7 Stores for Preowned Wedding Dresses In and Around Toronto
On the hunt for a fabulous preowned wedding dress? Here’s where you should be looking in and around Toronto.
If you’re a bride-to-be on a budget, consider going with a preowned wedding dress instead of a fancy new frock. Consignment bridal stores carry big designers at a fraction of the cost and, here’s the thing, they’ve only been worn once or twice, so they’re still in near perfect condition. Whether you’re in the market for something vintage or a more modern silhouette, you should be able to find it at one of these stores in and around Toronto.
Here’s where to get preowned wedding dresses in and around Toronto.
The Bride’s Project (431 Broadview Avenue)
The Bride’s Project is a consignment store with a mission. It donates every dollar it earns from wedding dress and accessory sales to cancer charities, so you can really feel good about the money you’re investing in your attire. Its selection, like every second hand store, is luck of the draw, but labels like Pronovias, Maggie Sottero, Sophia Tolli and Alfred Sung aren’t strangers to its racks.

The wedding dress selection at She’s So Beautiful is well worth the drive to Dundas!
