Store owner Meighan Winton takes pride in fostering relationships with the designers she carries. She frequently invites them to the store for trunk shows, where brides have the opportunity to meet the designers in person and collaborate on customizing their dream dresses.

No bridal look is complete without the perfect veil. Kathleen’s Bridal offers a stunning selection of veils, from short and simple to dramatic cathedral veils. Whether you prefer a touch of elegance or a more elaborate design embellished with pearls and crystals, you’re sure to find the veil that makes you feel like a radiant bride.

Winton understands that every bride has a vision for her wedding day. Kathleen’s Bridal caters to a variety of styles, from classic ballgowns and A-line silhouettes to modern trumpets and even a touch of the unexpected. They carry a selection of non-traditional dresses with unique features like feathers and full-body overlays, perfect for destination weddings or reception outfits.

Sales associate Haley Noland points out the growing popularity of these nontraditional dresses, particularly for brides seeking a more unconventional look.
