Alfred Angelo was a prominent bridal fashion house specializing in traditional wedding gowns and bridesmaid attire.

History

Founded in 1933 by Alfred Angelo Piccione and Edythe Vincent Piccione in Philadelphia, the company became a global leader in the bridal industry. It gained significant cultural recognition through its Disney Fairy Tale Weddings collection, which translated animated characters into bridal designs. Despite its long history and extensive retail presence, the brand ceased operations abruptly in 2017 following a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, marking a major shift in the bridal retail landscape.
