TIPS FOR ALL MY CURVY BRIDES 🩷

1. Research boutiques ahead of time to see if they carry plus-size samples (we do). Don't want to call them? That's okay! Stalk their socials, do you see Brides who look like you? What does their website say about sample sizing?

3. Bring people who make you feel supported and confident

4. Have fun and remember, you do not need to change anything about yourself to find your dream dress

5. We, your stylist, know all things wedding gowns but you are the expert on you. Let's work together to find something you feel drop dead gorgeous in

Constantly learning and growing of how we can best support plus size and curvy brides in Ottawa. Tip inspiration from

“Can I change the sleeves of my dress?”
Yes.

“What if I want a different neckline?”
Also yes.

“Can I take the top from one dress and the skirt from another?”
Absolutely.

At Always, when we say custom, we mean it. No two brides are the same, so why should your dress be?

The best part? Most customizations are just a little extra on top of the base price for a one-of-a-kind gown, made and designed right here in Canada. 🇨🇦

A dress no one else has, made just for you?
Yeah… it really doesn’t get better than this. ✨

things i wish i did for my wedding

✨ designed a custom veil to match my dress
✨ wore a dramatic second dress instead of prioritizing comfort
✨ added a hidden corset for a snatched waist + extra support

and the last one: hired a wedding day content creator. Not having one is literally what pushed me to start doing it myself over at

Save this so you can steal my ideas and have zero regrets

Meet Lauren

Lizzie is wearing size 12 with bows, Olivia is in size 24 with the off the shoulder sleeves! And both are proving that Lauren might just be the 2026 gown of the year.

Why? Because she’s so customizable.
✨ Want her sleek and simple with that soft cat-eye neckline? Done.
✨ Feeling bows, pleated drapes, or off-the-shoulder vibes? She does all of it.

And yes at Always we’ve got all the variations ready for you to try on in-store.

You CAN absolutely dance all night in your wedding dress.

Of course, we love a second look moment, but if you want to wear the same gown from aisle to dance floor, we’ve got you.

At Always, you can explore the racks, feel the fabrics, and truly experience how each gown moves. Take the Roselyn: she has a structured bodice for support and shape, while the skirt is made from lightweight, flowy organza so you can dance ALL NIGHT LONG!!

The Hazel gown is everything to me. Honestly, she’s the dress I wish I had when I got married. The ruffles. The sleeves. The drama. Every single detail is perfection.

And these photos from our styled shoot?!
UNREAL. We’re completely obsessed.

Maybe I’m too chronically online, but brides you don’t need to do as much research as you think.

This is likely your first time getting married, and there are people (hi, me) who’ve made a whole career out of finding your dress. You don’t need to know every fabric, designer, or silhouette… that’s literally my job.

If you’re looking for a Canadian-made, inclusive shopping experience at Ottawa’s cutest pink boutique...book your appointment and come see me. It’s that simple

The dresses that are seriously slept on at Always

Hazel: I mean… come on. With or without the sleeves, she’s a total showstopper.

Roselyn: I love an organza moment, and I swear more brides would too if they just tried her on.

Elise: stunning, soft, and so delicate with that floral tulle. She’s a quiet standout.

Did any of these beauties catch your eye? Which one are you adding to your try-on list?

like a prayer, she’s arrived 🖤 DESIGNED AND MADE IN KINGSTON, ONTARIO is bringing love to the alternative bride with these black wedding gowns

While they are also available in ivory, we couldn’t stop staring at the rich black fabric. AND wait for it… you can add CUSTOM IMAGERY ON TO THE GOWN. Wild right?

Can we give a round of applause for black wedding dresses that are not prom-y?

Not just a fitting room... a private space for you and your closet! We literally built it from the ground up just for our Always Brides.

After years running our sister boutique, we learned that privacy, space, and comfort MATTER a lot. So we designed every inch of Always with you in mind. And we came up with 2 huge private change rooms that hold 6 guests!

We're Ottawa’s newest bridal boutique and we'd like to think we're the funnest too

Can't wait to meet you

These photos are unreal😍

This is Constance, photographed in our size 12 sample. We also carry a size 20 sample with a fully lined bodice and a closed neckline so brides can see different customization options in person.

Constance is a stencil lace basque waist gown featuring a corset bodice, deep plunge neckline, button closure, and the most beautiful lace edge detailing throughout the skirt.

And like all La Pearle by Katrina Tuttle gowns, she comes with extensive customization options. Book your appointment at Always to try on Constance and explore all the ways you can make her your own.
