The Story
Hey y'all! My name is Jennifer and I'm the owner of Mae's Bridal. Ever since I was a little girl I was obsessed with wedding dresses. For Halloween one year I wanted to be a bride, and ever since then I've loved beautiful white gowns. I have a special relationship with my Grandma, Donna Mae, who made her own wedding gown when she got married. She kept that dress and every time I'd visit she'd let me put it on and parade around the house. Once I decided that I wanted to create a wedding dress rental business, I knew I needed to name it after her....and thus Mae's Bridal was born.
About me! I grew up here in Sunny St. George, where I met my husband attending Dixie State University. As a poor college student it was difficult trying to find an affordable dress. We went all over the state of Utah to 8 different wedding dress shops. Back in 2017 there were no places to rent a dress, you could only buy. Fast forward to 2022 when some of my sisters were looking for their dream dresses, we had to travel to Northern Utah to rent. It was then I knew I wanted to start my own rental business to provide affordable dresses to brides in Southern Utah. And here we are!
