The fine folks from
Volle's will provide us with a Wedding fashion show that will have you

Volle's Wedding Gallery is a
family owned business that still believes that commitment to our customers
is the number one priority. Our employees work together as a team to
assure each customer that they will always feel as someone cares. The
Volle's family truly believes that at Volle's, you are the only bride in
the world.
The CEO, Volle, is truly a "Survivor" story. Volle' is a
designer and an artist. She started designing and sewing when she was four
years old. She made clothes for her dolls. The neighbors saw her work and
bought fabric for her to sew items for them. At the age of 17, she started
and operated her own custom business. She made her first wedding gown at
this age.
While attending a Chicago high school, she worked with a
European artist commissioned to paint the dome of the school library.
Their artwork is still visible today. Later, Volle's worked out of her
home designing for such people as Maggie Daley, The Duchess of Luxembourg,
and other dignitaries wife's. Her three sons were supported by her endless
hours behind that sewing machine.
Volle' was driving by a funeral
parlor in 1971. A man was pounding a for sale sign in the ground. She
stopped and gave him one hundred dollars to hold the building. This is how
Volle's began. Now, 30 years later, 92 percent of our business is by
referral. If a gown only exists in a brides dream, she can describe it to
Volle who will then draw it. After the fabric details are discussed, Volle
will create it.
In fact, The Chicago Tribune once wrote an article
about Volle called "Designing Woman". It told the story of the gown Volle
created out of a brides' grandmothers' tablecloth. Volle cut around the
stains of time and created a gown so treasured by the bride for it's fond
memories of her grandmother. She later used the pieces left to create a
Christening Gown for the brides' first child.
