Annie is the BEST. She's truly so passionate about her brand and the dresses she brings in. I have a blast trying on dresses in her studio & wish I could buy a million more dresses from her. I would recommend her to anyone & everyone!

I wish I could give Ivory & Ash more than five stars. I spent the weekend wedding dress shopping with my daughter in the Cleveland/Akron area. All of our appointments at all of the bridal stores we visited were fine. No complaints. However, for the most part, they were also fairly impersonal and similar (just another bride, just another dress, just another mother-of-the-bride to deal with, six- to eight-month lead time on ordering, and another two- to three-months for alterations). Then there was Annie McGinty of Ivory & Ash in Hudson, Ohio where we had an EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE that raised our expectations as buyers and should raise the bar for her competition in this market space as well. (Note the emphasis on ‘experience' vs. 'appointment.') The other bridal shops were TRANSACTIONAL: a 90-minute appointment to try on a limited number of dresses. The bride needs to know exactly what she wants, as the sales associates seem to be trained not give advice or opinions. Contrast this with our RELATIONAL Ivory & Ash experience. We didn’t use her novel, and may I add genius, in-home consultation model (especially during these uncertain COVID times), but rather went to Annie’s in-home studio. She’d done her homework before we even arrived. Annie had asked about my daughter’s style preferences and budget and had a list of dresses that fit both waiting for us. Moreover, she was also more than willing to let my daughter look at ALL of her dresses. She curates her collection with bridal gowns made by female-owned, independent designers with sustainable practices—from Belgium, Portugal, Australia, etc.—along with family-owned design firms. She knows her designers personally, including their stories and differentiators (e.g. the Belgian design firm that has been in the family for 150 years and has access to unique lace no one else is able to source). She offered us champagne and mouthwatering macaroons, which we didn’t drink or eat at the time, but were cutely wrapped for us to take home when we left. Annie’s background is in architecture, interior design, and trade show exhibition for a national account. The trifecta of her combined background was more than evident and informed our entire experience. Annie doesn’t just help the bride-to-be try on dresses; she styles the bride. She took direction from my daughter but also showed her options she hadn’t even considered, but ended up loving. Annie’s business is just that—HER business. Her passion for it and for creating one-of-a-kind client experiences resonates with every detail of the process. If you are looking to have a positive and memorable bridal shopping EXPERIENCE, with fabric, lace, and design that you will not see anywhere else, Ivory & Ash is where you should begin and end your journey.

I met Annie at a pop up today in the Stow area. I know how important positive feedback is for small businesses, so if you’re considering using her business or scheduling a styling session, I wouldn’t hesitate! Annie was SO nice and accommodating and let me try on all the dresses I wanted. She carries beautifully curated designers and really got us excited! She even offered to call the designer of a dress I loved in Belgium to see if they had a larger sample size so I could get a feel for the dress if it were better fitted. Thank you for a positive experience, Ivory & Ash!

Ivory & Ash is in one word amazing! Annie has created such a cool new concept in the local bridal market. A wedding dress boutique that comes to you! With sustainably made, high fashion gowns for every style. No more schlepping your 10 bridesmaids to a tiny shop. You can all hang out at home and take your time choosing your perfect dress. Annie is so fun and knowledgeable about her products and trends. She’s in direct contact with her designers so you can get a really custom experience. I wish she would have been around when I was dress shopping! As a wedding photographer I highly recommend her!

WOW! Annie is AMAZING! She has an eye for bridal style and she knows exactly what to put on you to make you feel like the best version of yourself. I love that she travels and I don't have to be in a tight bright bridal salon when looking for the perfect dress! I wish I could get married all over again just for this experience!
