“I can’t even begin to explain how incredible the owner at The Bride's Closet is.I work with Chinook Business Advisory, and a colleague and I travelled up to Nanaimo for the Business Excellence awards. It was a black tie event and I had ordered gala gown from Lulus. As soon as I got up to Nanaimo, we stopped at the mall to quickly change before hitting the conference centre. I barely even touched the zipper on my dress and it popped off, rendering me dressless. I was mortified! I was going up to a black tie event for work and I was in mom jeans and flip flops.I called 3 bridal shops, all of which were closed. When I called The Bride's Closet, she said she had just left. I begged her to turn around and see if she could fix my zipper, and the kind soul she is, she did.When I busted in the door and begged for her help (in her absolutely beautiful shop located in a victorian heritage house) she took a look at it. Moments later, she says “why don’t I loan you a dress instead” because she determined she wouldn’t be able to fix it in time for the event that I was already 20 minutes late for.The first dress she grabbed was a stunning red dress that fit perfectly. She cut the tags off and told me to take it. I nearly broke into tears at the sheer kindness of her, and I'm kicking myself desperately for not getting her name. I am making a note to call her as soon as they open.Not only did she hand me a stunning dress to wear, she didn’t charge me a dime. When I asked her how to get the dress back to her, she told to KEEP IT. (I will be mailing it back or finding a way to repay her, don't worry!!)Its people like this that change the world every day with their overwhelming kindness. I talked about her and The Bride’s Closet all night, and it sure was a story to tell. I’d also like to add that everyone I spoke to was OBSESSED with the stunning dress I was wearing. It was incredibly beautiful, and such high quality! I felt like the star of the show.Please, if you’re considering visiting this stunning little shop, purchasing a dress, getting tailoring, or just want to support it in any way, DO IT!!!!! Support this incredible woman with the most stunning bridal boutique in Nanaimo BC. <3 <3 <3”
