Hello, My name is Latoya Renea Mckenny, Owner of Toya Renea Bridal Styling, By way of Cross Stitched LLC. We are a family owned business located in Florence, South Carolina, Serving the entire Palmetto state. We started in 2018 and have been growing strong in the community with our services that comes from humble beginnings and is gaining ground in the wedding industry because Love keeps winning!

Establishing the business was kept simple; I wanted to do Alterations the right way. So I got out there and hit pavement and have not stopped except to reset and keep going. I then added Dressmaking to my services and interned with a local bridal seamstress to learn more in depth about formal/bridal alterations. From then on I became known as Doing Wedding Dress Alterations, the right way.

Wanting to serve my Brides better, I offered to come to their weddings to prepare all of the garment so that they could relax and enjoy the moment of the occasion without worrying about the possible stresses of coordinating their own attire. this service then became a big hit and sought after highly as Brides heard about how much easier their day was made by bringing me on as their bridal Stylist for the day. A full day of me is what they got with all necessities to make it down the aisle looking straight out of a magazine.

It doesn’t end there! As a Servant, you constantly seek how to make client experiences better and this awesome new concept added flare. It was time to travel and set up shop at the soon to be brides home! Yes, just like in the movies! This service really expanded my reach by allowing me to get out of my studio space and travel for private fittings right smack in the living room, upstairs bedroom or den. This service could done the same day if the drive is lengthy or for emergency services which is a great option if there are time restraints.

One thing is certain, that we have so much to offer to make any Bride happy. And not to leave out the Grooms, because there are services available for them as well, including Styling and Alterations. Either way, we seek to bring our expertise to every wedding and event that calls for looking your absolute best.

This leads me to our newest adventure which is working as a wardrobe Stylist on film and as a Stylist behind the scenes at photo shoots. Our very first photo shoot landed us in North Carolina Bridal. We are currently we are awaiting the stamps for 4 additional magazines where the shoots took place in 8 countries for a wedding tour in which we made 2 destination weddings. To get full disclosure on this you would have to follow me on Facebook where you can keep up with our happenings.

We are extremely blessed to have accomplished so much in these last few years by the favor of God and are looking forward to adding on new clientele to be grafted into our family. We can say this because we honor people and give them their flowers and the proper respect and attention to details concerning their Big Day. This is what keeps the referrals coming in and we will continue to value all of our Brides and their families with same respect because we are in Christ!
