Imagine having an advocate from the moment you are presented with an engagement ring to your wedding day. Imagine walking into a New York City–style loft (but with warmth) and being offered a small-batch whiskey cocktail. You can shop the world’s best designers with top-flight service yet never feel pressured to buy at a certain price point. You can leave the family politics at the door. It’s casual elegance at its best.
That’s what has taken place at M. Elizabeth Bridal over the past 18 months as it transitioned from L’Atelier Couture into the capable hands of Marie Suchy, who also owns popular Posh Bridal and the Posh Rack, a bridal outlet. Additionally, lower price points have arrived, as has a curvy collection.
“We don’t base your experience on your size or your budget,” Suchy explains. “It’s just such a privilege to help women find the perfect dress. We become therapists. We let you have your moment.”
Her advice for landing the dress of your dreams? “If you put it on and feel like a million bucks, it’s the right one,” she says. “I know it takes a lot of patience and trust. That’s why we train all our consultants on all the designers. Everyone has hang-ups to navigate, but you know when it’s the right one. I still cry when we help someone find ‘the one.’”
