Edmonton shops ideal for bridesmaid dresses
Being a bridesmaid is the best and the worst of times – it’s a fun honour but it can be nightmare picking out a dress that doesn’t make you look like a marshmallow peep. These Edmonton stores offer bridesmaid gowns that will make you look and feel like a princess without breaking the bank.
Bridal Début
156-134 Pembina Rd, Sherwood Park, AB T8H 0M2There are some gorgeous bridemaid dresses here that can actually be worn after the wedding (everyone says that but it is rarely true). They carry great brands, such as After Six, Alfred Sung and the Dessy Group, all of which offer gowns in a variety of styles and colours. What’s really great about these dresses is that usually the same dress will come with multiple necklines, so that bridesmaids can choose if they want a halter, strapless, spaghetti strap or one-shoulder dress.
The Bridal & Tuxedo House
13059 156th Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5V 0A2There is an actual bridesmaid loft here for your ladies in waiting to try on dresses in peace while popping some champsies and having actual fun. You can book an appointment for the loft and try on a multitude of gowns, from collections such as Allure, Venus Bella Bridesmaids and Jasmine Bridal. Whether you go regally long or for short and cute, you’ll be able to pick your dress out while avoiding the chaos.
Ethos Bridal Group
170 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5T 4M2This cozy shop at West Edmonton Mall is where I found my bridesmaid dress for my sister’s wedding (and by found, I mean she found it and told me to wear it). They order in dresses in your size instead of making you take one off the rack and desperately trying to make it fit. And their selection of styles and colours is awesome. While I did end up looking like a pink marshmallow, that was exactly what my sister wanted (and the bride is always right).
Delica Bridal House Ltd
108-2951 Ellwood Dr SW, Edmonton, AB T6X 0B1This gorgeous bridal house is home to a carefully curated selection of unique, elegant dresses suited for a formal or fancy wedding – bridesmaid dresses range from $225 to $425. They carry dresses from unique brands such as Amsale, Alvina Valenta, Jim Hjelm Occasions, Jenny Yoo and Noir by Lazaro. Best of all, shopping here is a quiet, peaceful experience – no hordes of shrieking high school grads-to-be trying to find gowns while you try on bridesmaid dresses.
Novelle Bridal Shop
10553 124 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5N 1R8When this adorable bridal boutique moved into a bigger space in 2013, it gave them a chance to start carrying some bridesmaid dresses, along with their array of wedding gowns. While the selection is minimal – four brands –they are classy dresses that you will never look like a cupcake or meringue in when you walk down the aisle for your friend.
