Meet the designer

Violetta Vieux
Violetta Vieux, the owner of the VioGemini Bridal Boutique, began creating evening gowns and bridal accessories in early 2000, while she was still living in her native Moldova. In 2003 she was invited to France to present her latest award winning collection of entirely crocheted and beaded gowns. 4 years later she graduated from a prestigious fashion school ESMOD in Paris with Master’s degree in Creative Draping and Patternmaking.
Since Violetta Vieux, the owner of Viogemini Bridal Boutique , along with her family moved to California in 2008, she continued her passion for fashion as freelance fashion designer and shared her knowledge and skills with students from FIDM, San Francisco, as draping and patternmaking instructor.
Violetta is passionate about bridal gowns, for which she can use all her draping and intricate patternmaking skills, as well as beading and embroidery. In 2010 she presented her VioGemini bridal collections at numerous runways in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Her signature “transformable bridal gowns” and “mix-n-match” concept became very popular and the demand for her custom made bridal gowns has been growing rapidly.VioGemini developed a line of luxurious bridal accessories and launched a new brand “Garter Queen” which offers custom made Couture Bridal Garters.
In 2013 VioGemini moved into a new store with large, elegant showroom. The boutique is situated in the heart of historical Niles District in Fremont.
