More dress for less money. If that isn’t a phrase to fall in love with. In Calgary, it’s not that easy to find consignment wedding dresses. Sure you can look at online classifieds, but – it’s not ideal. Emailing strangers, going to their homes or meeting in parking lots to look at a wedding gown in someone’s trunk – not exactly the wedding dress shopping experience you’ve dreamed of.

Enter the amazing women at Wishahmon Glorious Gown, Calgary’s consignment wedding dress boutique. Carrying exclusively wedding gowns (so no bridesmaids dresses or formal wear), their gowns are brand new with tags, brand new, sample gowns or once loved gowns. These gowns have been marked down by 25 – 50% off their retail value. While Wishahmon only carries up to 100 consignment wedding gowns at a time, when their wedding dress cups starts to run over, that means it’s sale time. Twice a year, the ladies clear our their inventory, and you get an additional 10 – 25% off the already awesome consignment wedding gown prices.

So why buy used? Like we mentioned earlier, you get more dress for less money. Wishahmon carries high-quality consignment gowns by designers like Vera Wang, Pronovais Manual Moto, Kenneth Pool, Alfred Sung, Alfred Angelo, Maggie Sottero, and Monique Lhuiller. So even if you have a tighter dress budget, you can get that amazing designer gown.

Consignment gowns are also a great option if time is of the essence because you can walk right out of the salon with your dress. When you order a new gown, it can take six to eight months to arrive, meaning you need a big window of time to find, order and have your gown adjusted by a seamstress. When you buy a once-loved gown, it’s yours that day. You leave with that gown in your arms, no stressing out and frantically tracking shipments. Bonus reason? It’s very environmentally friendly.So let’s say you’re a bride who is interested in consigning her gown – how do you go about it? First step is to email to weddings@wishahmon.com with the details of the gown and a picture.
