Heidi Elnora’s journey into the world of weddings began when she graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2002. Upon graduation, Heidi designed children’s wear for Carter’s in Atlanta. It was during this time that Heidi auditioned and was selected for season 2 of Project Runway. After the show and four years at Carter’s, Heidi decided it was time to make her dream of designing wedding gowns a reality.
In November of 2006, the brand heidi elnora was created back in Heidi’s hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. Heidi stays true to her roots by taking a handmade approach when it comes to designing her gowns, which are known for their polished lines and attention to detail. Garment artisans in both Alabama and Georgia craft all heidi elnora gowns and veils by hand.
