Paula and Vicky Makkas don’t believe in just selling dresses. They believe in giving their customers an experience. At the Poinsett Bride, you know you’ll be treated more like family than customer, with the personal touch other retailers just can’t match.
“A wedding is so personal,” says Vicky, who opened the boutique five years ago with her mother-in-law Paula. “It’s not like buying a pair of jeans. It is a long process and Paula and I bond with each bride.”
Paula’s decades of sewing experience combined with Vicky’s business expertise means every customer walks out happy. Debutantes attending their first ball, mothers-of-the-bride seeking sophistication and style for their daughter’s big day, customers looking for cocktail wear that fits and flatters.
Paula, who has been sewing since age 11, is the on-site expert who can make miracles happen, from extensive alterations and custom veils to updating the most delicate 40-year-old gown. She has even been known to offer out-of-town brides fittings with same-day service, and is sought-after to help dress debutantes and brides prior to events and portraits. “I believe there is a solution for everything,” Paula says. “We are passionate about it. If it can happen, we will make it happen.”
