hi rare brides! i'm tajma and i'm one of your weekend bridal stylists at rare. i've always been super passionate about fashion. what we wear is often an expression of self, so on your wedding day, looking and feeling your best is a must! wedding dress shopping can be overwhelming, but i am here to make the process fun and smooth! while I'm new to the world of bridal, i grew up in pageantry where gown shopping for my next competition was a regular thing for me and my mom. i know how important it is to find a gown that provides both comfort and makes you feel special. i love being part of a team that is all about empowerment, body positivity, inclusivity, and all the things you need to feel comfortable while making such an important decision. my favorite thing about my job is seeing the smiles and tears on the faces of my brides when they see themselves in a gown and know it's "the one".

i'm originally from chicago, but i've been a wisconsinite for more than 6 years now. when i'm not working or at home drinking coffee and watching true crime documentaries, i love exploring milwaukee and enjoying all the amazing restaurants we have. during basketball season you might even see me at a bucks game or two.

my favorite dress in the shop right now is breanna by essense of australia.
