Shades of White Bridal Boutique Victoria BC - Victoria

I had a wonderful experience at Shades of White during my appointments and in all my interactions in between. The staff were informative and friendly. During times of COVID restrictions we felt safe and comfortable in the shop. I was nervous going into dress shopping, but the lovely woman helping me was kind and put me at ease. I can't wait to wear my dress on my special day.

I had a wonderful experience shopping for my wedding dress. Quinn was so lovely and helpful. She was always around to pull any dress I had wanted to try on but didn't hover-it made me feel comfortable and at ease while browsing. The boutique is beautifully decorated with lots of natural light that allows for one to get a sense of the true shades of the fabrics. Lots of full length mirrors to help complete the vision. I brought my mother in on a separate visit to get some ideas for her mother of the bride outfit the associate helping us (sorry I can't remember her name) was just the same-lovely and helpful but gave us room to breathe. I cannot recommend this boutique enough-very sweet group of women and consistent service :)

I had the best experience here! I bought my dress here without worrying about looking at other places, I just knew it was my dress and with their large selection no style was missed trying on. Throughout the whole appointment I felt heard/listened to and my stylists provided me with exactly what I described in the appointment details when booking for dresses to try on. The stylist was so nice, I really appreciated her knowledge and experience. Can’t recommend Shades of White more!

If I could give it a higher rating I would. A beautiful store, from the moment you walk in it feels like your transported to another land. A land brimming with gorgeous dresses for you to try on! My bridal attendant was Chris, she was so wonderful! She had some dresses picked out for me already (based on my application) and then we walked around and she pulled dresses from the floor that I liked. I am a curvy girl, and sometimes shopping can be difficult as it's hard to find things that I like that flatter my figure. But when I say that everything I tried on, not only could I put it on, but it looked good on my body, I mean everything! I felt like a Goddess through the whole fitting, and Chris was so supportive and made me feel lovely. We tried veils and different head pieces, the store has multiple lovely nooks and mirrored areas to view the gowns and take great photos. It was truly a memorable experience and one I hope every bride can have. Oh, and I walked away with my dream gown!!!! Thank you Shades of White, and especially Chris!

I went in to try on wedding dresses for the first time, I told myself I have to go to all of the bridal shops in town... Right when I got into Shades of White, it was absolutely beautiful! Chris, who I would highly recommend suggesting when you book your appointment was exceptional. She was personable, sweet right at the start and knew exactly what was right for me while still showing me different styles. I'm quite petite, so she really knew what worked with my body type / any body types. She pulled out this one dress in the middle of the try on initially knowing it would be perfect for me - and when I tried it on I couldn't look back. She brought out the most perfect earrings and veil to match. She was very knowledgeable and if it wasn't for her, I don't think I would have found my perfect dress. I didn't need to shop around - Shades of White was the perfect experience for me! :) Ask for Chris!!

Linda, this woman was so lovely. She made my whole experience of finding/ trying on dresses effortless. The first dress was the one and the third dress( I only had to try on 3) was my second dress for dancing/reception. Her demeanor and kindness made my experience the best. She knew exactly which veil would match my dress perfectly and which dresses suited me. I gave her little information and she came out with the absolute best options for me. Linda is the best at Shades of White Bridal and I am so grateful that she was the woman I had the honor of working beside in saying yes to my dress(es). Thank you Linda and I will be recommending anyone seeking their dream wedding dress to come to Shades of White Bridal, Ask for Linda, She will help make your wedding dress dreams, come true.

I just purchased my dream wedding dress yesterday from Shades of White Bridal, and what a pleasure it was! I went in there not having much of an idea of what I was looking for! However, I ended up getting Chris, and I couldn't have had a better person to help guide me along my decision-making. Chris's demeanor was so calm, confident, yet laid back and effortlessly good at what she does!! She pulled the perfect dresses that complimented my body type and was there every step of the way. I never once felt pressured, and I never once felt rushed! I really enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend this bridal shop to anyone looking! Ask for Chris; you won't be disappointed:)

In December of 2021, I emailed Shades of White in hopes of finding a simple wedding dress meant for a backyard venue. My original wedding dress was completed October of the same year, purchased from a different vendor, which was meant for a much bigger venue. Due to a health situation of a family member, my now husband and I decided to have the wedding earlier and cancel all our big plans. I had to organize a smaller wedding in a week. The same morning I emailed Shades of White, I received a reply back from Monica with photos of potential dresses that will suit my needs and she provided me with same day appointment for dress fitting. I arrived in the afternoon and my dressing room and the dresses were ready for me to try on. I was very impressed and touched above all with her kindness. They have a wide variety of beautiful dresses in all sorts of styles, prices and sizes. The bridal shop is very clean and inviting. The fitting rooms are spacious and the lighting is perfect. There are ample spaces as well for your bride tribe to sit on while you try some dresses. I ended up not buying a dress because I managed to remove the petticoat of my original gown, which made it appropriate for a very intimate wedding. When I notified them about it, I still received a graceful reply from Monica. She thanked me for visiting and was delighted to know that I have a dress for my special day. There was no hint of displeasure from their side because, well, after all they did for me, I did not purchase anything from them. Thank you Monica and to all the staff at the Shades of White and I wish all the best for your business this year and many more years to come!
