Welcome to Lovebirds!

Lovebirds is a second-hand bridal boutique specialising in pre-loved wedding dresses and accessories, located in Kamppi, central Helsinki. We offer a wide and constantly changing selection of beautiful wedding dresses in different styles, sizes and price ranges.

We believe that beautiful wedding dresses deserve to be worn more than once!

Buying a wedding dress

All our wedding dresses are professionally cleaned and inspected before being put up for sale. As the dresses are pre-loved, some may have minor signs of wear, which we aim to reflect in their prices.

Our collection is constantly changing, with new dresses arriving almost daily. All dresses are available to purchase directly from our boutique, so you can take your chosen dress home with you on the same day!

You can browse our current collection on our Wedding Dresses page.

Fitting appointments

You’re warmly welcome to come and try on wedding dresses at Lovebirds! All our fitting appointments are free of charge.

We recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure you have time to try on dresses. You can choose between a 30-minute or a 60-minute appointment.

30-minute appointment: Half an hour goes by surprisingly quickly, and you’ll usually have time to try on around 2–3 dresses. We therefore recommend browsing our collection beforehand and having an idea of which dresses you’d like to try.

60-minute appointment: An hour gives you more time to explore our collection and try on different styles. Don’t worry if you’re not yet sure what you’re looking for. Our sales assistant will be happy to help you explore different options and discover your preferences. We particularly recommend this appointment for your first wedding dress fitting.

If you only wish to try on accessories, you can book a shorter 15-minute appointment.

Our fittings are assisted by a member of staff. There may be two brides attending appointments at the same time, in which case our sales assistant will help both in turn.

You’re welcome to bring guests along! However, as our boutique has limited space, we kindly ask that you bring no more than four guests. For the same reason, unfortunately, drinks cannot be consumed during fittings.

There’s no need for any special preparation before your appointment. You’re welcome to try on dresses without a bra, and there’s no need to purchase special underwear beforehand.

If you’ve already chosen your wedding shoes or accessories, such as a veil, feel free to bring them along. We also have a selection of shoes and accessories available to try on.

Selling your wedding dress

At Lovebirds, we sell pre-loved wedding dresses on consignment on behalf of our customers. We take care of marketing, fittings and the sale itself, so you don’t have to arrange everything yourself.

We carefully select the dresses we accept to maintain a high-quality and up-to-date collection.

To be considered for sale, your dress should meet the following requirements:

  • The dress must be in good condition and free from damage.
  • The dress must be clean before being offered for sale. Alternatively, we can arrange cleaning through our own service.
  • The dress design must be no more than five years old.

How does selling work?

Start by completing our selling form and attaching clear photographs of your dress. We’ll review the information and contact you by email. Please wait for our confirmation before bringing or sending your dress to us.

The selling fee is €30 per dress. Once your dress is sold, we charge a 30% commission on the final selling price, meaning you receive 70%.

The selling period is eight weeks, starting from the day your dress is put on display in our boutique. If your dress hasn’t sold during this time, please contact us by email to discuss the available options.

We generally recommend pricing pre-loved wedding dresses at around 50–70% of their original purchase price. The final price depends on factors such as the condition, style, age and demand for the dress.

Please note: We are currently experiencing a high volume of submitted forms and longer cleaning times than usual, so our response times may be slower. Thank you for your patience!

If you haven’t received a reply within a month, please contact us by email. Unfortunately, occasional technical issues mean that some forms may not reach us.

Wedding dress cleaning

At the moment, our cleaning service is only available for wedding dresses that will remain with us for sale afterwards.

Basic cleaning for dresses staying on consignment starts at €135, including the €30 selling fee. Additional charges may apply depending on the material, details and cleaning requirements of the dress.

Unfortunately, we do not accept silk dresses for cleaning.
