Cheri Bridals, LLC was formed in July of 1991.

the beginning for Mon Cheri; today, the company produces
over twenty branded special occasion product lines worldwide.
In
1997, Stephen saw a need in the marketplace for mother

SOPHIA
TOLLI After ten years as Head Designer at Maggie Sottero,
Sophia Apostolides created a new bridal collection, Sophia
Tolli. With its unparalleled craftsmanship and exceptional
fit, the Sophia Tolli collection provides an array of gorgeous,
show-stopping bridal gowns. A seamstress since her early
teens, Sophia grew up surrounded by fabrics, sewing machines
and dress patterns. Her aunt, a talented dressmaker, handmade
a majority of Sophia’s wardrobe and allowed Sophia
to select her own fabrics. Sophia considers this early exposure
to dressmaking as the base of her informal education in
fashion design. Sophia developed a strong foundation in
made-to-measure design by crafting custom prom, bridesmaid’s
dresses and bridal gowns in her teens. During college, Sophia
challenged traditional sewing techniques and explored alternative
methods of dressmaking. Her award-winning expertise in fit
and construction is the result of both her childhood experiences
and college education.
