The Ultimate Bridal Experience
MaCherieBleue.com|450-818-8388
Offering exquisite style, little luxuries and personalized service for brides and
moments that matter is Ma Chérie Bleue: an unconventional bridal boutique
situated on the second floor loft of a charismatic Rosemère building. Since opening on the North shore of Montréal in the fall of 2015, the charming boutique has
become the go-to destination for brides searching for unforgettable wedding
dresses and unique accessories that reflect their personal style. Private access
to the shop, help from a professional stylist and products from sought-after
designers across Canada and the U.S. make Ma Chérie Bleue the one-stop shop
brides need when looking for a personalized and diversified experience.

“I am over the moon with excitement to have created this elegant and chic
bridal boutique for all brides. Shopping for a wedding dress is a once-in-alifetime experience and with so many gowns to choose from, I know it can also
be incredibly overwhelming,” says Phillips. “We’re driven by a love of brides
and a love of personal style and open our arms wide to brides who aren’t afraid
to be themselves. We guarantee you will not look like every other bride on
your wedding day wearing one of our gowns. If your vision is to be bohemian,
romantic, fashion-forward, modern or elegant chic, our tireless and passionate
stylists will work with you to create your dream wedding look.”

Among international designers, the boutique carries Canada’s very own Lea-Ann Belter,
Astrid & Mercedes and Laura Jayne. Gowns from Lea-Ann Belter are completely customizable and crafted to enhance the natural radiance of a bride with
options for all sizes. Designs from Astrid & Mercedes (a sub-brand of Lea-Ann
Belter named after her two adorable nieces) are carefree and fashion-forward,
carrying a distinctive blend of something old and something new. And Laura
Jayne accessories include style savvy veils, headpieces, sashes and jewellery
using a variety of fabrics and appliqués. After founder Nathalie Phillips was
inspired by a shopping experience she had during her honeymoon in Paris three
years ago, the idea of Ma Chérie Bleue came into being. Phillips paired her
19 years of creative fashion experience with a passion for fashion to create
the superior shopping experience Montréal brides have been looking for in an
intimate setting. Simply put, getting married introduced Phillips to the
wonderful world of bridal she never wants to leave.

Ma Chérie Bleue is open by appointment only to ensure the best service six days
a week (excluding Mondays and holidays). Its gowns are made to order from the
designer’s sample collection showcased at the boutique and currently range from
$1,750 to $5,000 (with most ranging between $2,200 and $3,200). For group
appointments, take advantage of the new LUX Private Space Rental which
includes customized parties, makeup and accessory style me pretty bachelorette parties, dress and veil dress-up parties and boudoir/wedding photo shoots.
