Cornelia Powell

Cornelia Powell is a wedding folklorist, fashion historian, author and guest speaker who first made headlines in the world of weddings with her nationally celebrated bridal art-to-wear shop in Atlanta in the 1980s and ‘90s. Opened on the glittering wave following the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer—and in recognition of the emerging “modern woman”—her store helped reshape the bridal design industry. And she’s been writing about it all in books, blogs, and magazines ever since!
