Debbie WelcherOwner / Founder Chatfields Bridal Boutique

Debbie Welcher always knew she had an Entrepreneurial spirit and had dreamed of owning her own boutique shop. Her dream became a reality over a year ago leaving a successful career as a Corporate Executive to start a unique bridal store featuring hard-to-find wedding gowns. With so many thriving bridal shops in the St. Louis area, she knew to be truly successful; she needed to offer brides something different.

Debbie saw firsthand how difficult it was to find a modest wedding gown based on her husband’s family religious beliefs. Many of the brides paid a great deal to alter the top so it would be suitable for their ceremony or purchased a dress on the internet. Almost all the brides were unhappy for what should be one of the happiest days of their lives.

Her tagline is An Unexpected Wedding Store, for Brides Expecting Something Special, and that’s exactly what her customers get. In an endless sea of strapless options, Chatfields serves brides that choose a modest wedding dress. Chatfields’ gowns feature modest necklines and sleeves of various lengths.

Many of her customers are religious brides, plus size brides, 2nd time brides and older brides. One of the benefits of choosing Chatfields Bridal shop is that she is familiar with the various faiths she serves. Many ceremonies require certain details about a wedding dress. Debbie has worked closely with religious leaders and her brides to understand the requirements, ensuring the brides’ dress is completely appropriate for her ceremony.

Debbie believes wholeheartedly that leaving the corporate world and opening her shop was the best decision she ever made.
