At Bella Bianca, everything we do is rooted in the emotion each bride brings with her when she walks through our doors—anticipation, joy, and the excitement of a moment she has envisioned for so long. We understand this experience is singular, meaningful, and unlike any other. Every member of our team has built their career around ensuring brides feel seen, supported, and exceptional—creating an atmosphere that is elevated, personal, and intentionally designed around her journey. Our stylists bring both expertise and intention to every appointment. They listen deeply to the personal details behind each bride’s vision, providing honest, supportive guidance so brides can move forward with confidence and clarity.

From the moment Bella Bianca opened its doors in 2008, owners Melissa Russell and Natalie Bauer have worked to create a salon where exceptional service and luxurious gowns collide. Together they personally curate gowns from the finest designers in the world, ensuring that our selection is rich in variety and truly the most diverse available in Chicago.

We also recognize that saying yes to your gown is only the start of our commitment. Our support carries forward through our expert alterations team, who refine every detail and complete each bridal look with the finishing touches that shape a wedding-day vision into a fully realized design.

From first meetings to final touches, Bella Bianca has earned a reputation for superior client service. Our philosophy is simple—deliver the finest couture bridal fashion while creating an unmatched moment for our brides. 

We can’t wait to meet you in one of our salons!
