When Zepha Gerber opened Sean Philip Bridals in Princeton in March 2020, she combined all her passions into her new store – her love of fashion, family, and helping others.

“You can say this was my childhood dream. I have always loved dressing up Barbies in the latest fashions, sometimes making my own,” she said.

She knows firsthand how intense the search for the right wedding dress can be.

“Wedding dress shopping is overwhelming. I remember the numerous stores I went to before I settled on a gown, ironically, the first gown I tried on. I wanted to share my love and appreciation of wedding gowns with the community.”

The inspiration for the name Sean Philip Bridals came from a special influence in her life – her husband.

“The store was named after my husband, who is the pillar of our family. He is an incredible man with a big heart. He is humble and patient, which also reflects the atmosphere of our store,” she said.
