Saturday mornings are always exciting at SNB but last Saturday there was a particularly special excitement knowing that we were having Kayla Hughes in to shop for her wedding dress! Kayla is engaged to The Bachelorette Alum, JJ Lane, and they’re one of The Knot’s 20 weddings of 2020!
Our owner, Mindi, greeted Kayla and her photographer friend, Alyssa, when they walked into the boutique. As we do for every single person that walks into our doors, Mindi took the intentional time to get to know Kayla, asking about her and JJ’s love story and her vision for her wedding day.

At Something New we have a very tried and true process of helping our brides find the dress of their dreams. We really valued hearing about Kayla’s vision for her dream dress and after trying on the three different silhouettes she decided she loved the Fit & Flare! Which we totally agree with- the way that shape flatters her figure was so amazing!

Kayla was really moved to learn about our Brooklyn Grace Collection where all proceeds go to The Exodus Road, which shows so much about her heart and decided that she wanted to wear an original Brooklyn Grace dress to her wedding! Kayla & Mindi are creating a custom dress for her wedding and we couldn’t be more honored that she chose us to be a part of her wedding journey! Kayla was so incredibly sweet to everyone at the shop and we just loved having her and getting to know her.
