Owner and President, Andrea Novak is a native Chicagoan. After attending college, Andrea opened her own  salon and spa in the trendy Lincoln Park area of Chicago. After 5 years in the salon industry, Andrea sold her business and finding an interest in cosmetics, worked with Nordstrom in cosmetics management in Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco. Addicted to trend and fashion, Andrea found a passion for MAC Cosmetics and pursued a career with MAC that spanned 13 years. During that time, she was responsible for sales operations in several states in the South, living in Texas, before returning home in to where it all started and overseeing the Midwest as the Executive Director, Field and Artist Training for MAC Cosmetics.  Eager to enter the wedding industry, Andrea left MAC Cosmetics in 2009 to begin the inception of Bella Bleu. Andrea resides in the North Suburbs of Chicago with her husband, son, and 2 canine family members.

Andrea founded Bella Bleu shortly after planning her own wedding in 2008. While shopping, Andrea felt that most sites fell short of her expectations and left her disappointed. It was her own adventure and experience as a bride that led her to create a beautiful online atmosphere where brides can find couture, quality items to enhance their event.

Andrea is consistently sourcing new items from trend to classic to enable Bella Bleu to offer an extensive selection of luxury items. Against a backdrop of personal service, Bella Bleu creates confidence with brides and surpasses their expectations for service with a knowledgeable, committed, professional staff who is dedicated to making each client’s experience an exceptional one.    

We, at Bella Bleu, understand that each client is an individual with a different vision. For this reason, we are available by phone or email to answer any questions you may have to guide you through the purchases for your distinctive event.
