THE SHOP
At Velvet Bride, we believe finding your wedding dress should be as meaningful and memorable as the day you wear it. Located in the heart of Missoula, Montana, our woman-owned bridal boutique offers an intimate, welcoming space where every bride is treated to a truly personal experience.
Our carefully curated collection features gowns from boutique-style designers, chosen for their quality, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty. Whether you’re searching for a classic silhouette, a romantic boho gown, or a modern minimalist look, we’re here to help you find the dress that feels just right.
We’re proud to be part of the Missoula community and honored to support brides from across Montana and beyond. From your first fitting to your final choice, our goal is simple: to help you feel confident, beautiful, and completely yourself.
All gowns are made-to-order with a lead time of 4-6 months for most designers. If you are a bride on a short timeline, check out our selection of Sample Gowns, or schedule an appointment to see the full selection of gowns sold off-the-rack in person.
Appointments are required, as we want to give our undivided attention to each lovely bride. Plus, wedding dress shopping is more fun when you have the shop to yourself!
Book your private bridal appointment today and discover the dress you’ve been dreaming of.
THE EXPERIENCE
at Velvet Bride
All Bridal Appointments are private appointments, meaning you get the entire shop all to yourself with one-on-one attention from a knowledgeable stylist for one hour and 15 minutes.
How an appointment works:
You will try on what is called a Sample Dress (think floor model) and then we order a brand new dress in your size, so don't stress about the sizing while in the store.
Most dresses take about 4-6 months to ship into the store, at which point you will schedule a Pick-up Appointment to try your dress on and take it home with you!
We do not have alterations in-house, however there is a local seamstress we recommend all our brides to that we are happy to refer you to!
