House of RenHue: How Two Women Took Their Industry Experience to Design an Inclusive Bridal Line for the Modern Woman

Maggie Wilson and Tara Strobach founded House of RenHue after they bonded while working at Monique Lhuillier over their love of fashion. Following their tenure together and their experience in the bridal and fashion industry, they soon came to realize that there was no line already in existence to serve the modern bride that was both size inclusive and affordable. Which is exactly how House of RenHue came to be.
 
Tune in to this episode to hear the catalyst of how co-founders Maggie and Tara were brought back together by a goal to design a line of dream gowns for modern brides that focused on quality, inclusivity, and a faster standard delivery timeline. Between these two founders and their 20 years of bridal experience, this episode will give you the need to know information surrounding gowns, the bridal industry and even what to wear and look for when you go to find your dream dress (and try it on too!).
