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.

Erin - Store Manager

She is constantly on the move and loves to hike, workout and travel.  Erin eagerly joined the Coreena’s Bridal team for the store’s opening in the Fall of 2020, excited to work with brides and bring their bridal vision to life. She carries a joy that is contagious to all staff as well as our brides. Her many 5 star Google reviews are a true testament to the elevated experience she provides.

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. During that time, she also began modeling and coupled with her first job as a dress stylist at a prom and pageant store, she found her love for styling and fashion. Her passion grew after being in the industry and watching how much confidence and joy a dress can bring someone!

London has always been infatuated with the bridal industry and her love only grew deeper after her own wedding in 2021. She joined the Coreena’s Bridal team in January of 2022 and quickly became part of the family. In August of 2022, London became the first employee to run the social media accounts for the Georgetown location. Her positive outlook and willingness to learn make her a cherished member of the Coreena’s Bridal family. London’s favorite part about being a stylist is helping brides find joy and confidence within themselves when they find “the one”.

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!

At the age of 11, she decided to begin studying acting and singing and has performed in numerous productions ever since (including Cinderella and the Addams Family!)

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!
