Courtney Young
Owner and Head Designer
I’m Courtney Young, owner and head designer of Young Mermaids! I fell in love with sewing at 14, and that passion led me to earn my bachelor’s degree in Apparel Design and Production Management from Auburn University in 2019. Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, I’ve had the honor of working with many Southern brides who value an elevated bridal experience. After moving to the greater Philadelphia area for love, I’m excited to bring that same experience to a new region of brides. Why Young Mermaids? I’m proud of my last name, and I like to think I stole my hair from a mermaid... so come join Young Mermaids and let's make waves on your big day!

I can’t say enough about working with Courtney on my rehearsal dinner outfit of my DREAMS! ✨ I had a vision in mind, and she brought it completely to life.
What made it even more ...
special was getting to wear my mom’s rehearsal dinner dress — and then having Courtney design a custom cape to complement it. We went through sketches until she absolutely nailed what I couldn’t even describe in my head! She carefully sourced the perfect fabric and brought every detail together flawlessly.
As if that wasn’t enough, she even took leftover fabric from my wedding day dress and created a stunning purse for me to gift to my mom on my wedding day. 💕
Bring any crazy ideas you have to Courtney she’ll make them happen and exceed every expectation!

kful for Courtney and the role she played in making all of my dreams come to life. Every decision Courtney made was with me in mind! I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day, and everyone said my dress was exactly "me." There is no higher compliment!To know her is to know intentionality and kindness, and her work is incredibly beautiful. Courtney was also very clear in all of her communication and made me feel so supported throughout every piece of wedding planning. I cannot recommend working with her enough!
