CHICAGO, IL – The Chicago Bears have announced Grace + Ivory, a woman-owned bridal designer and brand based in Chicago, as the second of four honorees in the 2025 Small Business All-Pros program, presented by PNC.

.

From October 15 through November 10, Grace + Ivory will receive exclusive promotion across Chicago Bears digital platforms, social media, and in-stadium exposure at Soldier Field.

.

Founded by Tina Wong, a lifelong Bears fan raised in Rogers Park, Grace + Ivory has reimagined the bridal shopping experience with customizable, made-to-measure wedding dresses designed to fit modern brides on their own terms.

.

Based in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood, Grace + Ivory offers high-quality gowns without 2X retail markups, flexible try-at-home options, and a welcoming showroom where brides can shop with confidence. Known for its craftsmanship and personalization, the brand reflects Wong’s vision of bridalwear that centers women’s needs and celebrates individuality.

.

“Teaming up with the Bears and PNC helps us connect with a wider audience while lifting up a homegrown business rooted in empowerment,” said Tina Wong, Founder and Creative Director of Grace + Ivory. “This partnership drives awareness, increases showroom visits, and expands our impact: more dresses, more women supported. As a business built by women, for women, there’s no better teammate than the Chicago Bears and PNC.”

.

Beyond the wedding aisle, Grace + Ivory invests in women across Chicago. A portion of proceeds from every dress sold supports organizations like the Chicago Foundation for Women, which funds programs that advance safety, economic security, and healthcare access for women and girls.

.

Founder Tina Wong’s commitment to collaboration extends through a broader network of women-led businesses — from stylists to event vendors — creating a ripple effect of opportunity and shared growth. What began as a bridal label has evolved into a platform for social impact, using weddings as a way to celebrate love while investing in the future of women in Chicago.

.

Grace + Ivory was born from Wong’s own wedding dress search, after encountering limited options, high markups, and a lack of empathy in traditional boutiques. Drawing on her background in international nonprofits, Wong built Grace + Ivory around the belief that business can be a force for good, offering brides a more thoughtful, inclusive, and empowering way to shop.

.

Since its launch in 2017, Grace + Ivory has become a trusted name for brides across Chicagoland, blending modern style, purpose, and community. Its selection as a 2025 Small Business All-Pros recipient reflects the Bears and PNC’s shared commitment to uplifting local entrepreneurs who demonstrate resilience, impact, and deep community ties.
