About Us
Women Founded. European Rooted. Bride Focused.
Only You Bridal is a women-owned, small business founded by a Bulgarian mother–daughter duo with a lifelong passion for fashion, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design.
Our journey began in a very personal way. When Dayana was searching for her own wedding gown in DFW, she was consistently underwhelmed by what was available—gowns that lacked quality, craftsmanship, and intention, often paired with long lead times and luxury price tags that felt unjustified. With a trained eye for fashion and a deep appreciation for European standards of design, she knew there had to be a better way.
That experience became the catalyst for Only You Bridal.
We founded our boutique with a clear promise: to offer exclusively European-sourced and European-made gowns, crafted with superior materials and artistry—without the expectation that luxury must cost $10,000+. Just as importantly, we committed to custom sizing, because we believe wholeheartedly in our company motto:
Serve the Customer Well.
