Hourglass Bride with Nicole Brandon and guest Samantha Eliza Popa

Samantha Eliza Popa

After growing up in the fashion industry, and with her mother’s influence and access to countless designer treasures, Samantha developed a very strong passion for luxury fabrics and all things glamorous. Multiple times Samantha would watch my mother help a bride find her dream dress, or help a mother find her sophisticated gown, and Samantha would see her eyes filled with joy as she would say yes. With such joy in this industry how could she not want to be part of it. So, with Andrea’s Fashions having over 30 years of experience serving the Southern California bride, in 2013 she launched the official opening of A Bride By Samantha. Here she is able to create a glamorous bridal experience, where Samantha creates one of a kind looks that inspire brides. Now she specializes in custom non traditional bridal for brides world wide.

Outside of fashion, she is also a Pilates instructor and energy healer. She started teaching yoga & Pilates while studying Psychology at UC Merced. She also began practicing meditation when she started teaching, and has recently started teaching Sound Healing using Crystal and Tibetan Sound Bowls. Every month Samantha offers sound bath healing for my brides and ladies. She truly enjoy healing people and these bowls have changed her life. She will help anyone balance their chakras no matter what age you are. Especially during a stressful time, needed relaxation might just be what you need.
