History

Established in 2010.

We opened Lovely Bride as a haven for brides who wanted a wedding dress shopping experience that felt fun and laid-back, while showcasing the coolest indie designers that weren't so 'available'. Fashion industry veteran, Lanie List, had experience building lifestyle brands, so she set out to create that Lovely Life, with Instagram-worthy shops, a blog about wedding fashion, and a loyal following of brides and brand fans we call #ourlovelies. Word spread about the new way we were doing bridal, which brought us a lot of attention, including love from smart women around the country who wanted a Lovely in their town. So Lanie decided to franchise Lovely, since she loved the idea of helping women get into business. Today, Lovely is a collective of 18 individually-owned bridal shops, run by entrepreneurial, hardworking women who care deeply about offering a personalized and locally-focused experience. By shopping at Lovely, you shop local, independent and women-owned. Good on you!

10/10 Recommend Lovely Bride (especially Jess!)

I found my wedding dress yesterday at Lovely Bride and had such an amazing experience! When I first walked in, I'll be honest, it was a little intimidating. There were a ton of women waiting and it didn't seem like I'd get a private experience (I'd only had one other appointment where the small store closed for my appointment). However, as soon as the sales associate, Jess, took us back to the area I'd try on the dresses I felt comfortable. Jess made the entire process amazing!! She completely understood my style, but also allowed me to try on dresses I might not have chosen so that I could rule them out. She gave just enough input, but didn't force her opinions. At my previous appointment, I felt very uncomfortable with many of the sales associates surrounding me telling me how great I looked in a very sales-y and unauthentic way. I felt even more uncomfortable since I didn't feel beautiful and knew they were just trying to make a sale. Jess felt less like a saleswoman and more like a friend who wanted me to make my own decision, but gave just the right amount of advice. The first boutique we went to made us feel pressured to making a decision right away, but Jess was able to book us an appointment on the same day for a few hours later so we could leave, have lunch and discuss. When we returned, she had been placed with another bride but was so sweet and made sure to stop by and congratulate us! Overall, I highly recommend shopping at Lovely Bride (especially with Jess). I'll also add that the wedding dresses were half the cost of the dresses we had seen elsewhere. Such a bonus!

For the Modern Bride

I purchased my dress and veil from Lovely Bride which were both amazing experiences. The boutique is clean and such a quaint place for all those brides looking for something different. I personally was not about a traditional bridal store. I liked how Lovely Bride offered an online portal for clients. In this portal I was able to select the dresses I wanted to try on prior to my appointment. It allowed me to choose my budget ahead of time without feeling pressured in the store. Also, I was trying on dresses from designers that I saw on places like Pinterest and Instagram. In todays day in age not all traditional bridal stores can keep up with the new designers advertising on social media. Some didn't ever carry the designers I tried on at Lovely. The staff was knowledgable, sweet, and didn't make me feel pressured during my appointment. I recommend Lovely Bride to all of my soon to be bride friends!
