Leslie DeAngelo

Co-owner, VOWS Bridal Outlet

Rick and Leslie DeAngelo are innovators in the wedding industry. The couple launched their bridal outlet 20 years ago just after their own wedding. Leslie was unable to find a designer wedding gown at an affordable price for her own wedding, so they decided to do something about it. VOWS Bridal Outlet was born and has since grown to be the largest bridal outlet of high-end designer wedding gowns in the country.

Rick and Leslie have developed relationships with top designers, retailers and manufacturers around the world. They tap these contacts for overstocks, samples and discontinued goods and deliver them to savvy, bargain shopping brides at savings of 50 to 80% off retail.
