She went through undergrad and graduate school at Washington State University Spokane while working at a fabulous local designer gown shop, where the love for gowns and bridal began. She is still a practicing speech therapist who realized that this life is not a dress rehearsal (kinda corny, but true) and decided to just go for it and open her own dream shop.
She is all about expanding and supporting the booming wedding industry in Spokane and helping beautiful brides find a gown that is anything but ordinary.
MEET THE SHOP
Our shop is on E Sprague near downtown Spokane.
The shop is a converted warehouse, with an industrial feel in contrast to the beautiful soft lace, tulle, and chiffon of bridal. We don't subscribe to the pushy and gimmicky sales tactics. Our stylists create an intimate shopping experience that is low pressure and the highest quality. Does anything sound better?

Dearly Consignment Bridal Shop
Our new consignment shop is in a loft right upstairs. Dearly is perfect for the bride with a tight timeline or a tighter budget. These wedding dresses are a mix of brides’ consigned wedding dresses and Honest in Ivory ready to wear gowns. All are in “like-new” condition. Our brides can shop both stores at one Honest in Ivory appointment.
Our appointment times can book up a few weeks in advance, so make sure to plan ahead! We recommend purchasing a gown 10-12 months ahead of your wedding.
Standard production times range from 3-6 months depending on the designer, and the seamstresses we recommend require a minimum of 3 months for a standard alterations timeline. Giving yourself a minimum of 10 months ensures you can shop the whole store without worrying about extra fees from any of the designers or from your seamstress. If you have less time, do not worry! Many of our designers have rush production options, and we also have our off-the-rack only sister store that you can shop as well.
We do things a little differently around here, prioritizing a personalized experience above all else. Our shop is by appointment only, and we are unable to offer same-day appointments. All of our booking is done online through our website so that you can fill out a survey to help your stylist prepare for you.
& we are a very small team, so at this time we cannot accommodate brides coming in to look around. But, the vast majority of our gowns are able to be viewed in the “Dresses” section of our website, and we are very active on social media as well!
We do have a $50 cancellation fee if you cancel within 48 hours of your scheduled appointment. Please note that booking fees are non-refundable!
An open mind, nude undergarments that you feel great in, and any pictures of style inspiriation for your bridal look. Oh, and the four people whose opinion you value most, unless you prefer shopping alone!
If you choose to pay with a credit or debit card, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, Discover, and American Express. With these payment methods you will incur a 3% service fee. You can forgo these fees by paying with cash or check. However, check payment is not an option for off-the-rack gowns, or any other items that you would take home same-day. We do not offer a payment plan option for an additional fee. Please note that all sales are final.
Yes! We have a parking lot in front of the shop. On Fridays and Saturdays, our parking lot tends to fill up, but street parking along Sprague is also free!
Our gown inventory ranges from $1500-$6000, with the majority of the gowns ranging from $2,000-$3,000. Veil prices range from $125-$800, and jewelry prices range from $45-$250.
We strive to carry sample sizes that will work for most brides, but samples rarely fit perfectly. We have our own arsenal of tricks and tools to help provide an idea of how each dress will look in your size. We have sample gowns ranging from 8-26, with the majority ranging from 8-14. We currently have 75+ sample gowns in size 18 and above.
Our Standard and Mini Party appointments are 90 minutes long. This allows time for you to try on a variety of styles from our curated selection of gowns, say yes, and take some yes photos with your group! Need more time? Check out our VIP appointment where you can rent out our whole shop for you + 8 guests for 2 hours.
Our Standard appointment is 90 minutes long and allows for up to four guests to join in on the fun. Our Mini Party appointment is also 90 minutes, but allows up to 6 guests, and we will provide your group with macarons from Mi Flavour. Our VIP appointment is only available to book for Fridays at 4pm, you and up to 8 guests get the whole shop to yourselves and the appointment is 2 hours long. No matter what appointment you book, you will get the undivided attention of a stylist to help you create your dreamy bridal look.
