The story begins when our owners Allen and Kelly embarking on a whirlwind journey that began with an idea to open a bridal consignment store that blossomed into reality in just the span of 30 days. Opening their first bridal store in 2011 with only 6 bridal gowns quickly grew into a bustling bridal business that now consists of 3 bridal gown stores located in Cincinnati. In 2012, Allen and Kelly said “I DO’ to each other in their first bridal boutique amongst family and friends. This symbol of love and commitment has been the guiding force in their journey to serve their brides with genuine compassion and kindness throughout their 12 years in business. Kelly and Allen’s mission is to make every bride feel welcomed, loved, safe, and most importantly, like a bride! They work incredibly hard to ensure that the gown selections in their four stores resonate with their brides who are searching for classic, stylish, timeless, but also with a flair for fashion and trends. Another fun fact about these two… they are also opening a Wine bar/restaurant very soon so they can better serve the brides who visit the Reading Bridal District to shop. They are always looking for ways to better serve their brides and guests and to also make the Reading Bridal District a fun and welcoming place for all who visit to plan their weddings.

What makes you LOVE what you do? For most women their wedding dress is the most important garment they’ll ever wear. The dress itself and the process of finding it is a story they’ll be telling their entire lives. I love that I get to be a part of making that happen and a memorable experience. There’s nothing like helping someone feel their most beautiful and making their vision come to life!
