Fighting for Your Name, Your Art & Your Twice Upon A Time with Hayley Paige This week on Bridal Club™, I’m joined by one of the most resilient, inspiring, and fiercely creative women in the bridal industry: Hayley Paige.

After years of litigation, she won back her intellectual property, regained her accounts, and relaunched Hayley Paige Bridal in what she calls her “twice upon a time era.” In this episode, you’ll hear: The full story behind losing and ultimately reclaiming her name, identity, and creative freedom How Hayley Paige rebuilt her life and stayed resilient during a four-year non-compete The landmark case law her battle helped establish around social media ownership (a major win for all creators) Her design philosophy and why she believes “the riches are in the niches” The heart and mission behind her Girl You Might Know Foundation, created to protect young creatives from harmful contracts Whether you’re a bride who has always admired her feminine, whimsical, and instantly recognizable gowns—or a creative who needs a reminder to protect what you build—this conversation will move you, empower you, and remind you that second chances are worth fighting for. 🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and share this episode with anyone who believes in owning your story, guarding your art, and rising stronger than ever.
