The shop has a lot of natural lighting, and the big mirrors in the changeroom really help to view the styles. Theres a large selection, and when you book your appointment you can pick out styles of dresses you like and make notes as to what parts you like about them. Detailed!

Her appointment was at 1pm, and we were greeted once we entered the door. We were able to remove our shoes and help ourselves with a basket of different sized slippers. The stylist had already picked out some dresses for my friend to try as they emailed each other days before of the kind of style my friend was interested in. All the dresses were super nice and beautiful, the stylist was very knowledgeable in all the dresses my friend tried on. Unfortunately, my friend didn't say "yes" to any of the dresses, but it was such a great experience for my friend as she now knows what she really likes/dislikes for her next dress shopping experience.

Super thankful for her. They greet you with comfy crocs at the door, take your measurements and hand you an ipad of their website. This can be viewed ahead of time for their stock. You add all dresses you like to the cart, and they pick it out for you. There are at least two changerooms from what I saw, a basement for larger sizes, and the main floor which has smaller waist sizes. Looking at the options, I could barely tell it was a secondhand store!! All their options are either secondhand or unused sample gowns. They have some gems!

I loved the idea of a wedding dress having a second grand night, and with all profits going to charity it made it even better! I met with Emily and she was amazing. I had originally selected a few options to try on, but once I started telling her what I liked and didn't like she was able to provide me with options that were more suited to my taste. She ended up bringing a dress that wasn't even on the website yet and I fell in love immediately. It fit me so perfectly that I ended up only needing to get it shortened. Throughout the whole process I kept debating about the dress and put it on hold actually, but in the end I followed my gut and went with the most beautiful dress I tried on ever. Emily was such a rockstar through it all and really listened to me and my vision for the day even when I wasn't sure of what I wanted. She is like a fairy Godmother! I cannot recommend this place enough - one thing to note is that you do need to make an appointment. When I was there the first time, there was even someone from the States who came all the way to this store to find their dream dress (which they did). If you have been thinking of checking this place out, please do!

After reading some negative reviews for Sash & Bustle, I have to be honest my expectations were…read morerather low. However, I am happy to say I really enjoyed my bridal shopping experience here. First of all, the store itself is stunning. I also love how they offer a curated selection of wedding related accessories as well such as gorgeous silk dressing gowns, bridal jewelry, clutches, bridesmaid gifts, etc. The pricing is also reasonable in my opinion, with dresses in the $1000 - $5000 range. Our consultant, Hallie (spelling?) was very sweet and helpful. I really like how they allow you to select five gowns to try first by clipping a clothespin to the top of the hanger of the dresses you are interested in trying on. They have large racks of stunning dresses to choose from and also stock Canadian designers (love that!). Your choices are then set up beautifully in a change room to try on. Hallie was awesome and helped me get myself into all of the gowns I tried on. They also had shoes for me to borrow while trying on gowns (something I seem to always forget to bring with me!) which was very appreciated. Although I didn't say yes to the dress on this particular occasion, I did really love a gown that is in my budget and (almost) everything I want. Since I have a bit more time, I will do a bit more shopping but definitely will keep Sash & Bustle at the top of my mind! Our consultant also mentioned that they offer bridal styling appointments as well, even if you purchase your gown elsewhere. I will also keep them in mind for help with this in the event I don't get my dress from this location. I would absolutely recommend stopping in for a bridal shopping visit (but be sure to make an appointment in advance!).

We had the most enjoyable shopping experience EVER with him today. He put the bride at ease immediately, explained the process and picked out THE most beautiful gowns for her to try. What we thought was going to be a very stressful and confusing experience, turned out to be a fun filled morning with a new friend. Carlo has a great eye for detail, offered Sarah tons of great tips for her beach wedding in Mexico, and made the entire process a breeze. I can't thank you enough Carlo, the bride and BOTH Moms had a great time AND she said YES to the dress! You are a complete doll! Dianne Mariano

This bridal shop is located in Markham on Kennedy road across from Miliken community centre. They…read morehave two shops, the main building and the outlet store. When I entered the main shop, it was decorated beautifully and has two floors of wedding dresses. The whole place looked so amazing! The dressing room was huge, and looked bigger than a room in most condos. You get the whole dressing room to yourself to change in privacy, and there's a separate big waiting room for your guests to see the dress when you're ready. I was hoping to have Carlo as my consultant, but I saw him helping with another appointment instead on the same floor. I can tell he's very passionate, and can hear his voice making suggestions from the other rooms. I had Beverly as a consultant, and she was very friendly, helpful, and not pushy. I didn't have a huge budget for dresses, but she still treated me nicely and offered some great recommendations. I appreciated how she helped me with each dress, and was always positive and never impatient. Hard to deal with my opinionated family sometimes! I got to see a wide variety of dresses, and a better idea which styles look best. I didn't end up making a purchase on my first visit, but do plan on returning if needed as I'm still on the hunt for the right dress! One thing to note is I didn't like how they have a flat fee of $850 for alterations (heard it used to be $600 in the past), for everyone regardless. I wish they offer a variable fee, depending on how many alterations you need! There is the option to just buy the dress, and get it altered elsewhere though. Overall, I had an amazing experience here and can tell why it's so highly recommended! Definitely worth a visit for sure!

I already knew the dress I wanted and spoke to Andrea on the phone who was so kind, and told me they'd handle the rush order. When I got there, they were very clean and adhered to all sanitary procedures. It was nice being the only party in there. They had two dresses set aside for me and I was ready to go. Instantly fell in love with the dress I told Andrea about, and bought it that day. They gave me a glass of champagne and for my mom, plus a goodie bag. The seamstress was on site to help, too. They make sure everything is perfect and I felt so good being there. Finally got that moment I was dreaming of. I highly recommend this place to be treated like a queen.

It was her first appointment, so she wasn't sure what she wanted exactly - but the consultant was so friendly and great at pulling dresses (plus belts and veils) that fit her style. When you first wallk in, you're surrounded by racks of sample dresses. After discussing styles and budget, we were shown dresses by some lovely designers (ie. Amy Michelson, Anne Barge, Nicole Miller, Jenny Yo, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra Bridal, etc. ) For an hour appointment, you can choose about six dresses. They recommend choosing three dresses of the style you want and three other dress styles to compare. The fitting rooms are private and quite large with plenty of room for about 3-5 people. The environment was very nice and relaxing and my sister felt no pressure to buy or make a decision. They also carry bridesmaids dresses on the third floor of the shop.

Although I did not buy my wedding dress from Bridal on Spadina, Nicole really made the experience…read morevery enjoyable. Location is quite small on an upper level of a store on Spadina.. at first was a little hard to find, but as long as you follow the signs it was easy to tell where it is. Nicole does have a good range in styles and she is definitely great at imagining and listening to what you actually want to wear on your wedding day. I've tried on this one dress probably 6 times just to see how it looks on me and whether it was the one (unfortunately it was not). Nicole also was super bubbly and great to talk to. She connected well with my mom and I as we were at her place and was super great with letting me try on other items like viels and tiaras as well! Sad I couldn't find my dress from her but she is definitely fun to shop with when you're looking for your bridal outfit!

When trying to locate this bridal salon, be on the look out for the building number 101 on Spadina…read moreas there are no signs. To find the actual store sign, you would have to look on the side of the building from Adelaide. This is a store where I would say "Don't judge a book by its cover". Based on how the office building looked inside and how it was hard for me to locate the store sign, I immediately had some doubts about this store and started making assumptions on how my appointment would go. When I walked into the salon and was greeted by Nicole and her mom, Sharon, I still had my doubts but after 10 minutes speaking with Nicole, they went away. Nicole is a very energetic and sociable person. Depending on the personality of the bride/bridal party that visits, I'm sure some people will find her to be too strong but keep in mind, she's just very very energetic/happy and genuinely wants to help the bride (whether or not she buys from them). Although the store is small, they have great selection and if you're on a tight budget, this is DEFINITELY the place to go. I know some people who are on a fixed budget would immediately go to David's Bridal because they have cheaper prices BUT you do get what you pay for. I myself had visited David's Bridal in Mississauga on a Saturday and my experience was horrendous. I would literally compare it to a fast food restaurant but for bridal dresses. At Bridals on Spadina, you have affordable prices but there is QUALITY to it and you can tell. This is definitely a hidden gem and for any bride who is looking for a deal, take a look and see for yourself. My bridal party and I had a fantastic time at my appointment. Unfortunately I did not purchase my dress here but because of the experience I had, I wanted to make sure I leave a positive review so other brides are aware.

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.
