It’s been said that a wedding dress is both an intimate and a personal for the woman.  It must respect the personality and style of the bride. Kathy Waller knows this to be true and her Prior Lake store, All About Brides, is a lovely and innovative shop to plan and prepare for the Big Day.

She’s located her store at 16511 Anna Trail SE in Prior Lake.  It’s directly behind Prior Lake State Bank.  Her location is unassuming but her shopping selections are not.  All About Brides is bold.  She carries Casablanca, a brand name known for designing and producing truly special and unique wedding dresses for today's fashion-savvy bride.

Kathy understands the bride is nothing without her bridal party, a select group of chosen friends that are near and dear to her. She’s there to help the bride make the absolute best choices, a process that isn’t always easy.  “We love that we can show them wedding dresses from the House of Wu Bridal Collections.  I regard us as the glue that helps keep the bride together throughout the whole wedding planning process”, she says.  Even the groom is destined to look great with distinct brands such as Tip Top Tux to choose from. 

She’s managed to transform All About Brides into a broader destination, encompassing even the guys.  Tuxes and other accessories are offered in true contemporary style.  If the occasion is a prom, it’s almost assured that it will be a stylish one for both guys and gals.  Studio 17, Tiffany Designs, Hannas and Night Mores by Allure help comprise one of the best prom shopping destinations in the entire metro area. 

All About Brides started in 2009.  Kathy moved the store into its current location six months ago.  She and her husband, Kevin, have two children and four grandchildren.  The idea for the store came to her when she “saw a gap” in the retail bridal market in the southern suburbs.  “I wanted to bring the area a store that was truly reflective of the most sophisticated tastes and fashion sense”, she said. 

What is perhaps most impressive about her store is the personal touch she and the staff bring it.  The personal engagement with her customers is genuine.  Clients love to share stories of her and her staff managing even the smallest details with maximum efficiency and in many instances crying and smiling right along with their bridal parties. 

There’s no doubt that it takes a special person to trust with the choices and details of one’s most important day.  It seems Kathy Waller and All About Brides has earned that trust.  Her store is a Prior Lake original.
