Church Street Bridal
CHANGING LIVES ONE DRESS AT A TIME!
Our bridal shop is appointment only, but our formal and mother-of-the-bride/groom section can be visited any time!
Stop by YWCA of Central Virginia’s fundraising bridal boutique — Church Street Bridal! Funds raised through the Bridal shop go directly to supporting the mission and programs of YWCA of Central Virginia including our Domestic Violence Prevention Program, Sexual Assault Response Program, Town Center Housing Program, and our work in Racial Justice and Social Equity.
SHOP WITH US
Church Street Bridal is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10-4 pm
YWCA of Central Virginia established Church Street Bridal Shop in 2004. It was our goal to find a way to raise funds for the programs offered for women and children, as well as provide a service to the community. By marrying the two ideas together, Church Street Bridal was formed, offering designer wedding gowns at off-the-rack prices.
Because CSB partners with dozens of bridal salons around the country, we receive gowns by many different designers with different styles, so no matter what you’re envisioning for your wedding day, you’ll have a great selection!
The gowns in the shop are NEW samples! They have never been worn other than being tried on or used as a floor sample. For $300 – $900 you can purchase that perfect gown for a deeply discounted price.
We also carry mother of the bride and bridesmaid gowns, and prom gowns seasonally!
DONORS
We would like to thank our amazing donors for supporting our mission! Individual designers and full-service salons from all over the country donate sample gowns to Church Street Bridal, benefiting women and children in crisis. Our brides and our YWCA programs benefit immensely from their incredible generosity!
