Hi! I’m Linda Ives, owner of Yves Jolie Bridal. While I have traveled quite a winding path to “all things bridal,” the seeds were likely planted when an Army buddy of mine asked me to coordinate his wedding when I was all of 23 and stationed in Hawaii. His bride-to-be was from another country with no family nearby, so I stepped in to help. As Amara’s wedding coordinator, maid of honor, and investigative bridal dress shopper, I was thrilled when we discovered a gown that she fell in love with for under $100. The joy she radiated in her beautiful dress on her wedding day filled me with such a sense of pride and pleasure—a feeling that remains with me to this day. So now—years later—I delight in my mission to ensure that every bride who walks through our doors has the most personalized and joyful experience capturing the perfect wedding dress.
​
Yves Jolie Bridal celebrates the beauty of global craftmanship and diverse cultures. Our dresses are created by talented designers who not only honor their roots but have a distinctive story to tell. Together, they form a stunning mosaic of creativity and artistry, offering our brides a unique selection from around the world.
​
We hope you’ll make your way to our sweet little shop in charming and historic Centreville, Delaware, an 18thcentury village surrounded by scenic countryside. We look forward to welcoming and sharing with you ourexquisite bridal creations in a completely private, relaxed, and supportive environment.
