Ever since I was a little girl, I have been infatuated with all things frilly & girly; I was the queen of putting together an outfit, accessorizing to the max, and proudly twirled in my dress any moment I could.
Growing up, I eventually began a slight problem of "collecting" dresses. I realized that dresses, either the loose fitting t shirt dresses or the bedazzled form fitting ones, were always appropriate for any occasion. Not to mention that in my mind, it was less clothes to shop for, less time spent on picking out an outfit, and all around more comfortable for me. The attic of my college house eventually became "Hannah's Dress Boutique" where I had many friends come and "shop" for a dress to borrow for their night out because everyone knew I had plenty to spare, and I gladly shared. By the time I graduated college, I had accumulated over 100 dresses!
Therefore, when the day finally came to pick out my wedding dress, it posed a bit of a dilemma for me as I had never once stopped to think about what my dream dress would look like.
get to know me
Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days studying the raw beauty of nature to inspire and guide my designs. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to create memories that you will treasure for years to come.
I remember having friends predict what they envisioned me in, my parents also chiming in their thoughts, and it turned out that almost no one could agree on what they thought would be THE dress in the end. I knew we had our work cut out for us!
I turned to a few friends who were recently brides themselves to get the inside scoop on the best bridal stores to visit all across Ohio, and they did not disappoint. It took me 5 bridal studios and 40 dresses to eventually find my Yes Dress-- my dad was the first to cry! Since then, I have had the pleasure to work with countless bridal boutiques, so I made a list of some of my favorite studios you have to go to when picking out your dream gown.

Comfortable, personal and all about you. They believe that selecting your wedding gown should be an intimate and memorable experience – one that is everything you have imagined since you were little.
In 2011, they opened a bridal shop in Columbus called White of Dublin out of a sincere desire to provide the ultimate luxury bridal experience. In 2019, they opened our sister bridal boutique, White of Raleigh, to expand this experience to the brides of North Carolina. This was the bridal boutique where I said "Yes" to the dress!!!
