There is something timeless and elegant about bridal fashion. It evokes a sense of nostalgia—transporting us to a simpler time, a contrast to today’s fast-paced world. Whether it’s a vintage-inspired gown or a sleek modern silhouette, bridal fashion awakens a deep joy and captures the magic every bride dreams of on her special day.

That passion inspired me to open SixPence & Sage, an intimate bridal and dress boutique in the charming town of Waterford, Ontario. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth and care. There's no pressure—just honest guidance, heartfelt service, and a carefully curated selection of bridal gowns, dresses, and accessories. My goal is simple: to help women feel confident, radiant, and truly seen.

Now, I’m thrilled to share that SixPence & Sage has expanded to a second location in Tillsonburg, Ontario. This new boutique allows us to welcome even more brides into the relaxed, uplifting experience we’re known for. Whether you visit us in Waterford or Tillsonburg, the mission remains the same: to celebrate who you are and help you find a dress that reflects your spirit.

Before I pursued this dream, I spent 20 years serving as a frontline paramedic—a career that shaped me profoundly. Like many in healthcare, I faced the toll of sanctuary trauma and complex PTSD. In the midst of healing, I opened this boutique during the challenges of a global pandemic. It became more than a business—it became a safe, creative space where I could rediscover joy, purpose, and connection.

Today, SixPence & Sage continues to grow, fueled by the smiles of brides, the sparkle of confidence when they see themselves in the mirror, and the countless meaningful relationships built along the way.

Life is beautiful—dress for it.
