Unhinged things I did while launching Gemma Bridal. Post inspired by business icon and Spanx founder

The days of being a one-woman show seem so far away, but they were the foundation that Gemma Bridal was built on. They mean the world to me. 🤍

I am SO incredibly thankful for the team of 6 we now have to share this amazing journey with. 🫶 My allergies start to act up when I think about all of the brides who supported Gemma Bridal in those early days 🥹

If you have a dream you have been sitting on, chase it! It’s not smooth, it doesn’t happen overnight, but it won’t happen if you don’t make it happen. 🫶

2024 was such an amazing year, with truly amazing brides. Alexx saw the Elevate gown during our Trunk Show and immediately knew it was the one. She paired it with the Volaire overskirt for some added ✨drama✨ We are so obsessed with her look and with her! ❤️

Dam*. Can I say that here? Gemma Bridal has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I do what I do everyday because I know that five-year-old me (and the now 3-year-old carbon copy of myself I made) would think I’m a bada**. It brings me so much joy, no, it brings me purpose, to go on this journey with you.

My favorite part of the process is getting to know you and your lives. The amount of truly amazing women I have met this past year leaves me lost for words. So many bad-a**es in your own rights; medical professionals, creatives, teachers, project managers, service industries, lawyers, cosmetologists, business owners, stay at home moms, students, and more. You all inspire me everyday.

Thank you to every one of you who played a part in this year. It’s hard to believe that it can get better than this, but with all of the plans in place for next year, I know it will be.

To our small but mighty team, I love you guys. You make this place go round. As a recent MOB said, “How do three little girls run such a big business?” With a little bit of passion, laughter, and go-go squeeze applesauce, anything is possible.

Cheers to you, cheers to us, and cheers to 2025. Stay weird, choose to be different, and do what makes you happy.

Love,
Emma (not Gemma lol)
Founder of Gemma Bridal, Love Gemma, and whatever comes next 🤍
