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 began designing 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.

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.

London - Assistant Manager / Social Media Manager

London was born and raised in the Austin area. Throughout high school she was a part of the swim and water polo team where she was able to express her competitive side and learn the value of hard work and perseverance.

Her passion grew after being in the industry and watching how much confidence and joy a dress can bring someone!

Mariel - Stylist

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Mariel has always enjoyed keeping it weird. Growing up, her favorite movies were Cinderella, The Addams Family, and Lord of the Rings- three very distinct worlds that directly shaped and influenced her love for theatre and costuming!

Mariel is known for thinking outside of the box with her brides by suggesting creative and unique styling techniques through the use of accessories and dress add-on pieces.

If there is anything Mariel has learned as an actor- it’s the power of a beautiful dress. Her goal as a bridal stylist is to help her brides feel as confident as Morticia Addams, as ethereal as Arwen, and as magical as Cinderella in their wedding dress.
Mariel looks forward to every appointment, and can’t wait to work a little magic with you at Coreena’s!
