The Bridal Mirror
Shop Small. Shop Local. Shop Sustainably. Shop with Purpose.
There's something special about walking into a locally owned shop. You're not just buying an item—you're investing in your community. You're helping families, supporting dreams, and keeping unique businesses alive.
At The Goode's Bridal Thrift Shop, we believe that saying "yes" to a pre-loved wedding gown is one of the most beautiful ways to shop sustainably. Most wedding dresses are worn for only a single day, yet they require tremendous amounts of fabric, energy, and resources to create. Giving a gown a second life keeps a beautiful dress out of storage or a landfill while allowing another bride to create memories of her own.
For brides who prefer not to wear a pre-loved gown, we also carry many beautiful brand-new wedding dresses with their original tags that have never been worn, giving every bride the opportunity to find the dress that feels right for her.
One phrase we hear nearly every day is, "I had no idea this shop was here!"
We've been in our current location for just over two years, and those words remind us that the greatest advertisement a small business can receive isn't a commercial—it's a recommendation from someone who has visited.
If you've enjoyed your experience at The Goode's Bridal Thrift Shop, please tell a friend, share one of our Facebook posts, leave a review, or simply mention our name when someone says they're getting married. Word of mouth is the lifeblood of every small business and the single greatest way you can help us grow.
While you're here, be sure to explore The Shoppes at Oldies But Goodies.
10 Carpenter Road, Elmira, NY
Open Thursday through Monday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
With thousands of unique items to discover, you'll find antiques, collectibles, handcrafted goods, home décor, clothing, furniture, gifts, and countless one-of-a-kind treasures—all under one roof. You never know what hidden gem is waiting around the next corner.
Every purchase from a local business makes a difference. Every recommendation helps us grow. And every bride who chooses a gown from The Goode's Bridal Thrift Shop—whether pre-loved or brand new—is supporting a local business and shopping with purpose.
Begin with Love, Not Debt.
Thank you for shopping small, shopping local, shopping sustainably, and shopping with purpose. We hope to welcome you soon to The Goode's Bridal Thrift Shop.
