Meet Phaedra

Finding your wedding dress is about so much more than saying"yes"

to a gown—it's about feeling confident, beautiful, and truly yourself.

I'm Phaedra Pistone, the owner of Classic Bride & Formals, and it's my

passion to create an unforgettable bridal experience where every bride

feels celebrated from the moment she walks through our doors. I believe

choosing your wedding gown should be joyful, personal, and completely

stress-free.

My journey has taken me through business ownership, pageantry, and

advocacy. As a former Mrs. International 2025, two-time breast cancer

survivor, and founder of Check Your 2 on the 2nd, I've learned that

confidence isn't something you wear—it's something you feel. Those

experiences have shaped the heart behind Classic Bride & Formals and remind me every day that every woman deserves to feel beautiful and empowered. With a degree from High Point University and years of experience helping women look and feel their best, I've built Classic Bride & Formals on one simple belief: every bride deserves personalized attention, honest guidance, and a boutique experience that feels as special as the day she's planning.

 

Whether you're searching for the dress you've always imagined or discovering a style you never expected to love, my team and I are honored to be part of your story.

I can't wait to help you find the gown that makes you feel like the very best version of yourself. Welcome to Classic Bride & Formals—we're so glad you're here.
