What Love & Lily BRIDAL does

Love & Lily BRIDAL is a single-location bridal boutique operating at 13A W Potomac Street in Brunswick, Maryland. Founded and owned by designer Cathy Cleveland, who developed the concept while working in New York City before relocating the business to her hometown, the boutique serves individual brides seeking wedding attire through three integrated offerings: off-the-rack gowns sourced from international ateliers and artists, semi-custom design options allowing personalization, and on-site alterations to ensure proper fit. The store operates exclusively by appointment, producing a personalized one-on-one shopping experience, and positions itself against mass-market bridal retail by emphasizing small-factory production quality and unique global sourcing.
