Frequently Asked Bridal Shopping Questions
Where are you located?
We are located at 1800 Carling Avenue, Unit B. This is a second floor location with no elevator and is therefore not a mobility accessible space.
We are diligently working with the city on making the space more physically accessible (ACCESSIBILITY GRANT GODS PLEASE COME THROUGH FOR US ) but until then please read about our commitment to accessibility here
When should I start shopping for a dress?
We're going to be SO real with you here.
If your question is "what's the perfect time?", 9 -12 months before your wedding!
If your wedding is 6-9 months away, still no stress. We will walk you through all available options.
If you are under 6 months from your wedding, give us a call prior to booking your appointment, BUT GUESS WHAT? We're still not stressed. Canadian gowns means manufacturing in Canada and we can get a rush gown to you ASAP.
What is the Founders Bridal Club?
The Founder’s Bridal Club isn’t open to everyone. It exists only for Always Brides who say yes at their first appointment, unlocking immediate front-of-the-line status and exclusive access to offerings never made public through any of our locations.
