Gardenia Bridal

I bought my wedding dress here. Lean the sales lady is so sweet, she really listened to what I said and pulled dresses that were right for me in terms of fit, size, and price. When a dress didn’t work, she was fine in moving on and trying on the next or finding something else. She didn’t try to convince me to like a wedding dress I didn’t want to buy, a sales tactic that is just a waste of time IMHO. She was really good.
She picked a dress made by their own label and it fit beautifully. She partner Annie was there and pinned my dress for the alterations.
The store is elegant and beautiful. Very clean and bright. Good selection in bridesmaid dresses including those popular convertible dresses ($ 75 for the shorter one; $ 95 for the longer one). The bridal gowns are beautiful here. Most start above $ 1000 but they have the off one that is cheaper because it’s the last one. High quality dresses here. Good selection of accessories, under garments ($ 20) for the dress, and shoes ($ 75). Sales staff speak English and Chinese. Amanda the owner is very quick on email.
I had an excellent experience here and saw my dress for half if what it was in another store. Very happy. Will recommend.

Annie runs this quaint bridal boutique on Markham Main Street. Bridesmaid offerings are a-​plenty, with bridal gowns and a few mother of the bride options. As far as bridesmaid options go, the colour, style, and fabric selection is pretty vast — I’m sure one could find a prom dress or regular evening gown here too. Decorations, floral arrangements, and jewelry are also available.
Gardenia is closed on Sundays but offers private appointments which I found quite nice to have the shop to ourselves and Annie’s undivided attention. She had suggestions to offer but was patient and wasn’t invasive with her sell.
Plenty of options in the $ 150-​$ 200 range and while they do have their own version of the jersey convertible dress for cheap ($ 95), the material on this is quite thin and the maxi style was a mere midi on one of our taller girls.
Given our order of 5 dresses, Annie was flexible in the deposit amount and we were told 8 weeks for the order. Prices are somewhat negotiable with bulk orders and alterations.
