Can anyone recommend where to go for reasonable priced bridesmaids dresses in toronto?

Hi Kris,

I went in myself first just to see what it was all about and fell in love with the dresses. I booked an appointment for my wedding party. So we spent an hour or 2 there with one of the associates just doing different styles and seeing what all we could do with the dresses. The price range is about $78 - $168 plus tax. I went with the midi dress for my girls. They have so many different colours i know there is a turquoise teal (not sure if that will work for your colour). Im not sure if they always have all the colours in stock so you might have to wait i think it was like maybe a month (dont quote me) but either way it is no where near the 6-8 months other stores say which was another plus. They also have tie and pocket square for the guys if you want them to match completely, cost for that is like $38 plus tax. I would recommend that the girls all get the dress the same time so that the dye lots are all the same. About half of our wedding party is married to eachother so we also didnt want everyone spending a lot. I think the dress cost them $156 with tax. I know some bought undergarments and accessories, so some spend a bit more. Their shoes are $30 plus tax from the shoe company. The guys tux's are from Tip Top (Freemans rentals) They are going to cost about $100.

From what my girls have said is that the dress is comfortable doesnt cling to the body. They can wear it how it suits them/they feel comfortable in. The associate in the store told me that its great for during pregnancy as well.

Thanks Jennifer. This makes me feel a whole etter better that they were able to take home the same day vs. waiting 6-8 months.

What is the price range approx for Henkaa?

The reason being my maitron of honor is married to the best man and the brides maitron is married to the groomsmen so I need to take into account the cost for each couple as they will also be spending over 2K to attend our wedding as well as both husband and wife being in the party.

I am certain of the colour but open to the style of dress that they want and something affordable for them.

Thanks

The best place is Henkaa its in Toronto near Yorkdale. The dresses are multi wear so my girls all have the same dress colour but are free to wear it however they are comfortable wearing it. The dresses are not super clingy so its "hides things" better. My girls were able to pay for and take home the same day.

Hi Kris,

I highly recommend Davids Bridal, as this is where my girls purchased their dresses. Because it is a chain, I was a little skeptical about it, but it could not have worked out better for us. Our dresses were $195 each, and we also received $20 off each dress. Davids always has sales like this! Also, we ordered the dresses around February 10th, and two of the dresses already came in. Still waiting on 3 more, but they said I should have them all by the end of March/beginning of April.

Honestly, check Davids out, they have a ton of selection, and pretty much every colour under the sun, short, long, lace, chiffon, you name it.

In terms of pricing, I would say the average price at Davids is $190 - $210, give or take a few bucks.

Hope this helps! Good luck dress hunting!

Hi Kris! Turquoise is such a beautiful colour! You can take a look at the bridal stores in our directory and ask for pricing for more ideas: Wedding Dresses Toronto Do you want all the same dress for your bridesmaids or do you want a mix and match?

Do you prefer short or long bridesmaids dresses?

The only place I looked in the Toronto area was Davids Bridal as I live in Peterborough so I was looking out here and in Durham Region! We ordered our bridesmaids dresses in Whitby at a store called Bliss Bridal; we ordered them in July and they were supposed to come in, in November but we had an issue and order was never put through until someone at the store realized this in November. They then told us they should be in by February but they ended up coming in January. So usually 4-6 months, but I would definitely make sure you order with enough time in case something did happen with your order!

Would you be willing to have mismatched dresses? If you just specify a color maybe you could ask the girls to find a dress that fits the bill rather than a formal "bridesmaid dress" and the extra expense that that entails.
My MOH will likely just be picking something up from a retail store like le chateau.

Bridesmaids dresses usually take 4-6 months to come in but it depends on the type of store and quality of dresses.
You can find dresses for under $200 obviously depending on the brand and the area you live in. Are you paying for the dresses or are your bridesmaids? Maybe see how much they are willing to spend. That cost will most likely not include alterations.
