Steeped in the Old World traditions of exquisite hand-craftsmanship, Russell combines the finest workmanship available today with a distinctive, contemporary design aesthetic. Her gowns have been featured in Martha Stewart Living Wedding, Bridal Guide, Modern Bride, and other specialty publications.

Russell gowns are made of the finest silks, with laces and embroideries manufactured in the most exclusive mills in Europe. Other ornaments, including Swarovski™ crystals and trims, ensure a unique presentation for each gown. But it is the design itself that most interest Russell. Her gowns always have entrance-making appeal, and the quality is apparent in the impeccable cut that provides a perfect, flattering fit. Yet what her clients value most is the freshness of the designs. Every gown has something about it that no one has seen before, and that remarkable ability has earned Russell an international following. She has designed for weddings in Australia, Saudi Arabia, Italy, the Philippines and many other countries. Her eveningwear has graced the chairwomen and guests of galas, benefits, and special events both in the US and beyond.

Jeannette Russell was established in 1984, and to this day it remains very much a family affair. While Russell handles all design work, her sister and co-owner, Nina Della Vecchia, resides in New York City and serves as the director of sales and marketing. Recently at their flagship store in Sewickley, PA, they launched Nina’s Accessories, which offers an extensive collection of jewelry, shoes, hair ornaments, and more to complete any bridal and special occasion ensemble.   Every client is stylized from head to toe!
