Human Services Career Leads to Bridal Shop Ownership

Off the Charts: Examining the Health Equity Emergency

Lorraine Love spent 15 years in human services before combining the warmth and spirit she had for that work with her skillsets in beauty, design, budgeting and management to open Minnesota’s first Black-owned bridal store. LaNoire Bridal in St. Paul has a culturally diverse selection of wedding attire and services. Love, who grew up in the historic Rondo community as one of eight children, shares how her passion and knack for hair and makeup led her down the path of business owner. LaNoire Bridal is connected to the Central Corridor Anchor Partnership, of which HealthPartners and Regions Hospital are a part as St. Paul’s largest private employer.
