Fantastic 😍😊

Ali S.

This was low stress from booking an appointment to meeting Judy and trying on the gorgeous dresses. I found what I didn't even know I was looking for, and there was no pressure. The boutique is also stunning with lots of natual light, yey completely private. Thank you!

Response from the owner:Wow Ali! Thank you for your beautiful words, that is literally the experience we like to give our brides and we are so thrilled you got it! Also, thank you so much for sharing it with other Brides from Kelowna, the Okanagan and beyond… that is so special! Can’t wait to see you again 🫶🏻

Jenny O.

Judy went above and beyond to help me find my dress. She was incredibly patient and truly tried to help me find the perfect dress. Hands down the best experience of the 4 local stores I went to. Loved the ability to look through the dresses and have the whole salon to myself.

Response from the owner:Thank you so very much for your beautiful worlds, we can’t thank you enough for taking the time to share your experience with us. Can’t wait to see you back soon

Erin T.

Best experience I had out of all the bridal stores I visited. She really listened to what I wanted. I came back to re-try my fav dress on and they gave me the best service. Loved all their dresses by far.

Response from the owner:Yeyy!! So, so thrilled and thankful for your beautiful words. You are the sweetest

Jessica C.

I cannot rave enough about the shop, the dresses, the workers and the owner of this amazing bridal salon. I found my dream Lazaro dress here at Candè, then went back and got my bridesmaids dresses (they no longer offer those). My sister found her dream dress as well and to round out everything, my best friend found two gorgeous dresses at the outlet just a few months ago. I send everyone I know here and I know they will be treated exceptionally.

Response from the owner:Dear Jessica,
Words can’t express the love and gratitude for your support. It is our honour that the most knowledgeable Bride in Bridal Designers chose Cande Bridal to find her dress :)
Helping you find your perfect Gown was a blast! Thank you for supporting our small business 🌷

Nicole M.

I had such a wonderful experience at Cande Bridal! I first worked with Adrianna, who made my initial appointment so special. She was patient, attentive, and pulled a variety of styles that really helped me figure out what I liked. It was such a great first experience trying on dresses.

I also had the pleasure of working with Judy, and she was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making the experience feel special. What stood out most was how she made me feel completely comfortable and never pressured at any point—she truly wanted what was best for me and made sure I felt confident and happy in my decision. She was so easy to talk to, supportive, and created such a relaxed, positive environment.

Even when we ran a bit late, she never made us feel rushed and kept the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Judy really went above and beyond, and I left feeling so supported and taken care of.

Both Adrianna and Judy made this experience so enjoyable, and I’m so grateful for their support. I would highly recommend Cande Bridal to anyone looking for a welcoming and positive dress shopping experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Candè Bridal Boutique. We’re so happy we were able to make your wedding dress shopping experience feel special, relaxed, and pressure-free. Creating a welcoming space for brides looking for wedding dresses in Kelowna is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for recommending our Kelowna bridal boutique…we’re honored to be part of your bridal journey!

Cat B.

I loved my experience with Cande. The atmosphere of the downtown boutique was welcoming and laid-back. All the dresses I tried on were beautiful and felt great. I was able to bring 4 guests to the appointment with me which made it feel really fun and festive. Judy was the one working with us for the appointment. I went in without much of an idea of what I was looking for, and she was incredible at helping us to narrow down what my preferred style was. The dress I ended up purchasing was through the Cande outlet sale for a great price. All of the dresses both in the boutique and the outlet sale were very reasonably priced compared to the other bridal boutiques I visited in Kelowna. I would absolutely recommend Cande!

Lindsay W.

✨ An Incredible Experience at Cande Bridal ✨

From the moment I walked into Cande Bridal, I knew it was going to be something special. The entire team made me feel so cared for, not just as a customer, but as a bride with a story and vision. Every single staff member was kind, attentive, and genuinely excited to help me find the dress.

A huge shoutout to Adrianna, who went above and beyond in every way imaginable. She was patient, supportive, and had such a calming presence throughout the whole process. Adrianna listened so carefully to what I was looking for and somehow managed to pull the exact gown that made me feel like the best version of myself.
I can’t thank the Cande Bridal team enough for making this such a personal and unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a boutique that truly cares — this is the one. 💕

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lindsay, you are so sweet, such a Cande Bridal supporter, awee! Have the best first Christmas as a Mrs.

Mel

My experience at Cande was out of this world, all thanks to the lengths Adriana went to make my dream dress come true!! My dress initially came in and it was alllll wrong! She worked closely with the designer and re-made it into the dress I envisioned wearing on my wedding day! Exceptional service and the most lovely team! You’re doing a disservice if you’re not getting your wedding dress from here!!! THANK YOU ADRIANA!!!

Response from the owner:Omg Mel! I can’t believe we are getting a five star review from you! I am so grateful for the trust you put in us! You literally trusted the process… the end result was amazing.
You are the sweetest, thank you for your beautiful words, this should be a reminder for all Brides that sometimes unfortunate things happen but being kind and understanding always goes a long way.
Thank you beautiful, we are so thankful for you

Loretta C.

This is the place to go to find your dress. Staff and owner were amazing, so helpful so friendly. Our first visit we knew this was the store we would be buying my daughters Wedding Dress and we got the most beautiful gown. Many Thanks to Cande for making it a memorable experience

Response from the owner:Wow, that means the world to us, it really, really does! We loved meeting you, of course Aly too! and witness the cute and very special moment you got to share with them! We cant wait to see you all back once her gown arrives.

Kayla F.

Best experience at cande!! The ladies are so helpful to whatever you are looking for and care to your needs and wants!

Response from the owner:We are so thankful for you, and your beautiful group and a mini crush! Can’t wait to see you back soon

Shea

Mariana and Valentina are amazing!! They are literal angels. I had the best bridal experience at Cande. The girls were so welcoming and made me feel comfortable. They really had an eye for bridal gowns and styling. They worked with everything I asked for. Would recommend over and over! It was a wonderful experience because of Mariana and Valentina ,and I feel so appreciative.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Shae, we absolutely loved meeting you and appreciate your review more than you will ever know

Jess G.

What a fantastic experience!!! I cannot thank Marianna enough! She made me feel really comfortable and relaxed, and it was such an enjoyable experience. Having the boutique to yourself and the full attention of the stylist made for a successful appointment and I left glowing!
The last bridal boutique I went to was underwhelming to say the least and the difference with Cande Bridal was night and day! Initially I was a little hesitant to pay for the appointment, which I feel silly to say, but I can tell you it is well worth the $30! Highly recommend!!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Jess, we are so excited that you found such a perfect dress and can't wait to see you back soon to help you with anything needs to be done with alterations

Kate H.

As a soon-to-be bride, I had the most incredible experience at Cande Bridal Boutique, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Mariana, our amazing consultant!

From the moment we arrived, Mariana made me, my mom, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend feel completely welcome and cared for. She created such a warm and joyful atmosphere — it felt like a private celebration just for us. Mariana's kindness, patience, and attention to detail were unmatched. She truly took the time to understand my style, preferences, and vision, and made the entire experience feel so personal and special.

I walked away feeling inspired, supported, and so much more confident in what I’m looking for. My family and friends are still talking about how wonderful the day was — we all felt like we were in the best hands.

If you’re a bride-to-be looking for a boutique that offers not just beautiful gowns but also a truly memorable and heartwarming experience, Cande Bridal is the place, and Mariana is an absolute gem.

Thank you, Mariana, for making this such a special and unforgettable part of my bridal journey!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Kate, that means so much to know you had a wonderful experience at our Boutique. We are so thankful that you took the time to share your experience with all Brides from Kelowna and the Okanagan! Thank you so much

Reilly B.

I had an amazing experience at Cande, couldn’t have been better! Great selection of dress at affordable prices and Valentina was absolutely fantastic at making the experience special, fun and she was so helpful in bringing my dress vision to life! Thank you!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much. We are so thrilled you loved your experience at Candè, you have no idea how much it means to us that you took the time to share it here! Xoxo

Cristine H.

Had an early morning appointment with my cousin and we had a great time. The consultant was knowledgeable and very helpful in figuring out what style worked and any adjustments that could be made to any of the dresses. The location is beautiful inside in a subtle way that really lets the bride (and dresses) shine. We even loved the way the sun came through the windows. I will recommend this shop to any brides I know.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much! You are so kind, we are truly humbled reading your words! So glad you had a wonderful experience at Candè

Hailey C.

Chelsea, one of the consultants, is so bubbly and kind. I ended up purchasing my wedding dress with Cande. Their little boutique is a gorgeous space and they have a nice variety of dresses in a reasonable price range. I first heard about them through my best friend, as I went with her for her appointment 2 years ago and she also got her dress here. If you’re struggling to find a gown, definitely check out Cande :)

Response from the owner:Yeyyy!! Thank you so much, your beautiful review made our day. So special to know you two got to experience each other’s day at Candè! Thank you for sharing your experience with so many future Kelowna Brides 💕

Anastasiya

Found a beautiful dress at Cande that I knew was the one. I visited several shops locally in Vancouver afterwards, but nothing matched what I saw at Cande. I was there 3 times in total but it was worth it. There was some bumps in the road re miscommunication and an issue that was out of their hands, but my stylist Chelsea was amazing none the less and Andrea helped iron out the issues we had, so overall, we were very pleased and happy with the services!

Response from the owner:Hi Anastasiya! Wow, thank you, your review truly means the world, although we made a mistake, you gave us a chance to rectify it, you were so graceful to leave us a wonderful review. We are truly humbled by your words! THANK YOU

Jenn C.

I picked up my dress today and there was a small miscommunication with some of the styling that could be changed at time or ordering. This team worked so hard to make sure my dress was still prefect for me and was immediately willing to make it right. I would recommend not only because I found a beautiful gown, but because of this level of care. Thank you so much again. ❤️

Response from the owner:Hi Jenn, awe thank you so much for sharing this! So glad we were able to make it right, definitely sorry about the miscommunication, but sometimes things happen for a reason! can't wait to see photos of your special day , don't forget to send them our way

Sierra B.

I couldn’t have dreamt of a better dress shopping experience. They were successful in helping me find my dream dress and were able to suggest options that would suit my figure. Each employee we interacted with made us feel so valued, respected and important to their business. Their dress selection is stunning, with a wide variety of styles and the most cost effective of the boutiques we visited. I will be recommending them to all future brides. Check out their Cande Outlet as well if you’re on a budget, we saw a huge selection of pretty dresses there too.

Response from the owner:My gosh!!! Thank you so much, it honestly means the world to us! so excited to see you back once your gown arrives

Jaclyn S.

This was my third appointment of the day, and the service and hospitality at Cande truly stood out above the rest. Adriana and her partner were incredible in selecting dresses, paying close attention to detail, and creating such a warm and welcoming experience. While I ultimately chose a dress from another shop, my experience at Cande was unmatched, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Response from the owner:Awe!! I can't thank you enough, we loved meeting you, your mom and sis

Mikhaela P.

Cande Bridal was amazing to work with- and we absolutely LOVE the gown that we ended up with, absolute perfection. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner:Yeyyy!!! thank you, so grateful to read your beautiful review! It truly means the world to us

Just That G.

My god Valentina went above and beyond.
I can't wait to update this review with pictures of my special dress.
Thank you for being so incredible Valentina, you truly care about your clients and glow with happiness for them. It was such a pleasure to have our appointment with you.

Response from the owner:Valentina is a sweetheart, we are so glad you got to experience an appointment with her, thank you so much for your beautiful review, it means the world to know other Kelowna Brides can learn about your experience at Cande Bridal. THANK YOU

Bry M.

AMAZING experience from the start with Valentina & Maryanna! They were SO helpful and knew my exact vision before I did! Ended up saying YES to the dress to actually the first dress I tried on after confirming that was it!! Amazing experience & excellent price point!!!! 10/10

Response from the owner:Wow, what a beautiful review, THANK YOU!! We are so honored and thankful you took the time to share your experience at Cande Bridal! It trully means the world

Kylie R.

I came to Cande bridal recently to choose my wedding dress and had the most amazing experience! Valentina went above and beyond what I had expected and was so personal with making sure I was comfortable with everything I was trying on. I would defiantly recommend going there for anyone else looking for a bridal dress. Especially having Valentina to help ☺️❤️

THANK YOU AGAIN !! 🥰❤️

Response from the owner:Thank you so so much Kylie, we are so grateful, and so humbled to read your review.

Madyson W.

The vibe was immaculate! After having gone somewhere else for my first appointment to try on dresses this was a refreshingly wonderful experience. Chelsea was absolutely fantastic , she was helpful, complimentary and so personable. She made the day feel so special , thank you Chelsea and thank you Cande Bridal! I definitely said yes to a dress! 💕

Talia D.

Cande bridal creates an enchanting wedding dress experience by having an intimate, bright space for you and your loved ones. The staff are all beyond friendly and knowledgable. I found both of my dresses there! My dress had something that needed fixing and they addressed it right away and were beyond accommodating. I would recommend Cande to any bride!

Response from the owner:My Gosh! Thank you SO MUCH! Please believe us when we say we will never forget you, and are so lucky you picked us to find your perfect Gowns! Xoxo

Taylor C.

Cande bridal boutique is where I purchased my wedding dress from for my June 8, 2024 wedding. This was the first bridal shop I visited and I found my dress during my first visit. Although I did not say “yes to the dress” that first day, I was comparing every single dress to that one at the few other bridal shops I visited after and knew that was THE dress. My bridal consultant at Cande was Chelsea and she made the experience so memorable and fun! At Cande they reserve the entire boutique for you which makes the experience that much more intimate and special to share with your friends/family while you find the wedding dress of your dreams. They have a wide variety of different styles to try on and truly every single one of their gowns are stunning. I HIGHLY recommend you visit Cande bridal.

Response from the owner:Thank you so, so much! We are so very thankful for your beautiful words

Laurie K.

Cande Bridal was to be the first wedding dress shop we visited, but it turned out we didn’t need to go anywhere else! My future daughter-in-law found her dream dress that day. The attendants were lovely, the dresses exquisite, and the prices excellent. They close the shop during your appointment, so you have their full attention, and you feel as though the whole experience warrants much higher-priced gowns. However, they keep their prices reasonable, and with their lovely selection, it is possible to find exactly what you’re looking for. I highly recommend this wedding dress boutique! Thank you, Cande for making the bride’s dress shopping dream come true 💗

Response from the owner:Awe Laurie! Thank you, that means the world to us. We trully loved having you, what a beautiful, beautiful family you guys have. I went home and told my husband about the beautiful and crazy love story your Son and Marika have! Trully incredible, we loved hearing it 💖

Madison C.

I cannot say enough good things about Cande bridal. From beginning to end of my appointment, the staff were kind and helpful. Chelsea is amazing!!! She listened to what i wanted, and had so much great advice. She helped me find the perfect dress (and it was the first one she had me try on). 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Response from the owner:Thank you, so, so much Madison! Your review truly means the world to us

Jessica B.

This was the best experience I could’ve asked for! My friends and I had the best time and it exceeded any expectations I had. Valentina is amazing and made the experience 10/10! The dresses are beautiful and the prices are so so reasonable! Chelsea, Adriana and the whole team were so welcoming and accommodating when we came in for a last minute measuring and dress try-on! Thank you all so much! ♥️

Response from the owner:Omg Jess!!! Thank you so much, we loved having you and are honoured to call you a #candebabe 🫶🏻 You really are stunning and we are so looking forward to see you back on your dress, in the correct size 🫶🏻

Roxy Y.

Had such a beautiful, joyful and most importantly private experience here. Chelsea was absolutely amazing, I can't thank her enough for just being herself and allowing me to be myself. Absolutely stunning gowns, 10/10 experience.

Response from the owner:Roxy!! Thank you so much, that truly means the world to us! You are amazing

Callissa B.

Response from the owner:Thank you beautiful!

T F.

I went dress shopping at some other places in town, this was BY FAR the best service.
I ended up buying my dress here and loved it.

Response from the owner:Yeyyy Thank you SO much for coming to Candé and giving us a chance. We are so thankful for your review

ULA R.

As the mother of the bride, watching my daughter find her perfect dress at Cande Bridal Boutique was an emotional and unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly attentive and patient, listening to her and offering guidance when she needed it most. The atmosphere was so intimate and special—it felt like they had designed the day just for her. I’m so grateful for the care they showed and for making this once-in-a-lifetime moment so perfect for all of us. Thank you, Cande Bridal Boutique!

Response from the owner:Aweeee THAN YOU!! you are the sweetest, really loved sharing that moment with you guys

Juan David Avendano R.

I wanted to surprise my bride with an unforgettable experience, and Cande Bridal Boutique exceeded all expectations. They crafted the perfect appointment for her, listening carefully and guiding her every step of the way. She had no idea what she wanted going in, but they knew exactly how to help her find her dream dress. Having her family there made it even more special. Thank you, Cande Bridal Boutique, for helping me create such a memorable moment for the love of my life!

Response from the owner:Thank you Juan! you are one lucky man! Beautiful family, so glad we were able to witness all that love you have

Sara T.

I had the most magical experience at Cande Bridal Boutique, thanks to a surprise appointment organized by my groom. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel special, listened to what I wanted (even when I didn’t have a clear idea), and guided me through the process with so much care. Having my mom, cousin, and sister-in-law there made the day even more perfect. I’m beyond grateful for the way they created this unforgettable moment for me. Thank you, Cande Bridal Boutique, for such a beautiful experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much! you deserve all the love you got! We are thrilled to have been able to share that moment with you and your beautiful family! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience and helping Kelowna Brides learn about us XO!!!

Codie W.

Candè is such a beautiful and modern bridal studio. I was blown away when we walked in with how bright and dreamy their space is. I loved that we had the entire space to ourselves, really making the experience so personalized. They carry such a beautiful assortment of wedding dresses. Masha was my personal consultant and she did such an incredible job at listening and picking out the most beautiful dresses for me. Masha was so kind, thoughtful and patient as I went in knowing nothing about dress shopping or dresses but she found the exact style I was after. My experience was 10/10. I highly recommend Candè Bridal!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you had such a great experience at Candè Bridal, and that Masha was able to help you find the perfect dress. We’re so happy to have been part of your journey and appreciate your recommendation! Wishing you all the best on your big day!

Cassandra C.

I honestly can't rave enough about Cande Bridal Boutique! The space is so beautiful and bright and I love the fact that it only allows for one Bridal party at a time so you feel cared for and honestly the experience is so special. Chelsea helped me pick my absolutely dream wedding dress and was so amazing! She was very thorough with explaining how the appointment would go kept me informed throughout. She listened to what I liked and didn't like and truly helped me feel so beautiful we laughed, we cried and overall it was an amazing experience. After my appointment I was torn between two dresses and never felt pressured to make a decision. I came back later and re-tried some dresses and finally found the one! Both appointments were incredible and both times Chelsea made me feel so amazing, like I had another friend along side me helping me through my decision. 5 Stars, 10 out of 10 experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this amazing review! We're thrilled you had such a special experience at Candè Bridal, and we're so glad Chelsea could help you find your dream dress. It means the world to us that you felt supported and never pressured. We're honored to be a part of your bridal journey!

Shaunna L.

Response from the owner:Yey!! Thank you so much

Shayla S.

I had the best experience at Cande with Chelsea. She really listened to what my likes and dislikes were, she explained the “plan” of the appointment at the start so we all knew what to expect. She is literally so sweet and funny. And the dresses are gorgeous with a wide range of selection. Really enjoyed every minute, thanks so much Chelsea!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Shayla. We are honoured to read your kind words 😍

Meghan G.

Amazing experience at Cande Bridal Boutique! The girls were so friendly, helpful, and attentive. The space is bright and beautiful, and I loved that they only have space for one bride at a time. It made the experience so much more personal and special. After dress shopping at 4 other bridal shops, I finally found my wedding dress at Cande Bridal and I could not be happier with it.

Response from the owner:Wow! This truly means the world to us. Knowing you shopped in many other places/cities and being able to help you find your gown was truly special! You are a gorgeous Bride and we are super thrilled to have you back once your gown is ready 🥰

Sandra A.

You absolutely have to book here! Our experience was 5 stars. From the warm welcome to the 1:1 assistance made it so easy and comfortable. The studio is stunning with personal touches that just make the whole experience so special. With options from local designers made it possible to have a dress custom fit with my limited time line. I cannot say enough about this place and am so grateful they became a part of this journey 🌸 Thank you to Adriana and the seamstress that was available today💕

Response from the owner:My gosh thank you! Truly, it was so special to have been able to help Barbara find the perfect gown 😍

Alysa P.

What an amazing experience! I highly recommend Cande Bridal. Chelsea created such a fun, positive, and supportive experience for me. She made me feel so confident in myself. There was a great selection of different dresses to choose from. This boutique was absolutely lovely.

Response from the owner:Thank you so, so much! You are so sweet for taking the time to write us those beautiful words

Jesse S.

A wonderful experience with Chelsea at Cande! She listened to all of my requests and added her professional touch showing me a dress I would have never thought of. Brought tears to my eyes. Can’t wait to come back!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review, and my sincerest apologies for the late reply! We're so happy to hear that Chelsea helped you find a dress that brought tears to your eyes. We are so thankful you took the time to share your experience with other Kelowna and Okanagan Brides :)

Brittney V.

I could not have hoped for a better experience than starting my dress shopping off at Cande. Chelsea created a laid back, fun and supportive environment to explore dresses. I left the salon with more body confidence than I've ever had, and that persists to this day. I'm so grateful to Chelsea for creating that experience for me!

Response from the owner:Honest to goodness if there is one thing we would love get from anyone, ever… is this feedback. What a wonderful gift you have given us with this review! Thank you 😊

Laura V.

I had such a wonderful experience with Masha during my appointment yesterday. She listened to exactly what I envisioned for a dress and was so helpful, positive, and creative. I would highly recommend this beautiful wedding boutique!

Response from the owner:Thank you so, so much for your beautiful words, we are so thrilled to have been able to have you! Hope to see you back soon ;)

Alanna B.

Most sweetest girls working there, totally helped me find what I was looking for in my dream dress as I had no idea going in. The appointment was so personalized and just all over amazing!

Response from the owner:Awee!! Yeyyy, we are so happy to read your review, thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Deanna A.

What a lovely shop and wonderful experience! We found a gorgeous gown for my daughter within our budget…it was also the first dress our consultant, Masha, grabbed. She was so knowledgeable and kind. We were so happy with all aspects of our visit. The store is lovely, the staff are wonderful and the dresses were exquisite! Thanks you!

Response from the owner:Can't even begin to thank you for giving us a chance and, of course for sharing your experience, XO

Neema J.

I cannot recommend this boutique enough! My appointment with Chelsey was nothing short of amazing. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable, making the whole experience not only successful but also so much fun!

What sets this boutique apart is their policy of only taking one appointment at a time. This meant I had the entire store to myself, which created a very intimate and personalized experience. I never felt rushed and was able to try on a wide variety of dresses, which ultimately helped me find the perfect one.

If you're looking for a wedding dress shopping experience that is stress-free, private, and tailored to your needs, this is the place to go. Thank you, Chelsey, and the team, for making this such a memorable and enjoyable experience!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Neema, this trully means the world to us
