The history of Tiffanys goes back to 1969 when Ruby Barnes opened the first Tiffanys Bridal in Richmond, Virginia. The very next year, in 1970, Marinel Wright opened a store in Norfolk, Virginia and was one of the very first tenants in Military Circle Mall.

In the mid-nineties Gary Wright, president of National Bridal Service, took over the family business. Gary is the son of Marinel Wright and the son-in-law of the late Ruby Barnes. Gary and his wife, Peggy, operated Tiffanys Bridal until 2005. In May of 2005 Gary sold the family business to Marty and Melissa Wade. The Wrights had known the Wades for several years. Marty and Melissa, also the owners of Clothing Care of Hampton and Newport News, have been, and continue to be, the exclusive gown preservationist for Tiffanys.

"The marriage of Tiffanys Bridal and Clothing Care made perfect sense" says Marty Wade. In September of 2005 Marty and his wife Melissa re-located Tiffanys Bridal a couple of miles down Jefferson Avenue to Port Warwick in a brand new store. Tiffanys then became known as Tiffanys On The Square.
