Owner, Laura Mullen

I first set foot in Lily Saratoga back in 2009 and fell in love with its charm and welcoming atmosphere. At the time, I was working for a family-owned jewelry store, which is where I gained an appreciation for small businesses and became enamored with the wedding industry. I loved working the bridal counter at the jewelry store, there’s so much emotion, meaning and trust that goes into the purchase of engagement rings and wedding bands.

Fast forward to 2014, and one of the owners, Maureen, approached me and asked me if I’d be interested in taking over her boutique. Though it was never something I had thought of before, I was incredibly honored and knew in my heart that this was the right move for me. The transition of ownership was completed in the Fall of 2014.

I’ve always strived to maintain Lily’s charm and core values while continuing to evolve, cultivating a larger online presence and diversifying our collection of wedding dresses. Owning Lily Saratoga has given me the opportunity to meet amazing people and share in some incredible memories!

This Lily Lady graduated from SUNY Oneonta with a Bachelors in Textile Science. She truly loves fashion and helping brides create their perfect wedding day look.

Something you want people to know about Lilys? How truly unique and wonderful every single person who has ever worked at Lily is. How important it is that this shop is run and staffed by all women.

Favorite dress in the store? Sofia by Enaura Bridal

What is your favorite question to ask brides during an appointment? What is the vibe of the wedding? I love getting to hear all of the details of the brides wedding day and learning the special touches that each couple is putting on their wedding day!

What is a piece of advice that you would give to a bride coming dress shopping for the first time at Lily Saratoga? Be open to trying on new styles. Gowns look much different on a hanger than they can on you, try something that you think you won’t like, you truly never know!

What is your current favorite bridal trend? The two in one bridal gown look!
