Our Mission
At Blanc de Blanc, our mission is to make finding your dream wedding gown an experience like no other.
We understand that searching for the perfect bridal gown can be a long process, so we make sure that our brides have nothing but a pleasant and wonderful shopping experience. Assisting brides is not only our job, but our passion as well. We created an untraditional bridal boutique where you can sip champagne and enjoy your time trying on fashionable and modern wedding gowns with your nearest and dearest. So, pop the champagne, and let the magic begin!
ANGELEA
THE FOUNDER OF BLANC DE BLANC BRIDAL
Being the girl obsessed with fashion from a very young age, Angelea decided to join that world and pursue her studies in fashion design and the arts. After expanding her studies in Italy, Paris, New York and London, she designed her first bridal collection, inspired by Gardens of Versailles, and was awarded by Kent University for her unique laser cut textile design. Angelea then fulfilled her lifelong dream and made the move to New York City where she gathered experience from its ever-expanding fashion industry. During her time in New York, she worked for multiple designers, one of which was a well-known indie bridal designer, who helped enhance her skills and techniques.
What brought her to Pittsburgh? Angelea was raised here and was motivated to come back to share her experience and expertise with the Pittsburgh brides. Her goal is to collaborate with international bridal brands and offer brides a fresh and modern shopping concept right here in Pittsburgh. Since the move back, she has been working on every little detail to ensure a positive shopping journey for the bride.
From the designers and selected gowns, to décor and atmosphere, to a custom collection of bridal accessories designed by Angelea herself, Blanc de Blanc represents an alternative bridal experience that the modern bride is searching for.

MIRANDA
BOUTIQUE MANAGER & SENIOR STYLIST – PITTSBURGH
I absolutely love my job because I get to speak with so many amazing and special brides. I love listening to our bride’s ideas and inspiration about what they are wanting their wedding dress to look and feel like. It’s always so special being a part of my bride’s dress journey with them. A blank slate excites me and I love starting with a subtle fit-and-flare then adding unique accessories to make the dress truly one of a kind. Nothing tops helping brides play dress up with all our gowns until she has that moment it all clicks that she finally has found hers! I love helping brides find the dream dress that they will walk down the aisle in… to their dream person! (Chills!!) It’s truly such an emotional process so don’t judge me when I start tearing up with the rest of your family when we find you the one!

I am a Mom of 3 and stepmom of 2. I was born and raised the Steelers way! I’ve been performing bridal alterations for 15 years now and I love to custom fit brides’ gowns to fit their bodies and styles! My favorite part of the alterations process is experiencing the final fitting when all the alterations have been completed and our brides gown is ready for her Big Day!! When I’m not busy performing gown surgeries I’m spending time with my family, cheering on the Steelers, painting or designing!

The Spaces
PITTSBURGH | A laid-back, intimate boutique offering a unique atmosphere, nestled on the second floor of a bright and airy loft in a historical firehouse.
CLEVELAND | An intimate boutique with an open second story, tucked back on a quiet street in Chagrin Falls — a little Main Street village.
Instead of following trends or keeping the traditional wedding gown aesthetic, we believe that brides should stick to their personal style. We carry exclusive independent designers from all over the world and strive to showcase versatile design details; such as, vintage inspired, bohemian flare, gowns with a touch of color, old-fashion glamour with modern simplicity, and anywhere in between. Our team is always searching for the next emerging indie designers and unique gowns that have an outstanding and special vibe, just like our brides.
