The Covid Pandemic remains a serious problem in our province. Please ensure to follow the restrictions imposed by the government and the guidelines below.

Closing Maria Theresa Bridal's doors indefinitely for the first time since we started business has been tougher on us than we had anticipated. So much uncertainty and worries, It’s like losing our purpose. But after gathering ourselves together, we were reminded by our other passion, helping the community. And what better way than to combine both our passion for sewing and our passion for serving.
Maria Theresa Bridal will be making face masks to donate (100% free of charge) to our front line workers and immunocompromised members of our society. Also, thanks to kind-hearted community members who have donated additional fabrics and materials to make these face masks, we have donated 200 reusable fabric face masks and counting!
