The Story of Ponce Gold

A bridal and formal gown atelier built on heart, craftsmanship, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen and appreciated.

 

Meet Jessica Ponce

Founder. Designer. Bridal seamstress. Storyteller through fabric

Jessica began sewing at seven years old and carried her craft with her into adulthood, eventually stepping into the bridal world in 2019. What started as a childhood passion became a calling: to create a space where brides feel understood, celebrated, and supported through one of the most meaningful garments they will ever wear.

After years of working within the bridal industry, Jessica founded Ponce Gold in 2022 and opened her public atelier in 2026. A cozy, warm, and inviting space in Carrollton, TX dedicated to couture craftsmanship and deeply personal client care.

Her approach blends technical mastery with emotional intelligence. Brides come to her not just for impeccable tailoring, but for the calm, confident presence she brings to every fitting.
