Meet the owner,
Rachel Joy Dales
Rachel’s interest in the wedding industry sparked at an early age, purchasing wedding magazines at any chance she got to bring them home and carefully insert notes about the dress, its suitability with different wedding styles, and which of her friends would shine in each dress. This developed into a passion that led Rachel to begin designing wedding dresses, thoughtfully researching local wedding venues and vendors and staying on-top of industry trends.
“The wedding industry is where I’ve belonged all along. I am so excited to be opening my own boutique in Bowmanville, carrying a modern, stylish collection that’s sure to dazzle and inspire. I am thrilled to be sharing my passion with brides and helping them find their ultimate dream dress in a comfortable, empowering setting, supported by a small team of experienced stylists.”
