Alex & Patty – Yep! we got married!

Wedding-Dress-O-Rama

If I had enough time before my wedding, I would totally get my wedding dress on Ebay.

After going to 5 wedding dress stores, all the dresses started to look the same for me

I had a particular look of the dress in mind, so it didn’t take too long to find one.

Anywayz, here’s the list of wedding dress stores that I had been in the past weekend.

Vogue Sposa Bridal Boutique
304 Danforth Ave., Toronto
(416) 466-8884
Mon, Tues, Fri & Sat: 10am to 6pm Appointments Preferred
-high end wedding boutique store, it’s a price tag that goes above my budget (most of the dress in there are over 1000 CDN)

The Dressroom
http://www.beckersbridals.com/
269 Danforth Ave.
416.466.6842
-Very reasonable pricing (average under 1K, but not much brand name wedding dresses)

Backers Bridals & Formal
http://www.beckersbridals.com/
387 Danforth Ave.
416.463.6601
-highend pricing (average over 1K!)

Taipei Love Forever
http://www.taipeiloveforever.com/
175 West Beaver Creek, Unit#1&2, Richmond Hill
905.709.0516
-This is a wedding all-inclusive package company owned by Taiwanese. They rent out and sell the dresses. Reasonable pricing (nothing goes above 1300, and goes as low as 450). This is the place that I tried on the dress that I liked… however I didn’t get the dress here.

Best For Brides
http://www.bestforbrides.com
566A Sheppard Ave. West
1.877.373.7702 (toll free)
-Awesome pricing, and you can even bargain the pricing to have the GST and hemming included. The store is actually on top of another store near the corner of Bathurst and Sheppard Ave. Extremely small, and the staff are too buzy to help you as well. However, I found the exact same dress that I tried on at the Taipei Forever, and the dress is 300 dollar cheaper!! So I end up buying the dress here!

Ritche
http://www.ritche.com/
1662 Avenue Road
416.463.6601
-highend pricing (average over 1K!)
-Awesome services, you get a change room of your own, and you get a representative bringing you dresses of your liking.

and.. here’s my dress, enjoy

Alright, I know this might seem to be a shocker to those who know me for a long time.YEP, I AM GETTING MARRIED!yeah, I know. Alex and I met last year in July. We fell in love, and next thing I know is that he proposed to me in Feb. (20 min before we are catching the bus to go to our Asia trip on Feb 1)So then, we went on 3 weeks vacation in Taiwan and Thailand. We had a blast there!! We had alot of delicious food and stayed in all kinds of luxury hotels!We decided to get marry on the date of Aug 8 this year, yep, it’s 08.08.08!! (As chinese, we love the number 8 because it has the same sound as ‘fortune’)

I know it’s a bit of rush to get married, but I think it’s do-able for sure!!!!
