"IT ALL STARTED WITH A DREAM..."
ABOUT ALWAYS KNEW
Always Knew I Needed came to be after years of sisters Abby & Lizzie seeing the luxury wedding gown space be unattainable for Brides & Nearlyweds who don't fit a specific mold.
Our team is so incredibly excited to offer Ottawa a wedding boutique was built on the foundation of size inclusivity and a focus on Canadian brands & designers
After years of loving our first brand, NKIN, our consignment off the rack sample shop, we were ready to open a made-to-order boutique to fit the needs of our Ottawa wedding community. A space where all sizes, gender expressions, & sexual orientation were not only welcomed, but consulted & front of mind through the opening process.
