OUR STORY

About La Raine

Born in New York and raised 8,800 miles away in New Zealand, Laraine moved to Atlanta in the late 70s with her husband, Bill, and their three children. She started working in the fashion industry soon after and her love of bringing happiness to her clients runs deep. Her creativity and catering to her customer’s needs is what has driven her success. LaRaine opened shop in the Virginia-Highlands area in 1996 where she sold designer clothing and a small collection of wedding gowns.

​

The Evolution of La Raine’s Bridal Boutique

La Raine’s Boutique became known for their wedding gowns and exceptional one-on-one service. Eventually, the need for a new location grew. Staying apart of the Virginia Highlands neighborhood was important to LaRaine, and there were no questions asked when the La Raine’s decided to relocate to 853 North Highland Avenue.

 

The Historic House at 853 North Highland Avenue

The historic house is over 100 years old, and it is full of history! The original owners, Mr. and Mrs. James Alexander Cook, held their daughter’s wedding in the house. It was only fitting that this house would end up being a wedding boutique. The house was also a hot tub store (fun!), and it was Harvest restaurant for many years.

La Raine's on the Westside

In October 2019, La Raine decided it was time to refresh and start a new adventure. By November, La Raine's relocated to the Westside of Atlanta off Marietta Street. Here we are building our forever home with a new style but the same amazing dresses!
