The only local wedding dress boutique owned by a wedding photographer
Pinerhust, Southern Pines, Aberdeen North Carolina
Hi! I'm Kaitlyn! I'm the proud owner of Bride of the Pines and as some have called me, the "Mary Poppins of Bridal!"
My journey in the world of bridal fashion has been quite an adventure filled with moments of creativity, collaboration, and genuine connection! Through my nine years of photography, especially during events like New York Bridal Fashion Week, I've had the incredible privilege of photographing stunning designs and now here I am curating bespoke collections for the store in collaboration with some of the most talented designers in the industry!
How lucky am I?! They are the best of the best!
But what truly sets my boutique apart is the close-knit relationships I've forged with these designers! These connections go beyond business; they're built on friendship, shared dreams, and a deep understanding of each other's creative vision. I can confidently say that when brides walk into my boutique, they're stepping into an unique world of incredible artistry and craftsmanship, with a sprinkle of whimsical fun!
It's amazing how much you learn when you're surrounded by love, laughter, and a whole lot of stunning bridal gowns! So cue the confetti and happy tears!

Love letters..
Bride of the Pines truly saved my wedding. 8 days before my wedding, I realized my dress that I bought at a different store had been altered poorly (to put it nicely). I called Bride of the Pines on Friday in a panic as I no longer had a wearable wedding dress. The owner was more than lovely, calmed me down, and told me she’d help me figure everything out. She opened the store early and helped me try on dresses I was able to buy off the rack. She ended up having the most perfect dress I even could have imagined. I had always envisioned getting married in a vintage satin classic timeless dress and she had just the one for me!!
Love letters..
Kaitlyn could not have made my gown shopping experience any better! The one on one personalized attention she gives you makes you feel like an absolute princess. The dresses that she handpicks are so unique and gorgeous. Most of the time she knew what I needed more than I did. I’m lucky enough to have her dreamy boutique in my backyard but I would travel far and wide to shop here!
Love letters..
Kaitlyn and her team are amazing and helped me find my perfect dress. After visits to multiple shops in Raleigh, shopping local with Bride of the Pines was the way to go! I cannot recommend this shop enough!
