Meet the team of A Love Story Bridal

Janet Cooper took ownership of the original Angela’s Bridal in 2008, evolving the salon into A Love Story Bridal. Her goal is to bring joy to her customers by helping them feel their best when wearing their bridal gown, something she learned from her mother (a bridal consultant for 33 years). The women behind the reason Janet does what she does: "My mother came home from work everyday with a big smile on her face, she loved what she did". 

Janet's vision was to create an exceptional bridal shopping experience in a relaxed environment, delivered by knowledgeable consultants, against a modern décor. Paired with the ensuring the perfect fit, when it came to the alterations of the bridal gown, preformed by expectational skilled seamstress for a breath taking look.

Janet has over 25 years of experience in gown design and tailoring, she is a graduate of Penn State University with an MFA in Costume Design and technology. Prior to entering the bridal fashion she worked in Theater Costume Design for 15 years, and served as Head of Wardrobe at the prestigious English National Opera in London, England. Before that, at The Chicken Shed theatre, an all inclusive theater also in London. It was at the Chicken Shed Theater that she really learned how clothing responds to all body sizes and shapes and therefore, how to find solutions for unique needs. 

Giving back to the community is something she holds so dear. For several years she hosted Visionary, an event to showcase the vendors in the bridal industry, a non for profit that raised money for Little Smiles. She also raised over $30k for the LLS, in 2016 in honor of one of her brides and in memory of her grandmother.

Janet’s commitment to every Love Story bride is simple: You will have an amazing bridal gown experience from the beginning to ever after. She instills this ethic in every step of the gown selection process and customer service and it shows – customers rave about their Love Story Bridal experience.  We can’t wait to share your love story with you!
