Where Moments Become Memories, and Stories Are Passed Down.

HEAR OUR STORY
Three generations of women - from grandmother to granddaughter—who own Your Wedding Place

Janelle was once a bride herself in this very boutique - finding her own wedding dress here nearly 30 years ago.

Over the years, Karen and Janelle have transformed the space into what it is today, leading multiple renovations and thoughtfully evolving the boutique to reflect a modern, welcoming experience while staying true to its roots.

A FULL-CIRCLE STORY, SHAPED BY EXPERIENCE AND HEART

"We’re all about creating an experience that feels just as special as the moment itself, one that’s fun, exciting, and filled with those “this is it” feelings. Whether you’re a bride, a grad, or celebrating someone you love, we’ve created a space where those moments feel supported, memorable, and truly yours. For over 20 years, we’ve been proud to be that place in Red Deer for generations of women."

our story

Three Generations of Women Helping Brides Find Their Dress

What began as a mother-and-daughter vision has grown into something truly special.

As a mother-and-daughter team, Karen and Janelle originally worked in the wedding industry through their bakery, creating wedding cakes and helping bring celebrations to life through beautifully decorated venues. In November 2005, they transitioned from wedding planning and took the next step, purchasing Your Wedding Place.

Today, that legacy continues with Janelle’s daughter, Madisen, who has grown up in the boutique and now leads the brand’s marketing, bringing a fresh, modern perspective to the next generation of Your Wedding Place.

Karen
First Generation Owner & Operations Manager

Karen is the proud first-generation owner of Your Wedding Place. In November 2005, she and her daughter Janelle purchased the boutique after years of entrepreneurship — owning a bakery, creating wedding cakes, decorating venues, and pursuing many other creative endeavours within the wedding industry. What began as one small bay with three primary designers has since grown into the beautiful boutique it is today.

As both Janelle’s mother and Madisen’s grandma, Karen is the heart of the family legacy behind YWP. Over the years, she has had the honour of helping three generations of brides and graduates find their perfect gown. She truly believes gowns hold power and magic — and that when a special girl finds hers, it’s unleashed with joy and beauty.

Behind the scenes, Karen manages the books and oversees the operational details that keep everything running smoothly. Her dedication to excellence, service, and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere continues to shape the experience brides know and love. 🤍

Janelle
Second Generation Owner & Operations Manager

Janelle is the proud owner of Your Wedding Place and has been leading the boutique since it was purchased in 2005. She and her mom bought the store together and built it into the beloved bridal destination it is today — with Janelle running the day-to-day operations from the very beginning.

Before stepping into bridal retail, Janelle was deeply involved in the wedding industry, including venue decorating and creative event work, developing a natural eye for detail and design that continues to shape the way she helps brides envision their full wedding look.

With decades of experience, Janelle is passionate about creating joyful, personalized experiences for every client who walks through the doors. She is a proud wife, mom, and grandma, and continues to lead with warmth, dedication, and heart — qualities that make Your Wedding Place feel like home. 🤍
