Frannie & Joe Bridal: An Intimate Experience in the Heart of Downtown Hamilton

Sisters Ellie and Mariana both have a passion for the wedding industry and fashion. Inspired by their cherished grandparents, after whom the boutique is lovingly named, Frannie & Joe Bridal beautifully blends timeless elegance with a touch of modern romance. Ellie and Mariana are dedicated to helping brides find the perfect gown, bringing together classic beauty in every dress they offer.

The Beginning

When Mariana began her search for the perfect wedding dress, she quickly realized a need for a bridal boutique closer to home, serving brides in and around the Butler County area. It was while on vacation in Naples, Florida, that Mariana found her dream gown at a charming, intimate boutique—and this experience sparked her vision for creating a similar destination for brides.

She envisioned a place where brides near and far could find their dream dress in downtown Hamilton, enjoying an intimate, personalized experience that makes their search as special as the big day itself.

"You don't really think about buying your wedding dress when traveling, but that is definitely a big goal for us — to be well known by everyone in Ohio," Ellie says. "Whether you're traveling to us or you just happen to be walking past the shop — come on in, we'd love to meet you."

Frannie & Joe Bridal

Frannie & Joe Bridal offers an intimate, 900 sq/ft boutique setting designed to give brides a truly personalized experience during their 90-minute appointment. Brides and their guests will have exclusive access to the entire store (plus complementary champagne!), receiving one-on-one attention and guidance from either Ellie or Mariana to make the search for the perfect dress unforgettable.

"While we don't have a huge selection of dresses, our collection really hits one of everything," Ellie begins. "You will find something you love here, and you won't be overwhelmed by too many choices."

One Stop Shop

Ellie and Mariana are thrilled about Ciao Vino, a new wine bar opening right next door. After all, what better way to celebrate saying "yes" to the dress than by toasting with a glass of wine with your girls?

"There's a lot more to do here than just buy your wedding dress," Ellie explains. "It can be a whole day experience for you and the girls you bring. There's restaurants, bars, shopping, and even if you don’t find the perfect dress, you can check out local venues or pop over to Luke’s Custom Cakes across the street for a cake tasting."
