Valencienne Bridal

My mom and I both contacted Kim about a year before my wedding day in 2020 to create both of our dresses. For my mom and I the fit was absolutely key for our dresses, and after trying on so many gowns prior, I knew I wouldn't be able to find a gown that would fit as well as a custom made one. My mom and I first met Kim at The Wedding Co. show just before Covid, and seeing her sitting and sketching dresses live, I knew she was the one who could make anyone's dress dreams come true!

From the moment we sat at her pink marble table in her new shop and she sketched my dress, I was SO excited. It is very hard to commit to a dress you can't try on until a week before your wedding, but just seeing her design with confidence and excitement, I knew I would have a magnificant dress. The whole design and fitting process was easy and really really fun. Week after week, through all of Covid, the lockdowns and small openings in between, Kim stayed a constant. She made us feel completely comfortable and was such a calming and caring presence to be around, as if there was no pandemic and no shortages or difficulties getting any material (even though there absolutely was)!

Kim & team, thank you for bringing the mess in my head to actual real life. When everyone saw the dress, they knew there was no other dress that would have been more perfect. The lace, the wings, the tulle, I almost didn't take it off. And the matching veil was on a whole other level. My family and I will cherish this dress for future generations. Thank you again for your dedication, time, effort, excitement, care, and love and I am so proud to support such an incredible local designer and small business right here in our own city.

Where do I begin?! Kim and her team truly make your wedding dreams come true. In the middle of a pandemic, they were able to find and alter my dream dress. I had all confidence in Valencienne from the very first moment I walked into the store after visiting virtually every salon in the city. I can’t express how grateful and happy I am with my dress! I feel so blessed to be a Valencienne bride!

From the first day I walked into Valencienne, I was blown away by the beauty and quality of the wedding gowns. Although I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted, Kim had a vision for me and helped guide me in my decision making. from the breathtaking dress, to the stunning hair piece, I cannot thank Kim and the team at Valencienne enough for their dedication and passion. I absolutely loved my dress and overall experience and I highly recommend Valencienne!

Last week I had the privilege of picking up my dream wedding gown!
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all the talent within the Valencienne Boutique. A special thanks go out to Kim. She is the most wonderful, heart warming individual I have ever met. Not only does she shine with talent, but her care for her clients is over the top.

The week of my wedding, I hit a bump. It was due to undelivered decor that I had ordered well in advance for my big day. When I went to pick up my gown, Kim was able to know that there was something off from my character. She was able to come to my rescue and helped my complete my Fairy Tale Wedding. Her gesture in this goes way and beyond. It proves to me that she is not only beautiful from the outside, but her beauty shines within. I will miss her dearly but, will definitely return for future events! PS she has a contagious laugh that I will never forget

I have tried a minimum of 50 dresses at various stores between Hamilton and Toronto. All the dresses I tried on were not unique enough for my dream wedding in Santorini. I knew which dress I was interested in in Valencienne Bridal. I first saw a photo of the dress on their website. Luckily the dress was available in the store a few days before my appointment. I was the first one trying the dress. After that day, I couldn’t stop thinking of the Valencienne dress, and I knew I finally found my dream DRESS.
When I first walked into Valencienne, I was so impressed by the beauty and high quality of the garments. Kim is so friendly and welcoming and professional. From the first day, I knew that I could completely trust Kim and her team. They have lots of creativity, knowledge, and skills to make gorgeous customized gowns. My experience was terrific, and I highly recommend Kim and her team for their dedication and passion! I guarantee you will never regret your decision.

I would 100% recommend Valencienne Bridal to any future bride! I visited the boutique because I wanted a wedding gown that was unique and different, something that would suit my personality and made just for ME! My body type is plump and curvy so I wasn't sure what would suit me best but that's okay because Kim knew right away. She is an expert designer, with excellent taste and style. I felt INCREDIBLE on my wedding day and I am SO HAPPY about my choice :) Put your trust in Valencienne, they really know what they are doing and will work with your budget.

Kim's team truly outdid themselves. Right before the doors to the church opened, the coordinator uttered that it was refreshing to see such a modest, elegant dress. Needless to say, I walked down the aisle with a smile on my face the entire time. I knew in that moment that I would never regret the decision I made to have Kim create my dream dress. Valencienne was able to make the perfect adjustments to suit my personality, which gave me the confidence to wear such a simplistic yet intricate gown. Each visit was a memorable one and the experience is something that will always be such a fond memory during the planning process.

Thank you so much for your passion and your vision!

Kim at Valencienne Bridal is like a fairy god mother that makes wishes come true! She brought my custom, dream, Dior inspired bridal gown to life and I will never forget the magical moment, when I put it on the morning of my wedding day! I literally danced for joy! It fit like a glove and was everything I had ever dreamed of. I had tried on so many gowns in various boutiques all over the city and could not find what I was looking for, until I met Kim. Kim is a visionary and her and her team were an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. Kim also created a gorgeous Dior inspired French tea dress for my mom, the Mother of the Bride. It was absolutely stunning! We loved our custom gowns and could not have been happier! Thank you so very much Kim!
