Bridesmaids Dresses

So I see your in Ontario but that’s interesting I didn’t have a good experience at David’s bridal in Calgary!! They were so rushed with me they didn’t let me take my time and choose my bridesmaid dresses and I ended up regretting the dresses I chose as they weren’t what I even wanted!! The lady was not helpful ! Anyways You should go on your local Facebook wedding place group and see if anyone has swatches! I saw a girl did that in my area for azazzie and now I really wish I went with them! They have so many colours and styles!

I highly recommend Birdy Grey! They're based in the states, but I just ordered all my bridesmaids dresses in one shipment (one flat rate shipping). The dresses are great and all are under $100USD. I actually got mine Black Friday for $40USD (50ish CAD) each! The dresses are true to size, and would just need to be hemmed depending on height.

Also have used azazie as a bridesmaid and has been great too!

Hey Kayla,

I completely understand the feeling of second-guessing after reflecting on the experience - the same thing happened to me, only it was with a bridal gown I put a deposit on. I ended up backing out of the order and found a dress, that I loved even more, elsewhere. I also felt so much better (and less stressed) when I decided to cancel the initial order and sever ties with the boutique who left a bad taste in my mouth.

Are you up for trying out an experience at another salon or? I got my bridal gown at One Love One Dream in Courtice. My experience was amazing, and their options for bridesmaid dresses are extensive. I also have a friend who owns Blush Bridal in Newcastle, who also has a great selection of bridesmaid dresses (and different designers from those at One Love One Dream).

Tho I also understand if going to David's Bridal (or going with Azazie) is because they can be more "pocket" friendly.

long story short, if you are already having second thoughts about how things went down at David's Bridal, those feelings won't go away until you either go back for another appointment (re-check everything) or cancel the order and start fresh with Azazie.

Hope this helps!

It takes roughly 6 weeks if you're ordering an Azazie dress as is without custom sizing. I would suggest ordering them by mid-March so it can arrive no later than early May, which gives you roughly two months for alterations.

Just make sure you read each style's sizing chart carefully. Most of our bridesmaids had to order a size up (our MOH had to order two sizes up) from their standard retail dress size because of their curves. A seamstress can take in the waist.

View quoted message I didn't order try on dresses. I also can't exactly remember timeline because this was in 2016 or 2017. One of bridesmaid did recently order try on dresses though and that process took like a week and a half. Not too long for that. It looks like their current turnaround time on the dresses is about 1.5 months and when I remember what they had listed for turn around time being accurate when I ordered

View quoted message How long did the entire process take? (Trying on, shipping back, ordering, making, shipping)

We used azazie when my MOH got married! This was before they had a Canadian site though. But they came in a reasonable time! And I plan on using them for my bridesmaids!
