The Favorite Bridal Shop

About
DOWN THE AISLE
Down the Aisle is a new bridal boutique serving central Illinois brides. We are located in our owner Rachel’s hometown of Dunlap, Illinois–just five minutes north of the Grand Prairie Mall in Peoria.
Fairy Tale
BEGINNINGS
In October of 2021, Rachel purchased the building that formerly housed Her Majesty’s Tea Room in Dunlap, Illinois. Interior construction began immediately after purchase. Her vision was clear: unlike other gray-washed, basic bridal shops, Down the Aisle would be personable, posh, full of couture charm, and a warm, intimate setting for future brides and their entourages.
And so, it was.
Unparalled
SERVICE
What to Expect at Your Bridal Appointment
At Down the Aisle, your shopping experience is individualized. This means that while you are our guest, you are the only client your stylist is focused on. We take the time to listen to your vision; then, we put together a curated collection of gowns for you to try based on the design elements that suit your style preferences.
Additionally, while our bridal stylists help you in and out of our stunning sample gowns, your entourage is tended by the owner, Rachel, who sees that they are well taken care of and comfortable, with all questions answered.
In our shop, it is effortless to say, “Yes!” to the perfect wedding dress!

In addition to bridal gowns, we also specialize in styling Mothers of the Bride and Groom! We carry top designers for wedding matriarchs–Adrianna Pappell Platinum Evenings, Christina Wu Elegance, Montage by Mon Cheri, Cameron Blake, and introducing MGNY by Morilee.
