As a result of this reputation, there is a huge market for imitation Jovani gowns. Jovani has asked all of its authorized retailers to post a Jovani logo and link to the Jovani website. This will help ensure that customers are purchasing 100% authentic Jovani designs from authorized retailers only.
NBC
In 2010, Bella Sera Bridal was featured on “Losing It with Jillian.” We had the great pleasure of meeting the amazing Mastropietro Family from Wilmington, MA. Part of the episode was filmed at Bella Sera Bridal, and Heidi and Lisa were asked to be on the show and provide Agnes Mastropietro with her mother-of-the-bride gown. We were blessed to see Agnes transform in front of our eyes for her daughter’s wedding.
