Something Blue Through the Eras: Celebrating 13 Years
Happy 13th birthday to Something Blue Bridal Boutique! As we mark this exciting milestone, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, reflecting on the incredible journey that has shaped our boutique into the beloved Houston landmark it is today. In the spirit of Taylor Swift, who’s known for her special connection to the number 13, we’re celebrating this momentous year with a look back through the "eras" of our boutique's history—each one defined by its own unique style, memories, and milestones.
It all began in January 2012, when we opened our doors as a family-owned boutique with a vision: to create a space where brides could find not just a dress, but an experience. Our boutique quickly became a hub for those seeking personalized, elegant bridal fashion that felt both timeless and modern. Our commitment to quality, service, and creating unforgettable memories set the foundation for what was to come.
In these early years, Something Blue Bridal Boutique blossomed, forming deep relationships with brides, vendors, and the Houston community. We expanded our offerings to include more designers and styles, bringing a carefully curated selection of bridal gowns to brides with varied tastes. It was during this era that our boutique truly solidified its reputation for offering a personalized, welcoming experience.
As trends evolved, so did we. We embraced the changing landscape of bridal fashion, bringing in new collections, more inclusive size ranges, and cutting-edge trends. Our boutique became a hub for brides looking for the latest in both classic and contemporary bridal styles. But more than just bridal fashion, we made sure our boutique was a place where memories were created.
In 2019, Something Blue Bridal Boutique took a giant leap forward by moving to a larger, more spacious location. This exciting change allowed us to better serve our brides and offer an even more comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. With the expanded space, we were able to display more gowns, host private bridal appointments, and create the perfect environment for brides to say “yes” to their dress in style.
When the world shut down in 2020, our boutique faced the challenge of staying connected with brides during uncertain times. Despite the challenges, we leaned on the strength of our team and the support of our loyal brides. During lockdown we pivoted to personalized virtual consultations, allowing brides to continue their wedding planning while staying safe at home. We worked hard to ensure each bride still felt the magic and excitement of finding their dream gown, even in the most uncertain times
As life around us started up again, Something Blue Bridal Boutique embraced its next era with excitement. We’ve expanded our offerings to include not only bridal gowns but also a growing selection of accessories, evening gowns, tuxes and more. As we continue to look toward the future, we remain committed to our roots—building connections, offering exceptional service, and creating magical moments for everyone who walks through our doors.
The future is bright for Something Blue Bridal Boutique. We’re excited to continue serving brides and expanding our legacy, and we’re so grateful for the love and support we’ve received over the past 13 years. As we reflect on our journey through the eras, we’re reminded of the power of community, family, and the special bond we share with every bride who chooses to say “yes” to their perfect dress at Something Blue.
Here's to the next chapter—and many more years of bridal magic!
