About Us

Marina’s journey to founding Grace & Gown started the same way many bridal stories do—with a ring, a dream dress in mind, and a whole lot of excitement. But as she began shopping for her own gown, that excitement quickly turned into frustration. Despite years of working in the bridal industry, nothing quite prepared her for the emotional whirlwind of trying to find a gown that was both stunning and modest—without needing a complete redesign.

Along the way, she realized she wasn’t alone. Marina had already spent years supporting brides through similar challenges—whether it was searching for a modest gown, trying to find a style that felt true to their values, or facing the heartbreak of being told the store didn’t carry their size. She listened to far too many stories of brides feeling unseen, unheard, or simply not beautiful enough because of a lack of options.

That didn’t sit right with her. So, she did what any passionate, wedding-obsessed, people-loving woman would do—she opened her own boutique.

Grace & Gown was born from a desire to create something different: a warm, inclusive space where every bride, every body, and every style is celebrated. Marina’s mission is simple—no bride should leave an appointment feeling anything less than radiant. She brings her whole heart, industry experience, and fierce love for people into every gown, every fitting, and every “yes” moment.

When you walk into Grace & Gown, you’re not just shopping—you’re being seen, celebrated, and wrapped in the kind of support that makes you feel truly beautiful—inside and out.
