Why Her Story?

Her Story: Bridal Open House is curated with community and collaboration in mind and is proudly presented by Highland Barn, Mint and Match Design LLC, and Your Epic Moments. 

Her Story was created with the message that no matter where you are in life and no matter how difficult the journey of life may be for you– you have the power to choose your own ending, to start a new chapter, or rewrite it completely because it’s YOUR story. If one of your goals is to find inspiration for a wedding, celebrate a milestone, or other special event- this is the perfect event for you! 

We are excited to be partnering with some talented vendors local to the Fredericksburg and surrounding areas. The support and sense of community shown by our wonderful vendors and guests that attend will be extra special. We can’t wait for you to join us for a fun girl's day, support small businesses, and give back to an even better cause!
