White Toronto was by far the best vendor experience I had out of all of my wedding planner. I went to a few other salons. None other compared. This is the place you dream about buying your dress at. Everything is so beautiful, you can see their put a lot of pride and thought into their business. Beautiful white flowing wedding dresses are everywhere, as are fresh flowers, and other fabulously girly things.
First, you can book your appointment via email. Any company with online booking is a star in my books. Then you and your guests are whisked upstairs to a beautiful room all to yourself. There is seating for guests and a partition behind which the bride can change in privacy. For the duration of your appointment, you're the bridal consultant's only client. It's a very individual, intimate experience.
Then you try on the gowns! They have a huge selection of wedding gowns at an even wider range of prices. I never felt uncomfortable because i was at a lower price point. They truly have a beautiful selection of gowns from the best designers, like Carolina Herrara, Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, and Jenny Packham. I personally went there for Jenny Packham. They are one of the only salons to carry Jenny Packham in the region, and I personally found Powder to have shoddy customer service- so i went to White!
My consultant was Tamara and I worked with her for every appointment I had. She was very personable, honest, and helpful. I didn't always bring bridesmaids or family, and she truly felt like a friend when I was alone.
I ended up buying with Jenny Packham's Joy. When you buy a dress you get champagne and other goodies. I received so many compliments on my wedding dress- it was the talk of the night. Everyone kept commenting on how glamorous and unique it was. Not the strapless a-line or fit-n-flare everyone and their sister wears.
The dress arrived very quickly, and they let me know as soon as it arrived. I also had alterations done at White Toronto. Given the amount of beading on my dress, I figured they'd know how to alter it best. The seamstress did an outstanding job. She picked up on all my little body eccentricities without me having to mention them, and altered it flawlessly.
White Toronto further has anything a bride needs. I needed a backless adhesive bra and couldn't find the gel version anywhere in the city. They had it and even showed me how to put it on properly. they also sell crazy things like covers for stilettos so your heel won't sink into the ground if you walk on grass and seamless undies.
Finally, they did a wonderful job packaging my dress. They did so such that my dress had no wrinkles the day of. They also helped me get my dress in my coupe- which is no easy feat.
Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better wedding dress experience. This is one bridal salon you have to go to.
