Brautmode Perle
Tap a star to rate
Any dress at Brautmode Perle, in the Aargau near Aarau, can be rented or bought, brand new or previously worn. For a couple who would rather not take a gown home after the wedding, that makes Perle a natural fit and the first boutique to call in the region, and the rental terms are generous: insurance against damage and the cleaning are both in the price, so you hand the dress back as it is.
Two names and two addresses near Aarau
The business appears under two names and two addresses. The footer block headed "Anschrift" gives Brautboutique Perle, Wannenhofstrasse 41, 5726 Unterkulm, with the opening hours. Under "Adresse" the same footer gives Brautmode Alberta, Baumgartenweg 3, 5722 Gränichen, near 5000 Aarau, and the homepage copy speaks throughout as Brautmode Alberta, in Gränichen, about 15 minutes from Aarau. The accessories pages place the boutique in Unterkulm, near Aarau. The relationship between the two names is not explained, so confirm the address when you book your appointment.
Rental, step by step
Insurance against damage to the rented dress and its cleaning are included in the rental price, so you return the dress as it is after the wedding. Rental is not limited to dresses: accessories can be rented too, including hair accessories and hoop skirts. Alterations are done on rented dresses just as on purchased ones, fitting the dress to the bride to the millimeter. Rental sizes are 32 to 58. Second-hand dresses in the shop are ones that have been rented before. Ask for the rental price when you book.
A comparable rent-or-buy offer exists elsewhere in the category: at 2forLove every dress can be bought or rented too, with second-hand dresses from CHF 800 (read November 2026), and Ursi's Brautmode credits its CHF 80 premium consultation against either a purchase or a rental (read November 2026).
Lines for every style and size
The range is organized into lines rather than designers: a Premium Line, a Boho-Vintage Line, a Basic Line, and a large-sizes VIP Line. Pregnancy gowns have a line of their own. The "Selection Alberta" stock is split by size, 34 to 44 and 46 to 58, and there are separate sections for civil-ceremony dresses ("Für's Standesamt") and special offers. Styles run from plain to romantic and playful, with dresses for bigger brides from size 46/48 and for brides expecting a baby. A bride beyond the standard sizes gets a line of her own rather than a few leftover pieces.
Shoes, veils and hoop skirts
Accessories cover shoes, veils, hair accessories, hoop skirts, lingerie, gloves, bags, and stoles and boleros. Shoes come in satin and leather with different heel heights, and choosing dress and shoes together lets the hem be set to the right length, so the dress is finished for the shoes you will actually wear.
A 2019 directory profile
A business directory profile on boutiquen.ch, last changed in November 2019, gives the founding year as 2007, a sole proprietorship with 1 employee, dresses from size 34 to 56, and about 300 models in stock. It also names Brautmode-Plus, a specialist for plus-size bridal wear, as a cooperation partner. The profile is dated 2019, and the sizes (34 to 56) differ from the 32 to 58 now offered for hire.
Visiting, and a seasonal discount
Appointments are encouraged, in a personal atmosphere with the greatest possible privacy for the bride and her companions. The hours table on the site shows Monday closed and opening times on the other days, with a note that Friday needs no reservation; check the printed hours before you travel. In November 2026 all dresses were 40% off, with no end date shown. Ask whether it applies to rentals as well as purchases.
Rent-and-return for a couple traveling in
Everything on the site is in German, and no English page or mention of service in English turned up. The strength for an international couple is the rental route: a dress you do not have to carry home, with cleaning and damage insurance already inside the price, means nothing to store afterward. Rent, buy or choose a pre-worn gown, in sizes up to 58: for a bride who wants that freedom, Perle is the Aargau boutique to see.
