Where: 3150 W Government Way, Ste 1B, Seattle

What: Listen, sit down. We have to talk. Voletta Couture in Bellevue, once among the premier wedding boutiques, is gone. It’s not certain at this point whether the shop will reopen, so all of the existing stock—wedding, bridesmaid, and mother-of-the-bride gowns as well as shoes, veils, and accessories—must be sold. Most of the gowns to be sold are a bridal size 10, which translates to a street size 8; reps at the sale will be referring customers to the shop’s former seamstress for alterations.

Voletta carried Amsale, Kenneth Pool, Christos, Badgley Mischka, Anne Barge, Oscar de la Renta, and Reem Acra among other lines. You can expect to see gowns from those makers marked down from 50 to 75 percent. Flip through the slideshow to see examples of what’s on offer.

When: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, September 10–12, 10am–6pm
