“For the modern, unconventional bride” Okay… but what does that *mean* 🤔

Modern: This isn’t your grandma’s bridal shop. It’s a place where you can be unapologetically you with the people who mean the most to you. It’s laid back, with zero sales pressure. Gaurenteed to be a good time 🫶

Unconventional: You want to stand out at your wedding! You’ve been to 10 weddings this year and want to wear something you haven’t seen before. Say no more, we’ve got you.

Bonus: We work with many independent designers. You get fun, different designs, while also supporting designer-owned labels who make your dress bespoke for you 🤍

Want in? Book your consultation appointment with us via the link in our bio. We can’t wait to get to know you ❤️

A question we get often by group members: “What do you think will look good on her body?”

The honest answer: We aren’t here to tell her what looks “good” on her body or body type. We are here to help find what she FEELS good in. So much of what we wear and how it looks is the confidence we feel while wearing it. It’s no different when it comes to bridal.

Fuller figure? Wear the fitted dress… if you want.
Petite? Rock the ballgown… if you want.

Body positivity is so, so important. In the future, my hope is that my little Daisy knows that her body is perfect as is and will pick what makes her happy. Our wish is the same for all of our brides as well 🤍
