Meet Nadia Williamson | Founder of NWD BRIDAL

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nadia Williamson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nadia, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The true essence of our brand’s success lies in the time and intention we dedicate to every bride who walks through our doors. It’s never about volume; it’s about creating an experience rooted in connection and care. We take the time to understand each detail—where she’s getting married, how many guests will be there, the color story, the ambiance, the setting—indoors or out, grand or intimate. It’s about discovering the spirit of the celebration. These conversations happen face-to-face, never over text or email, because it’s through genuine dialogue that we begin to understand her vision. From there, we guide her with thoughtful, expert insight, helping her discover a gown that not only reflects the event—but who she is within it.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey began in fashion and film. With a diploma in Fashion Design, I learned to draft, tailor, and construct full collections—skills that laid the foundation for everything I do today. I went on to work in the film industry, starting as a buyer and eventually becoming a costume designer for a feature films, where I fell in love with storytelling through style.

Now in bridal, I have the honor of working with the most iconic designers in the world—Lihi Hod, Zuhair Murad, Elie Saab, and Dana Harel. My background allows me to understand and appreciate the artistry behind their work, and to guide each bride in finding a gown that is not only beautiful, but deeply personal and unforgettable.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Some of my favorite spots in Dallas truly capture the city’s charm and elegance. Personally, I love the Katy Trail—there’s something so peaceful about the trees, the breeze, and the energy of everyone walking or running along the path. It’s my little escape into nature.

If I were showing someone around, I’d definitely take them to Snider Plaza. The streets there feel so romantic, and we’d have lunch at Jack & Harry’s—one of my favorite restaurants, with such a beautiful, relaxed mood. The local shops give the area a timeless charm, and you can really feel the heart of the community—warm, welcoming, and full of character. I also love strolling through the neighborhood and walking past Williams Park—it’s elegant, peaceful, and feels like a hidden gem in the city.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to our incredible community. Without the brides, their families, and the generations of love that have filled this boutique, none of this would be possible. A romantic, soulful shop like ours only comes to life because of the people who walk through its doors, share their stories, and trust us with one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. Your support has been everything.

I also want to give a special shoutout to my husband, whose unwavering belief in me has been the heartbeat behind it all. He’s always encouraged me to dream boldly and push beyond limits—even when I doubted myself. His support has been my anchor and my inspiration from the very beginning.

And I’m thrilled to share that we’ve welcomed Samatha Levis & Mallory Cooper to our boutique—a collaboration that brings even more vision, expertise, and magic to the experience we offer our brides. I truly believe the best is yet to come.
