About Latin Bridal
Sylvia Ferrusquia saw dressmaking up close growing up in the small town of San Felipe, Mexico, where her seamstress mother sewed dresses for all the town's celebrations. Her mom organized the parties, crafted the gowns and even crowned the queens for the annual Mexican Independence Day celebration.
When Sylvia first moved to San Francisco, she didn't follow her mother's lead. She instead took a job in a Mission District record store and worked there for 11 years. She had a gift for memorizing the location of each record in the shop – even if she didn't know the music.
Eventually she decided to go out on her own and open a clothing store. At the nudging of her customers, she began to focus on selling dresses for special occasions. With her mother's dressmaking DNA coursing through her veins, she stocked wedding and quinceañera gowns, and everything needed for a glamorous party.
