MaeMe Bridal Podcast

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!

#2: Going beyond the basics of wedding dress shopping | Part 1

October 21, 2019 • Melissa Estess • Season 1 • Episode 2

We polled brides who have purchased wedding dresses from MaeMe and asked them how they felt about wedding dress shopping prior to coming to MaeMe. We offered them the following options for responses: Excited, Nervous, or Frightened. 67% of brides admitted to being nervous or worse, and only 30% of brides were excited... so, if we see 2000 brides a year shopping at The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe for their wedding dress, that means that 1400 brides a year are walking in scared! After following up with the brides who responded to our poll, we found out that after visiting the boutique and gaining some knowledge about wedding dresses and meeting our staff, they felt much more at ease and comfortable and their attitude totally shifted! SO, I figured, why not empower and educate brides before they come into the boutique, so instead of having 1400 brides a year terrified to shop, we can have 1400 more brides excited about their special moment! So, tune in to part 1 of our current series, where I discuss construction, measurements, and customization options for wedding dresses! Enjoy!
