Interview with Rebecca Schoneveld of Schone Bride

By: Kate Murphy

Rebecca Schoneveld – Designer & Owner of Schone Bride – Diane Hu Photography

Imagine launching a bridal collection completely on your own from a tiny Brooklyn studio apartment. Designing, sewing, marketing, handling clients’ orders, shipping – you are doing it all.

This was especially true in the wedding industry where goods and services are valued for their visual appeal and ability to meet clients’ aesthetic tastes.
