Bridesmaids

Have had a great experience with Jealous Bridesmaids! I went to three boutiques during my dress shopping experience and it was my favourite. Christine was very helpful and easy to work with and helped me find my dream dress! They have a lot of options and good price points - I was easily able to find something within my budget.

I not only said "yes to the dress" here at Jealous Bridesmaids, but I had a FABULOUS time doing so! It's a comfortable and lovely space they have that has such a great variety and selection of dresses at very reasonable prices! Christine helped me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole appointment. My bridesmaids and mum also had a great time as we looked at dresses, and danced and did a little "test aisle walk". Super happy with my dress that is also being altered at Jealous Bridesmaids!

They also have some great selections of lovely reception dresses for the brides that want two outfits for their big day!

Thank you Jealous Bridesmaid for making me feel the most beautiful girl in the world. The whole experience was great. My first appointment, I tend to be a very indecisive person and there was one dress I really love but didn’t feel ready to say yes to the dress. They didn’t push me and said to take time to think about it. Glad I did because the extra time gave me a chance to make sure I was making the right decision. So for my next appointment, I fell in love with the dress all over again and was I knew it was the one. I just had my wedding August 30, 2024. So many guests complimenting me on my dress and asked where I got it and was proud to say it was from jealous bridesmaid. Thank you Natalie and Charmaine for helping me find my dream dress 💕 👰🏻‍

Note: For alternations, make sure you are able to step backwards without tripping with the dress bustle done up. I didn't do that and noticed it was bit difficult to do my choregraphed first dance due to stepping on the inside of the wedding train. So make sure your bustle is high up enough so that you are not tripping on the back of your dress while dancing.

A wonderful west-end location for wedding/evening dress shopping that offers alterations. Friendly staff members and service were great!

The front door does not do justice to the vast inventory available downstairs at Jealous Bridesmaids! There is so much to see and browse through with several areas of wedding dresses, evening gowns and an accessory section as well. Appointments were seamless as they have a system in place to give automatic notifications to remind brides/guests of their upcoming appointment and protocols to follow.

Alterations were very effortless as well. A staff member will ask when your wedding is and work backwards to ensure your dress is completed in time. You'll be required to come in for two fittings and one final pickup day. The first fitting is to pin up areas and get an estimate for the alteration. The second fitting is to make sure lengths are good and revise if necessary. The third and last fitting is to ensure nothing else is wrong and that your dress is good to go! If you are an external client (not their dress), they will require you to pay in cash.

Emily and Charmaine were two of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They gave me the chance to share my dress options with my dad by allowing me to take the dresses home and try them on. I wanted to deeply and sincerely thank the both of them for helping me find my perfect dress. You both were absolutely amazing. I felt right at home with you two and was so comfortable. I also wanted to thank the seamstress who made sure everything fit perfectly and looked amazing.
Literally the best place you can go to get your wedding dress!
The dress was an absolute stunner. (Even made my husband cry at the alter! If thats the reaction you're looking for!)
Thank you to everyone there for being so amazing once again!

If you are looking for something different and beautiful....this is the shop!! Super customer service! Unique designs! Great for conservative customers...but great selection for those who like a bold unique look!!! Have women's, men's and children's clothing! Very competitive and reasonable prices. Great quality! And....as a larger woman I had tons of options! I ended up getting a beautiful coral dress with matching jacket and it had beautiful opulecent gems to accentuate my waist.

Bought my wife a dress from here for her birthday. The service and attention to detail was much appreciated. Highly recommend for a fantastic local business!

Jeannie rocks!

Love this store! I always count on it for my formal kidswear. Very unique collection and good quality. Recently bought my sons white communion tux from there and it was perfect! Definitely recommend!

Dem and Jeannie were extremely helpful, we we’re looking for a nice Gala out. They have a really good selection of kids,ladies and some men’s wear at reasonable prices.

Jeannie took the time to really listen to my needs. I got exactly what I was looking for right away. Great service!! Will be back.

Great service, very kind and helpful sales people and there was no pressure to buy. Also, there was such a variety of beautiful dresses that we didn’t see in other stores!! Both of my daughters bought their grad dresses here and loved them!! (Photos taken by @viva.lux)

I took my daughter grad dress shopping here, we went to a couple other stores prior. Lily by Lyla had a great selection and even better staff. Matalyn helped us out during our first visit, not only was she knowledgeable she went way and beyond to make my daughter feel comfortable and picked dresses that suited her style. That day we didn't pick the dress so we came back for round two. Maroslava helped us and she was also fantastic and just as helpful. They both went beyond our exceptions and had amazing suggestions which made the shopping experience feel at ease. Lily and Lyla has amazing selection, and staff which contrasted other stores we looked at before. The store it self was well organized, very clean and well decorated. It didn't feel cluttered like some other places we went dress shopping. We had a great time shopping here, I will recommend it to everyone I know who is looking to pick out a grad dress.

Jamaica our stylist made the morning magical. My sister came from Toronto to grad dress shop with my daughter. So much laughter and joy. Best time ever.

The perfect store to find your perfect look, no matter how unique or difficult to find it may be.

Lily by Lyla was by far the best store I went to for my grad outfit. The organization of the store was perfect, and I knew where to find exactly what I was looking for (and I got to try on bunches of dresses for fun). They had such a wide selection, and a perfect system for how to go through it to find the perfect outfit.

Yaro was consistently helpful when I was trying to look through, telling me if she saw anything I might like, and the first thing she showed me was exactly what I was looking for. She told me which outfits and brands would be most likely to have my size, helping me deduce what the best option would be for me.

As a smaller person, it’s been pretty difficult finding the perfect thing while also making sure it would fit me (and be practical for my budget), but Yaro and Lyla both helped me so much when I was having those difficulties. I got brand and tailor recommendations, and they’ve offered to look into finding and ordering in some options similar to what I wanted and closer to my size (as to minimize the cost of alterations).

I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to go here. I’ve been given such great advice by the workers at the store, and finding the unique outfit I want feels so much less daunting thanks to the lovely people here. If you ever want something different and hard to find, go here. Even if they don’t have it, Lily by Lyla is the perfect first step to figuring out where it can be found.

Thank you again to the lovely team at Lily by Lyla, and I look forward to any opportunities to shop here again in the future.

I wanted to buy local and have now purchased 2 gowns at Lily by Lila’s. However, our experience was marred by very poor organization/communication hiccups at every turn. Firstly, when the dress order arrived, the store apparently sent us a text to our landline to notify us. Though there was no record of their call on my landline or cell phone. 4 weeks later and no further attempts made, I called in to the store and was told the dress had been sitting there for a month.
When my daughter tried her dress on at pickup, it had clearly not been looked at when it arrived, there was an obvious defect/repair required with the back of the dress, which the store offered to repair free of charge. They provided a business card of a seamstress they said would fix the issue and assured us that they would drop the dress off either that night or the next day.

I made an appt with said seamstress for the following Thursday and came from Okotoks with my daughter to marda loop after school for the appt. I had made 2attempts each to confirm with both the seamstress and lily’s to confirm the dress was delivered. 2 hrs before the appt an employee at Lily by Lila’s confirmed with me the dress had gone out and would be there. It was not.

After many phone calls I was given the explanation that Lila took it to a different seamstress and the employee gave an apology over the phone while confirming it was nothing to do with her and offering nothing to make up for the error. I asked multiple times for the owner to call me. She has not. I was texted afterwards saying:

“ Our boss isn’t available to call right now. And I thought that was where the dress was going to go get fixed so I do apologize on my part but I did also mention that I would message you when the dress was fixed and ready for pickup back in our store.”

Please don’t buy your dress at Lily by Lila. It has been a source of embarrassment and regret for me and I suspect you will be much happier elsewhere. The owner still hasn’t dignified my multiple attempts to contact her with a response.

Very nice place and great service from Véronique directly. Beautiful dress and great style for all budgets!

Super nice by email, responds quickly. Only, his address in Montreal on St-Hubert Street is not the right address. I traveled for my appointment only to finally realize that his office is in Terrebonne. I wasted my time, I felt no sympathy from him. I'm disappointed.

A unique experience! Every time we visit, we are treated like royalty! Exactly as you should be in a bridal boutique! A well-deserved perfect score!!!

Excellent service. Veronique listened to what I was looking for, and thanks to her, I'm going to have my dream wedding dress.
Thank you so much.

The perfect place to consign or buy used dresses. Excellent customer service.

I purchased the Fairview Dress in off-white, and unfortunately my experience has been very disappointing. When I opened the package, I immediately noticed the dress was damaged before I even unfolded it completely. It was clear that this dress had been purchased and returned by someone else.
Upon unfolding the dress further, I found a small black spot and noticed that the overall quality was very poor. The stitching was not done well, and the dress did not reflect the price I paid—$325. For the cost, I expected much higher quality and care.
To make matters worse, P&F customer service only offered me a 15% discount leaving the final total for damaged goods to be $264. I find this unacceptable given the condition in which the dress arrived.
Sadly, I cannot recommend this dress or the customer service based on my experience.

Great place for bridesmaid dresses and more simple bridal dresses!
Our stylist Emily was sooo amazing and attentive to our needs.

Highly recommend booking an appointment to allocate time and special attention to your needs.

This is a small canadian woman owned businesses, so we were advised to order earlier (august wedding) due to available stock.

Etc:
- we parked underground in a separate location and walked 10 minutes
- not entirely wheelchair accessible but doable if you let them know in advance
-need to walk up stairs for private viewing

I was searching for a formal dress for a black-tie wedding and found the perfect one online. Since it was a higher price point, I wanted to see it in person before committing. I reached out via email to see if the boutique had it in store, and they were incredibly helpful and responsive right from the start, and was able to reserve the dress for me.

When I arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. They not only had my reserved dress ready but also pulled additional sizes and other beautiful options for me to try. Their attentiveness and genuine care made the experience so enjoyable.

I ended up purchasing the dress I originally had my eye on, and the whole experience just cemented my decision. I didn’t even feel the need to shop anywhere else. The combination of stellar service, gorgeous selection, and a friendly, personal touch makes this boutique an absolute gem. If you’re looking for the perfect dress, this is the place to go!

I was looking for a simple and timeless white dress. Luckily, Park & Fifth was the perfect place for it. I happily walked out with two beautiful dresses off the shelf.

I booked an appointment to have better access to their collection, and it did not disappoint. My group had a semi-private lounge space with a large mirror, and the dresses were displayed right beside us.

Our stylist was attentive and sweet. She was always available whenever I needed help or had a question. What I appreciated most was that we were also given enough space and time to discuss the dresses and make decisions. I felt extremely comfortable throughout the process.

As for the dresses, most of them seemed to be made from soft, flowy fabrics. They don’t force your body into a specific shape, but rather highlight your natural silhouette. Some of the dresses I tried had light boning for added structure, but they were soft and didn’t cause any noticeable discomfort.

I highly recommend this wonderful Canadian-owned business!

I purchased the Rosalie Dress (true sage) in April then discovered I was pregnant in late May. This dress obviously isn’t going to fit for a September wedding so I had to go back to get another dress/size. I tried to exchange the dress with tags on it, never worn and they will not let me know. I even asked if I could just do a size change but they wouldn’t let me do that either. Poor customer service as I committed customer who has bought three bridesmaids dresses this year from them

I cannot say enough amazing things about White Satin Bridal Boutique! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with such warmth and kindness—I truly felt like family. At first, I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted, but Dominique and Shannon took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life in the most incredible way. Their expertise, patience, and genuine excitement made finding my dream dress such a fun and unforgettable experience. I was torn between getting a big ball gown dress or something more fitted and practical, Dominique made my dream dress a reality when she suggested adding an over skirt, and I got to have two very special looks on my wedding day!

A huge thank you as well to the in-house seamstress, whose exceptional skill and attention to detail ensured my dress fit like an absolute dream. Every adjustment was done with such care, making my gown truly perfect for my big day.

The entire team at White Satin made this journey so special, and I can’t thank them enough for their support and guidance throughout the process. If you're looking for a bridal boutique that not only offers a stunning selection of dresses but also makes you feel valued, supported, and celebrated, this is the place to go! Thank you again to everyone at White Satin for making this experience so incredible!!

I can’t say thank you enough! Coming from out of town, I found White Satin through a Google search and knew I had to make the trip! I love how easy it was to see so many of their dress options online and on Pinterest - this made me a lot more prepared and excited for my appointment. Domonique was my Stylist and she was amazing, attentive, kind & knowledgeable. She suggested many dress options within my budget, changes I could make to dresses to fit my needs (i.e., straps), and shared stories of her own experiences - all while making sure my own thoughts and preferences about the dresses were heard and prioritized. I also got to meet Shannon, the boutique manager, and another stylist - who were equally as kind!
I said yes to the dress during my appointment, and am looking forward to continuing to work with them for my alterations and prep before my wedding day! Thank you SO much to the whole White Stain bridal team :)

I had the most incredible experience at White Satin and I cannot thank Dominique, Shannan, and the White Satin Team enough for making my wedding dress journey so smooth and memorable. From my very first appointment, Dominique was an absolute gem. She was attentive, insightful, and provided valuable feedback that helped me find the perfect gown. Despite starting my dress shopping later than planned, Dominique’s expertise guided me through the process with ease, helping me narrow down exactly what I wanted.

What truly sets this boutique apart is their exceptional customer service. With my dress expected to arrive just 1-2 months before the wedding, Shannan and the incredible seamstress Sue, went above and beyond to accommodate my timeline. They were not only flexible but also ensured all the necessary alterations were completed on time, making the process completely stress-free.

I highly recommend White Satin to any bride-to-be. The level of care, attention to detail, and support they offer is unmatched!

I was unfortunately disappointed with my experience at White Satin Bridal. I tried on three dresses before the stylist told me they didn’t have what I was looking for. While I appreciated the honesty, I feel it could have been delivered in a gentler way. The vibe felt a bit off, and I left disappointed, especially since my bridesmaids and mother had come a long way to join me.

The boutique itself is beautiful, and I’m sure many brides will find their dream dress here, but in my case I felt like I was wasting their time. This was just my experience, and I wish it had gone differently.

My initial motivation for wedding dress shopping at White Satin Boutique was to support Asian-owned businesses. As fate would have it, it was also the only store in Ottawa that carried dresses by Jenny Yoo, a Korean-American designer. I truly hit the jackpot when I found my dress there in July 2023. The selection of Jenny Yoo gowns was stunning, with so many options that it felt like one of those “can’t go wrong” situations. Dominique, the bridal stylist, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She took the time to understand my style and vision for the big day, addressing my hesitations and providing guidance without any pressure. She is so impressively good at her job in fact that I would argue she knows THE dress for you, even before you know it yourself.

Once my dress arrived in March, I returned to the boutique for a series of minor alterations, all while enjoying the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Shannan was also a pleasure to work with—her friendly, positive nature made every visit enjoyable. Siu, the expert seamstress, helped to ensure my dress fit perfectly and was comfortable enough to dance the night away without worry. I have and continue to receive countless compliments on my gown, and couldn’t have been happier with my choice. I wholeheartedly recommend White Satin Boutique for anyone looking for an exceptional bridal experience!

I just had an incredible experience here at Alliance Bridal finding my wedding dress! Booking my appointment was incredibly easy, and I could even select specific dresses that were ready for me to try on when I arrived! Throughout my appointment, Tania, my consultant, made me feel so at home and comfortable, bringing more dresses that she thought would suit me as well. Even when I couldn't decide between two dresses at the end of my appointment, the whole team was incredibly accommodating and supportive. I ended up returning (twice in two days!) and purchasing my dress, which I unexpectedly fell in love with, for an amazing price! Tania went above and beyond for me, really made me feel like I was family, and I left feeling very confident in my decision. I would 100% recommend any other brides-to-be to book an appointment!

My experience at Alliance Bridal & Prom Boutique was nothing short of outstanding. As brides, we already have so much on our plate (with our fiancés being oh-so-“helpful” with planning 😉) but Alliance took the over thinking and stress out of something with so much pressure around it, Walking into this appointment I honestly had low expectations, my first dress shopping experience elsewhere left me feeling deflated, discouraged, and disappointed, and I was convinced I’d leave empty-handed again.

But Alliance Bridal completely turned that around. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. I usually dread trying on clothes, the constant stripping down feels like such a chore. But to my surprise, I actually had fun. That alone speaks volumes! Even though I had just met my consultant, I never once felt judged, awkward, or out of place. Instead, I felt supported, celebrated, and at ease.

The variety of dresses was incredible, and to my amazement, I found the one. I said “yes to the dress” and the experience didn’t end there. After my appointment, my bridesmaids stepmother and I went downstairs to look at dresses for themselves. To top off an already perfect day, my stepmother also said yes to her dress.

Overall, Alliance Bridal offers phenomenal customer service, an amazing selection, and a truly uplifting shopping experience. Without a doubt, this is the place to go in the area for wedding gowns. I couldn’t recommend them more!

I had such a wonderful experience at Alliance Bridal! The shop had so many beautiful gown options and a great selection of accessories, which made the whole experience feel really special. I originally went in just to browse and wasn’t planning on buying anything that day… but with the help of the lovely clerk, I ended up falling in love with a dress that was the total opposite of what I thought I wanted!

What stood out most was how comfortable and supported I felt. There was absolutely no pressure to buy, and the staff made me feel beautiful and confident in every dress I tried on. When I found the one, they were even able to express ship it in and made sure everything stayed within my budget, which I really appreciated.

From start to finish, it was a relaxed, positive, and memorable experience. I’m so happy I found my dress here and would absolutely recommend Alliance Bridal to any bride-to-be!

The store has selection of beautiful dresses. I’m glad to have chosen their store. Not long I found a perfect dress. Don’t forget to ask for help. The staff are very nice there and they’re expert👍🏼

I simply cannot say enough good things about my experience wedding dress-shopping here!
I booked an appointment and tried on dresses for a Saturday, the staff picked out dresses that fit exactly what I had in mind, respected my budget and made me feel comfortable and unpressured.
I ended up coming back on Monday to buy my dream dress! Already looking forward to coming back for alterations!

I absolutely loved my experience at Avenue 22. It was the second store I visited as a bride and from start to finish had the most amazing experience with Lulu. She was better than any style associate I could have made up in my mind. She greeted myself and my family with joy and made us all feel very at home. She listened to my likes and dislikes in a wedding dress and allowed me the freedom to roam the entirety of the store and choose any dress that popped out to me. She made me feel beautiful & confident while never being pushy about a sale. Ultimately, I found my dream dress here and can’t wait to come back to try it on once it arrives! I look forward to seeing Lulu and the rest of the staff, they truly made my wedding dress shopping experience top tier.

I have and will be recommending Avenue 22 to all my fellow brides! 🤍✨

I had a phenomenal experience with Tyler as my bridal consultant! She was the ultimate hype woman and made me feel so confident and my family so comfortable. She was able to pick-up on what styles I was liking (even when i wasn't seeing the trends) and recommended my perfect dress! She was mindful of my budget and only showed me dresses within that budget, she even warned me when a dress was reaching the top end of my budget. Avenue 22 has so many style options and dresses that there is definitely something for everyone. 1000% recommend coming here for your wedding dress!

I had the best bridal shopping experience at Avenue 22 Bridal! I came in not expecting to buy a dress that day ended up leaving with two! Tyler was the most amazing bridal consultant and is a gem of a person. She made me feel so beautiful and truly felt like family by the end. I had gone to another bridal dress store before this one and the difference in my experiences were night and day. Tyler is so great at what she does, I didn’t know what I wanted after trying on only a few dresses at another store but she quickly figured out what I liked and didn’t like. I was able to browse through dresses and pick some that stood out. I ended up picking one of the dresses Tyler chose for me! She truly made the experience better than I ever envisioned.

I had an amazing experience at Avenue 22 with Alice as my consultant!! It felt like she very quickly understood what I was looking for and helped me to narrow it down to my dream dress. I had to take some time to think about it and she was never pushy, I wound up buying the dress at my second appointment.

Alice also really helped me with the details on the dress too, giving me insights into the alterations to consider and how to style the dress to meet my vision:) I would recommend this store to anyone looking for a dress, they carry such a huge selection to choose from!

Had my first dress fitting here with Nathaly as our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. She made the whole experience so enjoyable and really helped me when I was unsure. I can’t recommend her enough!

I had a wonderful experience with Château Nadia. The boutique itself is elegant and offers an extensive selection of stunning wedding dresses to suit every style and taste. Nadia is truly exceptional—her warmth, professionalism, and passion for what she does are immediately felt the moment you walk in.

Due to time constraints, I wasn’t able to place a custom order and instead chose a gown that required significant alterations. The team handled everything with care and precision. They were highly responsive, incredibly detail-oriented, and committed to delivering exactly what I envisioned.

A special mention to Clara, the Italian seamstress, whose expertise and eye for design made all the difference. She instinctively knew what adjustments would best complement my silhouette and ensured the dress fit beautifully.

Overall, an excellent experience with a dedicated team who genuinely care. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing experience finding my wedding dress at Château Nadia. The staff was friendly and helpful. The saleswoman who assisted me made beautiful dress suggestions that I didn't expect, one of which ended up being THE one. Nadia and her team helped us work around our budget and made the whole experience a dream come true! Thank you!

Terrible experience at Chateau Nadia. They were running late which was fine, I was happy to wait until I had the salesperson’s full attention. When the girl finally started serving me, she was still finishing up with another client. She was very rude and dismissive. I felt like I was a bother and like she didn’t want to serve me. She also kept complaining about her feet and how they were hurting her. I fount this very unprofessional. Eventually, another girl came to help. At this point, i was unhappy and not enjoying my experience so we walked out. Very disappointed in this store and their employees.

My wife and I honestly felt super comfortable as soon as we walked into this shop! The staff were super nice and accommodating and knew exactly how to treat a Bride to be! Super patient and professional! Highly recommended and reasonable prices too!

Extremely disappointing experience. I really wish I had read the reviews before booking.

From the start, the consultant was rude and dismissive. She kept insisting I try on certain dress styles, even after I clearly said I wasn’t interested in them. When I mentioned my budget was around $2,500, she made a face and said she doubted there was anything in the store for that price, which was both unprofessional and unnecessary.

I also asked if my mom could help me look through dresses, and the consultant responded with, “I’m the consultant, I don’t want other people’s opinions, it’ll make my job harder.” That completely killed the moment.
The dresses I tried smelled like body odour.. which was gross honestly. I feel like the bare minimum would be to have clean dresses..
At the end, we discussed fabric options for a dress, she mentioned having samples but wouldn’t explain them further because, according to her, “it was too complicated and we wouldn’t understand”

Trying on wedding dresses is supposed to be a joyful, memorable moment, something you share with loved ones. Instead, this felt, cold, and condescending. Not at all the experience I had hoped for.

I want to thank David's Bridal for the wonderful experience start to end. From fitting to alterations. The ladies are so personable, kind, and genuinely care about your big day. My only critique would be if possible talk to head office for more support options in alterations for the big breasted girls. Although I still thought my alterations were beautiful I do wish there was more options for support and lift that could have been sewed in. Thanks again Davids Bridal ❤️

I found a gorgeous dress for a destination wedding I will be attending in November. The fashion advisor I had was so patient and helpful. I just happened to walk in without an appointment and was able to fill a cancellation appointment. The dress was perfect with the exception of the length.
I made an appointment with their alterations and the lady that looked after me was very friendly and professional.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from David’s when I first walked into the store but I am so very happy that I did. I would recommend David’s to everyone. I am completely happy with the service the wide selection of dresses The price and the support provided by the alterations department. Everything they said would happen - did happen
Thank you David’s for a great experience !!

I am so grateful to the three ladies who helped me fit the dress I found on their online store for my special day. I was a little scared they might not have it in stock, but luckily, when I called, they still had it. It’s a simple and elegant dress. Thank you!

I would like to thank David's Bridal for going above and beyond for our daughter! Last year(2024) she came all the way from New Zealand to find her dress. We called David's on a VERY snowy(blizzardy) day in Feburary (as we had a very bad experience at another bridal shop) and David's fit us into their schedule. The young gal in the middle photo was just amazing and went above and beyond to make her experience the best one can have on a blizzardy day! (The dress fit perfect and she was able to take it home that day) I wanted to sent you a picture of just how beautiful the newlyweds looked on their day! Thank you so much for all you did that day and making sure she had the most amazing experience! One wedding down, we do it all over again in 2026 for a Canadian wedding!!

Found outfit on the first try! The seemstress fitted for hemming and outfitted with shoes. The sales girl was right on the first try! Incredible service. Nadeen and Elohor were amazing, friendly, efficient, and accommodating with last minute alterations!

We were absolutely blown away by the stunning selection of beautiful dresses! We were visiting Calgary for just a few days and the echo team did a great job accommodating us. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine excitement about helping us find the perfect dress made all the difference.

We drove to Calgary from the US to find a prom dress from my daughter. We luckily went to Echo Evenings first. The staff, Luisa was very patient with us. We had to leave their store first to look for some other options around town.

We ended up going back to this store because of the following reasons:

-Their selections of clothing are elegant and updated!

- Echo Evenings Dresses are clean and you will not think of being grossed to try them on like the other places! The other stores tag price are rocket high and somewhat old and dusty!

- Their staff Luisa was really hands-on in helping you out till you find what you really like. You will never find as helpful as Luisa. Thank you!

I'm so glad to find this store and would go back to buy prom dress, we got 3 more years to go. I highly recommend Echo Evenings in Calgary!

I can’t recommend Echo Evenings enough! Our experience from start to finish has been absolutely amazing. The staff helped my daughter, Kennedy, find a beautiful grad dress and even made great suggestions for alterations that could be done to make it the dress of her dreams. The customer service, kindness and attention to detail was exceptional. The alterations we had done were high quality and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be bringing my other daughter here when it’s her turn in a few years. Parking is free on evenings & weekends, it’s also convenient access from the ctrain. We highly recommend Echo Evenings, you won’t be disappointed!

Highly recommend Echo Evenings for Grad Dresses!
The staff are soft spoken yet friendly, patient and incredibly helpful - they went far an beyond my level of expectation. The grad dress arrived in great timing.
We weren't sure what color my daughter wanted i.e. the fuchsia or orange and the staff graciously helped with the decision. My daughter went with the orange!

I bought the most beautiful grad dress from Echo Evenings. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Udita was so amazing and gave me great recommendations. There were so many great options to choose from but I’m so glad I said yes to this dress!

Every little girl dreams of their wedding dress and my experience at Galleria was a dream come true!!! From the moment I walked in I knew I was in the BEST hands. Emanuele and his team were so patient with me and truly made the experience magical. After trying on countless beautiful dresses, I decided to go the custom route which may seem daunting but the process was nothing short of amazing. Emanuele worked with me throughout the year leading up to my wedding always making sure I left our appointments smiling. The whole process from design to creation to alterations was incredible. Their expertise, attention to detail and overall passion for making brides feel special truly can't be put into words. Emanuele, Josie and team thank you for creating the most beautiful gown I will ever wear and more importantly the most memorable experience I will never forget! I am forever grateful!!

As the mother of the bride, I came to this shop expecting a joyful, once-in-a-lifetime experience for my daughter. Sadly, it was not.

The dress selection was limited to small sample sizes, which made my daughter feel uncomfortable and offered minimal choice. Instead of celebrating her, the owner was judgy and made no effort to create a supportive or inclusive environment. Watching the bride's excitement fade into self-consciousness was heartbreaking.

In addition, the hospitality was nearly nonexistent. When we finally asked for water, a single bottle at room temperature was handed to us — as if two people could share. It felt dismissive and unwelcoming.

This day should have been filled with excitement, support, and celebration. Instead, it was rushed, impersonal, and left us feeling like an inconvenience. I would not recommend this shop to any bride who wants to feel valued, beautiful, and celebrated.

I had the pleasure of buying my wedding dress from Galleria Della Sposa in October 2021 for my June 2022 wedding. I did have other appointments lined up but ended up canceling them because I found my dream dress at my first stop, Galleria Della Sposa. Not only are all of the dresses absolutely gorgeous, they are also really comfortable. Emanuele, Josie and the entire Della Sposa team were so nice and helpful. I had a few alterations done by the Della Sposa team as well and they made sure that I was 100% happy with everything and their attention to detail was very much appreciated. I highly recommend visiting Galleria Della Sposa when shopping for your wedding dress, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Emanuele, Josie and team!

In essence, a girl’s dream come true in a wedding gown is about finding a dress that not only looks beautiful but also makes you feel confident, comfortable and truly special on your wedding day.
It all took place at GALLERIA DELLA SPOSA.
They are above and beyond the bridal industry.
Josie, Emanuele and their team are outstanding.
The styles, the fabrics and the special details are stunning. The delicate lace and intricate beadwork is a truly touch of elegance. We recently purchased my daughter’s Bridal Shower dress and Wedding Gowns. A long gown for the ceremony and a custom made short wedding dress for late evening reception. This support and experience was fantastic every step of the way. We highly recommend GALLERIA DELLA SPOSA, it is absolutely a gem. The choice of dresses is incredible. Thank you for making me 3 beautiful and gorgeous dresses. It was magical!

I had an incredible experience! From the moment I walked in, the team listened closely to my vision, patiently guided me through different styles, and helped me find the perfect dress that made me feel truly beautiful on my wedding day. The staff’s expertise and genuine care made every step enjoyable. My dress was stunning and exceeded all my expectations for both comfort and style. Emanuele and his team did an amazing job with the fittings. I received so many compliments and truly felt like a bride in every way. Thank you, Galleria Della Sposa, for making my wedding dreams come true! I highly recommend them to any bride in search of her dream dress.

I got my wedding dress from La Maison Bridal and did my alterations there. All staff were very helpful and supportive. They really helped me pick a dress and gave me enough time and appointments to make a decision. They have a great collection. Prices are very reasonable. I got alterations done there. Very lovely seamstress who is patient and has a great demeanour. She has a great personality and lots of experience. She tried to accommodate my requests while also knowing what works and what does not. I had a great experience and overall would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I am shocked by the positive reviews. I would not recommend this boutique to fat brides or any body really. There's maybe 20-30 plus size dresses and they're hidden in the back. The selection was very limited and the dresses barely fit enough to try on so I couldn't really tell if I would like it or if I would be comfortable in the dress even if it were my size. There was one dress the consultant kept wanting me to try on and it seemed like the go-to dress for plus size brides. The consultant also let me try on a dress that clearly stated on the tag only went up to a size 12. When my sister expressed it would be nice to see the dress on a plus size model she told us to look it up online and maybe we could buy it from somewhere else. It was so strange. Anyway, I am very thankful I had a wonderful appointment earlier that day at David's Bridal or I probably would have sworn off wedding dress shopping completely.

Had the best experience at Maison Bridal with my girls. I purchased a $2500 dress that the lady told me had two small holes that would be no problem to fix. Got home with the dress to realize they weren’t two small holes. They were huge holes that I ended up needing to replace the whole back of the dress. The zipper was broken that she also said “oh, you just need to pull it up a bit harder than the other dresses”.
I should have checked the holes my self. I understand but I was so in the moment because I found the dress and she threw my veil on and sent me out to show my ladies the dress that I didn’t even think about checking.

I found MY dress here! I honestly never thought I would have the experience of finding THE dress until I came here. I had seen an Instagram ad with this specific dress and booked my appointment for the next day. The staff is always very lovely. I didn’t feel rushed, and I felt heard. The boutique is also very lovely and in a good location. All in all, I loved my experience and would definitely recommend!

I had a lovely experience dress shopping at La Maison! While I didn't find 'the one', they had a great selection of pretty dresses, an intimate space for me and my group, and even an area with alternate lighting so you can see the dress in different lights. My bridal stylist was super kind, and not pushy.

Nice couple but she really can't do alterations. It's a good, reasonable price to get dresses fitted but she and I talked about doing more than year resizing it. If you just want your dress taken in and hemmed, she can (probably) do it adequately. I also wanted the stiffening layer removed, the straps shortened and adjusted to lay on top of my shoulders (like a tank top; original was a little off the shoulder and really just levitating off of me as it was too big) and a two tier American bustle. She said she could do all of this but didn't deliver. She made decisions without consulting me and when I asked about what we discussed she said it didn't look good and this is the best way to have the dress. She did not remove the stiff layer, she did a French bustle and the straps were just cut which led it to be this almost off the shoulder thing that's just on the edge of my shoulders. Doing that with the straps also made the armpit hole incredibly small. I honestly almost cried when I went to the first fitting - I felt like I was stuffed into a white loofah (with the bustle). I feel that should've been my decision or something we couldn't decided together - she could've called. She could've been honest about her ability if she couldn't do it so I could go somewhere else. I was very upset, which I expressed. She said she couldn't do anything I wanted because it "wouldn't look professional" and "why would you get a big dress if you didn't want it to be poofy". She did however decide to help me redo the bustle to be a 1-tier American bustle. I ended up bringing my fiancé to my second fitting because I was in shambles about how it wasn't what I wanted and I just felt really upset and unheard. We knew it would ruin our "first look" on the wedding day but I just really needed his reassurance because I just felt so terrible at the first fitting and I wasn't willing to wear it on our wedding day anymore. He made me feel beautiful in the dress, not her nor her skills. Ultimately, I wouldn't come here again. She can do hemming and make the dress fit you but if you want any stylistic changes, no matter how small or simple she will not deliver. She may say she can, but enforce her own judgement without consulting you to the point you'll be shocked with the outcome then rebuff your concerns with criticisms on your choice of dress. I wish I went somewhere else so I could've been more comfortable in my dress and had something that aligned more with what I wanted - what I wanted wasn't hard or crazy. It's not entirely her fault that we won't be able to have an authentic "first look" (wedding planning is stressful and this was another thing to go wrong too close before our date) but what she did to my dress certainly contributed. I ended fixing some of the things with one of my bridesmaids but we couldn't do much because there's no more fabric to work with.

I had a wonderful experience at this bridal alteration shop! The owners are so friendly and accommodating, making you feel comfortable right from the start. I bought my wedding dress online, and they expertly tailored the top to fit perfectly in no time. Their prices are fair for the amazing work they do. When I couldn’t pick up my dress because I was sick, they kindly held onto it until I was better. Highly recommend them for any bridal alterations, and they also offer sewing classes! :)

Great dress options at affordable pricing but absolutely terrible alteration services.

Gave a dress i purchased there and paid 120 for absolutely nothing. She literally did double the work and didnt do what she said she would do. She took in the bust area as I said I dont want to reduce from the chiffon straps going up my back but she didn't follow through.

I went for my second fitting after she also got creative adding boning which totally ruined the look of the dress. She kept saying it's the best and no one can do better.

I came to my regular alteration guy and Nimble Needle on Preston and he's charging me the same amount to do what Laysieng said she would do but did NOT do.

Don't do alterations here - she's not a pro and doesn't know the best option and outcome. Buy your dress but take it to professional alterations.

My bridesmaid had the same issue - I'm sure she will leave a review of her own but laysieng completely changed the look of her dressand all she had to do was stick to the minor alterations she agreed to in our first fitting.

Won't be back...that's for sure.

came here to buy my prom dress! unbeatable selection, found the most beautiful dresses ever. prices are also ridiculously good, we got three dresses for $300! owners are also the sweetest people ever, laysieng helped adjusting my dresses throughout.

I am FUUUMMMIIINNNNGGGG.
I’m a bridesmaid for my friend who lives 7 hours away. I can’t make it for the group fitting so I called this place and specifically asked them if they carried the dress line so I could try them. I specified that my drive to Ottawa is two hours away and that I’m specifically coming to Ottawa so I can make sure I can get this specific line.

They lied and said they had Dessy Dresses in Velvet. I get there and they have one Dessy Dress and it’s not the right one. All the velvet dresses they have are knock offs of Dessy and theyre more expensive???

She wouldn’t let us take photos and kept hovering and pushing for me to buy a dress that was not the right one… I just bought a house in Renfrew County area. I don’t have money to waste on fuel to drive somewhere for nothing and that’s what I did.

Thanks for nothing and then following me on my way out and saying if I don’t buy now I won’t get the discount on a dress I don’t even want. Thanks for lying to me on the phone when i specifically asked if you had that line and specifically told you I was 2 hours away.

Thank you so much Leila Haute couture for helping my mom find her dress for my wedding! She was a little last minute on searching for a dress and they went beyond to make sure she got her dress on time for my wedding. She looked absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! So thank you so much for all of your wonderful help!

I can’t shake off the feeling that I was extremely ripped off at this store. Sadly, I found the perfect dress here but it was overly priced and I was lied to.
When trying on dresses, they help you make them closer to your size and tell you “oh, but if you like this dress, we can order it on your size” LIES - you don’t get a dress your size nor a new one- just the one who knows how many people have tried before. I think they trick you into getting a dress even if it’s not your size just so you pay a lot using their seamstress to adjust it (which I won’t be doing, I found one of my own).
The manager also is very quick to judge you for your budget. I said I wanted a specific style of dress and what my budget was and her first comment was “you have expensive taste. You won’t find a dress like that in your budget”, then, why am I even here?
Also, BEWARE, they write the price tags BY HAND. I saw how my price tag was at 2.6k and by the time I agreed to get the dress and was doing the paperwork, the tag had been very obviously manipulated to say 2.8k.
I honestly regret getting my dress from them because I feel I was taken advantage of. It’s sad that the dress I loved was from this store.
I recommend you go with a much lower price range than your actual one because they pressure you to buy on your first visit because they offer a discount “only on the first visit”. Since it seems their prices are made up, they help you reach your budget so that you buy with them: LOWBALL THEM!! And maybe you wont get ripped off like I was :)

We had a wonderful experience here buying the Mother of the Bride dress, Sara was so helpful and accommodating, she let us try on as many dresses as we needed to to find the perfect one, she made the whole experience feel special and stress free! Highly recommend coming here for your mother of the bride dress! Besides the great customer services there is a huge selection, with a lot of new models. Also a special shout out to Fatima, who was just as kind and helpful!

Pros

- beautiful dresses and designs
- they have manyy styles to choose from
- european style dresses
- working with Sarah was really enjoyable, she truly focused on understanding my style and what I wanted and was very patient. Totally recommend asking to work with her if you can.

Cons

- I wouldn't recommend this as a first place to try dresses if you're unsure of what you want, can get stressful as there's a lot of dresses to try & to choose from
- You get a first time visit discount, so that adds pressure to the decision if you're only going there to shop around

I didn't end up getting my dress from there, but I would only recommend it not as the first shop you visit, only go there if you kind of know what you want

This women knows her stuff. I am a heavier woman and within 15 minutes she had me in dresses that fit. I am the mother of the groom. I would recommend this boutique to anyone. Alot to choose from including wedding dresses so glad I found this place

My experience at Natalia Exclusif so far has been incredible! Mathilda is amazing - she's so patient and kind with such great vision. Great dresses and great customer service!

I had a great experience at Natalia Exclusif! Natalia and Mathilda were kind, patient, and knowledgeable, making dress shopping smooth and enjoyable. Their collection is stunning, with high-quality dresses at very reasonable prices. They took the time to understand my style, and I felt truly cared for. Highly recommend to any bride!

Mathilda was absolutely amazing! She was focused on what I love more than my entourage, really centering the experience on my desires. She also helped me find exactly what was missing to make me say yes to a beautiful budget friendly dress! Thank you again, I had a wonderful time 🥰

Matilda helped my sister shop for her wedding dress and the service was amazing! She listened, was attentive and found solutions. She acted with professionalism and we are extremely satisfied with the service.

Accompanied my cousin when she bought her dress here recently (April 2025). Mathilda was her consultant and she was very knowledgeable and professional. Very patient, offered different alternatives and solutions. Also very patient. A very cool experience in a calm, beautiful place

I visited Sonia's Bridal for my bridesmaids dresses. Sonia had such a welcoming studio and made us feel right at home. We each had individual needs and wants in our dresses and she listened to us and found the perfect dress. All of my bridesmaid were happy and confident in their choices. I highly recommend Sonia's Bridal for all your dress needs. She also found matching ties for our groom and groomsmen. Thank you for making this hectic time such an easy experience!

I dropped off two dresses to get altered by Sonia. She was able to get a dress altered for me within less than 24 hours and the other dress within the week. She was super quick, friendly and very affordable! I will definitely be coming back to her in the future, her location is also so central which I love ! Highly recommend !

Sonia has been absolutely marvellous. She took us short notice, had the most reasonable prices and didn’t even want to take the money until my wife was satisfied with her dress. 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend her to anybody. Her prices won’t be beat and she is efficient as we only had to go back once. Other places dry minimum standard price regardless of the work needed and what kind of dress and also requested multiple fittings to make things work.

I ordered a bridesmaids dress online and needed a ton of alterations done (hemmed length, narrowing of the bra cups, and bringing in the waist). I was so anxious about this dress but Sonia was so confident in her ability to make it fit perfectly, and she did not disappoint! Really great price for all these alterations and it was done within one week. Highly recommend!! Thanks so much Sonia :)

Sonia was an incredible person to work with. I took my wedding dress in to be altered and bustled. She was recommended by a friend. She was efficient, quick, kind, and prices that cannot beat. My dress was ready within 2-3 weeks. It turned out perfect, beautiful, and ready for my big day! Thank you so much! I will make sure to recommend you to everyone that I can.

Laura and D'Anita were so helpful and fun to work with. They had a great understanding of what our bride was looking for, what they had on hand, and how to size her. They helped us stay in our budget and made us feel special. I highly recommend this Boutique!

I came into the shop a month or so ago, desperate to find a dress as-is due to some unfortunate alterations that left my original dress unusable. I had less than 2 months to find something, and these ladies went above and beyond, pulling dress after dress and even went as far as to book me an appointment with two other shops when I wasn't having any luck. I ended up finding my dream dress at another shop and I 100% would not have ended up there without the help from the ladies at the Bragging Bride.

Laura at the Bragging Bride is absolutely wonderful. Bubbly, down to earth, and a great listener, she seamlessly heard my ideas and secured me my dream Jenny Yoo dress for my wedding day. After feeling disappointed that Calgary’s Anthropologie store doesn’t carry any wedding dresses, I couldn’t believe that this stunning, never-been-worn gown was tucked away waiting for me at the Bragging Bride. And Laura of course made this day truly unforgettable! From working on her own 34th wedding anniversary, to celebrating the moment with my mom on FaceTime, to giving me a crying discount! I am so incredibly grateful. Do not overlook this hidden gem in Calgary’s vast bridal dress scene!

I had the best experience here! The women are so nice and so fun. A lot of bridal boutiques are kinda snooty and very serious, but these women were so fun!
They nailed my style so quickly too. They kept bringing me more dresses that I just LOVED! I would decide on one dress and then they’d find another that I loved even more!
And the prices for the dresses are phenomenal and can’t be beat by much. I would recommend this place to anyone

Laura was amazing. I liked her straight up honesty. After trying on a number of dresses I found the perfect dress and within my budget. Thank you Laura.

My friend and I came into Adore today looking for a dress for a wedding. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted and asked how we could be helped. Within minutes a few of the sales associates had a dressing room full for us.
We spent a few hours there and didn’t feel rushed at all. We had a hard time picking just one dress so I decided to buy two!
I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and attentive the staff was it was so refreshing. A bonus to support local
This store has it all !

I came to the store with my friend and was just looking around. We came to the jewelry rack and my friend asked "are these cufflinks?". The girl seller who was standing there replied "those are earrings and we don't sell anything for men". While my friend had piercings. We walked away. I heard her tone and it was absolutely unacceptable for a person doing her job as a sales assistant. I have never seen a manifestation of misandry in real life, but thank you to your store for that! (no, it's disgusting). I don't recommend this store to anyone and will never come here again.

Adorable store! Clean and well organized. The woman working was friendly and helpful, but didn't hover.
The selection is wonderful, so many cute dresses! I was able to find the perfect dress for my upcoming wedding in record time!
Thank you!

Similar to other people’s experiences under the reviews, the customer service here needs improvement. Walked in and even after 10 min was not greeted or approached as the employees did with other customers that came in before or after me. There were a few employees working and it felt intentional who they spoke to vs ignored. Lots of beautiful pieces that I wanted to try but felt shy and unwelcomed and had to walk away.

went here with my parents they were finding clothes for themsleves 4 nice kind ladies worked here the one with the glasses on helped my parents btw im a man leaving this review just in case you write back.

Thank you so much to Amanda Lina’s for making my wedding dress dreams come true. I’ve wanted to visit for so long, and I’m beyond grateful to have found the one here! The experience was truly magical… from the stunning variety of gowns to the warmth, expertise, and professionalism that helped me find my perfect dress so quickly.

I am grateful that I was able to bring my entire group who mean the world to me. We had the entire shop to ourselves, complete with champagne, water, and chocolate…the most magical touch that made the day even sweeter.

A special thank you to Kim for making my experience so seamless and memorable. Her attention to detail, patience, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. She made this big decision feel easy, exciting, and entirely stress-free.

I’m so thankful to have found my dream dress at my dream shop… I can’t wait for it to come in and for my first fitting! 💫👰🏻‍♀️🤍

Amanda Lina’s was a great experience from beginning to end - Maria was a perfect consultant, so professional, attentive and kind. She listened to me and respected my taste and choices, she didn’t rush me and was supportive when I was ready to say “yes”. Rita did a great job with the alterations - I felt comfortable and supported in my dress all day

The alterations done to mine and my mother’s dress at Amandalina’s Bridal are nothing short of perfection!
I want to Express my gratitude to the Staff….Nancy, Rita, Bonnie, and anyone else who was involved in the preparations of my dress!
Rita has an eye for detail, every stitch was precision with an ability to create the perfect final product!
Nancy’s support and expertise made me feel very comfortable through the whole process.
From start to finish Nancy and Rita’s attention to detail skill and professionalism really stood out.
The whole process felt absolutely magical!
It’s rare to find people who could combine talent care and extraordinary customer service.
I came out of a Amandalina’s feeling And looking like a goddess!
Nancy, Rita, Bonnie and the rest of the staff at amandalina’s, you are truly truly outstanding!

Update : I have attached a photo of my dress . Lovely experience purchasing my Bridal Gown a few weeks ago. My sales associate was lovely, I wish I remembered her name but she had long black hair, was very sweet. I was able to stick within my budget as well, and I am confident I would return to this boutique again! Thank you Rita , and staff

I had a truly wonderful experience at Amanda-Lina’s! The boutique is beautiful and has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

I was lucky to work with Kim during my appointment, and I can't say enough great things about her! She was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and made me feel so comfortable and confident.

I would highly recommend Amanda-Lina’s to any bride-to-be!
