After tying the knot in June 2011, I started planning weddings locally as a hobby. We started our family and now have 3 beautiful kids who bring so much love to our lives. Ruby (10), Grady (8), and Everett (6) are a huge part of the Bridal Vault. The special time I had with them before the Bridal Vault existed made me think about what I truly wanted to do for my professional career. The only thing that I was passionate about and felt completely right was to start a Bridal Boutique that offered every service that I was capable of offering. I didn’t know when it would happen, but it felt right enough to wait until I received a sign.

It wasn’t until March 2017that I got the sign. My hardworking Father-in-Law, who owned an empty bank building, brought it to my attention that the previous bank had potential for someone, and it could very well be “The Bridal Vault.” It still gives me chills and still seems surreal that this dream was finally coming true. My incredible husband Trever, my parents, my in-laws and my children supported my dream and this entire business would have not been possible to create without each of them.

This dream has become the most rewarding opportunity that I could have ever imagined. I love that I have created something that I am proud of. I love meeting some of the most amazing women I have ever met in my entire life. I love helping women feel beautiful. I love being a locally owned and operated business that welcomes any bride to find the most important dress they will ever wear. I love every moment when I get to ask a bride if she is going to say “YES to the dress” and getting goose bumps when I ask. I love celebrating the decision with each bride and witnessing this special moment when they feel so beautiful and happy!

My story, who I am, what I care about, and what I love has all come together to make The Bridal Vault what it is. To our future brides: I hope you feel welcomed here, I hope you feel respected and heard, and I hope you enjoy finding your very own, without a doubt, the most beautiful, I don’t want to take it off, absolutely amazing wedding dress at The Bridal Vault!

Much Love,
