SHOP MANAGER

hi friends, i’m teresa and i’m the manager here at strike bridal bar!

i found my way into bridal after planning my own wedding and completely falling in love with the industry. after leaving a corporate career in a male-dominated field, i followed that spark and never looked back. what i love most about strike is helping women feel like the most beautiful, confident, empowered versions of themselves on such a meaningful day. being surrounded by love, gorgeous dresses, and incredible people every day is pretty special, and getting to watch my daughter grow up in the shop along the way makes it even more meaningful.

when i’m not at strike, i’m usually in the kitchen dreaming up my next blue-ribbon-winning cookie, reading just about anything, watching reality tv, or sending in yet another survivor audition tape. i also love a good project - art, crafts, and home improvement are always calling my name.

“i absolutely LOVED my dress, i wish i could wear it everyday. my experience with strike was amazing every single step of the way. we worked with teresa, who was so sweet, comforting, and definitely knew what she was doing. the space to try on dresses was GORGEOUS! gave you a perfect feel for my special day. i was able to shed my tears once i found the one. they made sure everything turned out as perfect as i wanted for my dress. the quality of the dresses is unmatched to other bridal shops i had been to. my wedding pictures speak for themselves, but i would highly recommend strike bridal bar!”

what our brides have to say about Teresa...

“i was apprehensive about trying on wedding gowns because i was just so unsure what the process would feel like, and what emotions would be pulled. however, my expectations were completely blown out of the water when i walked into strike. right away, i felt like i was being taken care of by an older sister- someone who was looking out for my best interest and what would truly make me the happiest, and most comfortable. teresa was, and is, truly one of the most radiant and most helpful individuals that i've ever met. she made the process seem so easy, she never rushed me, pressured me, or tried to convince me of anything. i felt like the dress that i chose and the moment that i said yes was truly about me and my future partner- i felt so special at strike. i think that's probably what i rave about most when i talk about this special day- it's how special the individuals who work at strike have the capability to make everyone who steps foot into it feel completely special.”

“strike was truly the PERFECT place to find my dream wedding dress. i knew i wanted something classic with a modern twist, and strike had the most unique, beautiful options!! my group and i had so much at our appointment and teresa made things so easy with her “tournament” style method of choosing. i felt supported and listened to fully during my appointment - something that is SO important when you’re trying to encompass your entire essence into a dress. ultimately, i never felt pressured to make a purchase and i loved everything about my experience at strike. it’s so special that they carry dresses that are exclusive to them and can’t be found anywhere else! communication was clear while i waited for my dress to come in and i really appreciated their alterations recommendations as well.”
