Hey there, and welcome to the MaeMe Bridal podcast. I’m your host Melissa Estess, owner and founder of The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe in New Orleans, Louisiana. I’m thrilled that you’ve tuned in because we have important things to talk about! My goal is to eliminate the fears and stress of shopping for your wedding dress and educate and encourage you to soak in this beautiful season in your life without the worry! I’m going to go over bridal basics, how to successfully say YES to your dream dress, tips and tricks to being an engaged bride, and so much more! This podcast is for engaged brides that are overwhelmed. If you are thinking, where do I even begin in this journey, trust me, you are not alone! Generally, when a bride gets engaged, she texts all her friends a picture of her ring, obviously and spends some time creating an AMAZING instagram post showing that rock on her finger… and then she usually thinks about: her wedding date, the venue, the photographer, and THE DRESS! We are going to talk about all the things you should know about wedding dress shopping and beyond to ease your fears and get you really excited about saying YES to your dream dress!
