Me… extra? Maybe a little 🤭

But if you want a dress that’s going to turn heads, you need to shop at Always Knew I Needed.

The best part? We can take a gown you already love and make it even MORE dramatic. More sleeves, more train, more volume, more detail… you name it.

When you work with designers who love customization, the possibilities are basically endless ✨

I finally found a reason to take a look from day to night… who would’ve thought it would be a wedding dress that doesn’t exist?

From religious ceremony to a sexy reception reveal… it’s perfect. Also yes, I’m an official reverend who can marry people… and apparently also someone who shows her granny panties on the internet

These separates are all by the customization queens. Any of their dresses carried at Always are fully customizable

At Always, brides are welcome to bring whoever makes them feel most comfortable for their appointment, and yes, that absolutely includes your baby or your mini bestie.

We love seeing moms share this moment with their little ones, in whatever way feels right for them.

Our space is designed to feel welcoming and inclusive for all brides, especially our moms so we’ve got all the essentials to make your shopping trip easy, comfortable, and actually enjoyable from start to finish.

When I’m filming alone, it can be tricky to fit into every dress, because shockingly, not every sample fits perfectly in our videos.

Sometimes they’re too small and won’t zip up. Sometimes they’re too big and I’m clipped in.

BOTH ARE NORMAL.

We keep all our samples at Always in a straight size (8–12) and a plus size (18–24) so everyone has the chance to try on each dress. Then we'll order yours in your perfect size, because our designers literally have no end to their size charts.

If you’re not sure whether you want to wear a veil… this is your sign to at least try one on

Have you considered this:
1. It’s iconic
2. When else are you going to get the chance to wear a veil?
3. Accessorizing is fun
4. Everyone will cry when they see you in a veil

Even brides who swear they don’t want a veil are usually surprised when they try one on and instantly see the whole vision come together.

And if you still decide it’s not for you, that’s totally okay too, but we always recommend trying one during your appointment.

We have tons of veils in store, and for a limited number of brides, we also offer custom design-your-own veils.

From June 4–8, we’re hosting an exclusive trunk show featuring the brand new 2027 Alluvia Collection by OUMA.

The collection is inspired by the layered beauty of Danxia landscapes, blending softness, texture, movement, and sculptural design into gowns that feel equal parts effortless and unforgettable.

If your style leans modern, fashion-forward, and anything but traditional… you need to see these dresses in person.

A few important things to know:
✨ Appointments are extremely limited
✨ Each bride gets a completely private bridal suite
✨ We can only accommodate 2 brides at a time
✨ Trunk show samples will be size 6

Ottawa brides, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book your appointment, this is it 👀

When we say we have two of the same dress, what we actually mean is we have two samples of every single gown. One in a straight size (8-12) and one in a plus size (18-24).

But we also like to have a little fun when we order, because we love showing you as many customizable options as possible.

Abby is wearing Briar in our size 12 sample a “magic” blend of blush and soft grey tones.
Olivia is wearing Briar in our size 22 sample, a classic silk white version.

Which Briar do you prefer?

Dresses I’d pick for the romantasy bride

Lauren especially with the bow sleeves 🤍
Gia she is made for your forest fairycore wedding
Klein a lightweight A-line with a basque waist that feels effortless and SO dreamy

These are the kind of dresses that make you want to run barefoot through the woods and frolic in the moss 🤭

If this is vibe you have to book your appointment at Always and come try them on

I cannot believe the ARTISTRY behind these wedding dress gowns. The queen that is, she gave us a huge range of sizes for this trunk show and we are enamoured with everything she has to offer

05/25/2026

I run 2 bridal boutiques…which is exactly why I can’t pick ONE wedding dress.

There are too many gowns I’m obsessed with at this point.

If you’re a bride who wants customization options, this is your sign to come try on at Always 🤍
