33. Opening a Bridal Shop & Social Media’s Impact on Dress Shopping with Kristy, owner of The White Dress
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!

Customer Reviews
Best Wedding Podcast
Sarah is a natural and I’ve loved every episode. A must listen if you are a bride to be or in the event industry!
Great Bridal Tips!!
Sarah’s podcast has been perfect to learn about the bridal journey! Between dress shopping and alterations, she has shared so many wonderful tips and I’d recommend this podcast to any bride-to-be to prepare herself for the upcoming events!! 10/10!
Essential Tips for any Bride
I can’t recommend Sarah’s podcast enough for anyone anticipating their wedding. The first time I became aware of Sarah, it was because she did some some beautiful custom alterations on one of my client’s bridal gowns.
As a wedding photographer, my heart sinks when I see a beautiful bride in a gown that didn’t receive proper alterations. The wedding dress is truly the centerpiece of a wedding day, and deserves all the special attention to detail that Sarah offers. Sarah’s wedding planning information is essential for brides!
