Our Why
How many women do you know who have had a nightmare experience shopping for their wedding dress? Dismissive and inattentive stylists if you aren't a small size with 5 grand to spend. Body shaming. Belittling brides about budgets.
These are real experiences women have when buying their wedding dress.
With limited options for women of the south coast of NSW for wedding dress shopping, many women were either suffering inadequate service locally or being forced to travel hours away to Sydney or Canberra.
Almost all bridal shops do not stock an adequate range of sample sizes- we have lost count of the number of brides who come saying they have been told to try on size 6 gowns and just "imagine it” in the right size.
Every woman deserves to feel beautiful and valued. All the time. So we decided to flip this narrative on it's head.
Ironically, we have developed such a reputation for our reasonable price points, inclusive size ranges and beautiful service that half our brides are from Sydney, Canberra and Wollongong!
Our Store
We decided to open a big, clean, calm and spacious store with a personal one on one experience where women are treated with the memorable, exceptional customer service they deserve.
We opened a store where your body, background or budget have no baring on how well you are treated.
We introduced carefully selected styles in sizes 6-36 because the core of our culture is inclusion and diversity.
We have invested deeply in all body shapes and sizes because all women want the same thing on their wedding day - to look and feel beautiful.
We have sourced gowns in a variety of fabrications and price points so brides can find something that suits them visually and financially.
Our brides are listened to and made to feel seen and heard for exactly who they are and what their needs are.
We notice the little things and really try to "talk through" our gowns as you try it on so you can make the most informed and educated decision that works for you.
So many women walk in nervous and unsure and walk out excited and totally at ease - we will take care of you as if you were our family.

Our Community Involvement
We support as many local community events, fundraisers and school fetes as we possibly can including Share The Dignity, The Homeless Hub, The Nowra Show Young Woman Programme and Bravehearts.
In January 2023 our owner Kim agreed to take part in "Stars of Nowra" the major Cancer Council of NSW yearly fundraiser. Dedicating 12 weeks to raising money for local cancer patients whilst also learning a dance routine and running the shop full time we were super proud of her committment.
Raising $44,000 for the Cancer Council and taking out the Awards for Best Dance and the Community Spirit Award was a highlight of our year and an example of our dedication to uplifting our community.
