My husband Eric proposed on Labor Day Weekend 2004 and so my search for the perfect gown began!
My mom, sister and I went to several boutiques and finally ended up at this unique, eclectic boutique in Mount Horeb. It is here that I not only found my dream dress, but also my dream career. The owner was interested in selling her business and so I jumped at the opportunity! My husband and I purchased Elegant Bridal in the summer of 2005. At that time, the store was located on a 2nd floor, without street visibility. The boutique was not only a bridal shop, but also a vintage clothing store. After being in business for a year and a half we made the decision to eliminate the vintage clothing and totally commit to being a bridal boutique. Along with this decision came a move to a new 1st floor location with a large storefront. Our boutique has been located at 101 E. Main Street since January 2007.
I have a background in design from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying initially in the fashion design program and eventually graduating with a degree in Interior Design. I worked in the field for several years before deciding to purchase Elegant Bridal. Owning and managing a bridal boutique has truly been the perfect mix for me. I am able to live the dream of owning my own business, work in the fashion industry and use my interior design skills to create a warm and welcoming boutique for my customers. I have to say my favorite part over the past years of being in business is meeting and working with so many wonderful women! Your wedding gown will be the most important garment you will ever wear, and is such a significant part of how you feel on your wedding day. Weddings are filled with emotions and is one of the most cherished days in your life I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to help so many women find the perfect gown!
