Sinders Bridal House
Designer bridal boutique in Ottawa and Peterborough with curated wedding dresses, alterations, and personalized styling appointments.
About
Sinders Bridal House is a family-run bridal boutique with two locations: the flagship in Carleton Place just outside Ottawa, and a second boutique in Peterborough. Run by sisters Stacey and Meghan, they've built the business around a core philosophy that every bride deserves to feel celebrated and empowered when finding her wedding dress.
The boutique carries a curated collection of designer gowns including Eva Lendel, Wona Concept, Calla Blanche, Essense of Australia, Pronovias, and several others. Gowns range from around $2,000 to $8,000, with most falling between $2,500 and $3,500. All appointments are by booking only, and the team uses pre-appointment conversations to prepare a personalized selection before you arrive. You can browse, pull gowns yourself, and try on with support from experienced stylists. The two-hour appointment slots give you plenty of time without feeling rushed.
Sinders also offers in-house alterations through a master seamstress (at the Carleton Place location), bridal accessories including veils and locally-made pieces, and day-of wedding services to ensure you're set for the big moment. Samples are available off-the-rack if you'd like to take your dress home same-day. They welcome customizations and work with designers who support made-to-order changes.
FAQs
What's the timeline for ordering a wedding dress from Sinders?
You should ideally order 9-12 months before your wedding. This allows 6-9 months for designer ordering and three months for alterations. If you have a shorter timeline, ask about rush options or samples off the floor, though these may have additional fees.
Do I need an appointment to visit?
Yes, all visits are by appointment only. Before you come in, the team calls to learn about your vision and preferences so they can have gowns ready for you. This ensures a personalized experience tailored to what you're looking for.
What should I expect during my appointment?
Your two-hour appointment includes time to browse and pull gowns yourself, then try them on with support from your stylist. The team narrows down your selections based on what you describe and how you react to each dress until you find the one.
