This is Christine, our ringleader and her beautiful mother Mary who together started Bridal Elegance over 40 years ago! While Mary is no longer with us, she’s always dropping little messages at the Bridal shop to let us know she’s always there ❤️

Christine and her husband Mitch have been married 40 years this September and her mother’s marriage spanned over 5 decades! .

We’ve loved celebrating our family with you the last few days and ending it celebrating two amazing mothers just seems right.

Hurrah! We are opening on Monday! In order to follow the proper guidelines for everyone’s health & safety, we will be offering Appointment Only services. Given the nature of our salon, at this time, all appointments will be limited to customer plus one guest. This includes Cuffs Formal Wear, bridal appointments, all fittings and measurements, all dress shopping and pickups. This will ensure we keep a safe number of patrons in the salon in compliance with social distance requirements. As Pennsylvania and the Covid19 risk changes, we will most certainly re-evaluate these limitations. We can’t wait to see you!!!!💕 call us at 814-866-7790

These beautiful pictures are a stunning mother, Dawn and her gorgeous daughter, Abby. They got married at the same church, both used us for their wedding gowns, plus had the same beautiful flowers from @allburn_florist ! Here’s what Dawn had to say about her @bridalelegance814 experience :
Hello Dear Ones!
I have been enjoying immensely the lovely photos you have been posting through Instagram of your brides (past & present) and wanted to not only include our own, but to tell you just how much I have enjoyed you doing this wonderful feature. You are truly blessed with a clientele who LOVES YOU and it is evident through all the photos being sent your way!
Bridal Elegance has always been a special place for our family. I remember, as if it were yesterday, how magical my own experience was (almost) 35 years ago, and then to share in the same joy when it was time for our daughter just several May’s ago. (I couldn’t help but miss Mary being there in her slippers though…) Bridal Elegance is a true-treasure in our Erie Community and I am so proud of all you are doing for your brides during this difficult time. God bless you (all) for everything you have done & continue to do. Your Brides will remember all your caring efforts….even 35 years later.
Hugs & Blessings!

Guys need love too!! We were happy to outfit this fun out of town wedding for their Cleveland wedding December 20, 2019! .

The guys were from all over but many had roots in Erie and wanted to support our wonderful #local business! .

Let’s be honest. They look A M A Z I N G! .

Cuffs can accommodate any wedding party! Formal and far apart! A few for a casual wedding all together! Your rustic extravaganza! They have it all and you have the benefit of a local hands on approach you aren’t getting online 😉
