Our Mission
We opened Something Borrowed Bridal in order to provide brides with beautiful, affordable gowns in a unique setting. We enjoy connecting brides with the perfect gown; whether the gown lives on to tell another story, it's an affordable sample gown or one that was never worn down the aisle. Our goal is to make the bridal shopping process enjoyable, memorable and stress free. Our focus is on you, the bride!
We aim to have an array of timeless designer and name brand dresses that will fit comfortably in our client's budgets. We have a large variety of styles,colors and sizes available to choose from. Whether you have a strict budget and shopping for a deal, are looking for something completely unique or are trying to find that perfect dress in any price range; we aim to have the dress for you!
About Us
"From a very young age I loved drawing mannequins, clothing and styling. I enjoyed dressing up and coordinating the perfect matching accessories. I have always had a strong passion for fashion as well as being a thrifty, bargain shopper! Throughout the years I enjoyed styling relatives, friends, clients and runway models... and dreamed of having my own boutique.
I started working multiple jobs at a time and gained a vast amount of experience in business, management, textiles, retail, customer service, backstage styling and even apparel wholesale production. I am a Philadelphia University graduate with a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Business, carrying on the desire to own my own boutique. Here we are today making my dream a reality!
I try to connect with the community as much as possible by attending workshops and events. In 2018, I had the pleasure of participating in a Women In Entrepreneur workshop at my alumni University where I spoke on the board and mentored students who plan to be entrepreneurs some day.
Now that I have a physical store front, I could not be more excited to help women find the perfect dress for one of the most special days of their lives. Every bride has a unique story and I love sharing this journey with them. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!"
