Experience Hand Selected Elegance at This Grand Rapids Bridal Salon: Meet BIANKA Bridal

"My experience with BIANKA Bridal this weekend was nothing short of amazing. Being my first appointment in the search for my wedding dress, I was surprised how quickly I found the perfect dress! My consultant was incredibly kind, sweet and helpful. She listened to my personal preferences and never hesitated to listen to my picky likes and dislikes. The atmosphere was amazing and the dresses were beautiful. All in all, I felt like a princess and loved every minute of it. I'm so excited to pick up my dress and wear it on such a special day!"

Do you have anything exciting that you would like to share?

"We are excited to open our doors back up since the start of the stay-at-home order. We have been anxiously waiting to meet with our brides again, for the continued safety of our staff and our brides we have safety procedures we will be implementing required by the CDC’s recommendations. These new safety standards include the following: intimate one-on-one appointments, health screening questions, masks required for anyone entering the boutique, pre-appointment interviews for a better appointment experience, as well as sanitation of the salon between appointments. We understand brides will be missing their entourages so virtual parties will be encouraged. We are so ecstatic to get back with our brides, helping them pick out their dream dress and we are so grateful for the patience, kindness and understanding as well all navigate this together."

What inspires you to be in the wedding industry?

"Teresa and the rest of the BIANKA Bridal team often find themselves in tears after appointments. The day is often not just an emotional one for the family, friends and the bridal party, but the stylist as well. Meeting a bride, hearing her story, picturing the big day with her and seeing the love she has for her future spouse is inspiring. Getting to share in such intimate moments, in such an empowering appointment is why each and every person on the BIANKA Bridal team is excited to show up to work every single day. Oh, and the beautiful dresses of course!"

What do you love most about working with couples?

"There are a lot of decisions we must make in our day, what to wear, what to have for lunch, what we want to do over the weekend. It is estimated that an average adult makes 35,000 decisions a day. We here at BIANKA Bridal believe that one of the most important decisions anyone could ever make is to choose to get married. We know that there are many choices when it comes to weddings and wedding planning before a couple can stand in front of their friends and family and declare their love for one another. We here at BIANKA Bridal want to help make the dress decision a fun, smooth and painless one."
