The Heart Behind Wanderlust
|
|
Wanderlust Bridal was created with one dream in mind: to reimagine what the bridal experience could feel like.
We saw a need for a space where every bride, no matter their size, style, story, or who they are marrying, can feel fully seen and celebrated. A space that felt both elevated and comfortable, curated and customizable. So we built it.
Since opening our first boutique in 2019, Wanderlust has grown into more than a bridal shop—it’s a haven for self-expression, creativity, and love without limits. Now located in the heart of Houston, we offer a one-of-a-kind experience where brides can discover gowns as unique as they are, surrounded by warmth, support, and joy.
We specialize exclusively in bridal, offering a globally sourced collection of wedding dresses that range from timeless silhouettes to bold, statement-making designs. Every bride who walks through our doors is met with intentionality, excitement, and care. Whether you’re just starting your search or you’ve tried on 100 gowns, our goal is to create a space that feels like a breath of fresh air—relaxed, real, and entirely about you. |
Our Mission
To create an inclusive, elevated bridal experience where every bride feels confident, celebrated, and inspired to express themself fully.
Our Vision
To be the boutique that changes how brides think bridal shopping should feel—personal, empowering, and unforgettable.
Our Values
Inclusivity. We welcome all bodies, backgrounds, and love stories—no exceptions.
Expression. We believe your dress should feel like an extension of you, not a compromise.
Care. Every appointment, recommendation, and gown is handled with genuine warmth and attention.
Creativity. We say “why not” more than we say no. From detachable sleeves to made-from-scratch gowns, we’re here to bring ideas to life.
Joy. This season of your life should feel exciting, not overwhelming. We’re here to make sure of that.

DJ, Founder/Owner
Have you ever had a dream so rooted in your heart, that you knew when the time was right it would blossom? For as long as she can remember DJ has loved the bridal industry. The thought of assisting a bride in finding a dress that embodies the love she feels is something she wanted to be part of. After years working in a corporate environment, DJ made the decision to follow her dreams and Wanderlust Bridal Boutique was born.
As a small-town girl, DJ wanted to provide brides an intimate comfortable environment to be authentically themselves. DJ and her team have created a welcoming small town feel with private bridal suites and a vision that every bride will feel like family the moment they walk in the door. We strive to offer a unique experience, fun and inviting where your most treasured memories can be made.

ANA
MEET ANA
Expert Bridal Stylist & Store Manager
For over 4 years, Ana has been the expert voice brides trust at Wanderlust Bridal. She has an incredible gift for capturing a bride’s vision and translating it into the gowns she pulls — often surprising them with a “wild card” dress that turns out to be the one.
Ana is especially skilled at helping brides envision what’s possible, pinning together details from different dresses to show how their dream gown could come to life through customizations. Bilingual in Spanish and English, she makes every bride feel understood, celebrated, and completely at ease throughout the journey. When she’s not creating magical bridal moments, Ana loves spending time with her family and friends, bringing the same warmth she shares in the boutique into her everyday life.
KINSEY
MEET KINSEY
Marketing Coordinator
As Wanderlust Bridal’s Marketing Coordinator, Kinsey is the creative voice behind our brand. She brings the Wanderlust story to life through social media, styled shoots, events, and all the little details that make our brides feel connected long before they step into the boutique. With an eye for storytelling and a passion for showcasing our globally curated gowns, Kinsey helps ensure every bride sees the magic of “Love Without Limits.” When she’s not dreaming up content or planning the next styled shoot, you’ll find her surrounded by her four rescue pitbulls — her favorite teammates when it comes to playtime and relaxing!
CHANNEL
MEET CHANNEL
Bridal Fashion Consultant
Channel may be the tiniest member of our team, but she has the biggest personality! This sweet rescue Pomeranian joined the Wanderlust family at Bridal Extravaganza 2025 through the SPCA, and she’s been stealing hearts ever since. As our official Bridal Fashion Consultant, Channel is known for greeting brides with tail wags, offering her “pick of the week,” and adding a little extra sparkle to every appointment. Just like Wanderlust, Channel stands for Love Without Limits — proving that every bride (and pup) deserves to feel celebrated.

KELSEY
Daughter
Like many girls, I have been scrolling Pinterest for wedding dresses since it was established, with a board dedicated to nearly every silhouette and style. When my mom decided to open a Bridal Boutique, I knew I wanted to be involved and I’m honored to be a co-founder of Wanderlust Bridal Boutique. While my career has taken me on a different path for now, you will still see me at events supporting a passion my mother truly loves!
AMANDA
Sister
With my degree in Fashion Merchandising and background working in the bridal dress industry, it was an easy "yes!" when my sister-in-law approached me with the genius idea of opening a bridal boutique in our hometown of Mont Belvieu, Texas. Becoming a co-founder of Wanderlust Bridal Boutique, has been an exciting family venture, that even my two little boys get to be a part of. The joy I receive from helping a bride find the most important article of clothing she will ever wear, is truly a magical experience.
