“Each day, my staff and I come to work ready to help our brides focus on their own happiness and embrace their unique beauty,” said Armstrong-Fowler, who said her boutique’s motto is “Style, Snatch and Slay”. “Every person deserves to feel and look phenomenal, especially on their wedding day, and we’re excited to share the journeys of our stunning brides with the world.”
