Today on The Busy Bride podcast, I chatted with Amanda from Dressed In Love, a bridal suite in West Reading, Pennsylvania, that helps brides say yes to the perfect dress for their specific wedding vision! Amanda talked about so many different aspects to consider when getting a dress, how important the crew you bring with you is to the overall experience and what kind of timeline you can expect for a custom dress, which I think most people will find surprising. I cannot wait for you to hear all of Amanda’s knowledge - enjoy the show!

More about Amanda: Amanda was born and raised in the bridal fashion world! Her parents, Fred and Karen, owned and operated a successful bridal retail operation in the Reading area in the early 90s, where Amanda spent most of her childhood. From a young age, Amanda loved “helping” brides pick out gowns and accessories in her parents’ store.

Fast forward a few (or a lot) of years – Amanda began her professional career in the bridal fashion industry working for leading bridal designer, Paloma Blanca! She had the opportunity to work with some of the top bridal stores (just like Dressed in Love) across the country, assisting them with selecting sample gowns from Paloma Blanca for their stores. That’s when she had an idea – What if she could take the best parts of all of her favorite bridal shops, and create the ultimate wedding dress shopping experience for brides right here in Reading, PA?!

The idea for Dressed in Love came about in 2016 when she started compiling thoughts and ideas but was waiting patiently for the right location. She was thrilled to find the perfect “home” for her dream in the heart of downtown West Reading. Amanda can’t wait to share her wealth of knowledge about bridal fashion and the wedding industry with her Dressed in Love brides!
