Couture Bridal Moving To Main Street

The store is taking over the space formerly occupied by Charmed.

Another bridal shop is coming to Main Street, joining a host of others in town. 

Annmarie Therriault is moving her bridal business, Couture Bridal, from Coventry to East Greenwich, and plans to open at 175 Main St. — the space formerly occupied by Charmed, which sold Italian charms and bracelets — on July 5.

In addition to her retail store, Therriault does business internationally through three web sites, offering bridal gowns, wedding planning and travel options. Therriault was inspired to get in the wedding business after having trouble finding unique and quality items for her own wedding, according to her web site. She began coordinating weddings through the web site about 11 years ago, and opened a retail location as a one-stop shop six years ago.

Therriault got the idea to move to Main Street recently, when, while in East Greenwich having dinner with friends, she saw the “for lease” sign in the window of Charmed. It was somewhat of a deja vu moment, she said. Therriault bought her wedding dress in town at the nearby and had it altered by . Now she finds herself on Main Street in close proximity to both stores.

Therriault said she is excited about the move from her current second-story location. With the added visibility and potential for walk-in traffic on Main Street, she anticipates hiring additional staff.
