Our Mission
Family owned and operated, Brides by Young was born from the idea that every woman, regardless of her shape or size, should experience the joys of finding her dream dress. The inspiration came to Young from one of her very own brides who told her that she wished she could have tried on at least 10 wedding dress styles - not too demanding of a wish!
After this seed was planted in Young's mind, she knew that she would one day open Brides by Young to change the status quo of wedding dress shopping for mid to plus-size brides.
Why we do what we do.
“Our mission is not to simply have women “fit” into gowns. We offer a large selection of styles to choose from - bridal fashion for every woman! A woman’s bridal experience should not be limited by her wedding gown size… Every bride should feel beautiful for her wedding. There’s no settling when it comes to looking perfect on that special day!”
Background
Young has combined almost three decades of bridal management and manufacturing expertise to create Brides by Young - the largest plus-size bridal salon in the world! The 3 locations (Indianapolis, IN; Rochelle Park, NJ; & Schaumburg, IL) each boast over 600 wedding dress styles. This is just one of the many reasons that makes Young's vision for Brides by Young unique, our commitment to invest our energies to select the most beautiful collection of gowns in a range of sample sizes from 16-34.
At Brides by Young you will find world-famous bridal designer names such as Ashley & Justin, Demetrios, Eddy K, Essense of Australia, Martina Liana, Studio Levana, Stella York, and many more!
In addition to the amazing designers that we carry, Young also created her own bridal styles inspired by the ideas of our own customers, which has become our exclusive Unforgettable by Young collection! The line was designed specifically for the plus-size bride to fit and flatter every curve. The private collection is personally taken from concept to reality by Young, including the selection of fabrics, patterns, colors, and construction. The Unforgettable by Young collection offers high quality gowns inspired by you with the flexibility for custom sizing so that all of our brides feel seen, feel beautiful, and absolutely amazing on their wedding day.
