Anna Tkachenko

Anna Tkachenko is a co-organizer of UAFest 2026 and the owner of Wedding Boutique ALICE, the Ottawa bridal shop the festival lists among its organizing partners.

The boutique introduces itself in its own words: "WEDDING & GRADUATION & EVENING & KIDS DRESSES 👗 in Ottawa, ON 🇨🇦 ✅ The best quality! ✅ European style!" Alongside the dresses it lists a custom tailoring service from a designer, a dress fitting service, and a dress cleaning service for its own dresses. Facebook files the page as a Bridal Shop, with delivery and in-store shopping, and shipping to Canada and the USA.

A graduation-season post sets out how the made-to-order side works: "At ALICE Bridal Boutique, we offer custom evening and graduation dresses from Europe, created in beautiful designs and tailored according to your measurements." The post asks for consultations to be booked in advance — delivery takes approximately 1.5 months — and describes dresses for "graduation, prom, evening events, birthdays, and special celebrations."

For brides, the boutique goes past the gown. "At Alice, we carry a curated selection of accessories — veils, crowns, earrings, hairpieces — each designed to complement your gown and bring your bridal vision to life," reads one of its reels, which ends with an invitation to "Send us a DM to book your fitting in Ottawa." Another reel describes a milk-white satin mermaid gown with a soft front slit and a shimmering lace insert, "designed for brides who adore clean lines and breathtaking detail."
