Devon and I are high school sweethearts we have been together for 7 years. He actually used my sister to get to know me! 😂 He asked me if he could take my sister turkey hunting and if I would go with, well the rest is history. 🫶

At Marah's, it’s not about having the most dresses, the most designers, or the biggest store – it’s about YOU, our bride. We genuinely can't wait to meet you, hear your love story, and share in the joy and celebration of finding your wedding gown! ​​​​​​​​​ this gown "Collins" has the most beautiful and dainty intricate detail throughout. plus who doesn't love the option of a off the shoulder long sleeve to add a little drama!​​​​​​​​​

Our Bride, Emily! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"I will be forever grateful to your team for helping me find a new wedding dress 5 weeks before my wedding. I'm so happy with my choice, I felt amazing on my wedding day!

The wedding was at the Tinsmith, but I got ready at Hotel Indigo - that's where the paint cans are from. My photographer was Holly Schisler, I found her through Ward 3 Media. And my florist was Sarah Lopez from Melody Rose Designs. It was a great day, everything went according to plan! But I would say the ceremony was the best part."

A special memory from our wedding day was having our first look on my parents’ dock. We read our vows and got to take in a moment together, just the two of us, before the rest of the day started 🤍

We have been in this glorious Main Street location for nearly all the years we have been in the bridal biz. Stay tuned for some exciting annoucements & events we are planning for our 19th Anniversay coming up in J U N E.

Marah’s is the boutique for the bride that dreams of wearing a classic, modern wedding gown. We have the finest collection in the Madison area and we can say with confidence that if you are looking for a clean crepe, satin or chiffon wedding gown, Marah’s is the only place you need to shop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Link to book in profile. 🥂

"They have such a wonderful and inviting energy! As a plus size bride, I felt seen and had so many options that fit me. Natasha was so sweet and helped me figure out what kind/style of dress I loved the most. They truly make it feel like you are the most important thing! Plus it's an adorable store!"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Congratulations Kallie ♡ ⁣

Hi, I’m Marah!​​​​​​​​​I have owned my shop for almost 19 years. I purchased the shop where I found my wedding dress when I was shopping! Not only did I find my dress, but I found my passion & career. ​​​​​​​​​
I’ve been married to my hubby, Eric for almost 19 years! We met at The State Bar & Grill in Madison during Freakfest (aka Halloween on State St.). I was dressed as “Like a Virgin” Madonna and he was Zoolander. We dated for 4 years and tied the knot October 15 2005.

Mom to Cal, Isla & Faye (and Dolly our 4-legged daughter). I love being a boy and a girl mom. Cal keeps it simple & the girls add the drama! They all bring their own personality & energy and I just love watching them grow into their own person.

I am part-owner of The Midwest Girl® with my sister, Ris. We started our brand as a homage to our Midwest roots nearly 8 years ago. Fun fact, The Midwest Girl® actually started in the bridal shop and now our flagship store is located in Dubuque IA.

I am most productive sitting at the local coffee shop. I love the background chatter, something about the energy helps me pump out good work.

Good denim & tees are my thing. If I go shopping you can pretty much bet I am bringing home a pair of jeans. If you need recommendations, let me know!

I am a sports freak and nothing brings me more joy than watching my kids compete doing something they love. Most weekends you will find me in a gym watching basketball or at the diamond coaching or cheering on my girls playing softball.

There are many things that I adore about owning a bridal shop but most of all it is the opportunity to make connections & friendships. I want our customers to feel seen, heard, loved & remembered. In my experience when you treat others as you would want to be treated everything falls in place.

Happy Friday!
♡ Marah

This girl is a stunner, she has the absolute best personality, a fun sense of humor and is just a cool chick! Maya works for us at The Midwest Girl (my sister & my t-shirt brand in Dubuque IA). A few months back we did a combo photoshoot while we had the talented Errin Hiltbrand in the house & Maya happily modeled a few of our new gowns. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​She's a natural and I think she needs to make a trip back to Mount Horeb to model more gowns.

Thanks Emma! Yep, Classic and Clean is our THING! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

There are few things that can make a mother prouder than watching her daughter grow into such a strong and beautiful young woman.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Happy International Women's Day.

This was such a memorable day with the Kaiser girls. They each found their gown at Marah's and on the day that baby sis said "YES" to her dress they went along with my crazy idea to snap this "friends inspired" picture in their wedding gowns. I love that you can see their mom, Sharon, in the mirror. These girls are so lucky to have each other, but even more so to have their incredible, loving & supportive mom. ​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​​

Emily, Briana & Mikayla all wore gowns by Mikaella Bridal and baby sis, Kaitlyn selected a gown by Essense of Australia. So many memories were made in our shop with these girls and I am so thankful for each of them.

There is just something so special about having a bridal boutique on Main Street in a small community. One of the many things that is so charming about our shop is our large storefront window that let’s in all the natural light. Our shop is so bright, happy & fresh and it is such a plus to be able to see yourself in wedding gowns in natural light.
