Pearl and Birch Wedding Consignments

I went for two wedding dress appointments at Pearl & Birch and both of them were wonderful experiences. The staff are lovely and strike a great balance between listening to what you want and helping you think outside the box. I also love their whole concept of a more sustainable and ethical bridal experience.

I had an absolute blast finding my dress at Pearl & Birch! Teagan was really sweet & helped me find the perfect dress for me. She really made the experience feel magical. Every dress I tried on was a possibility but the last dress I tried on was absolutely perfect. I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day. The store is clean, cute and cozy. There were dresses at multiple price points that I was okay with along with many accessories. The covid measures were a 10/10 and I felt comfortable the whole time. Thank you Teagan and Pearl & Birch, I am so happy to be a birch bride!

Purchased my veil, earrings, and dress hanger from PandB. Also had dress alterations done and rented a fur stole for outdoor pictures.
Will be taking my dress to consign and dry clean ASAP! Cheapest dry cleaning price I’ve seen, and the girls who work there are SO friendly! I’m going to miss spending time in this lovely shop!

After finding a dress that was outside of my budget that I fell in love with at another shop, I walked into Pearl and Birch later that day hoping to find something similar. What I got was infinitely better. I just told Amanda what I was looking for, and it was actually the first dress she showed me that I went with. And what a gorgeous place! Every visit, every fitting, every conversation was great. Amanda and the entire staff made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable and at ease. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for, which I appreciated immensely. Everything about the experience I had with Pearl and Birch was perfect.

I had already purchased my dress, but I was on the hunt for accessories. I knew Pearl and Birch would be a good option because I was able to bring my dress, and try on belts with it. The staff there are so helpful and amazing. I went twice before I decided on the perfect belt.

After I bought my dress elsewhere inwas horrified by the price of the veil I loved (450 dollars?!?!) Had seen pearl and birch on Instagram and went and checked it out.

Found my perfect veil for 100.

Store is small and a bit dingy but the dress selection had me wishing i had purchased mine there!! Some of the dresses even had hand written notes from their original brides...super cute and amazing selection for everything you need!

The one thing I knew I wanted for my wedding look was a birdcage veil, and I couldn't find anything quite right anywhere. I tried all the major wedding shops in Winnipeg, and didn't trust buying something online without trying it on first.

Pearl and Birch had exactly what I was looking for, and for a reasonable price. They didn't have a huge selection (apparently the vintage look is in hot demand), but what they had I was happy with.

Recommend checking them out for things a little out of the ordinary.

Aug 2020 I purchased a wedding dress from Pearl and Birch for $760. At the time I was told to hang it up, and I should plan to do my alterations about 3 months before the wedding. Around October I showed the dress to my aunt and she noticed some small spots of yellowing. I figured the spots would come out, and that could be taken care of around the time of my alterations. March 2021 I am reviewing my dress again in preparation for the alterations appointment, and I notice that the yellowing has gotten worse and is now across the entire front of the dress. I contacted Pearl and Birch and they asked me to bring in the dress for inspection. During my appointment with them I was informed that this had never happened before, and that the yellowing would most likely not be reversible. I was offered a $75 store credit in exchange for the $760 yellowing dress, which could be applied to a $150 dry cleaning fee. I was also offered a dress at cost- meaning I would only pay the portion owed to the consignor. Unfortunately, I did not find any dress in a suitable size and style at Pearl and Birch.
A few things I think are an important take away from this experience: 1. not all dresses are dry cleaned by Pearl and Birch, some may be cleaned by the consignor 2: certain types of fabric on wedding dresses can yellow even if they are stored properly 3. once you purchase a dress from Pearl and Birch all of the liability is on you

I had the best experience buying my dress and accessories from these ladies. They’re wonderful and I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Teagan helped me find my dream wedding dress today! The whole experience was amazing and so much fun! She was so patient and figured out exactly what it was I was looking for! I thought it would be hard to find my dress but she helped my find it on the first time trying on dresses!
