When Wing mentioned she was available to do makeup and hair for my big day, I decided to go for it, and I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend scheduling a trial with her--she's incredibly patient, takes the time to explain everything, and offers various options for makeup looks. On the wedding day, she was punctual and flawlessly recreated the look we discussed during the trial. Both the makeup and hair turned out beautifully. I wholeheartedly recommend Wing and her team!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!…read more I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found this gem of a place. Wing and her team have been phenomenal throughout our whole wedding planning process. I originally came here to look for dresses. At this point, I already had a dress in mind plus most of their dresses for rent/purchase were on the smaller end (Think: Asian sizing), so I didn't get a dress here but I was quite impressed by their selection of outfits, including wedding dresses, traditional Chinese outfits, reception dresses and even men's tuxes. I did, however, end up booking make-up and photography from them.  Let's talk about the make-up- I didn't cry when I found my dress but I felt so emotional during my make up trial. Wing really took her time to help me find a look I liked, and I felt so much like a bride. I also loved how the hair and make-up came with the engagement shoot as I am so very bad with hair, and she was able to make my skin look flawless in the photos even without photoshop. The day of, Wing and her team arrived to my house on time the day of (5:15am!!) to do my mom, MOH, 2 Bridesmaids and MC hair and makeup and they honestly did a great job for everyone. They use good products and none of us had any skin issues afterwards. I booked Wing for the entire night at the reception hall to help me change my looks and she always made sure I looked perfect. I felt so beautiful and got so many compliments that night.   Our photographer for both the engagement shoot and wedding day was Teddy. He was so great to work with; so easygoing and so hardworking. He made sure to get to know the wedding party by name so it felt more like working with a friend. He gave us suggestions for poses and angles, but made sure we got every shot that we wanted. Even at the end of the night he checked in with us before leaving, even though he was already overtime. My engagement pictures turned out SUPER cute, I still can't believe that was me in the photos and not an actual model! Can't wait to see my wedding day pictures.   I had a short engagement period but with Wing's help and suggestions for the timeline, dress alterations and even our officiant, our special day turned out perfect. They are such hardworking, flexible and honest people to work with, and as an added plus, SUCH GREAT VALUE! I am still over the moon with how wonderful everything turned out and I will definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone planning a wedding.

Since the day we were planning to shop was a 'closed' day, I called and made an appointment to come look at men's wedding bands. We were stood up! No one was there! I called the store's business number after 10 minutes waiting, left a message, and left. I later noticed that about 15 minutes after we left, the jeweler called and offered a very casual nonchalant apology claiming she had been held up in an appointment, and asking me to call to reschedule. Wow. Not only did this store fail to keep the appointment, they didn't seem to feel that bad about it or realize how disappointing and inconvenient this was for us! Completely unprofessional. We are looking for fairly standard rings and we had a friend's recommendation, so this in all likelihood would have been an easy sale, that they threw away. You've been warned!

Ryan's dedication ethics and integrity sets him apart from everyone working in the jewlery industry. Not only that but his love for community seeps through his pores.

Despite not having any need for an engagement or wedding band I have been lucky enough to see the work that Ryan has done for other clients, it's impeccable. I highly encourage you to check out FTJCO , you won't be disappointed.

Suzanne Crudden Jewellery is the BEST. From the moment I googled "custom jewellery Toronto" and…read morechecking out her website and appreciating her mission statement in recycling and re-purposing old jewellery, I knew that she was the one for me. I had my eternity band wedding ring (that had small diamonds all around it), and my solitaire engagement ring combined. It was the scariest and best decision of my life. I have been married for over a decade, and I could not help but notice how one's body changes - that included the size of ones ring finger. Knowing that I cannot change the band size of an eternity ring, I knew that I would need to do something drastic and radical. The entire process with Suzanne was so easy in every way. From the initial consultation, to the emails back and forth, wax model visit and the final product - everything was done to perfection and with the utmost professionalism. She does not waste one bit of your metal, diamond(s) and does everything at the highest level on all fronts. I cannot recommend Suzanne enough for all your jewellery needs.

I'm writing to express serious concerns regarding a recent order and the unacceptable handling of…read moremy attempts to resolve the issue. After placing an order, I immediately realized I had entered the wrong shipping address--an honest mistake on my part. I contacted your support team right away through the only available channel: live chat. I was assured the address would be corrected. To be thorough, I followed up again before the order shipped and was once more told it would go to the correct address. Even after the order was marked as shipped, I checked in again and received the same confirmation. Despite all these assurances, the package was delivered to the original, incorrect address. When I raised this issue, I was met with a dismissive response that included a monkey emoji and a casual "whoops." I was then told I could return the item--accompanied by a smile emoji. This tone was not only unprofessional but deeply frustrating. I realized I was speaking to a bot and requested to speak with a human. At that point, all communication stopped. My previous messages had been answered instantly--clearly by automation--but now, nothing. I followed up again, asking for a phone call, only to be told the company no longer wished to do business with me. I was then blocked. To make matters worse, all of my previous chat conversations were deleted before I could save them. I now have no way to reference those interactions, and I cannot reach anyone--there is no phone number available. This is especially disappointing because I am a loyal customer with multiple products from your company. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable--just to speak with a human being and resolve the issue fairly. I am requesting immediate attention to this matter, a proper resolution, and a direct line of communication with a human representative

Love Diane Kroe. Love it…read more If I had much more money than I actually do, I would rock some Diane Kroe every day. Practically everything in the store is in her signature jersey fabric; there's nothing more comfortable or flattering. Something about the way it's cut it makes me look amazing. They carry elegant basics-with-a-twist which are good for the office or paired with your latest Kensington find. These tend towards black, brown, cream, a few more seasonal solid colours (some elegant greens, right now). They also carry some sensational (and comfortable) dresses in a more colourful palette of solids and some bold patterns. I've never met the titular Diane, but her assistant designer is friendly, competent, and has a great eye. It's a very welcoming store, and there's no pressure - just help if you want it. Given some time, they can alter anything in the store or make one up in a different colour. Mwah. Now the bottom line - many of the separates are around the $100 -$150 mark. I should add that they wear amazingly well, so every once in a while I add an essential pair of black pants or a cool top to my wardrobe. I wish I could do it more often.

My daughter initially…read morewent to a bridal store for a prom dress only to find that she is a size 18 and the dresses were limited. Of course she was distraught and felt she was never going to find a dress. Well Dream put my daughter's mind at ease as she isn't a size 18 but a size 14! Bridal stores apparently have a much smaller sizing scale and Dream told her if she doesn't find anything else (in regular stores) to come back. The dress we truly liked for my daughter was a bit out of our price range and she didn't coerce us to buy, which is so refreshing. If you are looking for really nice plus size clothing that is not frumpy, this is a great place to start. Most items are very reasonable, prom dresses being as they are with all the bling are a bit pricier, but not ridiculous. Just wanted to let everyone know about this gem that's also run by a gem! Thanks Dream, you really live up to your name!

Natalie helped us by showing samples of the colours I had in mind and was extremely nice with any questions we had. She even suggested additional colours (Ammonite) that could be an alternate idea. After some discussion with my husband, we purchased two different sample pots (Elephants Breath and Ammonite). She also included a wallpaper sample I was looking into. It was neat to know that their wallpapers are done with their own in-house colours. Natalie had mentioned how to test our sample pots and we took her advice. Elephant Breath it is! It's a little on the pricy side with the paint but if you want good quality you have to pay for it! I'm willing to pay more just for the service alone.

The sales rep that afternoon (April 5) was just amazing! The quality of the products they have are amazing. Unfortunately, I was looking for a particular light shade of grey but the colours from F & B all have more of a cream colour look (not quite what I am looking for). Nevertheless, the quality of the paint and the customer service at the Toronto Showroom is exemplary! They even followed up with a phone call to check if there was any further assistance that I would need...I will definitely go back to F&B in the future and would highly recommend them!

They had marvellous Faux Fur Shawls for a winter wedding. They had lots of colours (Grey, White and some others) and the price was just right. I purchased two for $67.21. The owners were very nice as well. Since I needed two shawls of the same colour, the owners let me purchase one of each colour that I was debating between. I then took them to the dress store to see which colour looked better with the dresses. They let me come back the next day to exchange the colour I didn't need for the other colour so I would have two of the same. The owners were so sweet and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this store. I also received tons of complements on the faux fur shawls. No one could believe that they were about $35.00 each. I highly recommend this store. They also sell tons of cute hats for both summer and winter. It's definitely worth a visit :)

Not a good experience. I wanted to cry, but I was so frustrated that I held it in…read more They also bribe people to give 5 star reviews so do not trust their star rating. I am a plus size bride, wearing 18/20 street size. I stated this on the forum when booking my appointment and when the employee asked upon entrance. Although sizing had been discussed, a lot of the dresses I was handed in the change room were sizes 10-14 and I was not able to try them on. Either they wouldn't fit over my hips, or my arms wouldn't fit in armhole with the strap, or my arm just wouldn't fit into the sleeve. Trying to squeeze into a dress that's half your size in a dark changing room without assistance is not a good start. At one point I told the employee that one of the dresses I wasn't able to pull up, and she seemed surprise "oh really? Is the zipper undone all the way", I said I would double check, but yes it was undone all the way. I just don't think the size 10 dress was ready for my size 20 hips. Another dress was sleeveless but had a high illusion neckline and I was excited to try on, however my upper arms were not fitting into the arm holes as it was a size 14 and my upper arms are larger. I told the employee this from the dark room behind the curtain and her response was simply "how about we move to the next one then". Which was sad because I thought this one would look so good if only in a better size. At this point I was starting to feel that same dreaded feeling I use to get when trying to buy name brand clothes in middle school. Hadn't felt that shame in a decade. I stuck my head out and asked if they had any plus size dresses, as these tags seemed to be 10-12 or 14 and I am usually about a 20. She pointed to the rack we got the 14 from and said that was the plus size rack. When I was able to get my body into a dress it was still a size 16, the neckline area never fit and it was nearly impossible to "use my imagination on". Since the detailing didn't line up and it was making indents. There was one dress I did like. However it was a zipper back and I was told the "zipper is slippery" so it couldn't be done up. I don't know much about how bridal shops use dress clips but she didn't use any and barely did anything. She held the open back together for about 30 seconds as I looked in the mirror then walked away. The dress had sparkly spaghetti straps that were very long so they dropped and curved a bit. My mom was trying to get a photo so I could look at it later but as the employee wasn't doing much to make the dresses look as they would if they fit I was trying to pull the straps at the back so it would appear tighter and then holding my arms down so the bodice wouldn't fly open. Ugh I honestly felt like crying when I was in the dark changing room, I felt lost. I was barely getting any assistance. She wasn't helping the dresses look as they would once fitted, I felt helpless. Not being able to fit into dresses and not having any dresses my size even when My size had obviously been discussed made my confidence drop and made me feel ugly and gross. Which is definitely not what a wedding gown shop should do.
