wear bride colors, patterns, ruffles, all the stuff! My bridal style is definitely more timeless classic, and elegant. A pair of statement earrings and a fun veil are always a yes!
- Fashion Influences: Sophia Richie and Brittany Aldean.
- Top Three Must Visit Places in Charlotte: Favorite date night spots are Ever Andalo and The Crunkleton. All Charlotte sporting events are a good time. You can always find me and my hubby walking at Freedom Park with our pup, Flouder Waffleson.
