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!

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.

Found my Perfect Dress!

3 years ago we had found my sisters wedding dress here, and I knew it’s a place I had to go to look for mine! My experience was wonderful and the 2 volunteers who helped me find my dress were so sweet and patient. I tried on probably 10 dresses and finally found the one on the last dress. It was such a personal experience and they really worked hard to find my perfect dress. Not to mention the amazing mission of the boutique and the affordable pricing of both the dress and veil. I highly recommend looking for wedding dresses here. It’s a win win for everybody!

Memorable experience!

I had the most incredible experience at Bridal Boutique by New Name! From the moment I walked in, the volunteers were so warm, welcoming, and professional. Their kindness made me feel completely at ease and excited for the journey ahead. What really stood out to me was the mission statement of the organization—it’s empowering to know that shopping for such a special occasion could also support such a meaningful cause.

I came for the dresses, but I stayed because of the amazing selection and the personalized service. Carol was absolutely fantastic—she was thoughtful, patient, and so helpful in guiding me through dress selections and fittings. She really listened to my vision and helped me find the dress that made me feel beautiful and confident.

As a social worker, it meant a lot to me to be able to commemorate this pivotal part of my life with a dress that not only symbolized a new chapter but also supported social justice. I love that my wedding dress represents both my personal happiness and my commitment to making a difference. I can’t recommend Bridal Boutique by New Name enough—thank you for making this experience so special!
