Nestled away in a little strip mall not far from Chinook lies Jessica (Belle Rykiss) Bridal. My…read morefriend who was searching for her wedding dress landed here after being told what she envisioned didn't exist and she should just get a white bridesmaid's dress. The dress that ended up catching her eye was part of the Mori Lee Blue line, which Ethos carries as well. After making an appointment at Ethos to try on that particular dress which ended in disaster, she found that Jessica Bridal also carried the line and style she was looking for. She made her appointment and as one of her faithful bridesmaids we followed her into the wedding den. As we took off our shoes, the bride-to-be was greeted by her consultant, who was lovely. She never pressured the bride on the purchase and us as bridesmaids were not being ushered into fittings rooms to try on dresses as well. We got to take our time which was so important, I hate being rushed! The shop can accommodate max 5 different appointments at once, with their 5 fitting rooms. When we were there, a girl was searching for her grad dress and another bride came in as we were nearing the end of our time there. I love how this doesn't feel like a bridal factory, where people are being churned out of rooms faster then you can say "organza". The trip back for the bride's fitting was also great as one of the other bridesmaids ended up being 40 minutes late. They let us hang about and have her parade around in her wedding dress throughout the store. The alterations they did were great and the best part was the dress she got was cheaper here than at Ethos! If you are in the wedding or grad dress market, stop by Jessica Bridal, chances are they have something you will love that won't break your budget with a staff that are genuinely nice! Review #12 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

I went to Jessica Bridal with my mom and without an appointment on a Tuesday morning. I hadn't…read moretried any dresses on yet and had only a vague idea of what I wanted. To make things worse I had exactly two months until my wedding! I chose to visit Jessica Bridal first based on the reviews here on Yelp and I;m sure glad I did! We were greeted right away by Alaina who said we were fine to shop without an appointment. She informed me that because my date was so soon I would not be able to order anything in and would have to stick to dresses that were already in store in my size. I already knew this would be necessary. Alaina was very knowledgable about the extent to which certain dresses could be altered to fit me if they were a bit too big or small on the rack. She asked me what styles I had in mind and since I didn't really know what I wanted she offered to pull a few styles to get me started. She also told my mom and I to go ahead and pull any dresses we wanted to try, which was nice. Alaina really made the experience great! She was there to zip/lace/button up every dress and made lots of helpful suggestions about alterations and flattering styles, but wasn't pushy or gushy at all. She was very patient and made me feel like I had all the time in the world to try on dresses. And not once did she suggest a dress that was over my budget. I ended up finding "the" dress with her help, even though it was not at all what I imagined myself in! But I love it! I highly recommend booking an appointment with Alaina!

Her prices are lower than anyone else I've been able to find by a significant margin, and she always delivers what she says she will on time, or usually early. Her communication is best through e-mail (I find her slightly difficult to understand over the phone), and she is always quick to respond. I would suggest going elsewhere to try on bridesmaid dresses, as her store is quite crowded, and somewhat dimly lit, (parking can also be difficult) but order here, you won't be disappointed.

I would not recommend Ivy. She told me to come in and give me a quote from what I wanted for my…read morewedding dress. I just wanted wider straps, 2 short layers of crinoline taken out and the length of the dress shortened and she told me it would be $700 upfront (more than my dress cost) and I would need to provide lace material for the straps. She didn't listen to what I wanted. Would not hem the dress to the length I wanted because she said it was good long, and said she wouldn't move the straps in when I suggested it because they were apparently "fine" to her. And she was going to get me to buy lace that didn't match my dress but perfectly matched a different dress she had hanging up. Then when I told her I was going to have family do it because I could not afford that, she charged me a $25 service fee which I was completely unaware of. Seems like she's scamming vulnerable women.

Novia Mia is different than the other stores - they make the dress TO your measurements. They don't order a size X and then alter it. I bought a dress there and they ended up making two HUGE alterations into the way it was made, which other stores didn't even mention they could do. I'm 5'2" or 5'3" and really needed some of these things done. I'll tell you - if I'm paying $1100 for a dress, I'm going to be darn happy with it. She has a bunch of dresses in store for you to try on. When you select one, she asks if you want it changed in any way, and also shows you what you can do with it. You can also take her a photo of a dress you like and they'll make it for you for a reasonable price. I highly suggest stopping here in your search for a wedding gown or bridesmaid dresses.

Worst customer service I have received in a long time. Checked ahead to see if we needed an…read moreappointment to look at bridesmaids dresses and was advised we didn't. When we arrived the 3 associates working were sitting behind the desk chatting while one wedding gown appointment was in the process. We were directed to the back to look through dresses and were told we could use the changing spaces available. For 50 minutes we looked through, trying on dresses, and having questions but no one came back to check on us to see if we perhaps needed a hand. Then one of the associates came to tell us they had two more appointments and we needed to leave basically. That was fine but we really wanted one of the dresses, and it had zero information attached. No tag, no price, nothing. I asked if we could have the information and was told they didn't have time to give it to me. I asked if they had an idea on the price of the dress and was told no, they would take my name and number and call me once they were finished with appointments. Had one of them come back while we were trying dresses this could have been avoided but instead we were completely snubbed. 2 1/2 hours later while I was driving home I miss their call and they didn't even have the decency to leave a voicemail with the details? So I pull over and call back and no answer. What a headache and waste of time.
