Our Founders’ Story

Wedding planning can be overwhelming — especially when looking for a dress that brings out your best without breaking the bank.

As past brides ourselves, we (unfortunately) remember the planning process all too well: having to nip, tuck, and cut the things we really wanted just to appease everyone else involved.

For me (Hien) that meant spending extra, unexpectedly, on a second dress for a traditional Vietnamese wedding my parents wanted FOR me. With my budget and the burden of storing a second dress in mind, I looked everywhere hoping to rent.

To my dismay, no rental options were available at the time.

This is why we founded Dare and Dazzle: to enable one-of-a-kind brides like you to plan the day you deserve, without compromise.

Because as tradition fades and makes way for unapologetic brides like YOU to shine (well, and your partner 😉), you deserve a wedding dress, AND fitting process, that puts your needs, dreams, and values first.

So whether you’re planning a big bash or an intimate elopement, our team is here to make sure you look fabulous AND feel great before and on your wedding day.

Reserve your appointment and come experience the Dare and Dazzle Difference for yourself. We look forward to serving you soon!
