Welcome to 2026 - A message from our Creative Director

Welcome to 2026—and welcome to The Ivory Lounge.

2025 was an incredibly exciting year for us. We welcomed new designers, grew our family with the addition of Kelly, and became one of the most loved destinations for brides-to-be searching for their dream gown.

When we launched The Ivory Lounge, my vision was to create a destination where brides of all budgets could enjoy a truly special experience. Choosing a wedding dress is one of the biggest decisions a woman will make, and it deserves to be memorable for all the right reasons. No matter the budget, every bride should leave with a beautiful memory she will cherish forever.

With over 250 five-star reviews and multiple awards and nominations, I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved. None of this would be possible without our amazing team—my work family. They are the heart of The Ivory Lounge. We continually set the bar and raise standards, and our stylists are at the top of their game, combining exceptional knowledge with genuine care and passion.

When you visit The Ivory Lounge, you’re not just buying a gown—you’re enjoying an experience.

In 2025, we also launched our bridesmaid appointments, allowing us to extend that same fun, memorable experience to the entire bridal party. As one of the only licensed bridal boutiques in the region, we can even offer bubbles at appointments—because celebrations should start early.

Later in the year, we were delighted to welcome the COKO Gowns pop-up, enabling us to offer prom appointments too. We also warmly welcome brides who have purchased their gown elsewhere to visit us for accessories and still enjoy the full Ivory Lounge experience.

I love seeing brides shop around and then come to us when they are ready to say yes to their dream dress. Our appointments are designed for buying, and the experience is at its best when you’re ready to make that special decision.

As we move into 2026, we have so many exciting plans in the pipeline, and we cannot wait to share them with you. The Ivory Lounge is exactly what I hoped it would be, and I feel incredibly lucky to do a job I love, surrounded by the best team imaginable.

Thank you to our past brides for trusting us with such an important moment in your journey. We can’t wait to meet our new brides-to-be and to see all the beautiful photos as our Ivory Lounge brides celebrate their weddings.

With love and gratitude,
