Bridal Boutique OKC Love Stories Romance Bookstore The Nook Event Rental Space
Meet Courtney & Angela
Hey there! We’re Courtney Hedrick and Angela Oliver, the dynamic duo behind The Formal Niche, Love Stories Romance Only Bookstore, and The Nook Event Space. Together, we’ve poured decades of passion, creativity, and love for all things bridal and the romantic into creating a space where every love story is celebrated.
With over 22 years in the bridal industry, Courtney has made it her mission to help brides feel like absolute queens. From the happy tears to those magical “this is the one” moments, she’s been dedicated to creating unforgettable bridal experiences. Eleven years ago, she opened The Formal Niche, a bridal boutique where brides could find a beautiful dress at a great price. But Courtney’s love for romance didn’t stop with dresses. That’s why she’s so excited to bring together the worlds of fashion and literature through Love Stories and The Nook.
In addition to her passion for bridal fashion, Courtney is also a dedicated realtor and dream life coach. She believes in the power of dreams and personal growth, offering journals and workbooks on Amazon to help others on their journeys. Whether she’s assisting clients in finding their dream homes or guiding them through life transitions, Courtney is committed to making a positive impact. She was featured in Hundred Magazine in 2024 as one of 100 Wildly Capable Women in OKC. Her unique blend of expertise in both the bridal and coaching realms allows her to inspire and empower those around her to embrace their best lives.
Angela brings over 25 years of experience in the bridal and formal industry, with a deep passion for customer service and attention to detail. Having trained Courtney when she first started in the industry, Angela’s journey has come full circle, as the two now work side by side to create magical experiences for brides, grooms, and romantics alike. Angela’s favorite part? Watching the joy light up someone’s face when they find “the one”—whether it’s the perfect dress or a new favorite romance novel.
Together, we’re on a mission to spread joy, love, and unforgettable moments—one dress, one book and one event at a time. We’re so excited to welcome you to our cozy, inclusive space where love stories are everywhere!
