I cannot recommend Julie Allen Bridals enough to anyone planning a wedding. They went above and…read morebeyond for me multiple times throughout the year I worked with them. We found that my mother needed to start chemotherapy immediately the week we were going to start dress shopping. We had one weekend to search for a dress before she started treatment during the pandemic and could no longer go out in public, and I refused to go dress shopping without my mom. Our first stop was Julie Allen Bridals. We reached out to them ahead of time and asked if we could have a photographer come and photograph us together in dresses while we shopped since she would be losing her hair, and we wanted to photograph her with her long locks. Not only did they agree to have a photographer come, but they offered to shoot the photos for us with one of their bridal consultants, Erica, who photographs her in her spare time. She refused to take any payment we offered. We found a fantastic dress at that first shop that had amazing sleeves I couldn't stop thinking about it the entire weekend while we kept looking and made the decision to move forward with Julie Allen. They were very accommodating about the alteration requests I had as I wanted to change some underskirt colors and vastly cut back the long train and worked with me every step of the way to get clarity and make sure the dress was exactly what I wanted. Yupa, my seamstress at Julie Allen was so warm and kind. She knew exactly what to do to alter the dress and add little additions here and there to make managing the dress easier. We did try adding some clear strips to the shoulders under the sheer fabric there to stop some redness where the dress rubbed, but it was far too distracting and reflective in the light. The owner herself, Melanie, spent the better part of an hour removing them herself! My mom is officially in remission a year later, and focusing on the wedding gave her something positive to look forward to as she fought. We are so glad we started our dress journey with Julie Allen Bridals, and they will always have a special place in our hearts as we reflect on our wedding planning experience. You won't get a better experience than here at Julie Allen Bridals. I'd come here again, but I'm not planning to get married again soon, so I'll have to recommend them to all my engaged friends instead. :)

Unfortunately, this is the first place I went to try on wedding dresses. It was an awful…read moreexperience. The shop is small and there aren't a lot of dresses to begin with. Three women greeted us and I told them it was my first time shopping, and that I wanted a lace dress with some kind of sleeves. They scoffed at wanting sleeves, and told me I shouldn't worry about that because it would be hard to find. Gee, thanks! My Mom helped me into 3 dresses, all being too small. I don't know what sample sizes they get and perhaps it is beyond their control, but beware of this. One of the dresses was a fit and flair and at least gave me an idea of the style on me. It was okay but not great. Two women abruptly came in and were tugging and adjusting the dress and handing me belts to try, not listening to the fact that I didn't like this dress much at all! On top of that, one woman comments: "It almost fits. Maybe you can lose some weight before next year." Are you f*cking serious?! Listen, I'm a size 12 and not ever going to be skinny, even if I lose a few lbs. I have a large chest and hips, and that's just how I'm built. Like every bride, I hope to get in better shape before my wedding...but you do not ever say something like this to a woman trying on wedding gowns! I took the dress off, left the store, and burst into tears. I was so upset and emotional - it was just terrible. Nobody should ever treat someone that way. I can't recommend this store AT ALL. After I left, I went to Wedding Embassy in Oakville and they were beyond kind and helpful, and with a much bigger selection. They squeezed me in for an appointment and took the time to help me find suitable styles and explained that there are many things they can do to add sleeves or more coverage to the dress.

I also need to mention how Gail transformed my bridal Juliet cap into a headband using the lace from my cap onto a band form. My daughter wanted to wear a modern version of the headpiece I wore as a bride and Gail listened and continued to modify it until it was perfect for her.

The amazing reviews convinced me that I should definitely make an appointment to try on dresses. Upon arriving, I thought that the shop was a lot smaller based on the outside. It didn't stand out much. BUT when I walked inside, the shop was beautiful. It was much bigger and had so many gorgeous dresses in all kinds of styles. Morgana assisted me and was very nice to work with. She was patient, attentive and I appreciated the one on one attention I received with her. I loved coming out in each dress because there was a runway with a large mirror. It really made the experience special. The shop only had one other customer inside, so I didn't feel rushed or over crowded. Morgana did not pressure me and explained the options I had. Most of their dresses could be altered to add sleeves. I would absolutely recommend Majesty to any bride. The experience was amazing and there were so many options. The space was also really beautiful.
