Shadia

Shadia – Owner & Founder of Ve’Lace Bridal

Behind Ve’Lace Bridal : Meet Our Founder

Business has always been in my blood. Growing up, I watched my father build and own multiple businesses, and from a young age I was immersed in the world of small business. That early exposure shaped my work ethic and ambition, eventually leading me to study business in school and earn my degree. While I always knew I would one day own a business, it wasn’t until my own bridal moment that I knew it would be in bridal.

Interestingly, even as a little girl I was captivated by brides. I’ll never forget driving with my dad and seeing a bride step out of a limo. I was mesmerized! I begged my Dad to stop the car and to this day, I can still picture her making her way up the church steps. Today, wedding gowns still inspire me, but even more meaningful is being part of a bride’s journey. My heart is in creating an experience where every bride feels seen, celebrated, and truly cared for- like a sister. I can’t wait to welcome you and give you the experience you deserve!

Ryan – Store Manager

As Store Manager at Ve’Lace Bridal, Ryan is passionate about creating an environment where every bride feels comfortable, confident, and completely herself. She understands that bridal appointments can feel overwhelming—and works intentionally to make the experience feel relaxed, supportive, and genuinely fun. Watching a bride arrive feeling nervous and leave feeling empowered and radiant is what makes her role so rewarding.

Get to Know Ryan

What do you love most about helping brides say “yes”?
I love creating an atmosphere where a bride feels comfortable enough to be herself. Many women come into their appointment feeling nervous or unsure, which is totally normal. My goal is always to put the bride at ease and make the experience fun and painless. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a bride’s confidence grow as she finds her dream dress.

What’s your favorite thing about working at Ve’Lace Bridal?
Working closely with Shadia and our incredible designers to select new gowns for the boutique. We put so much thought and care into choosing pieces we know our brides will love, and it’s so rewarding to see them try those gowns on. And honestly—getting to try the gowns on myself is pretty great, too!

How would you describe your bridal style?
Couture, unique, and dramatic.

One thing brides would be surprised to know about you?
I’m an avid reader! I’ve loved books since I was little, and that passion has only grown. In 2025, I read 50 books and plan to read even more this year. My all-time favorite series is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas—but I’ll read just about anything.

Your #1 dress-shopping tip for brides?
Be open-minded. It’s great to come prepared, but having a one-track mindset can limit the experience. Wedding gowns are completely different from everyday clothing—they look totally different on the hanger than they do on the body. The brides who have the most fun (and the most success) are the ones who trust the process, try new things, and stay open to the experience.

Get to Know Liz

What do you love most about helping brides say “yes”?
I love seeing the moment their expression changes—sometimes it’s something only we as bridal stylists recognize. That look says, “I’m marrying my best friend, and I want to wear this while doing it.”

Favorite thing about working at Ve’Lace Bridal?
Watching a bride’s confidence grow throughout the appointment, especially when dress shopping wasn’t something they were excited or comfortable about at first.

Your bridal style in three words?
Modern, classy, boho.

One thing brides would be surprised to know about you?
Before bridal, I used to clean up crime scenes.

Your #1 dress-shopping tip for brides?
Keep an open mind. Dresses on hangers don’t do the same justice as a gown does on a body.

Princess, whimsical, and unique.

One thing brides would be surprised to know about you?
My favorite way to de-stress is being in a mosh pit.

Your #1 dress-shopping tip for brides?
Be selective about who you bring to your appointment. Your guests should hype you up and make you feel amazing. I’ve found that 3–4 guests is the perfect number.

The day I said “yes” to my own bridal gown was the day I realized what I was meant to do. My bridal experience was so magical and unforgettable that it stayed with me, guiding me to create the kind of place I wished every bride could have.

Even as a little girl, I was in awe of brides. I’ll never forget driving with my dad and seeing a bride step out of a limo, making her way up the church steps. I was so mesmerized that I begged him to stop the car. I can still picture her gown perfectly and remember how beautiful she looked.

That feeling of wonder has never gone away for me. Today, wedding gowns still fascinate me, but even more, it’s the joy of being part of a bride’s special journey that inspires me. My heart is in making sure each bride feels seen, celebrated, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and give you a bridal experience you’ll always cherish.
