When we tell you we know some of the greatest vendors in the biz, we truly mean it.

We had a beautiful wedding over the last weekend that went off without a hitch (but a hitch was had) because of our fellow vendors coming together in a couples time of need, and it was ✨magical✨

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. LeBron! 🍾🥂

Big BIG shoutout to Kate Fortin! Making dreams come true one photo at a time.

Our sister store is finding their new home in Marengo, IL! If you know anyone who needs a dress, tell em where to go!

HERE WE GROW AGAIN, ILLINOIS! ✨

We are over the moon excited to announce that Betty & Beau Bridal is moving to a brand-new home on October 18th!

After five beautiful years in Woodstock, we’re thrilled to be calling Marengo our next chapter. This move gives us:
• More space – including a separate room for our time-sensitive brides and our beloved Bridal Eras off-the-rack collection.
• Double the appointments – two private areas so we can serve two brides at once while keeping the intimate experience you love.
• Easy access & parking – plenty of spaces right out front, perfect for guests and those needing accessible parking.
• Exciting new arrivals – a brand-new gown collection launching this winter.
• Our first curated merchandise line – planners, accessories, and more dropping 11.11.25!

And yes, a HUGE Moving Sale is coming soon—stay tuned!

Current brides: Nothing changes for you except where you’ll pick up your gown—our new Marengo boutique after October 18th.

Thank you for five amazing years of love and support in Woodstock. We cannot wait to welcome you to our new bridal home this fall.

Miss McHenry Pageant

We couldn’t be prouder of these four incredible young women!

Join us this Monday as they take the stage and absolutely shine — we know they’re going to crush it!

Watching their confidence grow, learning more about who they are, and witnessing the determination each one brings has been nothing short of inspiring. It’s an honor to host this event.

Only one will be crowned Miss McHenry, but every one of these remarkable women already holds the title of amazing in our eyes.
