Tilted Veil East

3132 Isleville Street, Halifax, NS

Tilted Veil East opened its doors July 31, 2021. Hollie, the owner, is originally from Cape Breton and has been living in Halifax for the last 23 years. Hollie was working in Human Resources for 16 years, and decided it was time to start a new chapter in her life. Hollie’s twin sister, Heather, owns Tilted Veil in Guelph, Ontario. She asked Hollie to go into business with her and the rest is history!

The boutique is located in the Hydrostone on the corner of Isleville Street and Hennessy Street – very accessible, lots of street parking nearby, and walking distance from some food & drink spots to enjoy after saying yes to the dress. At Tilted Veil East, you’ll experience private one-on-one bridal appointments. The designers they carry are exclusive to their boutique so you won’t find them elsewhere in the Maritimes. Many of the designers Hollie has brought in are highly requested by brides!

Chester & Felicity

The Doyle Building, 5431 Spring Garden Rd, Halifax, NS

Chester & Felicity opened its doors in 2012 as a marriage of two long-standing bridal boutiques in Halifax. Together, they hoped to offer brides exclusive styles and a chic bridal experience.

The shop’s general manager, Erin, shared this piece of advice to future brides:

“Who you bring with you is very important to think about. You need to bring those who are supportive and positive, people who are there for you. They need to remember it’s the bride’s day and it’s about her style and vibe – not their personal style!”

As soon as you walk in to Chester & Felicity, you’ll see so many beautiful dresses at every turn. There are so many options to choose from, with every style, shape, and size imaginable. Chester & Felicity has 3 gorgeous fitting rooms and plenty of seating for your entourage to wait for you to be revealed in your dream dress!

Right next to Chester & Felicity in the Doyle Building, you’ll find Alter Ego Tailoring, where you can get your alterations done by Daniel, who does the alterations for many Chester & Felicity brides.

“We offer all of our brides a positive, unique experience. We love providing a stress-free atmosphere for our brides to feel like themselves when finding their perfect gown.”

— Erin | General Manager of Chester & Felicity

Reverie Bridal Outlet

49 Kings Wharf Place, Unit 101, Dartmouth, NS

Reverie Bridal Outlet opened its doors in November 2023, born out of a desire to fill a gap in Halifax’s bridal market. Not every bride has a $2,000+ budget or the timeline to order a custom gown — and Reverie exists to change that. Boutique Manager Emma Coughlin and her team are on a mission to offer incredible deals on brand new designer dresses without compromising the bridal shopping experience. With a strong commitment to being both size-inclusive and price-inclusive, Reverie believes that every bride deserves the dress of their dreams.

What truly sets Reverie apart is that it’s the only off-the-rack bridal boutique in HRM. Every gown is brand new and unaltered, available to take home the same day you say yes — at up to 80% off retail prices. No imagining what a gown might look like once it arrives; the dress you try on is the exact one you take home!
