About Me


"I’m Melida Osorio, the founder of Melida’s Velvet Boutique. Born and raised in Honduras, I’ve been passionate about designing dresses for as long as I can remember. My journey began at 13 when I enrolled in an academy, where I studied for two years before pursuing formal education in design and fashion. During this time, I had the incredible opportunity to work with renowned Honduran designer Pablo Alarcón.

I carried this dream with me to the United States, where I continued to refine my craft, gaining experience at several boutiques across Long Island, NY. With over 40 years of experience, my faith in God has been my foundation, guiding me to create elegant, timeless designs that bring joy to every client."

A fashion boutique with a blue and white striped awning on the ground floor of a building. Mannequins in stylish attire are displayed in the window, and there are decorations with greenery and string lights. In front of the store, there are three wooden chairs and two small round tables on a cobblestone pavement.

A bride in a flowing white gown is walking under an ornate covered walkway with an arched ceiling. She is holding a bouquet of flowers with a long veil trailing behind her. The setting appears to be a formal, elegant venue, possibly a historical building or a location prepared for a wedding. One person is standing nearby, leaning against a column, dressed in formal attire, while another person in a patterned dress is partially visible near the bride.
