Women in Business: The Bridal Lounge

Celebrating their fifth year on Austin Friars Street, Mullingar this coming April, multi-award winning boutique, The Bridal Lounge, has quickly become one of Ireland’s leading bridal boutiques for the modern day bride, and attracts brides to be from all over the country.

Business owner Abi Manning brings a wealth of experience from her background in retail and customer service management enabling her to identify and deliver on both the bridal experience and ultimately, the dress!

“Our specially curated collection of gowns possess an eclectic mix of classic elegance, modern romance and bohemian luxe,” said Abi.

“We champion individuality in our brides and thrive on helping you, our bride, establish and bring to life your unique bridal look and style - evident in our expertise, attention to detail and pure passion for all things bridal!”

Since she founded The Bridal Lounge in 2016, Abi has experienced some of the biggest highlights and challenges that a business could encounter.

They range from the refurb of the original shop at Coyne’s Corner to the honour Abi feels having been able to dress hundreds of brides for the biggest days of their lives, wining numerous awards in the wedding industry too, and facing the challenges of Brexit and Covid, and finally undergoing a huge expansion into a second retail unit to create a secondary showroom and private fitting suite.
