CHICAGO (WLS) -- A new bridal shop is opening in Chicago. It's taking over the old Brideside space, which closed during the COVID pandemic, and left many brides scrambling.

Wish Upon A Dress will open on June 28, by appointment only.

Before the opening, there's a sample sale for brides. That's set to happen from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Saturday.
