When the doors to Donna Marie s Bridal Shoppe first opened nearly five decades ago, time-honored traditions were woven into almost every aspect of the wedding celebration. Over the years, Donna Marie Magaro-Dye, the store’s owner and namesake, has witnessed a host of radical changes to the event, from the vows to the venues, but her brides-to-be have held onto that resilient thread of tradition when choosing their wedding gowns and the bridal consultant is well-prepared to fulfill their wishes. I enjoy working with brides and being part of a very important day in their lives, she says, adding, Even though white and ivory-colored gowns are still popular, I find it very rewarding when I can devise creative ways to accommodate different tastes in clothing, customs, wants and needs. As she observes, It is an honor to be trusted with making sure that the bride s wedding dress is perfect for her, and I don t take that enormous responsibility lightly.
