Hannah Diemer the dress bridal

The owner of The Dress Bridal , Hannah Diemer , knows a thing or two about big life events . Her husband owns a funeral home business and while working for him , she realized she wanted to be on the happier side of these big life events , helping people do what she loves best - feel good about themselves , look confident , collaborate with other professionals and all in a business that involves fashion . She took the leap , bought The Dress Bridal , and eight years later , has no regrets .
The Dress Bridal is an intimate boutique on the south side of Springfield in the trendy French Quarter-esque shopping area off Republic Road . While brides can have a personalized shopping experience for free , they can also choose to elevate their time by adding a Bridal Experience Package , complete with champagne , fun gifts , earrings , or a variety of extras .
Hannah is extremely passionate about personal experiences , gowns , weddings and all things bridal . She loves creating a visual for her brides - almost like a poster board of your wedding and encourages ladies to bring in color swatches , jewelry , shoes , anything you know is a MUST , Hannah says , “ Girl , bring it !” If you have a sentimental veil , or plan on carrying your father ’ s handkerchief or wearing your grandmother ’ s earrings , bring that piece with you to try on with your wedding dress so that Hannah and her team of professionals can make sure everything seamlessly matches and works well together .
“ Be open minded , trust the process and thrust the pros ,” encourages Hannah . Her experienced team can find a dress to flatter any body shape and The Dress Bridal offers on-site alterations . “ Do not rely on Pinterest photos ! All of our bodies are different and many of those gowns do not even exist or were photoshopped .”
Basque waistlines or halter necklines are the latest trends in wedding dresses right now . Hannah is also seeing higher slits , beautiful sparkly beading and many brides are opting for mini-wedding dresses , something less formal that they might wear to a reception , or even a courthouse wedding .
So bring your closest confidantes - less opinions mean shopping for a wedding dress is less nerve-wracking . While you are trying on your dress , your bride tribe can peruse the fun options for Bachelorette parties that The Dress Bridal offers , both in store and online .
Rest easy , you are in good hands with the professionals at The Dress Bridal .
FAVORITE ACCESSORY : Simple earrings like a modern , sleek dangle or single pearl with a cathedral style veil . “ A veil just captures the scene and I love a funky veil with beading or crystal edging .”
