Retail space specializing in wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and other clothing for weddings.
A bridalwear store is a shop specializing in the sale or rental of bridal gowns, wedding dresses, bridesmaid clothes, and accessories suitable for persons getting married or belonging to the core of a wedding party. Some such stores may carry male clothing for grooms as well.
The clothing is selected for people getting married and the core wedding party. Sale and rental are both included, and some stores also carry clothing for grooms.
Formalwear stores serve highly formal occasions more generally. Bridalwear is distinguished by its wedding focus, so it is not limited to dresses for the bride alone.
