Bridal Debut

The staff, especially Janice, at Bridal Debut were fantastic. Janice helped me find my wedding dress which suited me perfectly and was exactly was I was looking for.

I was able to find the dress I had been looking for for a very long time. The staff were very kind and excited for me. The only down side was my dress's zipper broke twice, once right on my wedding day. But the store handled it very well after and gave us free repair, steam clean and preservation. A $400 value.

I loved my dress, I had many many compliments on it. I bought a Sotorro Midgley dress and it was my dream dress. Now I understand that the "Average size" of a body these days is between a size 12 and 16.....I am a size 4, so it was a little difficult to visualize what the dress would turn out to be like when the floor model of the dress I had to try on was a size 16. I still risked it. But when you go into a bridal boutique, one would think that the attendants in the boutique would know how to properly size a person.....seeing as your client is about to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a dress that will be worn once. The attendant that was assisting me recommended/sized me as a 6. Both myself, my Mom (who is a seamstress) and my sister pushed for a size 4, but the attendant said no, it is better to order bigger and then size down. Well the dress came in and I was swimming in it. The cup size would have fit a lady with double D's (I am a small B) and when I laced up the back, it was done up as tight as possible where you couldn't tighten it anymore....I needed a smaller size! So with alturations, instead of properly mending the boddice, the seamstress just inserted 2 (no not just one) inserts in each cup turning me into a double D (I actually had a guest come up to me at the wedding asking me "woah, where did you get those!") and just tacked the sides of the dress to make the boddice a bit smaller. And here is the kicker.....they charged me the amount of 1/3 of what my dress cost for alturations (so about $500.00) just for 4 cup inserts, some tacking and a slight hemming of the bottom. Don't get me wrong, I loved the dress after everything was done, but there was "false advertizing" in regards to my chest size which I did not enjoy the attention of, and the cost for what was done in alturations was outrageous! Buyer beware in regards to this!

I found the hours at Bridal Debut in Sherwood Park weren't very flexible as it was mostly open only during business hours, with Wed/Thurs evenings till 8pm available by appointment only (which were sometimes hard to get appointments for) and saturdays required appointments for as well, which needed to be booked sometimes weeks in advance since it was peak wedding season. It would have been nice if there was more staff on hand during this time.

I went to one shop and only one. I found my dress the first time I was out trying them on because the staff here were SO amazing! I highly recommend this shop if you are in the Edmonton area. It is well worth the trip!
Everyone thought I spent over 1500 on my dress!

Bridal Debut provided me with 2 great wedding dresses. I had my traditional white dress and then another beautiful red wedding dress that was in their old maggie collection that they brought in for me. Everyone was in awe with my dresses!

There was a few bumps along the way, as in ordering my head piece for the second red dress didn't show when it was supposed to, but bridal debut and the staff was on it right away and contacted the supplier to find out where my piece was.

Other than that, times of the store could be better fit a working girls schedule but that's like any other place. I would suggest bridal debut as they have a great selection of dresses, designers, and accessories!

The staff were very professiinal and knowledgeable. Lots of selection in many price ranges. Great experience all around.

The staff at Bridal Debut helped me find the perfect dress! I also found my hairpiece, necklace and bracelet there which helped bring the whole thing together :D

They have such an excellent selection of dresses and accessories! They were extremely helpful and helped me find the perfect dress!

The ladies at Bridal Debut helped me out SO much! The first consultant I had, Janice, was phenomenal!! She picked up one dress thinking it was goign to look good on me and guess what, its the one I chose. She had an amazing eye!! the seamstresses were amazing and even altered my dress 2 days before i was supposed to pick it up. i would send anyone to Bridal Debut.

We found Bride's Maid dresses at Bridal Debut in Sherwood Park, as well as a mother of the bride dress. Every time we were there, the sales staff were very helpful, and more than willing to accommodate our multitude of questions and concerns. They were very knowledgeable.

Some of the most beautiful designers in the city, and excellent service. One of my favourite salons to shop at (the other didn't carry my designer). Did not use for alterations after a poor experience from my sister's wedding with their seamstress. Wasn't going to risk it with a "second chance".

The women who work at Bridal Debut, at least the ones that helped me, were all pleasant. They don't work on commission here, so they weren't pushy at all. They have no problem with people taking pictures of the dresses, in fact they encourage it to ensure that you get the dress that you want and if that dress is at another store, that's fine with them. It was a really nice experience.

they found my perfect dress! I found a dress i loved on the mannequin but it didnt look quite right and they knew just the right dress to find for me, when i tried it on it was PERFECT.

Such an easy time choosing and altering my dreess. They helped me get ready which was fabulous.
