Heather Stenlake is the inventor of Bridal Buddy, a lightweight sheer slip that goes under your gown. The accessory enables the bride to visit the bathroom while wearing the wedding dress. Bridal Buddy assists you in bagging up the dress so that you can use the bathroom without assistance. One doesn’t need all the bridesmaids to accompany her in the stall. The bride can bag up her dress to securely relieve herself without messing up when nature calls.

Heather Stenlake has worked in the bridals industry since 1998. She has done all kinds of jobs, from bagging the dresses after brides tried them and returning them to the rack, to being a consultant then owning her own bridal shop. Heather took $40,000 from her retirement savings towards creating and producing a sheer slip “Bridals Buddy” that holds up the bride’s wedding gown. The gown allows a bride to pee in private without any help. 

Since I have been in the bridal business for years, I noticed there was a need for an invention like Bridal Buddy. Brides spend a lot of money on their dresses, and they should protect them in the bathroom stall. I came up with the idea back in the year 2002 after consulting for a bridal shop. “How do I go to the bathroom while wearing my dress?” was one of the most frequent questions asked by brides buying a wedding dress. So I designed the solution, but I kept the product on hold while I raised my family. Finally, in 2015 I dusted off my idea and started implementing teh idea.

A bridal buddy comes in two sizes, one for women over five feet five inches and one for women under that height. I tried doing a Kickstarter to launch bridal Buddy, but it failed. Since then, I have managed to get the product on Amazon.

I went to the Shark Tank to seek out $75,000 for 10% equity for my business. Alongside me, there was a model with whom we presented my product. I have $195,000 in lifetime sales. I make each unit for $14 and sell them for $29.95. Also, I approached David’s Bridal, but they were not interested in a partnership. So I only picked Loris and Kevin’s offer. They gave out the unhidden amounts of money in exchange for 30% of shares.

The deal I made with Lori and Kevin ended up not closing. Bridal Buddy made a mermaid dress called Buddy to add to its line. The product is in 3 dozen, independent bridal shops and Beyond stores. For most women, Bridal Buddy is their top choice, with its popular feature of the lightweight. This feature makes it easy to carry.

To a young Heather Stenlake, you should not waste any single moment on people who contribute nothing to your life. When you want to start your own business, you should plan, but do not over plan. If you lack an actual mentor, you should find a book with someone you admire who has been through it and knows the ropes.

Bridal Buddy is meant for brides on their wedding day. The wedding gown is a very important part of your wedding apparel. The bridal Buddy offers a suitable solution for all brides to benefit from. If you want your wedding to be successful, it is good if you prevent yourself from the stress of entering a restroom with your dress hanging.

Currently, I am planning to add to the bridal Buddy line to accommodate different kinds of gowns. Also, I have made another bathroom-related product that will make everyone’s life a bit easier.
