Wedding Favors

The Design Co made our wedding dreams become a reality! We highly recommend them for a wedding or an event.
Sarah,
I could say so much about your brilliance, talent, and impressive skills, but the thing you should be most proud of is how you make your couples feel comfortable and secure throughout the process. We've faced stress many times, but every time we felt overwhelmed, a chat with you always helped us relax. Your calm and kind assurance that you'd handle the details made all the difference.
Our wedding day exceeded our wildest dreams, and we can't thank you enough for guiding us on what would make the biggest impact while reassuring us about the things we could live without.
Mel,
Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers and candles on our wedding day! We expected our bouquets and boutonnieres to be good, but when we walked down the aisle, we were absolutely floored. The floral arch at our ceremony was stunning and left us in awe. We deeply appreciate all the hard work and attention to detail you put into creating such a breathtaking display.
The flowers didn't just wow us—they wowed our guests too! We received countless compliments at the reception on how beautiful and well-arranged the floral and decorations were. From the ceremony to the reception, the flowers and all the candles were a standout highlight of our big day. We can't thank you enough for the stunning arrangements.
We felt super relaxed going into our wedding day knowing everything was taken care of by The Design Co team for set up and take down and kept everything organized throughout the day.

Our wedding day was by the far the most special day of our lives. Sarah and Melissa literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. We planned a non traditional wedding, and every idea we brought forward was met with an action plan and excitement. They truly thought about everything and my mind was at ease through the entire planning process and day because I knew I was in great hands. Thank you Sarah, Melissa and Design Co. for everything.

Sarah and Mel were absolutely wonderful to work with. Their attention to detail, eye for beauty and coordination skills are unequivocally the best. They went above and beyond in the planning of our wedding day, and on the day of - there is not a single thing they didn’t look after - from helping me last minute when my bridal hairdo became undone, calming a very nervous bride (me) with the help of Sarah’s very zen self and amazing yoga instructor skills, coordinating vendors, music, caterers - making sure we had time to ourselves to sit and enjoy - on top of just being SO friendly and so well liked by all our guests. They thought of every single aspect, and our wedding day was absolutely flawless. I cannot recommend them enough, they truly made our wedding day perfect - we could not have done this without them. Thank you Sarah and Mel, you are wedding planning experts (but also real life angels). 10/10 recommend

Sarah & Mel — such a fab team, they truly compliment each other and do such a great job covering different ends of the biz. It was such a pleasure to work with them, they helped bring my vision to life and provided the exact services we needed for our wedding weekend. Shout of to Lexie too — always kind, prepared, and communicative. Thanks ladies, can’t wait to see how your biz continues to grow and thrive!

For my wedding, Erin Carmichael (co-owner and florist) provided us with boutonnières that died after 1 hour so we couldn't even take pictures with them. It's very disappointing since she charged us $20 for each boutonnière. When we complained, Stacey (co-owner) said: "flowers are living things and they die". When we emailed Erin some time later, she said: "I am happy to refund you" and "I will send the refund later today". But after that she ignored us and never refunded us, despite multiple reminders. Bad service.

The bouquets also died after a couple hours and looked too sad for pictures. When you pay so much for flowers ($125-200 per bouquet), you want to be able to take pictures with them but our photographers said they looked too tired. And it wasn't even hot that day.

Another issue we had with the florist is the backdrop behind our sweetheart table. We asked for 2 cherry blossom trees and a chandelier. She charged us $850 and the result was completely different than what we discussed. $850 for a few fake branches attached to a copper pipe, and a crooked chandelier which wasn't even on. Again, very disappointing. When we complained about it, she said: "I am very confused as to why you were unhappy with your head table backdrop" and then: "I stand behind what we provided".

Floral design is way overpriced and the flowers don't last. When you complain, they get defensive and blame it on you. Their creative freedom is more important than what the bride and groom ask.

Bouquet design and the centrepieces were nice.

If you have children, please take them here, the store is the true Christmas miracle especially them. Even if you walk in here in the middle of summer, it will still screams Christmas and the atmosphere will make your heart feel like you’re in the Christmas season. This is one of the most unique and European Christmas store that I’ve been to in Canada. The walking space is a bit tight, but in return, there are tons of good good stocks and everyone will be able to find themselves something unique. The store also has two parts, one with the vintage, classic style that was also really beautiful and coquette.

Without a doubt the most amazing, inspiring and breathtaking shop out there. I love Christmas and I’ve shopped in stores all over Europe. The Tinseltown Christmas emporium is right up there with quality and presence. I’m so impressed. I bought so many items I’ve not seen before.

This store... WOW! Such a beautiful experience! I got myself the most beautiful and unique Christmas ornaments, and I was so happy. The staff at the store are fantastic, they are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are not overwhelming at all to their customers and can read your minds if you would like help or not.
There are so many unique gifts and decorations. Great for stockings and home decor, I will definitely be going back.

The only somewhat negative thing I have to say about the store is that there isn't a lot of walking space. If you have a bag, it's better you leave it within your car before you get inside. You might bump into items and knock valuable items over. To give an idea... I had to side step through some aisles. I heard an older woman knocking items over, but regardless, the staff were not upset. They tended the older woman and made sure she was okay before checking to see if the items were broken (and nothing broke).

Besides that... please go! It's such a great store with so many goodies. Marie Antoinette is connected to this store, so you get a fun experience to see both stores.

Today I stopped by Tinseltown. If you love Christmas or anything to do with Christmas, you have to shop here. They have everything! They are colour-coded there by fashion type. I guess. they have vintage. It’s amazing ornaments stuffy’s. They have drink mixes. They have anything you can imagine. Check out the pictures I post they have an online store. It’s incredible. The staff is awesome. Just go go for the day and look around that you can’t walk out with buying something. It’s great.

Beautiful Christmas decorations! It’s amazing how they use every single space in the store while maintaining a structured sectioning by colour and type of decoration. The halls are tiny, but giving four stars would be unfair.

Today, when my friend and I passed by the Vivid Beige window display, my attention was immediately drawn to this dress. I was looking for an evening gown to wear to an event. The shop assistant kindly introduced me to many different styles, and I finally chose this red dress. The fabric is very comfortable, and the design is unique. I really like it, and I hope to visit often in the future.

My daughter and I visited the store for a mother of the bride dress and Judy provided us with the best experience! Her knowledge of the style of dresses she’s showed us, matched the theme of my daughter’s wedding. She made the experience very enjoyable and made us feel special from the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. We will definitely be back, and be referring to our friends and family.

I was recently on the hunt for a dress to wear to a holiday party. After going to several malls and stores I stumbled on to this fantastic hidden gem of a store. Judy is fantastic. She can take one look at your body shape and make recommendations on outfits that would look fabulous on you. Every single thing she brought to the change room fit me perfectly. I went in for one holiday dress and came out with three different outfits for work. It would have been more but I had run out of time! I am so glad I discovered this amazing store.

I was shopping for a Mother of the Bride dress and getting discouraged until we found Vivid Beige. Judy gave us amazing service, the selection of dresses was the best we had seen anywhere in the city and the prices were competitive to other shops, maybe even better for the designer collection she had. I left with a beautiful gown and will definitely be back to check out the rest of the store!

After striking out at so many other stores, i found this one and I was so happy. Judy was absolutely amazing. I was looking for a dress for a wedding that was black tie optional, and she provided so many amazing choices. She got me to try dresses that i never normally would have, and i absolutely loved them. Instead of buying one dress, i bought 3 and a jumpsuit. As once she figured out what i liked, she brought me other options (i now have 2 dresses for wedding, a little black dress (which you always need) and a killer jumpsuit. Thank you, Judy! You were amazing.

I highly recommend this beautiful store. I had to get a bouquet last minute and I was so happy I came across this place as she put time and effort to give me exactly what I wanted. She was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you very much💛

Amazing place I was so happy that I discovered it. I Just got my sunflower and bamboo sticks and I will go back later for a Jasmine plant.
The owner is very nice ❤️

I highly recommend this plant shop. I’ve been a loyal customer for years. I often gift bouquets to friends and family from WW and they are always perfect. I am an air plant collector and it all started because of WW’s. It’s very rare I find air plants ive never seen, so when WW’s posted about a new and unique shipment this past week, I was so excited. I went yesterday and the selection was better than I could have imagined. I had fun spending time looking at all of the air plants and making tough decisions about what to bring home. I’ll probably go back today for more!! Thanks for being awesome Wild Willy’s

Highly recommend going here.
I was pleased by how much plants I could choose from and at extremely affordable prices. Definitely would biy plants from here again! They take good care of them !

Stopped by for the first time today and managed to find my dream plant and some extras! The man working was also very kind. The shop itself is lovely and has an amazing selection. Absolutely will be returning!

I can’t believe how efficient Alta vista flowers are. Within a few hours my order I made online was delivered and zero delivery charge. The pot of anthuriums was beautiful, fresh and had a bud. Highly recommended and I will use again.
Thank you for making my daughter’s birthday special with this delivery.

I’m so pleased with the beautiful bouquet that was sent to my mother for her birthday. I am out of town and was hoping to surprise my mom with flowers on her birthday and they’ve done nothing short of a beautiful arrangement and perfectly timed delivery to make my mom’s day so special. The florist is extremely talented and coordinated colours and flowers so perfectly. The handwritten card was a nice touch, can’t thank you enough for everything!

I love these people. I just wish there were an Alta Vista Flowers in every city. But alas, when in Ottawa, this is where I go.

Dave delivered flowers to my parents today, and because it's -1Billion° outside and they weren't home yet, he went WAY above and beyond and found them a warm home in the neighbour's house until my folks could collect them later. He was in full communication with my folks and they knew exactly what was up with their bouquet. Stellar doesn't even begin to describe the care these guys take.

And I ordered the "chef's choice" as it were, leaving the creativity up to the florist.
And. They. Are. Stunning!

Always always primo service and product from these wonderful people. Always.

Wonderful service, they left a very thorough delivery description that let me know exactly where and when the flowers were dropped off.
I ordered the standard wrapped bouquet without knowing what it would look like so I was a bit nervous- but I had no need, the flowers were stunning.
And the cupcake that I ordered with the bouquet looked beautiful too, it was decorated to look like flowers- a very cute touch.
The recipient was so happy that I know I'll be ordering from here again.

If you’re looking to get flowers in Ottawa this is the place to go! I come here whenever I need an arrangement and it always comes out better than I imagined. The staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. I ordered a corsage for my niece for an event and audibly gasped when I came to pick it up. So beautifully done and so creative, my niece was over the moon!

I booked Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my baby shower and they completely blew me away! Working with their team was such a pleasure — the booking process was seamless, and they offered so many beautiful options to choose from.

The final setup was a stunning blue-themed floral spread inspired by high tea, and it exceeded all expectations. My guests and I were absolutely in love with both the presentation and the food — everything was incredibly delicious.

This is a 20/10 experience, and I would recommend them to anyone planning an event. I’ll definitely be using them again in the near future. A big thank you to Katie and her team for making my shower so special!

Katie, was here to set up the amazing grazing table for my daughters bridal shower and when she was done, it was spectacular and phenomenal. The guests were totally surprised and amazed to the detailed work she did. Using Brie & Banquet Wild Catering Co. for my daughters bridal shower made the day even more perfect! Thank you so much again and I will definitely use you again.

Wonderful display of delicious goodies for my daughter’s bridal shower. All the guests were enamoured by the flavours and presentation of all the food! I highly recommended Brie And Banquet Catering. Thank you for making this day so special.

Made a very special day even better. We used their services for the morning of my daughter's wedding as the bridal party was getting ready at our house. Katie arrived at 6:30AM and the display and food was absolutely amazing. Everyone was thrilled. Thank-you.

My mom & fiancé’s mom catered my bridal shower with Brie & Banquet & it was an absolute dream for me & all of our guests. I couldn’t have imagined a prettier display. They did an absolutely fantastic job setting up quickly before I arrived, and made the spread look like a dream with florals, and cute display cards. I highly, highly recommend this company!

This is a lovely little shop with all kinds of products made in Canada. We were in Ottawa for a short visit and came across this shop on Google map selling Canadian products. The products are arranged by provinces. There are handmade maple leaves coasters which are our favourite. They are made of glass with real maple leaves fused inside the glass. It definitely feels like you are bringing a part of Ottawa home.

There are also beautiful jewelleries and other more common souvenirs such as keychains, magnets, etc. Definitely lots to look at inside a little shop that is conveniently located at Byward Market.

The shopkeeper, Anne (hope I remembered your name correctly) was super helpful and kind. She provided lots of tips in picking what I bought to bring home. Thank you. Will definitely come back next time we are in Ottawa again.

I visited here October 8, 2022. Before visiting Canada, I saw a list of foods one should definitely try, and one item was Saskatoon Prairie Berries. I thought I would not find it in Ottawa, and so was thrilled when the owner said yes, she did have this.

I also bought Canada True brand Maple Cream Cookies, and Turkey Hill Maple Green Tea, and now back home I notice the price I paid for these two is the same as the best online retail price so that is nice, and was quite reasonable in any case.

In all a wonderful store with a great selection of Canada products.

I visited Canada in a basket today and had a truly wonderful experience! The selection of unique gifts is impressive, and I found so many items that caught my eye. The shop has a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a pleasure to be there

The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help me find the perfect gift. I left feeling happy and excited about my purchase. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the lovely items they have to offer!

Highly recommend this gem of a shop!

Very good place to get souvenirs. Items feel of good quality without being boutique or something, which also implies a little higher price, but it's totally worth it and accesible.

Staff was super friendly upon arrival. A girl with Dark hair had helped me out. She was fantastic. Super helpful and attentive. I came in two Mondays ago! Great customer service!!

Gaby at Dulce Cake Design is incredible to work with. Not only did she communicate with us promptly about our wedding cake order, she is very knowledgeable, and kind! Our wedding cake turned out to be even more beautiful than what I had envisioned and it was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Dulce Cake Design.

As a Wedding Planner, Gaby's cakes are my GO TO for clients who want an exceptional cake that is also a work of art. If you are looking for a luxury wedding cake than Dulce Cake Design is THE choice for Ottawa couples. I am a big fan of her dessert displays as well. They are not only delicious but beautiful. PLUS Gaby is one of the nicest people you will meet, you will want her on your wedding vendor team for sure!

Gabriela nailed my wedding cake and cupcakes! All the guests abosuletly loved the salted caramel cupcakes, there was none left by the end of the night. The wedding cake was equally as delicious. If you want a simple/small wedding cake it is quite affordable as well!

We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect wedding cake! Gaby absolutely nailed it — the cake was gorgeous, incredibly delicious, and truly a showstopper. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and not a single piece was left behind (which says it all!). From the design to the flavor, every detail was flawless. Gaby’s talent and passion shine through in her work, and we’re so grateful she was part of our big day. Highly, highly recommend!

Gabriela from Dulce Cake Design, was amazing to work with, and she created a beautiful cake for our wedding. We were very happy that we had the option to choose from a wide variety of unique flavours (we chose lemon and raspberry and are so happy we did). Gabriela also designed and created small favour cakes for our guests to take home, and they were all pleasantly surprised.

Great customer service from Ivy! She was super helpful and able to quickly action 2 beautiful funeral floral arrangements within 48 hours based on budgetary constraints and specific colour requests (we're from Montreal and Miami so really appreciated the payment method accommodation). The final product photos that she texted the day before delivery was also a very nice gesture, thank you!

Amazing service, I called with a slightly
strange delivery request, and they went above and beyond to help me make it happen.
The flowers were gorgeous, they really made my friends birthday so special!
Cannot recommend Evangeline Flowers enough!!!

10/10 experience at Evangeline Flowers! The owner Ivy was a wonderful woman who helped me pick the perfect bouquet for my mothers birthday. This shop is not even close to my house, but it is worth the drive!!!

I went to Evangeline Flowers looking for a bouquet for my sons graduation. I was looking for something a little bit less girly, and I was very impressed! The owner, Ivy, suggested we ordered in some blue roses…they turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you to you all!

Definitely going back to this flower shop, the florists are very kind and gave me a beautiful display of lilly’s and orchard arrangements. My sister loved them for her birthday. Would recommend this flower shop to everyone 10/10.

Marlow is my favourite place to get flowers! Nicole always does such a great job and all the staff are so friendly! Would 100% recommend Marlow to anyone looking for flower arrangements

Marlow Floralworks is my go-to shop for everything floral. The service is always top-notch, the pricing is incredible, and the products are consistently fresh and beautiful. Whether it’s a last-minute bouquet or something custom, they always deliver. Highly recommend!

This is a wonderful, magical place ! Myself and my co worker had a generous gift card for this shop from one of our students and we were excited to walk over and see what they had that could spruce up our Montessori classroom. We were welcomed by a warm, friendly and knowledgeable staff named Nicole who helped us find the perfect plants! She showed us the secret room upstairs that was quite a little sanctuary and she helped us with are instructions. Nicole is the best ! I would highly recommend Marlow's flowers for all your plant and gift needs and if you have a coffee and want to sit in a peaceful area go check out their little garden nook around the corner ! Thank you Nicole !

Marlow is my go-to floral spot in the city. Everyone is always so helpful and kind and the florals are so unique. Diana was exceptionally helpful today and made a perfect bouquet for my Grandmother’s 92nd birthday. Thank you.

I had such a great experience with the owner and florist. She custom made a bouquet that suited the needs of who I was giving them to with thought, care, and exquisite flowers. I would recommend Marlow Floral Works if you want a thoughtful gift or a beautiful arrangement to enjoy yourself.

Some of the staff was really rude and when trying to ask a question , getting responses that made me feel like I was stupid for asking. Furthermore, I was starting to feel untrusted in the store when I had them falling me over because I was lost on what I needed but didn't dare ask them for help any longer. I believe they were quick to judge people. And made a point of letting a person know when your not wanted in their store. Worst experience ever coming from a small town that o would normally praise that the small town stores normally give excellent customer service. So anyone looking for those building materials etc just stick to the canadain tire around the corner

I’ve been in a few times and they were very helpful. I went in today to spend $130 and as walked in a young sales assistant told me enthusiastically I had to have my reusable bag at the checkout.! I assume they were pre-accusing me of being a thief which doesn’t leave a great taste in the mouth. Never had any store do this before and not sure why I was humiliated at the entrance when I was happy to support a local store. Will not be going back.

The guy in charge of closing the store at this store location on August 26, 2025 at 7:54pm, should be retrained in customer service. I approached to enter the store at 7:54pm and he could not let me in because he felt I was too late and the store was closing in 5mins. I have gone to other stores like Walmart and just a minute before closing and they have let me in. I am very disappointed by this treatment. I have had very pleasant experience shopping at this store in the past and really treated well by other customer associates, but this fella's understanding of good customer service leaves much to be desired.

Always friendly and kind staff
Always clean
Well stocked with everything you can imagine for building
Their flowers in the summertime are always the best
Very well stocked in planting seeds in store

Troy is a great employee. He helped out my wife and myself with a new smoker. We want to say thank you

Abdul and his team truly brought our vision to life and surpassed our expectations. After the initial consult, we showed Abdul a couple photos to show him the overall vibe and vision that we had, and he designed the most beautiful backdrop for our head table at our Vietnamese reception. Thank you Abdul and your team for your efficient, breathtaking, superior work!!!! I will always recommend you to my clients, friends and family!

Abdul is very experienced and knows what will look good and what won’t. I shared with him my vision and he provided his suggestions to make it even better. I fully trusted him and am extremely pleased with his services. I highly recommend Abdul for your wedding decor needs!

Beautiful decorations thanks to Abdul and his team for making our daughters first Sri Lankan Saree Ceremony decoration at Rio Banquet Hall it was so beautiful all the guests who attended couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the decorations looked thank you again Abdul for being very patient, kind, honest, and very understanding we appreciate it very much!

They were so amazing to work with during our wedding. They went above and beyond for our wedding decor and we are so appreciative of Abdul’s help with everything. Thank you!

Abdul and his team at superior wedding decor did an amazing job of taking care of everything at the TCF annual fundraising gala. This is the third time we chose to go with them because of their professionalism. Abdul took out the time to listen to our requests and requirements and gave us honest suggestions. We highly recommend this business as they truly pay attention to detail and deliver everything timely.

I highly recommend checking out the Bridal Centre. It’s a very beautiful venue. I had my appointment with Katie. She was very kind and helpful. She gave suggestions for alterations to make the dresses look and fit the way I envisioned. This was my first dress appointment and I found the one. I will be using some of Katie’s ideas for the alterations as well. Thank you so much for making me feel comfortable and finding my dress :)

Cecilia was WONDERFUL!! I am so happy she was the one helping me find my wedding dress! Cecilia knew exactly what I was looking for and pulled the most beautiful dresses for me to try on, all while making sure myself and my group were taken care of. It was a lovely experience, and I would definitely recommend booking!

Excellent place for anything wedding or graduation dresses. The seamstress that did the alterations was amazing and even went above and beyond. She fixed the flower on my daughter's bridal shoes. She also taught my other daughter the miad of honour how to fix the bustle on her wedding dress. We are so pleased that we choose The Bridal Centre in Calgary for my daughter's special day!

Cecilia was AMAZING!! Truly I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience trying on dresses for the first time. Listened to everything I was saying and asking, and truly focused on me throughout the whole appointment. Gave me alternate options and was able to give me options and show me different ways to change dresses and make a dress exactly my dream dress!! Would recommend to EVERYONE I know !! (:

Using my fiances gmail to write this review - I had a bridal appointment with Diana and needless to say she was absolutely wonderful. So lovely, kind and supportive. The selection was amazing and she pulled all the right dresses for me. Overall an incredible experience and would absolutely recommend brides in Calgary come here!

Amazing store! Obviously they have loads of interesting cards for literally any occasion, but you can also find puzzles, painting supplies, fun party items, quality notebooks, calendars, ribbons, lux wrapping paper, colourful envelopes, and many gift items. Their seasonal items are also something to look forward to, especially before Christmas.

I’ve just returned from Ottawa’s The Papery store and was absolutely delighted once again, by the friendly staff, variety of occasion cards, gifts and art supply section.
Just picked up a water colour set ( for me) and a 5-year journal ( as a birthday gift for my sister) along with a few fabulous cards.
Everything is such a high quality, at reasonable costs… lots of Canadian products too!
Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Just drop in - I’m sure you won’t leave empty handed.

Lots of quality, unique products here. Found exactly what I was looking for, and they had a good variety to choose from. (I was looking for origami paper, but they seem to have everything related to paper or writing. It’s like a candy store for paper. Check out their website for available products.) Well worth a visit. Parking is tight so grab whatever spot you see within walking distance.

I'm really surprised they don't have a larger assortment... of paper. They seem to be focused on greeting cards and gifts. They just didn't have anything suitable for my purpose paper-wise. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The Papery is a fun shop at the corner of Bank and Fifth. It has been open for years now and sells all sorts of interesting things. From cards to calligraphy pens and paper, puzzles, party supplies, and lots of interesting curios that would make any celebration special. This has always been my go-to store to check every now and then for interesting curios or fun cards. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Glebe.

Super happy with how our wedding florals turned out! The designer listened to what we asked for and delivered. The whole process was smooth and easy from the initial consultation to the execution. Can’t recommend them enough!

Beautiful flowers, great staff and customer service. My boyfriend buys flowers for me from Yara flowers all the time and I am never disappointed. 100% recommend

Have gotten two bouquets from Yara Flowers about a year and a half apart, both around $30 and absolutely beautiful. I just called ahead and said I have a budget of $30, the second time I paid over the phone and ran in as parking is impossible downtown after 3:00! Store owner is very sweet and accommodating.

First time ordered flowers 2 years ago and everything was good. Last year they were closed and I ordered flowers from Ukrainian girl in Instagram much cheaper.
This years I ordered delivery and flowers delivered without card and food for flowers.
Next year will order from Ukrainian girl.

Very misleading the photos and what you actually get. For $80 I would expect a way nicer arrangement. The bouquet is probably half the size shown in photos. Missing half the flowers shown (roses, baby’s breath, whatever the lilac colored flowers are, the lime green flowers...). What a scam. Avoid this place.

I got my wedding dress from David’s Bridal, and the moment I saw it, I knew it was the one. After trying it on, I decided to make a few changes—transforming it into an off-shoulder gown with removable straps, giving me three styling options: off-shoulder, with straps, or strapless. The alterations team at David’s Bridal made this possible through several appointments, and they transformed my dress beautifully. On my wedding day, it fit flawlessly and perfectly captured the elegance I had imagined. I am truly grateful to the alterations team for their skill and dedication in making my dress both dreamy and stunning.

My bride tribe (including flower girls) and I went to try on dresses. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on. I did try on 3 in total and turned away 1. My girls looked fabulous. The bridal party is wearing a beautiful Red Corset dress (they didn’t have the right colour to try on but the bright dress). They look very gorgeous and sexy. The flower girls look so sweet and angelic in their sweet white dresses and veils. I love my dress and feel like a princess (I’ve been given tons of compliments).
The staff were friendly and helpful. Our appointment was from 1:30-3:30pm but we did go over by about 2 -ish hours by the time we got out of there. We got to look at dresses and we told them the ones we liked and consultant grabbed the ones we liked in our size. We even took her thoughts as well. Everything was simple and easy. There was a bit of a technology problem when cashing out (they got it figured out quickly). They have a large selection of shoes/footwear at a great price point. I highly recommend. I did get to speak to the seamstress and prices seemed reasonable from the quote I was given. This review is solely based on my initial interaction with them. I will add more reviews when the bridal parties dresses come in and when we do alterations.
My first experience I would give a . 10/10. We all had a good time and created some amazing memories. Was also offered water too. They were very accommodating.
Staff were professional and calm. They also would joke around and have a fun charismatic atmosphere.
Great prices on the dresses all the way around.

I had the most wonderful experience at David's Bridal today, thanks to the amazing help from Saida! She was incredibly patient, warm, and attentive throughout the entire appointment. With her support, I found the dress — my dream wedding gown! I truly felt heard, supported, and celebrated. Thank you, Saida, for making such an important moment in my life so joyful and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Megan helped me find my dream wedding dress! what I had been searching for for months she was able to find me in just a few minutes. My wedding was Perfect and Ive never felt more beautiful! Thank you!!!

I was really happy with the purchase of my bridesmaid dress, and I thought the price was reasonable, but when it came to the alterations which were almost double the cost of the dress I was pretty shocked. I was even more surprised when the dress was way too tight to the point of pain and the cups that I paid to have sewn in … the stitches didn’t stay. I’m thankful I took off the fee for steaming because I didn’t even have to. I was really happy with the purchase side of the entire experience, but not the alterations. I have another wedding coming up that I’m a bridesmaid in again and I will potentially be buying my dress from here, but will definitely not get my alterations done there!

Nice location, lot of books, can add more place to sit.

Miss the book stores nowadays, it is nice to hold, browse and read books. Buy them ofcourse.

The store sells few dress items, bags, cups, notebooks and few other items. Cross selling.

Indigo is our favourite store to buy books, plushes, candles, and teacher’s gifts. They have cool toys and candies that are not easily found anywhere. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Specifically in this branch, the cashier in the first floor is usually closed and you have to pay upstairs. Sometimes it’s also difficult to get help in the first floor, all staff is in usually in the second floor.

I love going to this place. I discovered a whole another part of the Library when I decided to take the escalator up and it looked so magical. They have such beautiful collection of mugs, candles, pillows, merchandise and other accessories. The book collection in itself is fabulous. The only thing I wished was the stuff to be a bit pocket friendly. Regardless, I Absolutely love the vibe of this place!!! Also you can relax on the sofas and read whichever books you'd like and put them back in their place. Cool yeah!

Indigo in Ottawa, Ontario, located right in the heart of the city, is truly a gem for book lovers. Every time I visit, I discover so many amazing books that I can’t wait to add to my collection. The prices are great, and the atmosphere is so inviting—it always smells wonderful inside. The staff is friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. There’s something about the cozy, book-filled atmosphere that sparks new thoughts and ideas, making you reflect on things you hadn’t considered before. The selection is excellent, with a wide range of books and products to choose from. It’s a place I always look forward to visiting, and I leave inspired every time!

It was an amazing store, the lady at the till was great, and the selection is awesome! The only thing is that me and my friends all bought books, and we were sitting while I was just finishing briefing a book. Then 2 of my friends dozed off and a Karen lady who worked there with red hair and tattoos woke them up and told them they weren’t allowed to sleep. I’d understand if we weren’t customers but we literally bought a bunch of stuff and were reading books and she was pretty dismissive about the whole thing. The atmosphere was ruined so we just left. But the store itself is fantastic I just wish that the lady was a little more personable

I am so in love with Mille Fiore. My partner purchased a bouquet for my birthday in January with orchids and it had to have been one of the most beautiful bouquets I have ever seen in my life. Then today, he had a large arrangement delivered foe our one year anniversary! I was so surprised, and the arrangement was equally as stunning and beautiful. I can't wait for the Lilies and Peonies to open up.

I also want to thank the man who delivered them. Had I known what it was for, I would have ran down to get the flowers, because they were so heavy.

Thank you for the wonderful creativity and service.

I know where I will be getting flowers from in the future for my special occasions!

I've come to this florist twice now with no regrets - beautiful arrangements, lasting flowers, prices reasonable. Rima is a wonderful and thoughtful person who takes much pride in providing beautiful arrangements. I bought many individually wrapped roses to give to important persons in my life and the added eucalyptus branch was just gorgeous. I do not hesitate for one moment to recommend to friends, family and all of you reading this review. Merci beaucoup!

Mille Fiore is the best flower shop in the city! Each bouquet is unique, beautiful and so full of life and colours. Rima and Tony are so talented! Will never buy flowers anywhere else!

Mille Fiore responded to a last minute request with a gorgeous bouquet delivered gracefully and compassionately to the cemetery. They are good people and have excellent products. Thank you!

Mille Fiore has been my family's go-to florist for years, and I can honestly say that we have never once been disappointed by the beauty, generous sizing and freshness of their floral arrangements. I would absolutely recommend this business to all. (Please note, no affiliation, just a happy customer wanting to support local!)

Recently I was looking to pick up a bouquet on the way to a friend's birthday. Google showed me this sweet shop, just down the street from my house!

Decided to pop in & check it out, unaware that ready-to-go arrangements are not typical. (Oops!!) The owner & other staff were so amazing and quick to assure me they could make something.

I was asked 3 questions & in no time at all, this beautiful bouquet was created! My friend loves it, AND in a wild development, she told me this is the floral shop that she got her wedding flowers from 🤯🥰 and her Mom has been going to for years!!!

Thank you SO much for creating something so beautiful with zero notice (so sorry again!) and somehow being so kind & personable while you did it!

We will be back, but will order in advance next time! 😉🤭 THANK YOU!

I had such a great experience at Peaseblossoms today! I got an absolutely beautiful bouquet and had a lovely conversation with Marika, the owner. I got so many compliments when I was walking home with this bouquet and it feels great to support a local business. Calgary has some gems and this place is certainly one of them!

Peaseblossoms is my absolute GoTo florist for all my arrangement needs. Marika goes above and beyond for every occasion making sure to understand not just the reason behind the occasional but to understand the nuance of the order - including if there are any pets in the recipient’s home. Going into the shop is always a delight for the senses and you will always receive a warm and genuine welcome!! Thank you for always being so bright and creative!!

Absolutely love this flower shop! The arrangements are always fresh, beautifully put together, and last so long. The staff are warm, welcoming, and truly care about their customers. They go above and beyond to make sure every bouquet feels special.

Even during the construction chaos in the area, they’ve managed to keep everything running smoothly and deserve so much support. If you want stunning flowers and amazing service, this is the place to go! 💐✨

Beautiful bouquet (vase included), lovely lavender sachets, shower eucalyptus and chocolate. They worked with my mum, who is all the way in Australia to provide me with an amazing birthday suprise. Even though they are not usually open on a Monday, they still went above and beyond to get this gift to me on my birthday. Super accommodating and would highly recommend!

As a volunteer-run, Ottawa-based, registered charity providing free boat trips to seniors and people with special needs, our budget is tight. Mike and his team have been very helpful and efficient, producing all our branded t-shirts, caps, signage, promo materials, and more. We appreciate the quality at a reasonable price. Thanks from all of us at Catch A Smile!

I went into Print Well needing a project printed for an event on very short notice—and without a clear idea of what style or material would work best. They were incredibly helpful from the moment I walked in! They guided me toward the perfect board for my event and had it ready within an hour. The result was a beautiful, high-quality print that exceeded my expectations. Their efficiency and customer service were top-notch. I’ll definitely be bringing all my future printing needs to Print Well!

Worst customer service i have ever experienced, at first i emailed about the shipping delay to which i was never really replied untill i received my order. Than emailed back because the product was super badly executed, i asked for a refund since i had to buy another gift because of their mistake. He basicely (Mike) only answered me that he will fix the problem and than told me i will receive another set of glass, to which i clearly retold him i did not wanted another set and that i wanted a refund, i was never answered back after this…

Ashes to Rubies has been purchasing hoodies, tees, hats and signs from Printwell about 3 years now. Mike and team do great work. They've been responsive to communication over email, and in a hurry, by phone. I appreciate the mockups and clear invoicing. A few rare misprints have also been replaced without cost. Good work team!

Flyers, Tshirts, Hats, Signage....we've done it all at Printwell. Printwell has supported both Red Roots Trading Co as well as Zibi Smoke Co and we consider them our partner with merch and branding. Keep up the excellent work and the excellent customer service. Shout out to Mike who always takes special care of us.
