Which is very impressive since she didn't even need to use any measurements before picking ones out for my sister to try on she was very spot on about what my sister was wanting and answered all our questions. My sister is very shy and a bit awkward at times and it took her a minute but the nice women made her feel more comfortable and not as shy to say what she wanted for her dress or didn't want for her dress so overall I really do recommend this place not just because the staff was amazing but the other customers aswell thank you posh fair for making my little sisters dream come true and giving her this amazing experience that every young girl dreams of! If you want your young girl or to have an amazing experience i definitely recommend coming here or if you are coming yourself or even just getting a wedding dress i am yet to have an excuse to go shopping for one but once i do I will definitely be coming here before any other store as I think it even made not just my sisters experience amazing but mine and my partners to, enough to want to come back for my wedding dress so thank you again poshfair for this amazing experience you have given us!

But thanks to Mila, my fear disappeared days after days. I asked Mila if she could modify a few things regarding the dress, and she agreed. She sent me a drawing of the dress for approval. After that, she kept sending me pictures of the dress every two weeks for me to see how it went. My dress was ready in 2 months and 1 week for shipment. It fits perfectly and the material is so beautiful, I can't believe it ! Don't hesitate !! Mila and her team will do wonders !! Je vous recommande Mila! Elle a réalisé la robe de mes rêves. Le tissu est d'une bien meilleure qualité qu'en magasin, et j'ai essayé, je peux l'assurer !! Elle envoie des photos du travail en cours, bref, génial !!

This is a family-run business that has plenty of space to look around and see all they have to offer. They have a wide selection of styles, fabrics, and lengths and we're very friendly and helpful with narrowing down the choices that we were looking for. There are a range of prices and discounts on some of the gowns that were a steal! The boutique is broken up into sections along with seating, so you can have a quieter space with you and your, "entourage." I also liked how well lit it was and the number of large mirrors that were in each fitting area. Check this place out if you're in the Ottawa area and looking to say yes to the dress :)

It was well lit with racks of dresses down either side, organized by designer and price. The owner was bright and cheerful, and greeted us immediately when we entered. There was a large selection of different styles of gowns and designers, and the gowns were extremely pretty and of high quality. Unfortunately, most of the sample sizes were 10-12, whereas I am a size 16, so I was unable to fit into most of the dresses. The owner was able to find a few gowns in my size in the back, but none that entirely fit with my vision. i would recommend this salon for anyone who is a size 10-12 looking for a wedding dress as it is a beautiful studio, has beautiful gowns, and the owner is wonderful.

The owner (the man) literally looked me up and down and the first thing he said was that they don't carry "big" sizes. I asked him what sizes they had and he said 14 and 16. I told him that I had tried on dresses the week prior at multiple stores and was a 16 and he said "I don't think so". My own wedding dress was also a 16. I left after telling him that they should not advertise that they have "all sizes" if they are just going to discriminate people and judge them based on a quick look at their bodies (just for context I am a 10-12 in normal, everyday dresses).

So frustrated with these people! Ok so I'm on an epic round the world trip and was going to…read moresurprise my BFF who asked me to be one of her MOHs by flying into Ottawa for the big day! With the help of my co-MOH I contacted Laysieng to order the dress. It was a bit difficult to get in touch only because of the time difference Sydney-Ottawa but overall first impressions I was really happy with this store. They said to call them any time until 1am. Awesome, great start. Well when I was on the phone with the owner I gave him my credit card information and said in an email I wasn't going to provide my credit card details over email because accounts get hacked all the time, I only have one credit card and I'm traveling with no fixed address so getting a new one if mine is comprised is REALLY hard. The first thing he does is sends my credit card info with the expiry and security code in an email for confirmation! Seriously!? So that ticked me off but I thought oh maybe there was some misunderstanding. So my VISA card saw the late night transaction from a bridal shop in a country they knew I wasn't in and froze my credit card (thank you VISA for having my back!). So we had a couple back and forth emails since my card wasn't working. I spoke with VISA and we got it all sorted out, the transaction went through and I requested a receipt for the dress so I had a proof of purchase when I got to Ottawa. I didn't hear back and thought oh maybe my email didn't go through? Four emails later requesting a receipt and still no response. Funny because all my emails leading up to the purchase had worked? Then the unthinkable happened. The wedding got cancelled. Since I hadn't heard back from the owners of the store and no receipt was provided I asked them if the dress had been ordered and if not, to please cancel the dress. No response. I sent another email. I called. Again no response. I sent ANOTHER email. Still nothing. After two months of this with no response I thought oh well at least I have a nice Alfred Sung dress when I get to Ottawa. They were supposed to call me when it was ready to pick up. No phone call. Hmmm... so I did the most logical thing and showed up. When I got to the store I was obviously not happy about chasing them for two months without a SINGLE response! So I showed up told Heng the owner my name and you could tell he knew exactly who I was. We went through the motions and I told him that he either owed me the money he had charged me or needed to provide a dress. He got very defensive and I told him that if I didn't receive one of those things I was going to file a police report for theft. He proceeded to get the dress and told me that they had called. I informed him that I hadn't received a single call and that I had been trying to contact them for two months before I got to Ottawa. He kept telling me I couldn't have a refund and I said that was fine because he had given me the dress. I told him that I was very unhappy with my experience with their store and that I would be posting a review online. As I went to exit the store, dress in hand, Heng's wife started to yell at me. So I turned around to listen to what she had to say. She was yelling that God would judge me if I wrote bad reviews and He was a witness to their good customer service, and how dare I even think of writing anything bad about them. Her husband had called me and it's my fault if I didn't get the message. (Keep in mind that they have customers in the store and on the phone) So i calmly replied and told her that no one ever said anything about a bad review, I said I would write about my experience and that it would truthful. If she didn't want me to write about my experience maybe they should have treated me differently? The yelling continued, I asked why she was yelling at an unhappy customer and what she hoped to accomplish other than make me more upset and more likely to write unflattering things. At which point she started yelling about how she wasn't yelling just speaking loudly so I could hear her...ok? And that she had been raised to provide the best customer service possible and how I didn't know what I was talking about. Finally, I was embarrassed for her and reminded her that she had potential customers in the store and on the phone so if she really was the ambassador of excellent customer service she claimed to be perhaps she shouldn't be yelling at a customer in front of new customers? I think that hit home and she stopped yelling and then said goodbye. As someone who just got engaged and will be having a destination wedding and two receptions (Vancouver and Ottawa), and quite possibly need at least two bridal dresses (maybe three!! hehe) I won't be coming back here and have told all my other friends getting married to take a pass. Who needs the stress? Not me.

My mom couldn't be at this first appt, so when I arrived I explained to my bridal consultant Danielle that I wanted to try on dresses fully knowing I wouldn't be ready to buy one without doing another appt in the US with my mom. She didn't mind in the slightest! She pulled every dress she could think of that I might love, and was incredibly kind along the way. She informed me that she's actually the owner of the shop and spent a full two hours letting me try different things. I ended up falling in love with a dress, but knew I couldn't buy it before my mom seeing, so she took my measurements and told me there was no pressure, just to call back if I ended up wanting to order later. Danielle informed me of multiple ways we could transport the dress to me if needed, and was so welcoming to my family and I. I ultimately found the same dress near my hometown in the US, and ordered through them for the convenience of shipping and a tight timeline, but had I not found it here I would have absolutely ordered through With Love. I highly recommend anyone in the Ottawa area looking for dresses to check out this lovely shop; I truly had the most wonderful experience with them. Not to mention, their dresses are not insanely expensive! They had a great price range that would allow for most anyone to find something beautiful within budget. Thank you Danielle again for a wonderful kickstart to my wedding planning!

Taem listened to me and knew exactly what I wanted. Not only was the experience great for me, but also for my wedding party...which was quite large. I brought 7 people with me and they managed to seat them all comfortably. They also don't overcrowd their store at any given time so you never feel like it's too loud or busy. I left the store so happy and the cherry on top was a personal hand-written note from Taem a few weeks later congratulating me on finding my dress. Amazing experience and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress!
