Hey, y'all! I'm Emma Hayes. I was born and raised in the small town of Eatonton, Georgia. In high school, I was always asked what I was going to do when I grew up and I could never give a definite answer so I went with the safe route and would answer, "Business Management". But, I remember as a little girl I would binge watch Say Yes To The Dress whenever it came on TLC. I was fascinated at how a dress, no matter how simple or extravagant, could totally change the way a woman sees herself. This is when I realized that my passion is fashion - especially the bridal industry.

​

I moved to Athens, Georgia, in 2017 and started studying business management at The University of North Georgia. I soon transferred to the University of Georgia where I began studying Fashion Merchandising with an emphasis on Brand Management. This is where I realized just how passionate I was about fashion and have loved every minute of it. The different projects, the people I've met & worked with, and the informative courses I've taken have provided me with so much knowledge of the ins-and-outs in the fashion industry.
