Wedding dresses for real brides.
Celebrating every bride and every story.
The wedding industry is telling women a lie.
“You have to fit a certain mold to feel like a bride.”
“Beautiful wedding dresses are for girls with ‘perfect’ bodies.
Magical moments are for women getting married for the first time.
If you’re not crying, you can’t say yes to a dress.”
At Emerald, we don’t think you need to change to be a “real” bride.
Your unique bridal journey is valid, and your bridal experience should be a chance to see yourself as you truly are.
Beautiful, worthy, and loved.
We provide all the magic of finding your dress without the pressure for it (or you) to look a certain way.
Dresses in all shapes and sizes
Dresses for any timeline (to order and off the rack)
Options for diverse budgets (all our gowns are $2,500 and under with the average being $1,600).
A personal stylist and appointment area for every bride.

The only shop I really wanted to check out was Emerald Bridal Lounge - I knew that I didn’t want to try on a hundred dresses and was just hopeful I would find “the one” in the few dresses I tried on. Caitlyn was my dress consultant and went out of her way to remind me that it was only about the dress I felt good in and the dress I saw myself walking down the aisle in. I felt incredibly welcome - even with my energetic infant. I wish I could go back and do it all again just to relive that feeling of finding the dress.

10/10!! The first, second, and only bridal shop I went to! The first time I went, we were just greeted so warmly and everyone was so friendly. The dresses I saw on the rack were GORG so I was super excited to try some on! I thought I knew what I wanted when I started looking at dresses but they were not at all what I envisioned them to look like on me. I also didn’t want to be too impulsive and buy from the first shop I went to, but something told me to come back and I am SO HAPPY I did. Kaitlyn was able to find me something that was not at all what I had been thinking, but as soon as I tried it on, I had that “this is the one” moment. That might’ve been the 7th or 8th dress overall that I tried on at Emerald and every dress afterwards just didn’t feel the way that one felt. I remember when I said yes to the dress and how everyone at Emerald made me feel - they were just as happy and excited for me as I was. They even took a video of when I said yes and I will cherish that moment forever

It was honestly quick and easy. They made me feel so comfortable trying on dresses. They were very accommodating and the communication was on point. If I had a question or concern, they were a text away. 100% recommend to future brides.

Emerald’s was the first and last place I went to. I saw an ad on Instagram and I just loved that they tailor to all body types. I loved your mission. It was so sweet to go and try on all the different dresses (even though the one I chose was the first one to try on). The staff made me feel so cared for. It gave me the impression that, for the staff, each bride is not just another client, but an excited and giddy human being who is just trying to figure out what to wear on one of the best days of their life

My experience at Emerald’s was magical from the very moment I stepped through the door. Everyone that works at Emerald’s is so polite & POSITIVE. They made me feel gorgeous in every single dress, but also had extremely helpful tips & tricks.

Hey, I’m Sabina, the owner of Emerald Bridal Lounge!
Thanks for being here- it means the world to us. It’s my dream to bring more joy and inclusion into the Bridal experience, and every single person who visits us, in person or online is a part of that!
I’m a mom at heart. I love supporting the people around me and seeing them become their best selves. My husband and my son Blaise are the foundation of everything I do here at Emerald Bridal Lounge (the emerald is Blaise’s birthstone!).
When I had Blaise, my life changed in the best way possible. I saw myself through the eyes of someone who loved me without any conditions, and I found a new inner strength to do things I never thought I could.
I want to bring that experience to every bride who walks through my doors. You are truly loved and worthy to be celebrated, just as you are today!
XOXO, SABINA
