Why MB Bride

Why Do Brides Drive So Far To Experience MB Bride & Special Occasion?

MB Bride is Pennyslvania’s largest family owned bridal and formalwear store. Brides drive from all over the mid-atlantic area / western Pennsylvania / Pittsburgh / Maryland / West Virginia / Ohio / Virginia even New York and beyond to see our incredible selection and experience our professionalism. We are like visiting five to ten average size bridal shops since we have one of the largest selections of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, and mother’s dresses available anywhere. (Tuxedos sales and rentals too!)

We’ve been providing Award Winning Service since 1991. Continuous investments in technology, floorspace, and relationships provide you with the least stressful and most pleasant buying experience possible. And unlike some stores, the owners are local. We work in the store. You can talk to us. Simply put, what matters to you, matters to us. Visit our store and let us show you how dress shopping was meant to be.

You can count on us to be here for your wedding! You really do need to consider the financial strength of where you buy. The biggest bridal chain in the world goes in and out of bankruptcy regularly. Several western PA shops have closed in 2024. We are stronger today financially than ever before!

Appointments are highly suggested, and required on the Saturdays and Sundays. Please call (724)-836-6626 or use our online form to schedule an appointment. We encourage you to read more about our specific capabilities below.

One Of The Widest Selections Of In-Store Wedding Dresses, Mothers Dresses, and Bridesmaid Dresses Available Anywhere.

We have over 650+ bridal gowns, more than 750+ bridesmaid dresses, and over 320+ mother’s dresses available across all of our collections. You’ll find a diverse range of styles from both well-known and up-and-coming designers. While the dresses you see in our online galleries are physically in our store, we have even more in the store. We’re confident you’ll find the style you (and your wedding party) are looking for.

In-House Stylists With International Expertise & Design Savvy.

Many of our stylists have traveled to major fashion markets to buy for the store. Some are even invited by designers to help design their lines! Whether in New York, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Memphis, Charleston, and many, many other places our stylists meet and learn from many of the top designers in the industry personally. Our fashion experts bring back extensive knowledge of fit, fabric, and design of the collections we carry to ensure they are knowledgeable about current wedding fashion trends. Let their knowledge and expert eye for fashion help you find the dress of your dreams!

Spacious, Personal Showrooms For Your Friends And Family.

When we say we provide the least stressful dress shopping experience possible, we mean it. We have modern and spacious personal showrooms where your entire wedding party can be with you out-of-sight of anyone else! It is you and your party’s own showroom! No rushing around the store in front of other customers or fighting over public mirrors and seating.

Very few bridal shops have enough room to give you and your entourage your own space! We have over 48 total changing rooms throughout the store.

Ask us questions. Take your time. We’ve been here since 1991 — and we aren’t going anywhere!

We still have an Alteration Department!

MB Bride is one of the few bridal stores that still has alterations services in the store. Our alterations contractors do everything needed here, without you having to go anywhere else.

Our alterations professionals have years and years of experience with formalwear. Altering formalwear, as opposed to everyday wear, is a specialty. Don’t trust just anybody to alter your gown!

Wedding Dress Storage And Pressing. Have you thought about it?

Good news, you’ve just purchased your special dress! Now you’ll need to safely store it before your wedding day. If it needs alterations, at other stores you probably will be transporting it back and forth from your house. The problem; most other bridal stores don’t offer storage. The few that do often charge a monthly fee. MB Bride offers free wedding dress storage and even a free pressing for any special order dress. These two free services combined can save you lots of money, and worry!

Meet Designers personally!

While our stylists travel the globe meeting with the industry’s leading designers, sometimes they come to us. You’ll notice we host more fashion events and trunk shows than any other bridal store in the area. Some we invite the designers themselves to our store. You can get an actual designer’s opinion about what you should wear!

We hope that you join us for one of our upcoming fashion events. Start by making an appointment by clicking here. At your appointment you can try on as many gowns as you like, and even save on your favorite designer dress.

We Also Carry an Incrdible Collection of Party And Prom Dresses. Tuxedos and Menswear, Too!

Our MB Prom prom store upstairs has over 1,500 dresses for prom, homecoming, formals, parties, and any other special occasion. It is bigger than our entire original bridal store and has become western PA’s premier prom and homecoming store with customers coming from out-of-state. Our Modern Tux shop carries all the latest fashions in menswear, too, including FCGI, Ike Behar, GiNovia, Kenneth Cole, Larr Brio, Jean Yves, Chaps, Perry Ellis, After Six, David Major, Giorgio Fiorelli, Allure Men, David Tutera — just to name a few.

Testimonials

"LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! I’m from California and was in the area on a work trip. Recently engaged, so thought, why not check out a few bridal shops while in town after work? Stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon with no appointment (last minute decisions, right?!), and quickly got paired with Judi, who was AMAZING from start to finish. She was adamant about sticking to my budget and trying to even save if possible, she said, to be able to pay for other wedding expenses. She was always up front about any imperfections she saw and any alterations that would be needed on the dresses I tried on, so that nothing would come as a surprise later. Based on a few of my comments about what I liked about a few of the dresses, she went back to where we were looking, and grabs a dress I had purposely skipped over. And it was PERFECT. The fairytale dress that will be perfect for my wedding. And I (purposely) skipped it over while I was looking through the racks myself!! Overall, very low pressure with a great group of people who care and genuinely want you to feel special. They knew I was from out of town and likely wouldn’t be coming back for alterations or tuxedos from this particular shop, but that didn’t stop Judi from being the best consultant she could be. I sooo wish they were local so I could go back, and refer everyone I know! Thanks MB Bridal!!"

"All of the associates here are what really made my trips so special. Each one had patience and truly cared about how you felt and getting you into your dream dress. I couldn’t have been happier with the way my family and friends were treated and how much they made me feel like a real life princess. Thank you MB Bride for helping make my special fay even better!!"

"Awesome dresses i would 1000% recommend going for homecoming and prom ! also the place was very organized for being so busy !"

"Finding my dress at MB Bride was so seamless and easy thanks to Christa. She was able to pull dresses and have me in and out of each one so quickly, without making any of us feel rushed at all. Her knowledge came through so confidently that it put me at ease with every decision. The entire staff made me feel beautiful and were all so welcoming, sweet, and professional. Would recommend MB to every bride😊❤️"

"Klarissa went above and beyond my expectations! I was super nervous to try on dresses as a plus size woman, she pulled dresses in my style and size. I did end up finding the one thanks to her!!! The bridal floor is beautiful and expansive but they have even more options for just about anybody. Very excited to have had such a stress free day with her expertise and help. 👰🏻‍♀️"

"I had an amazing experience at MB Bride. Thia was my consultant and she was so helpful. I went in needing a dress that day, and she was up for the task! She helped me find a beautiful dress that was a sample. She even took my daughter dress shopping to make sure that she found a dress as well! I would absolutely recommend this place to everybody. They have a huge selection of beautiful dresses! I could have been there all day trying on dresses. The experience was amazing! Thank you Thia!"

"MB was my first stop when looking for my wedding dress. Susan was incredible, so nice, direct, and funny. She made us so comfortable. She pulled dresses I thought I wanted as well as dresses out of my comfort zone. Within the first 5 dresses, we had the one. Cancelled my other appointments and said yes to the dress. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to feel special for their big day!"

"Susan helped me find the perfect Mother of the Groom Dress. She was wonderful. I was a little nervous but she made it a really fun experience. She really listened to me and found me the perfect dress."
