We know that this has been a very trying couple of months for all of us, but we have some news. As of Tuesday, June 2nd, Vanessa’s Modern Bride will be reopening but implementing the following policies and procedures, guided by CDC guidelines. We will be doing so in order to maintain the health and safety of our staff and clients during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the new procedures, we will try to the best of our abilities to give our brides the exceptional service and experience that we have been known for over the last 35 years.
