20 YEARS OF DOING BRIDAL DIFFERENTLY: A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

“when i think about the beginning of anna bé & all the shops that followed, i think about what it felt like to be a bride myself. through my experience, i felt something was missing. i realized the bridal world didn’t quite have a space for everything I had imagined. so I built one.

in 2006, i set out to build the best wedding dress shop & experience. i knew bridal could be different & wedding dress shopping could be fun, curated, & approachable. we wanted a space for brides looking for something different, with an experience & wedding dresses that were just as unique as the brides wearing them. what began as one boutique has evolved into a special family that all share the same vision. today, the crew looks a lot bigger, with our flagship anna bé bridal boutique, eight a&bé locations, & four a&bé x anna bé shops, where the brands live side by side in the same space.

20 years later, our commitment to creating a thoughtful, personal, & genuinely enjoyable bridal experience remains at the heart of all our shops. styles have changed. weddings have changed. what will never change is our dedication to creating a space for brides to feel confident, seen, & most importantly, themselves.”
