Versailles (“Ver-sye”): is a city in north central France neear Paris; the Palace of Versailles was built by Louis XIV in the 17th century. It is more famously known as the home of Queen Marie Antionette.
Atelier (“Uh-teh-lee-ei”): is a workshop or studio, especially of an aritist, artisan or designer.
It all started with a white dress. Natasha can vividly remember when her obsession with bridal first began at the age of three.
Her dream was to open a business where she could make people feel beautiful on one of the most important days of their lives. In 2010 Natasha started working as a bridal consultant but was committed to a full time corporate position.
She fell head over heels for the bridal business way of life. Natasha loved having the opportunity to make brides feel important and beautiful while choosing the wedding dress of their dreams.
While her dream was still in the back of her mind she met her second love, Sean. Sean and Natasha have joked they never liked anything easy in life and so their story began.
Natasha soon found out she had developed chronic migraines from her corporate job so Sean asked her why she hadn’t opened her business yet. Natasha told him she couldn’t open a business on a minimum wage job with bills to pay.
In a smoke screen, Sean was able to clear the air completely; he told Natasha money shouldn’t be an issue and that she needs to follow her passions. In 2012, Natasha quit the corporate job and went back to Salt Lake City Community College to pursue a fashion degree for bridal.
Full of support, empathy, and everlasting love the two decided to marry in June of 2013 just after a year of dating. Natasha knew he would be the one to support her in life and the trials of opening her business.
College graduation, a deployment, three kids, and a business plan later Natasha and Sean finally felt confident enough to bring their plan to a bank. In 2018, the two brought their business plan for Versailles Atelier to a bank where they were met with nothing but excitement.
By fall of 2019 the couple was doing everything they were told to in order to bring the business to life and start thinking about opening. However by August 2020, the banks had all shut down their loans to start PPP relief for the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a panic, the couple ended up having to take out personal loans to buy inventory while they figured out where to get a business loan. Natasha and Sean then found one local Utah bank who was willing to write out a loan; the bank has been their supporter from the beginning.
Not only was the bank supportive but their landlord, friends, and family all knew Natasha was meant to open a bridal shop. After opening doors in October of 2020, Natasha has helped hundreds of brides find their inner beauty and a dream gown in the process.
The takeaway? If Natasha and Sean could open a thriving business in a global pandemic, you can do anything.

I had an amazing experience at Versailles Atelier! Maddie was my consultant and she and Natasha were both so sweet and fun! They were so enthusiastic about my vision and helpful in pulling gowns that fit what I wanted. I ended up finding the perfect dress right off the bat. They were also super helpful and accommodating when it came to alterations I needed and helping find ways to make those changes without destroying the style and personality of the dress. 10/10 would recommend

Love this shop! They made my dream wedding dress become a reality. The dress shopping experience there made me feel so special. My custom dress arrived weeks before the expected arrival date. When lace I ordered online from a different shop got lost in the mail, Versailles went the extra mile and gave me two of their appliques that I needed up using on my dress. My custom dress was only $1344 and the BEST quality. Would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I had the best experience ever at this place! They treat you so kindly and make you feel so special and HYPED UP! They listened to all my preferences, and price range, and overall created such a welcoming and wholesome environment. I had two other appointments set up for other places, but ended up canceling, because I found my dream dress almost instantly! If I could give more than five stars I would, and I definitely recommend them to anyone searching for their perfect dress!
