Hi friends! 👋 I'm Melissa Fidler, owner of Weddings By Design and The Tux Shop in West Des Moines.

For the past 22 years, I’ve had the joy of helping couples look and feel their absolute best on one of the most important days of their lives. Whether it’s finding the dress, the perfect tux, or just offering some heartfelt advice along the way — I truly love what I do. 💍✨

Weddings are personal, and I believe the shopping experience should be too. That’s why my team and I focus on creating a fun, supportive, and unforgettable experience for every bride, groom, and wedding party who walks through our doors.

When I’m not styling bridal parties, you can usually find me at the lake with my family and boyfriend, relaxing in the sun, hosting a little backyard fun, or enjoying a good glass of wine. ☀️🍷🏖

If you’re planning a wedding or just love seeing a little bridal magic, I’d love to have you follow along! ❤️
