Vintage Bridal: The Salon Experience
Explore beautifully restored vintage pieces in our private, sun-drenched ground-floor showroom, with our creative atelier just upstairs. Maybelle is more than a design studio—it's a nurturing, creative space where bridal visions are brought to life gracefully. This is just a glimpse. So many unique wedding pieces await you at our private, ground-floor showroom.
The Maybelle Edit: Heritage Sourced. Bespoke Reimagining.
We source rare historical treasures and let the materials lead the way. Whether salvaging an exquisite vintage skirt or completely deconstructing a silhouette, our process is one of bespoke reimagining.
By marrying salvaged heritage with modern architecture and premium deadstock materials, I ensure you never look like a relic—you look like a bride with a story. At Maybelle, we aren't just looking at the past; we’re designing the future of sustainable bridal artistry.

I absolutely cannot recommend Christine and Maybelle enough. I brought my grandmothers dress (from the 1940’s) to be restyled for my wedding and not only was it lovingly cared for (steamed, cleaned, and safe), but I had the choice of 3 different designs for the recreation. My dress was transformed, fit me perfectly, was on trend for the season and was the talk of my whole wedding.

Christine was wonderful to work with and truly made the process of up cycling my mother’s wedding dress from the 80’s so easy and enjoyable. She was professional, communicative, and did an incredible job bringing my vision to life. I ended up loving the dress so much I wore it for more occasions than I had originally planned. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering wanting to wear a vintage dress!

Maybelle found and restored a stunning 1960’s dress, which I wore to my wedding. Several guests said it was the most beautiful dress they’d ever seen, and I agree. I’d been to other stores and found nothing I wanted - but at Maybelle I loved three different dresses. Her work is so unique, with high quality dresses that you truly could not find anywhere else. Can’t recommend enough. -

I cannot state enough how incredible it was working with Maybelle. Christine is professional, talented and supportive through out this entire journey. She was creative and innovative and made this process so easy and so personal! I love that I am able to wear my mothers wedding dress with a modern twist and cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day!

Christine is amazing to work with. She helped me redesign my mom's wedding dress from the 80s. From start to finish, the whole process was seamless and easy. I'd highly recommend working with her!

Christine has the rare kind of talent that blends technique, creativity, and heart and soul, into all of her pieces. Her ability to know what to do to make a garment fit, compliment the body, and highlight materials …make her a joy to work with.

Christine made it such a seamless process. She is so very talented where we were able to take my mom’s 90s dress to a cute two piece top and skirt for an elevated reception look. I’m so beyond impressed with the final result and can’t wait to wear for my reception.
