Venustas Bridal Salon + Atelier provides Lethbridge area bridal gowns, custom gown design and alterations from its appointment-only studio in Magrath, Alberta. The official website lists ready-to-wear wedding dresses, custom couture gowns, bridal accessories, tailoring and formal-wear services. Couples can book a time to try on retail gowns or arrange a consultation for a custom project.

The studio is located at 32 South 1st West, Magrath, Alberta T0K 1J0. Venustas describes the location as 20 minutes south of Lethbridge, making it a practical option for couples willing to travel outside the city for gown shopping, custom work or fitting services. This profile was last reviewed on October 6, 2026, using the business's official website.

Services and specialization

Venustas lists retail bridal gowns for brides seeking a ready-to-wear wedding dress, with the website describing a range intended to accommodate different bridal needs, sizes and modesty requirements. The site also invites clients to book an appointment to try on the current retail inventory.

For a more individual design, the business offers semi-custom and fully custom bridal gowns. Its description of semi-custom work includes modifying gowns in the shop, such as changing necklines or bodice styles, adding or removing sleeves, lace, sparkle or layers, and combining elements from different gowns. The website says alterations are completed in-house.

The fully custom service is described as a gown made from pattern to hem, with the design developed with the client. Custom veils are also listed as available and made to order. Additional listed services include alterations and tailoring, menswear and suits, formal wear, and appointments for shoes, veils, jewellery and other accessories.

Service area and who it may suit

Venustas is based in Magrath and presents its services to the Lethbridge area. The official website describes the studio as 20 minutes south of Lethbridge and also references clients travelling from farther away for custom work. The evidence supplied for this profile does not establish a complete delivery, shipping or travel-service area, so couples should contact the business before assuming that off-site appointments or shipping are available.

The business may suit someone looking for a retail gown with professional alterations, a bride interested in a semi-custom adaptation, or a client seeking a fully custom gown. It may also be relevant to wedding parties needing tailoring, suit work, formal wear or accessories. Because the studio is open by appointment only, it is better suited to couples prepared to schedule before visiting rather than relying on walk-in shopping.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented feature of Venustas is that several gown and tailoring services are handled in-house. The official site specifically describes in-house alterations and custom gown work, which can allow a couple to discuss design and fit with the same business. The website also identifies Michelle Dick as the owner and designer and states that she has over 30 years of experience; this is an operator statement from the official contact page, not an independently verified award or credential.

The main practical limitations in the available evidence are informational. The supplied pages do not publish a complete gown inventory, standard turnaround times, alteration timelines, appointment duration or detailed terms for custom commissions. The location is in Magrath rather than Lethbridge proper, and the studio is appointment-only. Couples should confirm these details directly before making travel or wedding-day planning decisions.

Pricing

Prices are not published. The official services page states that the first consultation is free and that an additional appointment carries a $50 fee. The page also says alterations are offered by the hour of time required, but it does not provide an hourly rate or an estimated total.

The evidence does not include retail gown prices, custom gown prices, veil or accessory prices, fitting charges, suit pricing or a complete alteration estimate. Couples should ask whether the $50 additional-appointment fee applies to their particular booking, how it is collected, and whether any consultation or alteration charges are credited toward a later purchase or project.

Contact and booking

Venustas Bridal Salon + Atelier lists 587-606-2945 as its phone number. The official contact page says the studio is open by appointment only and directs visitors to schedule through the services page or text the business. The same page provides the Magrath address listed above.

For retail gown shopping, the website provides a booking route for trying on gowns. Separate booking options are described for custom-gown consultations, alteration consultations, fittings and pick-up appointments. Couples should use the relevant booking option rather than assuming that a general visit will be available.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, couples should describe whether they need a retail gown, a modification to an existing gown, a fully custom design, accessories or alterations on a garment purchased elsewhere. This will help the studio identify the appropriate appointment type and explain the next steps.

For custom work, confirm the design process, fabrics, measurements, fittings, revision policy, expected completion date, payment schedule and what happens if the wedding date changes. For alterations, ask for an assessment of the garment, the estimated hours, the hourly rate and the fitting and pick-up schedule. The official evidence confirms the services exist but does not provide these project-specific terms.

Also confirm current retail inventory, sizing, accessory availability, appointment fees and any temporary schedule changes before travelling to Magrath. The services page includes a notice about a closure from April 7 through April 11, 2026, but couples should verify current dates directly because schedules can change.

Ask for custom design, fitting, payment and completion details
Request an alteration estimate and hourly rate
Verify inventory, accessory availability and current appointment dates
Confirm the $50 additional-appointment fee before booking
