Los Angeles bridal shop Loho Bride replaced celebrity stylist Maeve Reilly’s wedding dress after it was destroyed in the city’s wildfires fires in January
Reilly shared the sweet moment on TikTok in an emotional video
The stylist documented being evacuated from her home earlier this year
Maeve Reilly got a sweet surprise after losing her belongings in the Los Angeles wildfires.
In a TikTok video posted on Wednesday, July 30, the celebrity stylist shared that the bridal shop where she got her wedding dress replaced the original gown that was destroyed in the January fire.
“I am at Loho Bride with a client of mine because she’s getting married, and as you guys know I did all my wedding stuff here with the amazing team,” Reilly shared in a selfie video. “And as you know, my house burned down and all of my possessions, and the one thing that I honestly am the saddest about is my wedding dress, and look.”
The stylist then turned the camera around to show a white dress hanging on a rack.
“She’s not quite the same,” she continued, “We’re missing the skirt, but at least I have this to pass on to my daughter one day.”
Reilly then became emotional. “I’m really crying, it’s really nice,” she said before hugging one of the bridal shop employees.
Reilly and her husband, Zach Quittman, got married last June at the Palm Hotel in Grand Cayman.
Back in January, the stylist chronicled evacuation from their home during the L.A. fires on her Instagram Stories. Reilly revealed she was notified she had to evacuate while she was 30 minutes away from home. Once there, Reilly shared that she and Quittman only had “10 minutes, max,” in the house, so they left with “nothing but an overnight bag and our animals.”

In April, Reilly told PEOPLE that despite the challenges they faced, the tragedy brought her and her husband closer.
“I think the relationship is even stronger because of it. But it’s a big challenge at the same time,” she shared.
“I mean, this was a house that was our dream home. It was bigger than we needed because we’re trying to start a family. So yeah, it was definitely where we thought we were going to raise a kid, and he has two teenagers in Malibu, so it was sort of like the perfect place for us,” Reilly admitted.

She continued, “We were close to his kids, and I was close-ish to my office. And yeah, it’s a crazy curveball, and it was a really special place. And it’s irreplaceable, I guess, is what we’re realizing as time has gone on and trying to find a new place to be. It is a really irreplaceable town, so TBD on where we land, but definitely with the right guy. Thank God.”
The stylists’ clients have included Hailey Bieber and Eva Longoria. In speaking with PEOPLE, Reilly shared that she values Longoria’s advice.
“She has taught me not to waste time doing things you don’t want to do. I think that she is very particular with her time and getting her work done and doing it quickly and efficiently and getting back to her family,” Reilly shared.
She continued. “She’s really good at prioritizing everything. I know people always say it’s impossible to have a work-life balance, but I do think she does a really good job of it. And I think the longer these girls are in the industry for the more conscious they are of what matters and family is the most important thing and I see her prioritizing that. And at my age now, I’m 37, I started when I was 20, it’s different. I don’t give my entire life to my job anymore like I used to.”
