Kristy, the owner and founder of The White Dress in Michigan joins the podcast today to talk all about Michigan’s bridal scene, why she opened her own bridal shop, as well as social media’s impact on brides while dress shopping!

Social media is great for brides to see what types of dresses are out there, but oftentimes, this can come with dress overwhelm, dress regrets, and stressful indecisiveness when shopping. Kristy and Sarah discuss this topic during the conversation and advise on the best methods to avoid such stressors and maximize enjoyment of this fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience!

A bit about Kristy: Kristy has been dreaming of wedding dresses since she was a little girl.  Never once did she think she would be lucky enough to be surrounded by their beauty on a daily basis.  But after lots of hard work, and a little bit of fate, her dream came true when she opened up The White Dress in 2011 in Brighton, Michigan. Though she loves all aspects of running her boutique, her favorite part is meeting the brides and helping them achieve their dreams. “Seeing the dresses come to life and be loved by another is so rewarding.  And making their dream dress a reality is the best!” Thank you Kristy for sharing your journey with Dressing Up podcast listeners!

Prom! Kristy also shares with us their all new Prom selection of gowns, each one unique and different, Kristy advises to shop early because when they are gone, they’re gone!
