Mesita Partridge/Ivory Bridal and Formal 
Mesita has worked in the hospitality industry for 7 years and has gained a lot of experience planning corporate and social events. Her favorite event has been weddings. Weddings are always challenging, yet fun helping brides with their big day.
Opening a salon has been a dream since college. Around the time of her own wedding, Mesita decided to make that dream a reality. During the process of shopping for her own gown, some of the shops she visited seemed to all fall short in some areas. For her shop, she wanted to create an intimate boutique, with an experience all about the bride, not just the sell. Mesita’s goal is to offer only the best in customer service and inventory to fit women of various sizes. Hence, Ivory Bridal was born. Mesita invites you to a unique shopping experience in Smyrna’s premier bridal salon where “It’s All About The Dress”.
