The Story of Hello Beautiful Bridal & Formal Wear

Born and raised in Kearney, Nebraska, owner Megan Goeke and her sister, Jenna Lukasiewicz, have pursued a lifelong goal of opening a bridal and formal wear shop in their hometown. They share a love of specialty retail and all things bridal. At Hello Beautiful Bridal, their goal is to help brides find a unique, comfortable gown that perfectly reflects them! Through diligent sourcing (shopping!) for incredible designers that weren't previously available in Central Nebraska and a talent for customizing everything, Hello Beautiful Bridal offers brides an opportunity to shop local – skip the big city pricing and get a gorgeous gown in a great budget.


Hello Beautiful Bridal contacted Murray Marketing Services in the fall of 2021, looking to expand their online advertising into Google Advertising and to seek assistance with social media management & strategy. On the Google Ads front, we put together a detailed, targeted approach for the service lines of: Overall Wedding, Plus Size Wedding Dresses, Mothers Of Gowns, and a seasonal Prom campaign. Through Google Search campaigns, we have been able to increase online appointment bookings, store phone calls, and make the Hello Beautiful bridal brand more prominent online. On the social media front, our goal is to increase brand awareness, account following and drive online appointment bookings.
