🙋‍♀️ Who Should We Feature?

Many of us have that special box. Carefully sealed, rarely opened, taking up space yet impossible to part with. Inside waits a wedding dress worn just once, on perhaps the most significant day of your life.

Sage Brunk understands the emotional weight of these preserved treasures. She also recognizes their untapped potential. It was during her own frustrating experience in a well-known boutique, feeling pressured to spend double her budget, when she realized there had to be a better way to connect women with meaningful wedding gowns they'll cherish without the stressful experience or overwhelming cost.

This revelation led to Forget Me Not Boutique in Colorado Springs, where Sage welcomes visitors into her home for intimate, pressure-free appointments. Her collection features nearly 100 pre-loved wedding gowns (with new inventory every week) in sizes 0-28, with affordable pricing. Unlike traditional bridal shops with their time limits and sales quotas, Sage offers a relaxed experience in her home where pressure-free guidance and honest feedback replace upselling tactics. There's no rushing through appointments or pushing higher-priced options, just genuine conversation about finding your dream gown within your budget.

The moment someone finds their perfect match is pure magic, whether it's a mature woman celebrating a new chapter or a younger bride who values quality and sustainability over "brand new."

For those ready to share your treasured wedding dress, Sage offers a generous 60% commission well above industry standard. One consignor's unexpected funds came precisely when needed, revealing how Sage isn't just recycling beautiful gowns, but creating connections between women's stories.

Beyond her boutique, Sage stays active in the community. She's co-hosting the "Happily Ever After Sale" on April 18th, a wedding garage sale where brides can sell décor. She's also a participating designer at the "Celebrate Her Fashion Show" at the Antlers Hotel on Feb 28th.

Ready to give your cherished gown new purpose or find one with history? Sage would love to chat about your bridal journey. Connect with her on her website ForgetMeNotBridal.com or on Facebook.
