Shazzam Bridal & Formal
About
Overview & Vibe
Shazzam Bridal & Formal has been on The Boulevarde in Toronto for over forty years, and it is open seven days unusual for a bridal boutique, and useful if you work weekdays. It makes two promises on its own site and both are worth quoting: “prices are clearly marked and are not inflated”, and its staff “are not motivated by commissions”.
Dress Styles & Designers
Six bridal labels, each with its own published price band: Jean Fox and Purple Fox Bride (–), Jack Sullivan Bridal (–), Gilded Rose Bride, Tania Olsen Designs and DAMA Couture (–). Bridesmaids are Nicoletta and Eliza & Ethen.
Ideal For
A bride who wants to know the price before she falls in love, and one shopping a fuller size: 6 to 28 to try in store, orderable 0 to 32. Also for anyone on a budget — there is a Last Of Collection rail, and formal, bridesmaid and mother-of-the-bride dresses run with a sale rack.
The Need-to-Knows
No appointment fee, no limit on how many gowns you try, and unlimited return visits. An appointment is recommended but walk-ins are taken when there is room. Most brides bring two or three guests, and family who cannot be there can join by FaceTime. Allow four to six months for an ordered gown. Open Monday to Wednesday 9.30–5, Thursday to 7, Friday 9.30–5, Saturday 9–4.30 and Sunday 10–2.
Standout Feature
The published price band on every label. Most bridal stores make you ask; Shazzam prints the range on each designer’s page, so you can rule a label in or out before you book. Its bridal range runs, and it says the average bride spends.
