About Us: The Maine Bride

Welcome to The Maine Bride, where your journey to a perfect wedding begins. Our story began decades ago in picturesque coastal Maine, where our founder John Dunham worked at The Republican Journal weekly newspaper in advertising. He put together many specialty pages including Wedding Directories, Birthday and Anniversary pages for the paper’s advertising department. The newspaper experience inspired him to create an online regional network of bridal websites tailored to couples wanting to get married in New England, or spend their honeymoon here. It was not until he retired that he had the time to develop his dream of an online bridal network that catered to a specific region. He wanted to devote more time to couples and local vendors and service providers that larger sites just didn’t seem to do. Today John’s dream is growing. Each day New England Bridal.com grows. It is a massive undertaking developing the parent site and the six individual bride sites including The Maine Bride, but seeing the bridal network grow as more couples and vendors use our sites to create the perfect wedding experience makes the tasks worth it. Our emporium is dedicated to making every bride’s dream come true. We believe that every love story is unique and deserves to be celebrated in a special way.

At The Maine Bride, we offer a curated collection of exquisite bridal gowns that reflect a blend of timeless elegance and modern trends. Our selection includes designs from renowned designers who prioritize quality and craftsmanship. Whether you’re envisioning a classic, romantic look or a chic, contemporary style, we have you covered with the perfect dress to match your vision.
