As a new, older bride in 2022, I anticipated the wedding dress shopping experience to be one of joy and celebration. Instead, I found it to be frustrating, overwhelming, and far more costly than expected. I encountered misleading online marketplaces, less-than-pleasant in-store experiences, and ended up spending thousands of dollars on dresses and alterations—only to feel disappointed in the process.

That experience opened my eyes to a deep need within the bridal industry: a space where brides are treated with care and respect, offered quality gowns at attainable prices, and given an experience that feels just as special as the occasion they’re preparing for.

I felt a calling from God to take action. What started as a personal frustration turned into a passion to serve—to create something better for brides like me. I immersed myself in the bridal industry, learning every aspect from behind the scenes to the fitting room floor. Becoming a Bridal Stylist was only the beginning.

In March 2023, Boujee on a Budget Bridal was founded in the living room of our home. By April, we had transitioned to a cozy at-home boutique, and in November, we proudly opened our first storefront in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

We built this business with real brides in mind—with your story, your budget, and your dreams at the center of everything we do. Whether shopping online or in person, every bride deserves to feel celebrated, confident, and cared for.

At Boujee on a Budget Bridal, we believe every bride deserves to feel like royalty—without paying a king’s ransom.

We can’t wait to welcome you into the Boujee Bride family.
