With wedding gowns draped along the boutique’s windows and walls, Minneapolis designer Joy Teiken busily sketches and sews garments for her ready-to-wear line that’s handmade with a keen attention to detail.
Originally a pottery teacher, Teiken taught herself design and has been in fashion for a decade. Her business, Joynoelle Boutique and Atelier, is built mainly on her custom bridal gowns.
