Mandy Founder/Co-Owner   Hello, Gorgeous! I’m Mandy Wienhusen, Founder and Co-Owner of Linen Jolie Bridal.   I’m a small town, local girl, born and raised in St. Charles Parish. I’m a graduate of Destrehan High School, a former New Orleans Saintsation and a proud alumn of Loyola University New Orleans.   After spending time in a marketing and sales career, I left the corporate world to pursue a dream that was born in my grandmother’s living room while watching a bridal episode on Oprah. I opened my own bridal boutique in 2010 and my infatuation with wedding dresses was born. Since then, everyday has been filled with champagne and bridal dreams.

In 2016, I had the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the owner of THE Town & Country Bridal, a magical piece of the fabric and tradition of New Orleans brides.

By 2018, Town & Country Bridal was overflowing with brides and opportunity to work with the most renowned designers in the industry. We needed more space to cater to brides and to bring the most coveted collections to Louisiana. We needed another luxe bridal destination— with a boutique, elevated feel and a completely unique designer line-up.

In 2018, we proudly opened the doors of Linen Jolie Bridal—lovingly named after my daughter, Linen Jolie, also born in 2018.

After working side by side with Caroline Boudreau for nearly a decade, it was evident that she was intended to be more than my teammate and friend. It was clear that she should be the inhouse heartbeat of Linen Jolie Bridal. I am now proud to call her my business partner as CoOwner of LJ.

I have a confession to make...other than my family and friends, there is nothing I love more than BRIDAL! For me, bridal means so much more than the dress. It's magic, a captivating love story, a mother softly wiping away a tear as her baby girl suddenly becomes a woman. It's the sound of a champagne cork popping & a young woman's tribe gathered to celebrate her unforgettable moment. It's leading with love, doing business with integrity and building lasting relationships with our beloved clients. I, along with my entire team of knowledgable stylists, would be honored to dress you.

When not surrounded by BEAUTIFUL white things, you can find me traveling with my husband, Freddie, in the dance studio with my daughter, Linen Jolie or in the bleachers of a basketball game with my son, Cruz. A few of my favorite things: Diet Coke, big hair, any beach with blue water, the sound of my childrens’ laughter and gold bracelets up to my elbows!
