Brenda's Bridal Boutique is the exclusive dealer for several collections of bridal wear in Grey-Bruce County. Some of these collections include wedding gowns by Private Label (Kenneth Winston, Ella Rosa & Ella Rosa Gallery), Tania Olsen, as well as Christina Wu Celebrations bridesmaid dresses. We would also like to introduce wedding gowns by Adriana Alier, a line by Rosa Clara of Barcelona, Spain, and gowns by Sydney's Closet, specializing in sizes 14W to 40W.
We also carry dresses & gowns suitable for the Mothers of the Wedding and guests alike, by Alex Evenings, SLNY, and Jolene Canada Ladies Wear. We have recently added the Frank Lyman Collection, a wonderfully Canadian made collection.
In addition, we can provide Jolene Children's Wear for the little people in your wedding party, and Collin's Formal Wear for the gentlemen of your party. Accessories by Bridal Classics are also highlighted in our collections.
When a bride purchases her gown at Brenda's Bridal Boutique, all of her bridesmaids will receive a 10% discount off the purchase price of their dresses.
Brenda's Bridal Boutique also offers such services as alterations or customization, and gown preparation.
Please note: Alterations for "out-of-store" purchases are at the discretion of the seamstress, as time permits. Please call the store for availability. (519) 934-3883.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment to try on wedding gowns?
As stated above, we currently are open, preferably by appointment. Please call (519) 934-3883 to book your appointment.
Who should I bring with me to the appointment?
We are asking that our guests bring no more than 5 people total (including the bride). You are more than welcome to bring guests with you! We do advise that you bring those whose opinions mean the most to you. Try to limit your group to two or three people, as sometimes it can get very confusing with too many opinions, and your opinion is the one that matters the most.
Do I need to bring/wear anything in particular for the appointment?
Please wear appropriate undergarments (ie. underwear is a must), a strapless bra, and shoes if you have a preferred heel height. Try to keep make-up to a minimum.
How early should I be shopping for my wedding gown?
We suggest starting your search for a gown about 9-12 months prior to your wedding date. Some Manufacturers can take up to 8 months to deliver your gown.
What sizes do we carry in-stock? Can gowns be purchased off the rack? What is our price range?
We carry from size 6 to size 28W in stock. This may vary from time to time. Yes, gowns can be purchased off the rack. Our prices range from $250-2500, with most gowns averaging $800-$1600.
When do bridesmaid dresses need to be ordered? Size ranges?
Depending on the manufacturer, bridesmaid dresses can take up to 14-19 weeks to be delivered to us. In-store samples range from size 6 to 24. Again, this can vary from time to time. Many of the manufacturers charge an upcharge of $25 for plus sizes (size 18 and up)
Alterations?
Yes, we offer in-house alterations. Our customers are under no obligation to use our services. The cost of alterations are not included in the cost of the gowns/dresses. If you are going to book for alterations it is always best to reserve your time slot early. We usually like to start alterations approximately 8 weeks prior to the wear date. Please be sure to bring the undergarments that you plan on wearing, and shoes the same heel height you are wearing for your event.
