The Staff

Coreena Ferrata – Owner

Coreena was born in Naples, Italy, as her parents were serving overseas in the US Air Force. Soon after, her family relocated to Mckinney, Texas where she attended Prosper High School. Coreena moved to College Station in 2010 to attend Texas A&M where she met and fell in love with her husband Nick towards the end of her third year.

Just prior to graduating in 2014, Nick proposed to Coreena at the Aggie Ring Plaza the day after she earned her Aggie ring. They enjoyed a beautiful destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas in June of 2015. Coreena’s hunt for a one-of-a-kind beach wedding gown inspired her to completely redesign the dress she purchased. Since then, she has designed gowns for close family and friends who also desired a couture look.

In 2017, Coreena decided to put designing on hold to pursue a new dream—opening a full service bridal boutique. Coreena’s personal experience of shopping for her own wedding dress sparked her passion for helping brides, with the ultimate goal of providing a unique selection of designer gowns that offer a couture look for an affordable price. More importantly, offering that possibility in College Station. Part of her vision of an all-in-one shopping experience included the necessity of on-site alterations. Local brides enjoy brands commonly found in larger cities, without the travel for multiple alterations appointments.

After one year in business, Coreena’s Bridal expanded their building to accommodate more brides. Two years after launching her flagship boutique, Coreena is excited to reach more brides across Texas with the second location of Coreena’s Bridal in Georgetown.

From the initial meeting to the final send-off, she strives to support, celebrate, and create something truly memorable here at Coreena’s Bridal. It’s her passion to turn dreams into reality—and even more rewarding to do it with people who feel like friends by the end.

Inspired by creating unforgettable moments, Mackenzie became a part of Coreena’s Bridal family in the summer of 2023.  Mackenzie’s favorite part of her job is connecting with the bride-to-be, on a personal level, helping them find a look that reflects both their personality and individuality.  Drawn to the opportunity to make a lasting and positive impact, Mackenzie cherishes the role of guiding clients through one of the most memorable moments of their bridal journey.
