Hi! My name is Sophie, owner of Magnolia Laine Charlotte. My bridal journey began in college - I was a sophomore studying fashion design and merchandising in search of a summer internship. By chance, my cousin had recently shopped for her wedding dress at The White Magnolia Atlanta and just raved about her one-on-one dress shopping experience. I immediately reached out expressing my interest and was hired as the first fashion intern. From day one, I instantly fell in love with all things bridal. After an amazing summer of learning how to style brides, working with different designers, and all the other unique aspects of the bridal industry, I knew I was going to turn my internship into a career. After I graduated college, I grew my career with The White Magnolia from a full-time stylist to manager at Magnolia Laine Atlanta. I can honestly say I have my dream job, and I'm so excited to begin this new journey as owner of my own bridal store. I couldn’t be more thankful to all of the women who have mentored me and made my dreams a reality!
