Our Story
A Better Way To Buy And Sell Wedding Dresses
From 2004 to 2024, you knew us as PreownedWeddingDresses.com (POWD), but as of September 2024, we’re stepping into a new era as Nearly Newlywed (NN)!
Josie Daga founded PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com in 2004 after searching unsuccessfully to find a way to sell her own designer wedding dress.
Josie received her BA and MBA from the University of Richmond, and while working full-time at an advertising agency, built the original website herself, incorporating all of the features she knew wedding dress buyers and sellers wanted but didn't exist anywhere else.
Josie's been a bridesmaid 14 times, has attended over 100 weddings and has given too many wedding speeches to count. She's a self-proclaimed sucker for true love and, of course, a beautiful wedding dress. A Charleston native, she now lives in Toronto with her husband, David, and their two children.
