Brides of Merivale

Stunning contemporary wedding gowns in Christchurch. Brides of Merivale was established in 1998 by Lisa Dermott. After working for many years in what was commonly a ‘Made to Measure’ bridal industry, Lisa wanted to bring designer Ready Made Gowns to New Zealand Brides. Brides of Merivale quickly established themselves as the South Island's “go-to’ bridal destination. Over 20 years on, they are still a #1 destination, a credit to their passion and longevity in the industry. Lisa’s reputation for excellent customer service, coupled with her ongoing passion within the Bridal industry, continues to see Brides of Merivale bring the latest bridal trends to today’s brides with gown prices starting at $2,250 (specials and sale items from $500). We believe a bride should truly enjoy their wedding gown experience. It should be stress-free and filled with excitement and joy in finding the “One” gown that makes you feel amazing’ says Lisa. Located in their private Boutique on Barrington St, they offer a ‘unique personal experience’ in a quiet setting tucked away from the hustle and bustle of busy shops. As an exclusive regional stockist for international brands including Made With Love, Kellylin Couture, Miss Chloe and Miss Scarlet, Brides of Merivale also offer an exclusive bespoke Made To Measure service and offer an alteration service to all brides who purchase a gown in store. "A typical consultation allows you to browse through our ranges, touch, feel and experience the gowns. Having a knowledgeable consultant who can make and/or alter your gown personally gives you peace of mind that you are getting the best service and advice. It's all about offering the total package," says Lisa. To complement their array of stunning gowns, veils, jewellery, headpieces, and fur jackets are all available in store. Lisa and her team extend a warm welcome for you to visit Brides of Merivale. To view and try on their extensive range of wedding gowns and accessories, call or email to book your private consultation.
