After eight years as a small animal veterinarian – the most recent within an emergency animal hospital setting – Tebault needed a change. Though her prior work was rewarding, the high-stress and many times heart-breaking aspects of her job began taking its toll. After saying “I do”, a new opportunity presented itself. She began conducting market research and meeting bridal shop owners throughout the U.S., and developed a keen eye for exactly what she wanted to offer St. Augustine brides.

 “Whether you are buying a $1,000 dress or a $10,000 dress, I want walking into the boutique to be a first-class experience. It’s important to create that special experience. It’s not just shopping for a dress – it’s a moment in your life that you want to do over and over.” 

Classic, timeless elegance with a modern twist welcomes patrons in hues of pink and gold. Chandeliers sparkle alongside a bubbly toast poured once a bride has found “the one.” But the real diamond is the personal experience I give to every bride before they even walk into the door. I envision every visit to be as special as each individual bride, starting with communication over the phone before the appointment to get to know each and every bride on a personal level.

Accessibility for brides of all budgets is a key factor of Tebault Bridal, as well as high-quality service and products offered. A variety of brands will be available, including Justin Alexander, Sincerity, Adore, Madi Lane, Modeca and more. Veils, jewelry, hair pieces, belts and sashes will also be available. Located down 1590 Arapaho Ave off US1, Tebault Bridal additionally offers unparalleled views of the coastal St. Augustine marsh that can be viewed through large windows within the bridal suites.

In her free time, Kristen enjoys spending time with her family and beloved pups Mousse, Macaroon, Marlin, Minnow, & Mullet. When she’s not helping SA’s next bride say YES to the perfect dress, she also enjoys traveling, exercising, spending time outdoors, tending to her chickens, and socializing with friends. Fun fact: you can also catch her on the mic as an instructor at Pure Barre St. Augustine helping you get a good sweat on!
