About

Bridal Boutique by New Name is a nonprofit organization that sells gently used and new wedding dresses and accessories to generate funds to benefit trafficked and sexually exploited women in the Chicagoland area. As many as 25,000 women and girls are trafficked and sexually exploited in this area every year. Since all items are donated and we are fully volunteer run, 100% of the proceeds go directly to benefit these girls. We have an amazing group of volunteers who are very knowledgeable in helping brides find and say yes to the dress. We have many dresses in a variety of sizes and styles. We continue to have very generous and caring brides who donate their dresses and those who purchase dresses from us to support our cause. It’s beautiful to see women helping women. This is a wonderful way to join in helping stop trafficking. If you know of a recent bride who doesn’t want her dress to sit in a closet for years only to then be discarded or of a bride needing to find their perfect wedding dress, we would love to help them. New Name Bridal Boutique invites you to stand with us and show love to these hurting women!

Best Place for Affordable Dresses

I loved this boutique. I would 100% recommend it for anyone. I love their mission and their quality of dresses. You cannot beat these prices. I was trying on dresses from my favorite designers for 50% the retail price. And a majority were in excellent quality. They also had snacks and water and comfy seating dor guests. Wonderful!

Bridal Fitting

This place truly is a gem! The workers were so kind and fun to be around. They made me feel extremely comfortable and provided words of wisdom, kindness, and encouragement. You can tell they do what they do because they love it and love getting to support a greater cause. Margo helped me with my fitting and she was amazing! She talked me through everything, was hilarious, intentional, and lovely to be around. This place is a must see if you are wedding dress shopping. Amazing prices, great customer service, beautiful dresses, all for an amazing cause!

Amazing Experience!

It was such a wonderful experience buying my dress at New Name! It was all so lovely, it’s hard to know where to begin. The shop atmosphere was charming and quaint with a wide selection of sizes and styles at very affordable prices. The volunteers were extremely welcoming and friendly and made the whole experience laid-back and fun! It felt so good buying my dress there, knowing it was environmentally friendly (since all dresses are used) and all the proceeds go to charity! I keep recommending this place to all my friends. I couldn’t have imagined buying my dress anywhere else!

A Wedding Dress Shopping Experience That Truly Changes Lives

From the moment I walked into Bridal Boutique by New Name, I knew it was going to be a special experience. The boutique itself is absolutely beautiful, and before I even started trying on gowns, I noticed a personalized welcome sign with my name on it — such a thoughtful touch that immediately made me feel celebrated.

What makes this boutique truly unique is its mission: it’s 100% volunteer-run, and every dollar of profit goes directly to support New Name, a nonprofit helping victims of sex trafficking and exploitation. Supporting a cause so meaningful while shopping for my wedding dress meant the world to me.

The volunteers who helped me were phenomenal — kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about both the mission and helping brides find their dream gowns. They explained how everything worked and guided me through an amazing selection of stunning dresses. I must have tried on more than ten gowns, and honestly, I felt beautiful in every single one. Narrowing it down was so hard!

In the end, I couldn’t choose just one — I found two wedding gowns I absolutely adore (one for my ceremony and one for my reception), plus a beautiful dress for my rehearsal dinner, a gorgeous veil, and a sparkling belt that perfectly completes my look. And the best part? All five pieces were still under my original budget for one dress!

The entire experience felt magical — my friends and I laughed, took photos, and soaked in every moment. I left feeling like a princess and so grateful to have supported such an incredible cause in the process.

I’ve been telling everyone I know about Bridal Boutique by New Name, and I hope every bride takes the time to visit. Not only will you find breathtaking gowns at amazing prices, but you’ll also be making a difference in the lives of women who need it most. Truly the best bridal shopping experience I could have imagined.
