Love & Lily BRIDAL Opens Its Doors in Downtown Brunswick

New boutique brings unique off‑the‑rack bridal designs, alterations, and
special‑occasion services to Potomac Street

BRUNSWICK, Md., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Brunswick Main Street is delighted to welcome Love & Lily BRIDAL to downtown Brunswick. Now open at 13A W Potomac Street, the boutique introduces a fresh, creative energy to the community with its off‑the‑rack bridal gowns, semi‑custom design options, and full suite of alterations and gown‑care services.

Love & Lily BRIDAL offers something rare in today's bridal market: exclusive designs created in collaboration with ateliers and artists from around the world. Brides can purchase gowns off the rack or order them in specific styles and sizes, making the experience flexible, personal, and accessible. Select gift items are also available in-store.

The boutique is the culmination of a lifelong passion for owner and designer Cathy Cleveland. "I began sewing at a young age and was eager to hone my skills," she shares. "I was able to attend Parsons School of Design in New York City. I started designing from scratch under my own name and later began exploring ready‑to‑wear clothing concepts. That's how Love & Lily BRIDAL was born."

Originally developed in New York City, the concept gained momentum after the pandemic, when off‑the‑rack gowns became increasingly sought after. Today, Love & Lily BRIDAL offers high‑quality, attainable designs produced in small factory settings, allowing Cathy to blend craftsmanship, creativity, and fair pricing.

Cathy's decision to open in Brunswick was inspired by fond memories and a long‑standing connection to the town. "I've been visiting Brunswick for years with my mom and the friend who has sewn with me for more than a decade," she says. "We love the vibe and simplicity of the town."

Originally from the Philippines, Cathy brings a multicultural background and deep appreciation for community, creativity, and service. She holds degrees in Business and Fashion Design, has worked with renowned stylists and fashion houses, and is multilingual. Outside the studio, she enjoys cooking, singing, playing piano, traveling, and volunteering with seniors, children, and local communities.

Her favorite part of the work?
"I love designing," she says. "I get to turn my passion into something attainable and meaningful for others."

Love & Lily BRIDAL operates by appointment with the following hours:

• Monday & Wednesday: 12–5
