Bridal option

Upcoming brides looking for their special wedding day attire have a new place to shop with the opening of Luxe Bridal Rack, 700 N. Old Woodward, Birmingham. Master bridal stylist Maria Rubino opened her first Luxe Bridal Rack in Chicago’s up-and-coming Logan Square neighborhood in 2017, with the Birmingham location a quick second stop. Rubino said she spent years cultivating relationships with international designers and salons worldwide to make her stores a reality because “No one has time for disinterested employees looking for the highest commission, selling you a dress outside your budget.” Upcoming designer trunk shows at the store include Yaniv Persy, Maina Hughes and Pronovias. “Our store is intimate, immaculate and always warming,” Rubino said. “Let’s ditch the stress and nerves. Let’s have some fun.”
