March 30, 2025 was a day that transformed BOLI Preferred Vendor Bridal Reflections, ultimately for the better – an electrical fire that started in the basement of their Massapequa salon led to a year of growth, change, and expansion for the legendary brand.
“While the fire was an unexpected and difficult moment, it ultimately became a turning point that allowed Bridal Reflections to thoughtfully evolve,” said Brenna Cicciari, Bridal Reflections’ Marketing Manager. “Rather than simply reopening the space as it was, we took the opportunity to step back and evaluate how our Long Island locations could best serve our brides and their families moving forward.”
After the team discussed their options and brainstormed ideas, the decision was made to create a robust and immersive bridal experience at their Carle Place salon. The Massapequa space would be devoted to a new vision: a dedicated destination for Mother of the Bride and Groom gowns, evening wear, and special occasion attire.

“A place where mothers and special occasion clients feel just as celebrated as the bride.”
The reimagined Massapequa location will provide the signature Bridal Reflections experience for a wider audience. “The vision is to create a space that feels elevated and refined, while still warm and welcoming,” said Brenna. “A place where mothers and special occasion clients feel just as celebrated as the bride.”
“We’re considering how these clients shop differently and how they want to feel in the space,” she continued. “The goal is for the new salon to feel like a natural extension of Bridal Reflections, allowing us to grow into a new category with the same attention to detail and exceptional service people have come to expect. The showroom will feature a carefully selected assortment of gowns that reflect sophistication, style, and versatility. It’s designed to serve not just wedding-day needs, but all of life’s most meaningful celebrations.”

“Brides appreciate having everything under one roof.”
Brides of Long Island have come to appreciate the elegance, sophistication, and convenience of Bridal Reflections’ expanded Carle Place salon. “By consolidating our Long Island bridal inventory into one location, we’ve been able to offer brides a broader selection of designers, a more spacious environment, and a seamless appointment experience,” explained Brenna. “Brides appreciate having everything under one roof, with more room to explore and truly enjoy the process.

“The future of Bridal Reflections is about honoring transition while embracing thoughtful growth.”
With these much-anticipated updates on the horizon, the Bridal Reflections team is looking ahead with pride and enthusiasm. “The future of Bridal Reflections is about honoring tradition while embracing thoughtful growth,” Brenna described. “As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep evolving, introducing new designers, enhancing our spaces, and elevating the experience across every salon while remaining rooted in the values that have guided us for over 50 years.
“We’re continuing to grow in a way that feels intentional and true to who we are, allowing us to serve our community better than ever before.”
