Britta Barts, founder of Dream Bridal LA is extremely passionate about two loves. First and foremost her husband Brennan and a very close second, her baby, Dream Bridal LA. Once upon a time, Britta began a career in finance for a Fortune 500 company. She worked hard to climb the corporate ladder, revel in job security and ultimately achieve the American Dream. She realized very quickly, however, that this path was never going to lead to her happy ending.
Always an entrepreneur at heart, Britta birthed Dream Bridal LA shortly after her own wedding. She systematically planned out a budget for the Big Day and set out to bring the pretty picture she had painted in her head to life. Britta began her search for the perfect dress, and was instantly attracted to the big name designer gowns, their scrumptious fabrics, chic styles and (just maybe a little) the cache. While she had no doubt she could find the dress to make her perfect day perfectly complete, she just couldn’t bring herself to shell out thousands of dollars on a gown she would wear for one day.
Britta continued researching options for finding her dress equivalent of a soul mate, and discovered a “black market” of wedding gown re-sale. Other fashion and budget savvy brides were wheeling and dealing to find the designer gown they always wanted without breaking the bridal bank. Britta ultimately met her match in a beautiful Monique Lhullier gown from a bride who no longer needed it, and she made it her own. After the “I do’s” Britta was inspired to pursue a career that was both fulfilling and enjoyable. Her mission was clear in offering a service to other brides-to-be that would allow them to have the same success she did in finding the perfect dress.
Dream Bridal LA rolls out the red (errr… flower petal covered) carpet for brides who want to find a beautiful designer dress that makes them scream, “this is it” without saying the same of their bank account. Britta specializes in selling new, sample and gently worn high end gowns from designers such as Vera Wang, Monique Lhullier, Melissa Sweet, Jim Hjelm and many more. She prides herself on top-notch customer service and making dress dreams come true.
In the past year alone, Dream Bridal LA has worked with hundreds of brides around the world. Britta’s fashion and wedding expertise consistently pleases beyond all expectations and she goes above and beyond to keep it that way. Always knowledgeable about the latest designers and trends, she offers expert advice while always encouraging the bride to find out what is truly right for them.
Here are a few beauties:
Vintage Brides, get ready to party! This gown is so perfect for your art deco inspired event. Delicate French chantilly lace with guipure fringe detail will make your guests gasp for air. The detail on this gown never ends and includes three pearl strands at the neckline. The lining is 100% silk. We could write a novel about this gown, it's that fab.
Jenny Packham 'Elizabeth'
Retail: $3,700
DBLA: $2,600
Collection: Fall 2008
Elizabeth has returned to DBLA's inventory once more, and we're ecstatic! Super luxurious ivory silk chiffon is draped in a fab empire silhouette. The jewel detail at the bust and shoulders is too perfect. The chiffon 'wings' tacked at the shoulders will allow you to float effortlessly down the aisle. At DBLA, we're always making dreams come true!
Monique Lhuillier 'Randi'
Retail: $4,250
DBLA: $2,200
Collection: Spring 2009
Hold up, wait a minute, is DBLA lucky enough to offer its second ML 'Randi' gown? Indeed. An ivory silk charmeuse slip is highlighted by a fab ivory Alençon lace overlay. Just like 'Scarlet' or 'Miranda', 'Randi' is sure to please, and she's a current, 2009 collection gown! Too cool for school.
