ABOUT US

Our

Story

Elegant. Sophisticated. Fashionable. Welcoming.

Effie’s Bridal, established in 2014 by Burnsville native Paula Coulter, is the culmination of a lifelong dream. Paula shared, 'Owning a bridal store had always been a dream I wanted to pursue. As is often the case, I found myself in a career that brought happiness but left my soul wanting more.' However, life took an unexpected turn when Paula was among the many severely injured in the tragic 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis. This life-altering experience reshaped her perspective, guiding her towards a new path that led to Effie’s. 

In 2022, Reanna Piper took over ownership of Effie’s Bridal. Beginning as a consultant in 2016 under Paula's guidance, Reanna developed a profound passion for the bridal industry. When Paula retired to spend more time with her family, an opportunity arose for new ownership at Effie’s and Reanna was the perfect match. Reanna and the entire Effie’s staff are deeply committed to celebrating the diverse spectrum of all brides, ensuring that each feels genuinely welcomed and celebrated regardless of background or identity. Reanna aims to ensure that her oversight of the store reflects this principle, creating an environment where every bride feels honored and cherished.
