WHITE SATIN BRIDAL

BY: SABRINA LEE

White Satin Bridal began in Kathy Wood’s basement during February of 1984. Demand for Kathy and her co-owner Kristie’s designs and expertise grew.

Atone point they had the first location in Syracuse with others in Riverton, East Layton, Bountiful, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, California. A bride could come in with a picture and Kristie would customize it to fit the bride’s needs and Kathy made it come to life with her seamstress skills. Adding onto that, they created a one stop shop for bridal attire and accessories which helped their business thrive. White Satin Bridal provides accessories to either rent or buy—attire for bridal attendants and mothers of the bride and groom, hosiery, and flower girl and ring bearer accessories could all be rented or purchased at their store.

These types of additional services saved time and money for their customers. With 30 years of combined experience, Kristie and Kathy provided full services for their clients. They were often asked to attend the ceremonies, and on some occasions hired to dress the bride before the ceremony. However, providing gowns to the San Francisco location on time grew to be too difficult, and the location was closed.

Newspaper information on White Satin Bridal as an open business seems to end in 1998. The location at 1950 West 2250 South now has other businesses, and I could not find any images of a Kristie Peterson original design, but I am sure there are hundreds of people who remember the special attention they received from these two very special women.

They created a one stop shop for their customers.
