About

Founded in 1980 in Columbia, Missouri, Nolte's offered gowns, tuxedos, flowers and invitations at one location. This combination of talents led to a rapid success story that encompassed flowers for everything from Inaugural Balls and society weddings, to gowns for Miss Americas and Missouri's most beautiful brides.

As a member of National Bridal Service, Nolte's maintains it's rank for over 33 years in this professional organization of the best 400 stores. Michael Nolte was the organization's first man to receive Wedding Coordinator Certification.

Missouri's first wedding to be featured in a national magazine was designed by Michael Nolte. "Elegant Bride", May 1991, showcased the magnificent event.

In 1992, Nolte's opened the Hawthorne Plaza salon.

Nolte's can order any gown you've ever seen and always price matches a licensed competitor. In an era of discounting to achieve sales, Nolte's flourishes because of our philosophy, "It's better to explain price once than to apologize for poor service or quality forever."

In 2006, N.B.S., awarded Nolte's "Top Ten Couture Salons in the United States."

Michael Nolte is a wedding genius! We arrived with a group of 7 and were immediately greeted by Nolte himself and delicious mimosas. Nolte was our bridal consultant for the day, so we were in good hands to say the least. After getting to know my sister and her overall wedding vision, he immediately knew what type of dress she needed to feel like a princess on her special day. She ended up choosing the 3rd dress he put on her. Nolte's expertise made it a painless process as there were 6 other opinionated judges in the room. The private wedding room chamber made for an intimate and memorable experience where we oohed and aahed at the stunning wedding dress that Nolte brilliantly paired with the perfect veil. A couple weeks later we returned to Nolte's for the bridesmaid dresses appointment. We were assisted by Nolte's daughter who had apparent knowledge in the wedding world. We miraculously went with the first dress I tried on. I would recommend Nolte's Bridal to anyone. It seems as though the slimmer inventory of dresses is what makes the dress shopping experience easier. With only the best of the best dresses to choose from, there's no doubt that the bride and bridesmaids will walk away with "the one."

Highly Recommend!

My experience at Nulte's Bridal has been nothing short of fabulous! Michael Nulte is exceptional at what he does. He puts care and passion into every step of the process. For example, he took time to get to know me before selecting dresses. Not only did he find me the most beautiful dress, but it also fits my personality and vision perfectly. It's been a true joy working with him!

My experience of finding my bridal gown at Nolte’s was a great one! Michael was so helpful in all aspects, from finding the perfect dress for me to accessories and even designing the bridal bouquet. He was such a wondering contact to connect us with other wedding vendors. Ever recommendation of his was always spot on. Highly recommend!
