With a touch of Old Hollywood elegance, glam, and sophistication, these new arrivals are perfect for the modern Marilyn! 💋✨

2) Christina Wu style 48026, fits like a size 6, $350
3) Christina Wu style 22205, fits like a size 6, $270
4) Maria for Private Label Bella Blue, fits like a size 22, $1,200 (this one reminds us of Marilyn's gown from the 23rd Academy Awards in 1951. It's just 🤌 *chef's kiss*)

Marilyn said, "diamonds are a girl's best friend", which reminds us, have you made your accessory appointment yet? We have everything from veils to tiaras, belts to jewelry; make your appointment with us today!

🚨Calling all lace lovers 🚨
We took a look at the tags, and these two new arrivals have your name on them!

1) NWT Martina Liana style ML1025, fits like a size 6, $1,999 (the hand-placed, French lace is stunning!)
2) Allure Bridals style 9808, fits like a size 8, $1,350

If you love lace, we have plenty of stunning options—from intricate designs to soft, flowing textures. But if lace isn’t your thing, don’t worry! We have countless other beautiful fabrics like satin, chiffon, or crepe that might be just what you’re looking for.
Schedule your appointment with us today! We’re here to help you find a dress that makes you feel incredible.

Ready to take the plunge with these plunging necklines?

1) Allure Bridals Couture style C581, fits like a size 6, $1,499
2) Essense of Australia style D2761, fits like a size 4, $1,250
3) Bonnie for Willowby by Watters, tag size 6, $1,200
4) NWT Martina Liana style ML888, fits like a size 4, $1,750

Did you fall in love with a dress, but don't love the low neckline? The nice thing about most gowns is they have many layers in the skirt. This means your seamstress can take some fabric from one of those layers (or hem if you got it shortened) and use it to close a plunging neckline. This keeps the dress true to what you fell in love with, while staying true to you.

"Shopping at Bridal Maven was one of the best experiences I had during wedding planning and truly made a world of difference. My dress was perfect!"

Lily looked absolutely stunning in her Rivini Tyler gown! 😍 We love seeing what alterations brides choose for their dresses. Lily customized hers with a bustle for a chic ankle/tea-length look at the reception and added a matching hair bow and straps from the gown’s excess fabric.

Congratulations!! 💕

Are you a price savvy bride? You've come to the right shop!
Our dresses are consignment, meaning they've only been worn down the aisle once. We also have a large selection of sample gowns that may have been tried on in store but never worn in a wedding.

1) BHLDN beaded sheath, tag size 12, $350
2) Essense of Australia style D3254, fits like a size 14, $999
3) URB tulle ballgown, tag size 27, $999
4) Channing by Jenny Yoo, fits like a size 8, $850
5) NWT David’s Bridal style 9WG3850, fits like a size 18, $800

“I could not have had a more amazing experience in your shop! Thank you for making it so special for me!”

The real thank you goes out to our bride Kaylan! Kaylan found her dream dress with us and said "I do" to her wife, Holly, at the end of June! 💍💕 We’re honored to have been part of such a beautiful day and love seeing the joy radiate in these photos. Thank you, Kaylan, for sharing your love story with us!

💐 Congratulations to the happy couple!

Meet Nicole, one of our stunning brides! She said ‘I do’ this past May in this dreamy gown she found with us last year. We’re obsessed with how radiant she looks against those breathtaking mountains!

Try adding accessories like a veil, jewelry, or headpiece; we even have clips in our dressing rooms for you to clip your hair in a quick updo. Seeing yourself in bridalwear is different from seeing yourself as a bride, and we want to make sure you feel as good as you look.

The Mavens of Bridal Maven had a great time at the Bash last night! From left to right, stylists Nicole and Sara, owner Hannah, operations fairy Holly, and social media star Sarah!

The last time I went to the bash was 2018, when I worked at another store and hadn’t yet dreamed up Bridal Maven. Last night I got to hug my old boss and meet her new crew and she met mine (shout out to !) It’s a sweet reminder of how connected we all are in this industry and that as vendors we are all in it together to make your wedding dreams come true.

And this photo, with me and a whole team? Well it’s a dream that YOU all have made come true for me. So thank you!!!!

That said if you’re new around here, we’d love to meet you! Bridal Maven is Pittsburgh’s only sustainably chic bridal consignment boutique, connecting soonlyweds with affordable designer gowns that are ready for a new walk down the aisle. Visit our website for more info on the 400+ gowns we have in store and get to know us. We are here for you when you’re ready to book that appointment and find your dream dress, for less!

Love,

Hannah

The power of ✨clipping✨, because you don't want to walk out of the dressing room holding up your dress. Formal wear, especially bridal wear, generally won't fit perfectly without having some alterations first. Our inventory of dresses is consignment, meaning some have been altered while others haven't been altered at all. Clipping helps achieve that perfectly tailored-to-you look so you don't have to imagine what it'll look like on your wedding day; it also helps give you an idea of what alterations you want for your dress before going to your seamstress! #BridalMaven #WeddingDressClipping #ThePowerofClipping #BridalConsigment #SustainableBride #SustainableWedding #PittsburghBride #BurghBride #PittsburghWedding

This sample sale weekend flew by (almost as fast as this video), but we still have plenty of accessories in stock. Don't forget! 40% of ALL accessory sale proceeds will be donated to several families affected by the recent hurricanes. #BridalMaven #BridalSampleSale #BridalConsignment #SustainableBride #SustainableWedding #PittsburghBride #PittsburghWedding #BurghBride

Something wicked [awesome] this way comes! We're having a spooky sample sale from Wednesday, October 30th, through Sunday, November 3rd, with savings so good they’re scary! We will have specially priced racks of gowns at $199, $499, and $999; anything in the store not on those specially marked racks will be reduced by 10%! Additionally, a portion of all accessory sales will be donated to hurricane relief to support several families in need. Our sample sale appointments are bookable online through our website (no walk-ins, please). Sample sale appointments are no different from our regular bridal appointments; you'll still have your own room, a stylist helping you every step of the way, and an hour to try on all the dreamy dresses of your choosing. This is a REALLY good time to shop! We can't wait to see you for this spooktacularly good sale! #BridalMaven #SampleSale #ConsignmentBridalSale #BridalConsignment #SustainableBride #SustainableWedding #PittsburghBride #PittsburghWedding #BurghBride
