Emily Stark
She/Her
Rare Shop Manager
Hey everyone! My name is Emily and I am the Manager at Strike’s sister shop, Rare Bridal Bar. Since I was 7 years old I knew that I wanted to be in the bridal industry! So naturally, I got my degree in Fashion Design and have been working in bridal for over 8 years now! I've done everything from alterations, custom designs, to styling! I love every part of the industry, but there is something about helping a bride find a dress that makes them feel like a million bucks that never gets old!
I love being able to share in the memories, laughs, and happy tears when a bride has their moment! My goal is always to make a bride's shopping experience stress free, relaxed, and most importantly FUN!
Currently my favorite designer is Alena Leena. Her dress Armeria, in black of course, is to die for!

What our brides have to say about Emily…
”My experience at Strike Bridal Bar is one I will never forget. It was nothing less than magical. Not only did I find my perfect dress, but I truly felt like a princess. My bridal stylist, Emily, helped me and my guests feel comfortable, gave me great advice, and picked out perfect dresses based on my feedback throughout trying different styles on. Emily knew exactly what to say when I needed to hear it, but also stepped away to allow my guests and I to have an intimate experience together. She had the perfect balance of expert knowledge with respect for our thoughts and opinions. The space was absolute beautiful - very intimate. The selection of gowns was everything I hoped for and more. The process was incredibly easy, and I love Strike's added touched. We celebrated with a signature drink, popped confetti, and Emily even put my instagram handle under my account so they could tag me later. I would 12/10 recommend Strike Bridal Bar. I am still day dreaming about my truly magical experience!” - Jessica L.
”Do yourself a favor and experience Strike Bridal Bar while you are searching for a wedding dress. My appointment was nothing but stress free, enjoyable, and FUN! The store itself is clean, well organized, and welcoming. All staff members that we interacted with were so wonderful and friendly, including the owner Abby. My appointment was with Emily and she was AMAZING! If you have the chance to work with her, do it! My appointment was my first time ever trying on dresses so I was a little nervous but Emily made it a positive experience. Emily listened to my feedback about dresses I had pulled for myself and used her expertise to pull dresses accordingly. I ended up saying "yes!" to a dress she had pulled for me. Both Abby and Emily went above and beyond helping me customize little details of the dress and did so cost effectively! The added touch of popping confetti when you purchase your dress is the icing on the cake! I have nothing but positive things to say about Strike Bridal Bar and will always have wonderful memories to look back on when shopping for my wedding dress. Thank you Emily and thank you Strike Bridal Bar!” - Kate A.
“I fell in love with everything about Strike Bridal Bar as soon as I walked through the door! My stylist Emily greeted me when I walked in and had already seated my party with refreshments. She was so welcoming and attentive as I rambled off all my ideas or anything I was open to trying on. After trying on a few dresses she was able to find a dress I fell in love with, but then went over the top with suggesting customization (including color, closing a slit on the dress, and a detachable skirt) that made it PERFECT. Even after that, I was shocked to find it still within my very tight budget and timeline!! The grand reveal behind the curtain and the signature drinks are just some of the great little touches that make this shop so special! Will be recommending to everyone I know!” - Megan K.
