Meet Carrie Karibo, a Cincinnati native with a keen sense of style and a passion for all things fashion. Carrie got her start as a Fashion Director for Lane Bryant, and then went on to Ford Models in New York City. In her career, she’s dressed a number of iconic celebrities, including Ashley Graham, Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Anna Nicole Smith, and even the rockstars of the band Kiss.   While living in NYC, a city that exists in the heart of the fashion scene, Carrie realized that the formalwear industry seemed to not be evolving as quickly as the modern woman’s tastes were. With that, she decided to move back to her hometown and bring high-fashion to the wedding world by opening her own boutique, with beaming brides-to-be and their best-dressed-guests as Carrie’s muse.

Located in the heart of the Reading Bridal District, Carrie Karibo Bridal is an ever-evolving oasis for the modern bride. With 17 years of bridal industry experience, our invaluable knowledge in guiding our beautiful brides through the most remarkable journey of their lives has given us quite the edge. Giving each bride that unforgettable, full-service experience she’s dreaming of is the reason that our appointments, alterations and gown preservations are all completed in-house, under our careful eye. 

Celebrate in the opulence of one of our boutique’s private suites, designed to create an intimate space for just your party to enjoy, inviting your loved ones to remain at your side each step of the way.  Once you have found the one, we will splash into our bubble room’s refreshing champagne collection and toast to your future happiness. From your first fitting to your final stitch, we are overjoyed to play a role in your love story at Carrie Karibo Bridal.
