New York City is home to some of the most well-known and sought-after wedding dress brands—from veteran designers like Monique Lhuillier and Pronovias to up-and-coming brands and everything in between. These flagship locations are the destination for those newly engaged looking for the ultimate wedding dress shopping experience. With this in mind, we’ve put together some of the top flagship locations that you must visit while searching for a gown in the Big Apple. 

Ready to dive in? Here are the top bridal flagship stores that New York City has to offer.

Grace Loves Lace

Tucked away in a quiet corner of SoHo, you’ll find Australian-made brand Grace Loves Lace’s flagship storefront. From the moment you enter, you are transported into a dream-like world of pearlescent, lacey gowns. The experience begins with a greeting from your personal stylist, and your choice of a glass of black rose tea, a crisp glass of bubbles—adorned with rose petals—or sparkling rose water. From there, stylists will assist you with finding the perfect gown that fits your bridal style. Along with Grace Loves Lace’s wedding dresses, the store also carries the brand’s ready-to-wear line, accessories (jewelry, shoes, veils), occasion wear, and flower girl dresses that are sustainably made from previously unused fabric.

Fashion house BERTA has its only USA flagship location in New York City. The showroom features BERTA dresses from past seasons, all available for off-the-rack purchase. The location also ships across the United States, so you can either choose to take a gown home with you on the spot or have it sent over later. To note, made-to-order BERTA wedding dresses are not available for purchase at this location. Berta.com

Pronovias

Sleek and modern is the best way to describe Pronovias’s NYC flagship location—set in the hustle and bustle of midtown. The store recently moved from its original location (just around the corner) to a new and innovative space where everyone can fully immerse themselves in their wedding dress shopping experience. As stated on the website, you can expect “a playground of headpieces, a gallery of veils, [and] a generous display of fashion-forward dresses." The flagship location also features a capsule collection of 10 unique dress designs labeled “The New York Exclusives,” which was created to celebrate the store’s new location. Pronovias.com
