In my search for a wedding dress, I visited TWENTY stores and tried on over 115 gowns. Yes, you…read morejust read that correctly. Novia Mia is different than the other stores - they make the dress TO your measurements. They don't order a size X and then alter it. I bought a dress there and they ended up making two HUGE alterations into the way it was made, which other stores didn't even mention they could do. I'm 5'2" or 5'3" and really needed some of these things done. I'll tell you - if I'm paying $1100 for a dress, I'm going to be darn happy with it. She has a bunch of dresses in store for you to try on. When you select one, she asks if you want it changed in any way, and also shows you what you can do with it. You can also take her a photo of a dress you like and they'll make it for you for a reasonable price. I highly suggest stopping here in your search for a wedding gown or bridesmaid dresses.

Worst customer service I have received in a long time. Checked ahead to see if we needed an…read moreappointment to look at bridesmaids dresses and was advised we didn't. When we arrived the 3 associates working were sitting behind the desk chatting while one wedding gown appointment was in the process. We were directed to the back to look through dresses and were told we could use the changing spaces available. For 50 minutes we looked through, trying on dresses, and having questions but no one came back to check on us to see if we perhaps needed a hand. Then one of the associates came to tell us they had two more appointments and we needed to leave basically. That was fine but we really wanted one of the dresses, and it had zero information attached. No tag, no price, nothing. I asked if we could have the information and was told they didn't have time to give it to me. I asked if they had an idea on the price of the dress and was told no, they would take my name and number and call me once they were finished with appointments. Had one of them come back while we were trying dresses this could have been avoided but instead we were completely snubbed. 2 1/2 hours later while I was driving home I miss their call and they didn't even have the decency to leave a voicemail with the details? So I pull over and call back and no answer. What a headache and waste of time.

Her prices are lower than anyone else I've been able to find by a significant margin, and she always delivers what she says she will on time, or usually early. Her communication is best through e-mail (I find her slightly difficult to understand over the phone), and she is always quick to respond. I would suggest going elsewhere to try on bridesmaid dresses, as her store is quite crowded, and somewhat dimly lit, (parking can also be difficult) but order here, you won't be disappointed.

The vibes were really off from the manager or whoever was in charge…read more I had a dress on layaway and made two follow-up appointments. I had to cancel the first due to scheduling issues, but I confirmed the second. When I called to make the follow-up appointments, I explained that I wanted to come in and try on the dress I had chosen again to make sure it was the one I wanted. During my first appointment, I saw the dress on the mannequin and loved how it looked. Luckily, they had it in my size. When they brought it out, they mentioned it was wrinkled because it had just been taken out and hadn't been steamed yet. I decided to go with the dress and put it on layaway, but I had a hard time seeing past the wrinkles in the photos I took when I first tried it on. That's why I wanted a follow-up appointment and asked twice if it was possible to have the dress steamed like the other dresses on the floor. Both times, whoever I spoke to said they could do that for me. Today, I went in for my follow-up appointment (I live an hour outside of Calgary), and they brought out the dress, but it wasn't steamed. When I asked about it, the manager or whoever she had immediately told me they couldn't steam the dress unless I paid for it in full. I tried to explain the initial conversations I had with the other staff who booked my follow-up appointments, but she was dismissive and her vibes were totally off. She kept repeating that they only steam fully paid dresses. I was going to pay it off today as I had it on layaway, but she questioned who booked my appointment and demanded her workers find out. She kept talking over me and to her workers in a tone that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to show her the image of the wrinkly dress I had when I first tried it on, but she didn't seem interested and kept saying they don't steam dresses on layaway. I tried to explain that it was steamed on the mannequin and the other dresses on the floor weren't as wrinkly, but she kept asking her workers to find out who booked my appointment. Eventually, she said they could steam the top material to smooth it out, which was all I had wanted and requested. She quickly had two workers in the back steaming the top material for me, and I got to try it on wrinkle-free. I felt so awkward and uncomfortable from her tone and attitude towards me and her workers that I shut down. I didn't feel good after that and didn't want to engage with her or anyone there. I ended up deciding to keep looking for my dress elsewhere and didn't want to get that dress anymore from them. The worker and other manager who helped me during my first appointment were so welcoming and hyped me up, and I left feeling so good. But after today, I think I'll stay far away from David's Bridal. It's unfortunate because I loved the dress, but the way the older manager made me feel was no good, and I don't need that kind of energy near me. So, I decided to let go of the dress, and they took $140 off my $350 layaway price, which I find unfair as I really wanted the dress, but the whole experience was off, so I guess I'll just take the loss and move on far away from this place.

Before yesterday, I hadn't ever tried on wedding dresses, didn't even have a clue of what I wanted,…read moreand was absolutely dreading the whole experience. I had heard horror stories of dress shopping, how sales people don't really listen to you, and make you feel forced into buying that day. My whole outlook changed after visiting Cottonwood Bridal, I left happy, and excited, and I must I admit, I think I found the one. Walked in to such a welcoming atmosphere, and ALL of the ladies there were phenomenal! They were so friendly, and helpful, they put up with me having no clue on what I wanted. They even helped pin a skirt on the dress so I can see it look a little different, and not fall so flat. They all joined in and helped, made it the most wonderful experience! I would highly recommend going there to everyone. They make you feel like it's all about you, which is the way it should. I left feeling like I had known them forever, and I can't wait to see them again. Take a little drive to see them, you won't regret it.

We ordered dresses for my cousins wedding in January and were told that was plenty of time for them to come in. The dresses were supposed to be here over a month ago and we keep getting the run around; a new story every time we call. To top it all off, not one employee of this store has been sympathetic or helpful. This is a horrible way to establish a business in a small town. I highly recommend not bothering with this business unless you don't care about when your dress arrives.

The experience was okay, but there are a few things to know when visiting Ever After. You can only enter the parking lot by driving east bound on 16th Avenue. Not a big deal, but it could be a hassle for someone who doesn't know where they're going. The shop itself is small and very full of dresses. There really isn't room to lounge around or casually browse with your friends while the bride-to-be tries on gowns, especially if there's more than one woman on a mission. Some of us sat on the floor. I only noticed two change rooms and one large mirror, so it could get crowded fast. If you do end up here with more than two people, you'd better hope not many more show up to shop. All in all, not a bad experience. I'm sure you can never have too many stores to choose from when trying to find THE dress, right? 14/30 for Yelp's 30 Day Challenge

The lady there has a pretty good eye and I fit perfectly into a Venus bridal gown that she pulled off the rack. I just bought the dress and got it shortened and took it to Hawaii.

I love that they make it so simple and convenient for the groomsmen and gives me a HUGE peace of mind knowing that the guys will look their best and comfortable the day of! The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because we haven't yet rented the suits. I'll probably be updating my review after the wedding. Thanks Paul for making suit shopping a pleasant experience!
