Where to Buy Your Dress in Turkey

You can get wedding dresses anywhere in Turkey. Each city has a bazaar and shops next to each other with hundreds of dresses available for future brides. But in Turkey, it’s recommended to buy your dress in larger cities, as the quality of material they have is much better due to the their easy access to the fabric market. Smaller shops in small cities don’t have the opportunity to get high quality fabric as in big cities and tend to buy cheaper Chinese fabrics. 

Here are 3 larger cities where you can shop for wedding dresses in Turkey:

In Antalya: Antalya also has a large number of shops in the Gençlik neighborhood. The shops provide very classy options and are accustomed to foreign brides. The prices are more affordable in Antalya than in the 2 other cities, but you will need to visit serval shops because they are smaller and each has a different style.Introducing Block Patterns

In Istanbul: Istanbul is a temple for shops selling wedding dresses. The main places to shop are Nişantaşı and the streets of Fevzipaşa in the Fatih district. Nişantaşı has many very high end shops and the shop owners are accustomed to foreign brides, specially arabic ones. This is why you will see the models in the displays are very imposing, sometime even “too much”.

In Izmir: Izmir is the main place where wedding dress makers are based in Turkey. There are hundreds of shops who have many years of experience in the field and who are used to working with local as well as foreign customers. You can find all the shops concentrated in the Çankaya neighborhood. The market is quite competitive, so shop owners are very well trained to attract and please customers. You might want to visit several shops before deciding on the best dress shop to pick.

Sandra was a fantastic officiant. She made the process simple and stress free from start to finish. The ceremony was heartfelt, authentic, and warm. For a few moments it felt like it was only the three of us standing up there, even though more than 80 of our closest friends and family were watching. So many of our guests came up to us during the evening to say how much they had enjoyed the ceremony. Jill and Adam, May 2024
