It all began with a dream.

Meet the Smith’s, the family behind The Ivory Loft!

Our family is so excited to be on this journey with you. We're Wesley and Julia Smith, and we've been married for 16 years. We’ve been a part of the Live Oak community for our whole lives, and we are blessed to be raising our two beautiful children here. For years, we poured our time into our family business, Read's Forklift, and now we are stepping into a new venture! We’re so excited to bring a top-notch bridal and formalwear experience to our hometown.

The Ivory Loft was created to offer a luxurious bridal + formalwear experience close to home. Our goal is to help every client feel confident and beautiful during life’s biggest moments, whether that be your wedding day, prom night, Quinceañera, or any other special event on your calendar. We’re proudly size-inclusive and offer an extensive size range to find your perfect fit!

In addition to our bridal + formalwear side, we also offer a wide array of boutique items, including specialty gifts, apparel and so much more.

Thank you for joining us and for being a part of our family’s story. We can’t wait to serve you!
