welcome to pittsburgh’s only sustainably chic bridal consignment boutique!

We are so glad you are here!

we are a wedding dress [REsale] shop!

We are so thrilled to have been voted this year’s Best of the Burgh “Best Wedding Shop” by readers of Pittsburgh City Paper! Bridal Maven drives sustainability in bridal fashion by offering area brides the unique opportunity to buy and sell their beautiful, once used wedding dresses on consignment. Bridal Maven is a haven for the eco shopper and fashion diva brides alike- we take the strain off the resources needed to produce a new gown while offering designer gowns at substantial savings! If you want to save the Earth, save money, and look fabulous while doing so, book your shopping appointment here! We offer private appointments with up to 4 guests in our boutique space in Dormont, PA.

We also offer newlyweds an opportunity to resell their beloved gowns - worn once, and deserving of another walk down the aisle. The circular economy is the future, and we are so glad to be a part of it! Ready to sell? Fill out our consignment form and we’ll be in touch soon!

Curious about our dresses?

Our gowns are from 2020 or newer, many new with tags, ranging from $499-$2500. Boho, classic, modern minimalist, or glam, we have a little bit of everything! We also offer a small selection of veils, jewelry, and accessories.


Check out some of our gowns (not all!) on our online shop. I’ve helped hundreds of brides find their dream dress, and I would love to help you, too! If you’d like to know a little bit more, I tell my story here and answer some common questions over here, and I am always happy to chat via email hello@bridalmavenpgh.com or by DM on Instagram @bridalmavenpgh !

visit Our shop!

Located in the bustling borough of Dormont, PA in the South Hills region of Pittsburgh, we are by appointment only for all types of shopping (bridal gowns, little white dresses, and accessories) so you and your party can enjoy having the boutique to yourselves!

Our location is 1445 Potomac Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, right next to the historic Hollywood Theater. Appointments are available Wednesday through Saturday or by special arrangement.

Congrats you did it!

Now what are you going to do with your dress?
1) Keep it for a hypothetical future child who will share your fashion taste, obviously (if this is you, you can x out now!)

2) Forget to clean it and leave it in your mom’s closet for several years (oh wait that’s me, sorry Mom!)

3) Clean it and put the gown away in a sad little box…forever.

4) Consign your gown and let it have another life!

There are many great reasons to sell your wedding dress! Consignment is environmentally friendly, helps you make money after your wedding, and gives new life to a gown whose sole purpose is to make brides feel radiant. Why should such a beautiful garment only be worn once? If you aren’t going to wear it at all, or wear it again, pass the joy along!  We make consignment fun and easy. If your gown doesn’t meet our criteria, we do accept gown donations that we sell for the benefit of local charities. Submit our consignment form or email us for more information!

Consign!
