Bridesmaids

From the moment of my first call, to the time I went to pick up my dress, I knew this place was special.
Rosy and her team know exactly how to take care of their clients and address their needs individually and make you feel special throughout the process.
Everyone is so warm and helpful and what I loved so much is that they do not try to sell you something you aren’t interested or comfortable with.
My dress was custom made through their designer and needed a few alterations that made it absolutely perfect. It was a dream working them and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a place to shop their gown.

I always wish The Bridal Haus was around when I got married. It’s exactly the kind of place I would have loved to get my wedding dress from. Now, it’s the only place I recommend to brides-to-be. I recently went with my friend to help her find her wedding dress, and the experience was amazing. It was very personalized, professional, and stress-free. The owner truly cares about each bride and makes them feel special. Highly recommend!

I cannot express how grateful I am for Rosy and everyone at the Bridal Haus. I don’t have a Google account so I am using my Husbands because I need to tell everyone how amazed I am with this place. The morning of my wedding did not go as planned, my wedding dress and a couple of other dresses in my wedding party were not completed by the seamstress we had originally hired. My amazing makeup artist contacted Rosy at the bridal haus and they truly saved the day. Rosy had a seamstress to us within an hour, her name is Sadia, she was AMAZING. She finished all the unfinished work on our dresses and made sure every last detail was perfect for us. I cannot express how grateful I am, I will recommend this place to every bride I know, and if you are reading this as a new bride, this is the company you need in your bridal journey. They will take such great care of you. Thank you again Rosy, Sadia and everyone at the Bridal Haus 🤍

I can't thank Rawtha enough for the amazing job she done for my dream wedding dress🥹she's veryy talented and I loved working with her. I appreciate all the support she provided to me throughout the process and on the wedding day! She made sure everything is perfectly done and most importantly she got my dream wedding dress to life😍she really went beyond our expectations, sooo Thank you so much, Rawtha! You're the most beautiful and sweet person I've ever met. You're truly the best ♥️

I had the absolute best, most amazing experience at The Bridal Haus. The level of attention, care and love put into making my dream wedding dress was heartfelt and inspiring. Thank you for the amount of detail that was put into the dress and the veil, from the delicate lace choices, to the added beading that brought dimension, to the perfect sleeves that required no changes or alterations. The dress was custom tailored to my body!!! I am truly grateful for the high level of standard put forth to create such a beautiful gown. I wish I could give you 10 stars! Highly recommended!!!

To put into words how much Daniella's services meant to us is nearly impossible. Much of what a planner does happens behind the scenes where guests and sometimes even the bride won't hear about it. From the beginning, Daniella helped us negotiate contracts, find vendors, created a beautiful vision for us, answered questions in a timely manner, and absolutely kept me sane. Daniella fielded questions not only from me but also from relatives and the wedding party. She helped facilitate our rehearsal, choreographed our first dance and my husband and his mother's first dance and allowed the day to go off without a hitch. The way Daniella set our room up was absolutely beautiful and it looked beyond what I ever thought a ballroom could look. Daniella is also the kindest most patient person in the world. There are times where I was definitely upset about situations and Daniella kept me feeling excited and happy no matter what. Our day would not have been what it is without her. It's hard to put into photos what a planner does, but if it's any indication by how truly happy I look in every photo at our reception (including when I first saw the room), it's safe to say she did an incredible job. Thank you so much Daniella, I will forever recommend you and think of you when I hear the word "wedding".

Context: dress shopping for a garden fantasy (fairy themed) party.
I had been discouraged after visiting a few places on St Hubert with prices that were too high and sizes that did not fit my body (XL). I had almost given up, but spotted a deep discount rack outside Anais Designs, $12 with no try-ons, with a more realistic range of sizes. Nothing was amazing there, but I saw more sale racks inside. I ended up buying a $15 (also no try-ons) dress as well as a $60 dress (see video) and loved them!
The shop is well-organized and has beautiful pieces. Customers must remove shoes to try on dresses, which I appreciate to keep the pieces clean.
I would certainly return and send friends.

Stella had a lot patience and showed me a lot of options. She helped me find various dresses in my price rage and color. Stella has really good customer service and i really recommend her. She also offered me a really good price. Perfect place for prom dress shopping!

Anna and Stella were truly amazing! They assisted us to find the perfect dress and always ensured our needs were met. I 100% recommend coming here to find your dress for any special occasion!

Thank you again!

I had a great experience with the saleswoman called Stella. She was an absolute joy: very supportive and down to earth. She really picked the best dress I could’ve ever gotten for prom!

Amazing service!!! Anna and Stella provided such professional and and kind service. They helped me find my maid of honour dress - I am in love !! 10/10 recommend❤️

Ave 22 Off The Rack has been a breeze to navigate. I found the website really easy to navigate and use. I was able to favourite the dresses I liked with an account on file and then when I made my appointment I sent in my 5 choices which were brought out and ready for me the day of.

Additionally I was sent a questionnaire which invited me to explain a bit about the wedding vibe and aesthetic and setting so that my stylist could select more for me to try on.

Mya, my stylist for the day, was so helpful and knowledgeable. She knows her stuff and clearly loves what she does! She was able to explain what alterations could be made and how that would work in a very easy to understand way. She was extremely transparent about the prices up front and didn’t force me to try on anything that was over the budget I gave.

She made our day fun and relaxed. She wasn’t pushy about time slots and invited me to try on additional options. It was also well organized - the dresses in the store, and the process. This included trying on the dresses, showing them off in two different lightings, and then the alterations explained.

Finally all my top choices were saved to my profile and Mya has been updating me on the status of those dresses.

It really was my dream wedding shopping experience. Thank you Mya and Ave 22!

The gowns here are beautiful and my stylist Mya was an absolute sweetheart!! She was very patient and knowledgeable in her suggestions and gave many options to work with in personalizing the gowns. She also made me feel very at ease and comfortable. Cannot recommend enough!!

I've been to multiple bridal stores and by far I've had the best experience here. Sandra was amazing; she was so fun, honest and patient with me. I felt very comfortable with her. I ended up picking a dress that she suggested I try on and I've never been happier! Thank you so much for making my dress shopping experience so great! Definitely recommend this place.

Dress shopping at Avenue 22 Off the Rack was a delightful and stress-free experience. The wonderful Samira was very attentive to our bride and was quick to share our excitement for the experience. My sister found her wedding dress here for 50% off the regular price and she couldn’t be happier. We HIGHLY recommend🩷

I would highly recommend every Bride looking for their dream Wedding dress to visit Avenue 22 Off The Rack, as they have the most lovely Wedding dresses for an affordable price! I looked a over 10 stores and I finally found my dream dress here and I absolutely love it! Samira was my bridal consultant and she is truly exceptional! She helped me and my Maid of Honour find the dress of our dreams and put so much thought and care into supporting us. Her warmth, genuine interest and dedication to supporting us means so much to me! She is also super knowledgeable about bridal dresses and even after I bought my dress she still calls to check in and see how I am doing, hear how alterations are going and offer advice for picking out jewellery and my veil. I am truly thankful for my experience at Avenue 22 Off The Rack as they are very accommodating, encouraging and genuinely care about every Bride which walks in their store. They have so many beautiful designer dresses and the bridal consultants really take their time to help you. If you are looking for the full bridal experience, amazing bridal consultants and gorgeous dresses, Ave 22 Off The Rack is the place to be! Thank you Ave 22 Off The Rack, I had the most amazing bridal experience and I cannot thank you Samira enough for all of your hospitality and support! I will be encouraging all brides to visit this amazing store!

I didn't want to overwhelm myself with dress shopping so I only went to one other store and my experience at Blu Ivory was so much better. The store is clean and felt cozy. They have a more private room that is good for larger groups, however, my entourage was small so we would have fit fine anywhere!

I never felt pressured to make a decision and the associate who helped me was very fun and casual, which is what you want when trying on wedding dresses!

They have a range of dresses at different price points which is great, and I appreciated their selection of "curvy" sample dresses.

Once I purchased my dress, the process was very smooth for making additional appointments for alterations and pick-up.

I went dress shopping in Blu Ivory last week and had an amazing experience. Gillian assisted us and she was nothing but spectacular. The selection of dresses is amazing. Would highly recommend!

I went to several bridal shops across Toronto and had one of the best experiences at Blu Ivory, which is also where I ordered my dress. I came in knowing exactly what type of dress I wanted but Gillian was amazing at pulling great alternatives which made the final decision so difficult! She was patient and really made the vision come to life by adding a matching veil, making me see the dress in different lighting etc.

The shop is clean and has a great selection for all budgets. I really appreciated that they have the dresses on their website with price ranges so you can efficiently plan your appointments. I'm looking forward to picking up my dress in a few months!

Blu Ivory was the first store I visited when searching for my wedding dress. I was feeling so anxious before the day started but having Gillian as my consultant made my experience seem like I was trying on dresses with my best friend. She was so warm, kind, and friendly and was honestly such a cheerleader with everything I tried on. I wasn't really sure what I wanted going into the appointment, but she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in making recommendations that helped me narrow down what styles I liked. Although I didn't find my dream dress here, I would recommend this boutique and Gillian in a heartbeat. It made my experience such a joy and positive one.

I said yes to the dress today at Blu Ivory!
Rachelle was super helpful and patient with keeping the process less overwhelming and fun! I really appreciated that she offered her opinions with what aligned best with my vision and body. We found the perfect dress with all the elements I wanted on budget! Thank you!!

My friends and I were window shopping on Monday August 11th and were curious as to where the staircase next to Boutique 1861 would lead to. We soon learnt that it lead to Boudoir 1861, the bridal sister shop of Boutique 1861. We arrived close to closing time, but the two female staff were very kind and accomodating. Upon entering my eyes kept wandering to one of the dresses on a mannequin. The staff help in making sure it fit well and suited my needs, which convinced me to make the purchase. Thank you again for the friendly and welcoming customer service! Especially as a younger group it was greatly appreciated.

I had an awesome and personal experience with the boutique’s patient and helpful staffs! A special thanks to Mireille, who lingered and always asked how she can help. She even provided recommendations on how to best wear the dress I ended up choosing. Thank you to Raman as well for packing my dress suitably for travel and for recommending jewelry. It has been a great wedding dress shopping experience! :)

Nora did a fantastic job at finding such perfect wedding dresses for me to try on! I ended up going home to think about which one I like the most but she was really accommodating and welcoming to my preferences. Definitely a must stop by boutique if you’re in the market for a wedding dress!

I was very stressed at the beginning of my dress search and unsure of what I was really looking for. Mireille listened carefully, took my vision, and brought it to life. She did such an incredible job that I ended up finding my dress in just one appointment. She saved me from countless bridal store visits and made the entire experience so much easier and more joyful. I knew immediately that this was the dress, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Mireille!

Mireille offered amazing service to help me find a few items for my wedding dress. She get such great advice and helped me plan for the big day and I couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend!

I chose my dress at Dream It Yourself boutique after initially marking it as my "wild card" store as it had the most unique dresses and was at the higher end of my budget. From the very beginning it was a top-notch store, with an extensive range of styles and incredible customer service from Laeticia. She was an absolutely wonderful stylist with amazing energy and the sweetest personality. It was thanks to her that she found my dream dress as it wasn't one I had seen online and she made sure everything came together perfectly for it! After having received my wedding pictures back, I'm reminded again how happy I am to have gone to this store, as I felt so beautiful in this dress and Laeticia's attention to detail and hands-on care during the fittings helped make it all come together and truly solidified my choice! If you come to this store, I hope you have the pleasure of working with Laeticia as well. :)

We had been to a handful of boutiques looking for my wedding dress. Unfortunately our experience at DIY left a sour taste in our mouths. We were happy it wasn't our first appointment trying on dresses because after our appointment here it tainted the experience. There was a strong language barrier with our bridal stylist. We even tried our best to accommodate them but there was no effort on their part and it made the whole appointment awkward and that we were bothering her. We also found she wasn't organized and didn't know any of the inventory. It was also frustrating to look at the dresses on the rack and not know the prices. We kept having to ask "how much is this one". The owner or what appeared to be the owner was friendly and was helping the lady next to us and sounded like they were having a blast. Just wish our experience could of been the same.

Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience at this store. There is nothing wrong with the store in itself and the staff. In fact, the store was beautiful and the consultant assigned to me was very nice. I also have nothing to say about the variety of dresses. However, I felt like the sizing was not very inclusive. Many of the dresses that the consultant pulled out did not fit at all. Some of them were ripped and damaged, probably by the previous girl who tried to squeeze herself in it. I would consider myself mid-size. I think i kinda felt in between their "normal" selection and their plus size selection. I could tell the consultant was uncomfortable and empathetic that i could not even get inside most of the dresses. The reviews for this place are so good! I wish I had a similar experience as everybody else 💔 I'm not saying you shouldn't go to this place. I think it's definitely worth a try, but I wish I had read a review from someone who had the same experience so I could at least be mentally prepared.

I had a great experience at DREAM IT yourself. This intimate boutique was appreciated after being overwhelmed by the high volume of people in the St-Hubert St bridal stores.

Elisa was my bridal stylist and upon arrival, she went through all the gowns they had and the different styles the designers were going for. I made Elisa aware I was most likely not buying my dress from DIY as I wanted to buy near my hometown and my purpose of the visit was to see what style I liked stress-free and she was very understanding! She pulled a lot of beautiful dresses and it helped me narrow down what style I was set on doing. The price point of their dresses is very affordable as well. If I didn't find a dress in my hometown I would have for sure done the trip back and forth to purchase the dress at DIY :)

Thank you Elisa for making this trip memorable and for the ease of the dress shopping.

A wonderful experience! Laeticia was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to during my appointment. Would highly recommend this boutique if you're in Montreal!

I had such a wonderful experience purchasing my wedding dress from Embrace Bridal! Special thanks to Emma for pulling my dream dress off the rack for me - one that I certainly would have overlooked. She has a great eye for dresses and I'm so appreciative for her help!

Overall the experience was so fun and the girls made me feel comfortable and beautiful. The seamstress did a great job too and tailored my dress perfectly! :)

I went here for my first wedding dress shopping, and I found my wedding dress I love it so much!. There was a nice seating area for my 5 Bridesmaids so they were comfortable. There were lots of beautiful dresses to choose from. The lady who assisted me was very kind and super helpful. She asked questions to help narrow down what dress I would like. And recommended I try a fitted fress, more mermaid style, which was super important because thats the dress I fell in love with and ended up buying!. It was so much fun, I had a really good time 😀.

I loved my experience here. This was the fourth store I visited and I ended up having to go alone. My consultant, Nadine, was such a hype girl and so much fun to shop with. I felt supported and cared for regardless of my decision to buy.

Their selection of on sale/sample dresses is abundant. The materials were quality and the dresses were absolutely beautiful.

I suggest making an appointment so they can guarantee you time to shop. I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

I am so impressed with this bridal studio!!! Every single employee helped me to find the perfect wedding dress, and to alter it to be as comfortable as possible. They were so accommodating with my unique situation - I was working rotation and I was pregnant! Because of my circumstances, I wasn’t able to try on the finished, altered dress until three days before the wedding, and it fit *just* too tight (talk about stressful)! But I called the girls, and they knew exactly what to do to fix it. I got the dress back in time, and it was absolutely perfect!! I was just over the moon that I got to wear my dream dress! Thank you Caroline, Dani, and the alteration team for accommodating my crazy schedule, and for making my wedding dress experience a pure dream 🩷✨🙌🏼✨

Embrace was an amazing experience from the start. As someone who can get overwhelmed easily with decisions, they were beyond patient and so helpful. My experience at embrace was so amazing that I chose to not visit any other bridal boutiques because I just knew they wouldn't compare to the service I received here. Everybody here is so wonderful and helpful. They made me feel so special and beyond beautiful, they took their time with me, and never made me feel rushed. I would recommend this bridal shop to everyone! They really go above and beyond for their brides!!

Came here to support my best friend to find her dream dress! Kennedy was incredibly lovely to work with! She was attentive to detail and gave amazing recommendations to help my bestie get her dream dress! Thank you so much Ferré Sposa!

Kennedy (the owner) is so amazing!!! She is so caring and genuinely wants her brides to be happy and enjoy their wedding. I cant wait to come back, the store is so clean and tidy, everyone there even the ones who didn’t help me were so sweet. Definitely recommend paying them a visit!!!

I said yes to the dress! The team here is so welcoming and friendly, and I had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. They have a large selection of gorgeous dresses to choose from, which made shopping really fun. Ankita helped me with my fitting, and she was amazing—so knowledgeable, patient, and supportive in helping me figure out which style suited me best. Overall, I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend this boutique to any bride-to-be!

Before my appointment, Kennedy reached out to have a better understanding of the dress I was looking for, she was very sweet! On the day of my appointment I was amazed with the bridal shop layout and I enjoyed the space and aesthetic of it all. On top of that, Lesley was very kind and informative. She helped with selecting styles and was very sweet to my family and I. I'm so excited to have found my dress at Ferre Sposa, the team was amazing!

Just about to put my deposit down & say yes to the dress from here... but I just wanted to give a shoutout to my consultant Ankita who was super kind, patient and friendly at my 2nd ever dress fitting appointment! She got me to try on a dress that wasn't my style, and it ended up being the dress that I loved! Thank you Ankita!

I love the personalized sign upon entry, super cute idea. The change room was also set up nicely with the stand in the curtained off area. I do wish we got champagne or some other welcome beverage, however not sure if this is the norm for bridal stores as I didn't receive any champagne at the 1st place I tried either! I just thought this place was a bit fancier and would have that- just some feedback!

Otherwise, I will absolutely recommend this place to future brides :)

Thank you Ferre Sposa team!

I bought a wedding dress second-hand and was lucky to find Gigi well before my wedding date! She gets busy fast so I felt lucky to have her as my seamstress. Gigi truly specializes in wedding dresses and did an incredible job making a good amount of modifications to my dress including the bustle, removing skirt bulk, hemming, adjustments and lace details. Despite all these changes, my dress fit great and was easy to carry around to various locations including the beach, forest and many stairs!

She also had very reasonable pricing and a great turnaround time, and was a lot of fun to chat with throughout the process.

Thank you Gigi!

Gigi was able to alter my vintage wedding dress from a size 6 to a size 2, and it fit like an absolute dream and looked perfect! Her attention to detail and incredible talent truly brought the dress to life. I recently got my wedding photos back, and I’m still blown away by how amazing the dress looked. Everyone complimented it! I couldn’t be more grateful for Gigi’s work. Highly recommend her for any bridal alterations!!!

If you’re thinking twice about taking your dress to Gigi, don’t!!

She absolutely did an amazing job with my Sophia Tolli dress. I ordered my dress 2 sizes bigger because I thought I would gain weight during the planning process. I didn’t gain weight, and needed my very intricately designed dress altered to fit. Gigi paid attention to every little detail, and the dress turned out perfect. I live in a northern community so I barely made it to Montreal, but she was so flexible about scheduling fittings.

I highly recommend!

GIGI, GIGI, GIGI, WHERE CAN I START 🩷
I gained weight due to health problems before my wedding & it was a really stressful time for me. I knew my dress would have to be altered, in a short amount of time as well.
I brought my dress to Gigi and her amazing coworker. First of all they did not shame me for gaining weight, they got straight to work on solutions to make my dress fit.
Second of all I had an extremely long train that I wanted removed but would also affect the look of my dress if not done right.
Gigi saved my dress, and made me even like it more. She fixed the closure to make it close, and hemmed my skirt just enough to still give me a small train.
The bonus: she calls your mom for you because she knows you want your moms opinion, she gave advice on how to tape your dress & body to make it look good on you & took pictures of me at my final fitting. I could not have gone to anyone else, with as much skill as Gigi and her coworker. I have many many many friends whom have been recently married, and for the insane amount of work she had for my dress with a tight time line, her price was excellent. Save yourself the trouble of looking elsewhere on google & just go see Gigi.

Gigi really knows her stuff! She hemmed my bridesmaid dress perfectly in a very timely manner and was very welcoming and agreable. I was able to feel very confident in my dress and got lots of compliments! I absolutely recommend her services!

Amazing service and selection. Will definitely be back!

This company has gone above and beyond to help coordinate my friends large wedding party

Very helpful staff. Thank you

Awesome selection and fair prices

Great outfits and staff!!!

Kimberly is incredibly kind and, most importantly, truly focused on what the bride wants. She never pushes a specific style or pressures you to make a quick decision, which made the experience feel so relaxed and thoughtful. At the same time, she gently offers advice on things you might overlook, which I really appreciated.

I honestly didn’t expect to find the dress at the very first boutique I visited, but I was so lucky to discover the perfect one at her boutique, I didn’t even have to think twice about it. The price was also very fair, especially compared to what I had seen online and at other boutiques. Nothing was overpriced or inflated.

Her boutique has a beautiful, elegant collection that I highly recommend checking out. Another thing I loved is that she only takes one appointment at a time, so you get the entire space to yourself. It felt very private, calm, and comfortable, the perfect environment to try on dresses and truly enjoy the moment.

With only three months left before the wedding, I was feeling anxious about finding the right dress in time, but Kimberly made the whole experience so smooth and stress-free. I'm truly thankful for her support :)

Kim was the sweetest! My dress shopping was so stress-free and low pressure. She listened to my wants and picked some dresses that she thought would match, as well as some styles that I never even thought about!

I ended up choosing a dress that I loved and I felt incredible on my special day.

Kim was so amazing! She was so approachable and made dress shopping so fun! She worked to make me comfortable and feel beautiful in every dress I tried on. Kim made me laugh and have fun throughout the process - telling me her life stories and being genuinely interested in getting to know me.

Not only did Kim make the dress shopping experience exceptional, her dresses are absolutely gorgeous! When I tried on my wedding dress, it was not one I was expecting. It was not my typical style but made me feel so beautiful. Numerous dresses were strong contenders, each beautiful in their own ways. Not only beautiful, but more affordable.

Thank you Kim for giving me a dress that made me look as beautiful as I felt. I highly recommend Kim and her dresses!!

I had the most incredible experience! Kim is so friendly and personable - I went in on my own as my family lives in western Canada, and she helped me FaceTime my mom and loved ones to show the details up close and include them in the special moment of saying yes to the dress. The store has a great selection and is welcoming and affordable. Highly recommend!

This was such an amazing dress shopping experience! Kim was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. She suggested dress styles I hadn’t even thought about. I found my dream dress with her! Thank you😊

As a wedding photographer, I can confidently say La Jolie Robe is nothing short of amazing. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Anne-Marie and her team on two shoots, and each time has been such a wonderful experience. They are incredibly friendly, approachable, and genuinely care about the people they work with. Their passion, kindness, and attention to detail shine through in everything they do. Whether it’s helping a bride find her dream dress or collaborating with vendors, La Jolie Robe makes you feel welcomed and valued from the moment you walk through the door.

I absolutely love this shop! I bought a few dresses here and every single one is gorgeous. The quality is excellent, and the styles are beautiful and unique. The staff were so friendly and helpful, making the whole shopping experience easy and enjoyable. I left feeling confident and excited to wear my new dresses. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for stunning outfits and great service!

I only went to another bridal boutique before La Jolie Robe to find my wedding dress and from the moment i stepped into Anne-Marie's carefully crafted boutique, I already knew i was going to find my dream dress here. the attention to detail from the staff is absolutely amazing, they just know how to make you feel so special for your special day to come! they're very knowledgeable and are very professional yet approachable. Highly recommended for all your bridal and evening gown needs!

This adorable little boutique made my dreams come true. I felt like royalty on my wedding day and it was all because I found the dress of my dreams and the perfect veil to go with it. The dress came in 4 months after purchasing, so it was a lot quicker than anticipated (6-9 months). The staff was very knowledgeable and it made the whole experience easygoing. I also attended their summer sale for other evening gowns and got some amazing dresses for 15-40$ when these are normally 200-400$. I live in the complete opposite direction but the trip is worth every penny!

We had such a wonderful experience at La Jolie Robe! We found the perfect bridesmaids dress and the whole process was seamless from start to finish. The owner Anna Marie and her staff were incredibly kind, patient, and made us feel so welcome. She really listened to what we were looking for and guided us to the perfect choice. The boutique is beautiful, and the selection is amazing. Highly recommend to any bride or bridal party looking for a stress-free, enjoyable shopping experience!:)

My dress was an absolute MASTERPIECE!!
The quality, the fit and the attention to the detail were exceptional. I felt like a real time princess on my big day. She’s highly professional, genuine and patient. Highly highly highly recommend!!

I had a great experience trying dresses at Les Robes Royales! The lady was super nice and patient. She was very attentive! The dresses were sooo dreamy! If you’re looking for a princess dress, you’ll definitely find one there!

Amazing Experience with Farah at Les Robes Royales!❤️

Farah made my bridal shopping experience absolutely unforgettable! She was so kind, patient, and really listened to what I wanted. Her expert advice helped me find the perfect dress, and I couldn’t be happier. Farah’s attention to detail and genuine passion made the whole process stress-free and fun. If you’re looking for exceptional service and a gorgeous gown, I highly recommend visiting this shop and working with Farah!

Absolutely exceptional experience ! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect dress for my big day. The selection was stunning, and the quality of the dresses surpassed my expectations. The entire process was seamless, stress-free, and truly enjoyable. I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend Les Robes Royales to every bride-to-be!

The royal wedding dress we tried on was simply stunning. The lady assisting us showcased remarkable patience, enhancing the overall experience. The prices were incredibly affordable, and we happily said YES to the dress. A heartfelt thank you to Fara🫶🫶for her immense kindness and dedication. Wishing her continued SUCCESS in her exceptional work.

I purchased my dress here last year and initially had what I thought was a good experience. However, I had significant issues with one of the alterations places (Anna's) that was specifically recommended by Lovenote. After my first fitting we had a family emergency that resulted in us needing to postpone our wedding. I recognize this is no one's fault, but I called Anna's as soon as they opened the very next day to explain the situation and they assured me it hadn't been touched, they wouldn't touch it, but that they'd shipped it off site so it wasn't in their possession for me to come pick up. When I was finally able to pick it up, not only had they altered it, but they'd only done part of the alterations discussed, hemmed it arbitrarily to a length that didn't work with my shoes and required me to purchase new ones, and did a generally poor job full of short cuts. Their customer service was also horrendous dealing with them afterwards. Now that my wedding has been rescheduled I'm working with another seamstress recommended by Lovenote, Ingenuity, who has been absolutely excellent. However, independent of the issues I experienced with Anna's, this seamstress has explained that the alterations required to make my dress fit my frame properly aren't actually possible given the structure of the dress. When I was selecting my wedding dress I had actually been concerned about whether it would be possible to alter it to fit properly because the bust area was so much larger than what I needed, but the salesperson at Lovenote insisted that this was standard and could be altered. I'm not expecting that these girls have the same level of knowledge as a seamstress would, but when you're selling dresses for thousands of dollars you should at least have a basic knowledge of what is and isn't feasible. I should have trusted my gut, but this whole situation is especially frustrating because I had been concerned about alterations and was convinced that it was doable by the staff at Lovenote. Working with the new seamstress I'm confident that I'll be able to get it to a state where I can wear it for the ceremony, but it's incredibly uncomfortable and completely impractical to wear a dress where the bust is 2-3 cup sizes bigger than what you need for an entire day. Since this is obviously outside of the realm of being fixed by padding, I had to go purchase a second dress a month before my wedding, and obviously wasn't able to get any actual wedding dresses on such short notice. This whole situation has been a complete nightmare and has ruined my wedding dress experience. This dress was expensive, and if I had more time to find an alternative I wouldn't be wearing it. It's unfortunate that Lovenote wasn't more informed or more honest because I'd have preferred to have chosen another dress versus be in the situation that I am now with a dress that can't be altered to the shape and size of my body. It's okay if a dress doesn't fit, but they shouldn't be pushing people just to make a sale. I did reach out to Lovenote directly to inform them of this situation, but the response doesn't do anything to help resolve the situation. They essentially just noted that they were sorry, would try and avoid in the future, and hope this negativity won't be a reflection of my wedding day. I would avoid going here because the staff are either unknowledgeable or happy to give you incorrect information to try and influence you to purchase. I also feel as though they don't have any accountability for the fact that they are recommending an incompetent alterations business with horrible customer service. My wedding dress experience has been completely ruined, and something that should be positive has been turned into a stressful and very negative situation that's required additional expenses and unexpected purchases to rectify. Adding to my review after reading the business' response - an offer to reach out directly after I did that prior reviewing and there was no attempt to rectify or resolve the situation in any meaningful way is not helpful.

I found my dress at Lovenote last year and had the BEST experience. The dresses and boutique are absolutely beautiful and Natalie was so patient, helpful, and sweet (get yourself a bridal stylist who looks at you the way Natalie does! 🥹) I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all while trying on dresses here. Truly couldn't have asked for a better experience.

I had the LOVELIEST experience at Lovenote this past weekend... my first time dress shopping and I found THE one, all thanks to the fabulous Natalie! 💛 I initially heard about Lovenote from a friend who had an equally stellar experience, and am so excited to continue to recommend this beautiful spot to future brides!

Lovenote Calgary is truly the full package - beautiful decor, stunning dresses, and such a clean + peaceful space. Natalie welcomed us warmly from the beginning, and was seriously a ray of sunshine and made my appointment so fun!!! Every dress there is beautiful, Lovenote truly carries the loveliest range of styles that can be customized with removable sleeves and accessories. My appointment ran SO smoothly, and Natalie helped me EVERY step of the way, perfectly fitting/pinning dresses so I could get a full picture of what my final dress could look like!

As a curvier and more full-figured bride, dress shopping had me feeling nervous. But I seriously felt so beautiful in every dress, and was never uncomfortable. Natalie recommend SUCH amazing dresses to fit my style and body, I've never felt so confident!

Could not recommend this lovely place enough! This is your spot, brides! Thank you Natalie, times a million!!!

I had the most incredible experience with Nat and Annie! Both stylists were so kind, professional, and knowledge. I’m sure their entire team is fabulous but if you get a chance to book with them, definitely do!

Beyond the amazing customer service, their space is stunning and the sample dresses are kept in great shape. Thank you lovenote for making my first wedding dress shopping experience unforgettable! 🤍

I had such an amazing experience at Lovenote Bride a few weeks ago. It was my first time trying dresses, and the bar was set very high (both in experience and dress quality). Annie was simply lovely! I felt very comfortable with her, and she ended up pulling THE dress for me. I really appreciated the natural light in the space, it helped the dresses come across so well in photos.

Ma Cherie Bleue was the very first boutique I booked an appointment with.
And let me tell you, the standards were set very high afterwards.
I went to several boutiques following my original appointment at Ma Cherie Bleue but nothing came close to the experience, service, knowledge, care, styles of dresses, quality of dresses, prices and honesty.
Ma Cherie Bleue was unmatched.
Natalie took her time to explain every style and ensured I tried on all styles.
She was honest in giving her professional opinion on what she thought looked best on me.
I ended up going back to say yes to the dress that I kept dreaming of after my first appointment.
The dress I said yes to was one I would have never even tried on if it wasn’t for Natalie.
Natalie gave my guests and I the best experience we could have ever asked for.
She made sure everything was captured on video and even made my mom ask the special question.
Natalie and her team are wonderful and made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in till the moment we left.
I would recommend Ma Cherie Bleue to every single bride to be.

What an outstanding experience. I felt SO welcomed and special there, Connie and Nathalie made the time there so outstanding and truly went above and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better first wedding dress try-on. Every detail, from the beautiful decor in the salon, to the time spent sharing all of the designers collections with us, to the attention to every single detail, I was amazed. They made me feel so special, beautiful, and cared for. I could go on and on, and I can't recommend Ma Cherie Bleue enough.

What an amazing experience! My sister (the bride) felt so seen and heard. Connie was incredible. She explained each designer and the kind of dress they make. She gave amazing advice and pulled great choices based on what my sister had picked out.
There are so many beautiful dresses to pick from and Connie was so helpful with trying them on and giving pep talks. It is INCREDIBLE how inclusive their sizes are (for bigger girls like us, this shop had most in a 10&12, so you could actually see how they fit. And they have a nice selection mini dresses for other bridal events as well as bridesmaids dresses.
They had tea and water. They let you try on as many as you want (even going over the time limit with us because they had the space). They let you take pictures. They are amazing.
Out of all the stores we’ve been to, this has been by far the best. I will compare all other bridal store experiences to this one. 10/10!!

Absolutely wonderful customer service and amazing selection! This was the first store I went to for my bridal gown and they were so helpful, I found my dress after just a few tries!
I chose the Ophelia dress, custom-made to my size. It was light-weight and comfortable, perfect for an August wedding, and it looked great in all the photos! I would highly recommend Nathalie and her team to help you find your dream dress!

I had the absolute best experience at Ma Chérie Bleue, after having had several other appointments at other bridal boutiques. I would recommend this boutique to every single bride to be.

The selection of dresses is vast, and they are all beautiful and of high quality. I found many unique dresses that I had not seen anywhere else.

All of the dresses are available to the client to see and feel, and the prices are indicated. While the person working with you will certainly help look for dresses based on your description, you can see every single dress and pick out yourself the ones you'd like to try on. Also, all the dresses are shown on the website, which is very helpful. It is also useful to note that some of the designers they carry allow you to modify your dress in production, which allows you to customize your dress but also to reduce the cost of your alterations.

The atmosphere is wonderful. You are alone in the boutique, which makes it feel cozy and intimate, and you can try on all the dresses you want. It is clear that the person helping you, as well as the owner, know what they're talking about and what they are doing and are truly motivated to help you.

The real gem of this boutique, however, is the owner, Nathale. I have never met anyone like her, and I would not want to buy such an important dress from anyone else. She has a friendly and very fun personality, but more importantly, she really knows dresses. She was able to help me customize my dress to make it fit my vision and my body. I couldn't possibly have more faith in someone for the job.

What Ma Chérie Bleue offers is a unique, personalized, fun and caring experience to find your perfect dress. They really care about your experience, they will go above and beyond to help you make sure your dress is just right for you and that you have everything you need to feel confident and secure when making your final choice. Again, I cannot insist enough on Nathale. She truly makes all the difference.

Working with Melissa to make my dream dress was an unforgettable experience. She is so talented and brought my exact vision to life through countless conversations and fittings it was absolutely perfect! She makes the process feel so easy and stress free with her calming demeanour. I would recommend Melissa a million times as she will truly work with you to make sure you look amazing on your wedding day!

Best part was that Melissa allowed me creative liberties in the design of my reception party wedding dress. I came to her with a concept (some pinterest images and inspiring silhouette) and she helped guide me through it until it was perfect! We even added pearl beaded arm puffs for some drama. She has an eye for detail and is very professional. During the process of making the dress, we saw each other over 3 fittings and she was positive and receptive to my comments and demands. She was extremely patient with me, as I am a very detailed person. Extremely happy with this dress and I recommend MELISSA as a couture expert!

Melissa is one of the best people I got to work with for my wedding preparations! She is a wonderful, creative, and very skilled person. She was very helpful and full of inspiration through the entire process.
We worked together, starting obviously with the planning. She was able to take all of the individual things I liked from many different photos and combine them into one perfect dress for me. Shortly after getting the dress figured out I was forced to postpone the wedding for 2 years because of covid and each time we contacted her she was very understanding of the situation and was able to accommodate the late delivery of the dress.
Once everything was back on schedule I had my first fitting and found that I didn't like one of the materials that I had chosen and Melissa was amazing at saying "no problem" and we chose a new material that was exactly what I wanted! She made absolutely sure I loved the dress. The final fitting was done just before the wedding to make sure that it fit perfectly. One more note, the quality of the materials that we chose and the quality of the dress in the end was more than I could have hoped for. I highly recommend Melissa for any dress that you want to have made!

Melissa was an absolute dream to work with. The dress I picked up is exactly like the sketch she made at our first visit. She has such talent and I felt I could trust her professional opinion when it came to styling and fit. I am so so happy with my wedding dress. Thank you again Melissa!

Melissa is a wonderful and talented designer who takes the time to meet her clients needs! We travelled from Toronto to Montreal to buy my wife her dream wedding gown and our 1 year old daughter her dress and i can definitely say that even through the snow storm that hit it was well worth it. We highly recommend Melissa Gentile to any bride to be!!!

I’m SO happy I found this place! With Hannah and Dayle’s gentle guidance, they helped me find the dress that made me feel the most “me”. I was their last appointment of the day, yet they were still so present with me and made me feel right at home.
This was my 7th (and final!) shop that I visited, and I can easily say they have my favorite collection of dresses 😍 Their team truly has an eye for design, beauty, quality, comfort, and value - you would think the dresses here are priced much higher than they actually are.
Even before going in, I had a strong feeling I was going to find my dress here - and I did! It was the first dress I tried on, and the one I kept comparing all the other beautiful dresses to. I can't wait to try it on again with their curated collection of accessories, and of course, I’m so excited to wear it down the aisle and see my fiancé’s reaction ☺️

I cannot say enough great things about Dayle and the Oh Happy Brides team! Dayle was so professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and a calming presence. She was so genuine in her interest and excitement for our elopement. She was thoughtful with her questions and honest with her opinions, but never once felt overbearing or pushy. She clearly just wants brides to find the perfect dress for them, the one that makes them excited and feel beautiful! She was so helpful with our tight timeline, even helping expedite the process where she could. I am so happy to have found such a beautiful dress and been able to support such a wonderful local business! Dayle, thank you so much for everything!

We had an incredible experience today and the whole team at Happy brides were amazing. The receptionist took the initiative to get us a tripod for our family that we were face timing. The eye for detail and customer service was beyond exceptional. Roan did a fantastic job and was amazing, friendly, had a great eye for detail and really took the time to listen. Roan really made this bridal experience one to remember and we would highly recommend you request Roan!

Oh Happy Brides was the perfect wedding dress shopping experience! Hannah was so helpful, and considered every detail to help me find my dress. They were patient, positive, and really fun to shop with. The dresses are beautiful and they have something for everyone, would definitely recommend!

We had such a lovely time at Oh Happy Brides! My appointment was with the owner, Dayle, who made the entire experience so much fun. She was friendly, encouraging, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable about the ordering and alteration processes. Early on, the appointment opened my eyes to styles I hadn’t considered before, which was incredibly helpful at this stage in my dress search.
The shop itself has a fantastic selection of unique dresses, and although we weren’t the only appointment that day, the layout of the shop and Dayle’s focused attention made us truly feel like the only ones in the store. Trying on dresses at a small business was such a refreshing experience because everything felt so much more personal. It was wonderful getting to know Dayle, and I highly recommend anyone to visit her and her shop!
