✨ It’s time for another Stylist Spotlight! ✨

At Bridal Connection, we love celebrating the amazing women who make every appointment such a special experience. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Mackenzie!

Mackenzie has been one of our talented bridal stylists for about five months. Her favorite part of her job is meeting all of her wonderful brides, moms, prom girls, and coworkers. She describes her personal style as a blend of western and boho.

One of her favorite bridal memories is when her bride tried on a gown that was out of her comfort zone, looked in the mirror, and instantly started to cry before saying “yes” to the dress. Such a beautiful moment!

When she’s not in the boutique, Mackenzie enjoys photography, watching movies, and baking. A fun fact about her is that she’s engaged and has two adorable puppies with her fiancé! 🐶💍

💕 Come meet Mackenzie and let her help you find your dream dress! Book your appointment at the link in our bio or call us at 515-964-5683.

Choosing the Right Bridal Shop ✨
One of the hardest parts of wedding dress shopping is deciding which stores to go to! It should never be about visiting the most shops; it’s about finding the right ones. Doing a little research before booking your appointments can make all the difference in finding “the one.”
Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect shop for you:

💫 Vibe:
Check out a boutique’s social media and website to see if you can picture yourself saying yes there. At Bridal Connection, we pride ourselves on creating a fun, relaxed, and comforting experience that helps every bride feel confident, supported, and beautiful. Wedding dress shopping should be joyful, never stressful!

💻 Website:
A well-maintained website says a lot about a shop’s professionalism. Can you easily book an appointment? Can you preview some of their dresses? On our website, once you book your appointment, you’ll get access to a personal portal where you can share your event details, favorite styles, and even start your dream dress list!

👗 Dress Inventory:
Can you browse their in-store collections before you visit? At Bridal Connection, you can view several of our designer collections online, plus, we have even more styles in store that aren’t yet listed! If you’re wondering whether we carry a specific gown, our experienced bridal stylists are happy to help.

💰 Price Point:
Set your price point before you start booking appointments so you can choose shops that fit your budget. Our gowns range from $1,299 to $2,799, and we’d be honored to help you find your dream dress within your perfect investment range.

🌸 Size Inclusivity:
Does the shop carry sizes that will allow you to feel comfortable and confident while trying on? We’re proud to offer a wide range of sizes from 4 (street size 0) up to 36, with styles for every shape and body type. Plus, our talented in-house seamstress (with us for over 13 years!) ensures your gown fits like a dream.

⏰ Time Frame:
Ask whether the boutique sells off-the-rack or special orders only. We offer both! Many of our gowns are available to take home the same day, and we can also special order if you need a specific size, color, or customization. We recommend shopping about 9–12 months before your wedding to allow plenty of time for shipping and alterations.

✨ Remember: It only takes one shop to find your dream dress, and when you’ve done your research, that shop could very well be the first one you visit. Many of our brides find their gown right here at Bridal Connection on their very first stop!

Our Story

Bridal Connection is a family owned & operated business led by a wife & husband duo, Lara & Dan . We are passionate about each & everyone of our customers and your individuality. We pride ourselves on a handpicked collection of dresses with the most up-to-date trends and styles to choose from. Bridal Connection is the only boutique in the area that offers not only a variety of advertised lines, but also exclusive designers you won't find at other stores. As professional stylists, we can also help guide you through the process of custom designing your wedding gown to create the perfect vision for your day! These are refreshing choices rather than the same styles you see again and again. Much has changed since we started in our 2,900 square foot space ten years ago. We now operate a 6,500 square foot full-service bridal salon for all your wedding and prom attire needs. The Bridal Connection “Experience” gives you an intimate appointment with your personal bridal stylist who will bring your vision for your special day to life, down to the smallest of details. We are ready to celebrate your once in a lifetime wedding journey with you!
