The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe was founded on the principle of providing brides with a carefully curated collection of designer wedding gowns in an intimate, comfortable, and encouraging setting for New Orleans brides and guests across the region. MaeMe was established in 2010 by Melissa Harris Estess after shopping locally for her own wedding dress and feeling convicted there was an opportunity to serve brides with more passion and intentionality than she experienced. Melissa’s desire to create an experience founded on principles of love, mentorship and faith led her to step away from her healthcare career as a registered nurse to pursue her vision for the boutique where brides could experience luxury, excellent customer service, and designer wedding dresses at affordable prices. A few years after opening the boutique, MaeMe’s growth led to Melissa’s parents Alan and Jeannine Harris joining the team as owner/managers. Together, the family continues to provide the very best shopping experience for brides and their loved ones as they embark on the journey of marriage.
