More brides in Canada are shopping online for wedding supplies every year - and there's good reason why they increasingly prefer shopping on Canadian web stores. If you haven't jumped on the online shopping bandwagon yet, here are 10 excellent reasons why you should get started.
-
Canadian online shops have a bigger wedding supply collection versus local stores
There's no question that online wedding supply stores can provide you with far more to choose from than the average shop on the street. Rather than limit yourself to only what a local biz chose to stock, give yourself access to absolutely everything you could possibly dream of by browsing online instead. There are endless choices for invitations, cake toppers, wedding favours, floral arrangements, gifts for your wedding party, and so much more. It's all just a click of your mouse away! Need
DIY favour supplies - that's covered, too!
-
Free shipping offers
The days of Canadian brides schlepping home big boxes of decorations, invitations, and other wedding supplies are over. Buy online, enjoy the ease of
free shipping, and have your purchases delivered straight to your front door instead. It doesn't get any better than that!
-
Better prices for wedding supplies
Buying wedding supplies can be a pricey undertaking. But it doesn't have to be. Online stores don't have the expensive overhead that brick-and-mortar stores do, so they can pass along those savings to their customers via lower prices. You can also find flash sales online and be notified by signing up to learn of
instant deals! Additionally, online shopping makes it a snap to compare prices. You don't have to ask the owner of Store A to call the owner of Store B to verify the price you want them to match. Nor do you have to save flyers and advertisements as proof of the lower price you want matched. Instead, all you have to do is copy and paste the URL of the webpage showing the lower price, and your job is done - it takes mere seconds!
-
More Canadian retailer options
10 or 15 years ago, many Canadian brides felt the selection here at home was poor - so they typically bought from online stores in the U.S., and had to pay duty or import taxes on their purchases (or these stores "hide" these unavoidable cross border costs). Today, it's very different. There are lots of retailer options available here in Canada now, so you don't have to waste money on the costs of importing supplies from the U.S. or some other country. Bottom line:
Canadian brides save shopping in Canada!
-
Ability to save money by buying in bulk
Many brick-and-mortar stores don't have the storage space to stock large quantities of wedding supplies, so don't offer bulk pricing. Online stores, on the other hand, have no trouble at all with bulk orders and there are lots of savings to be had! Often,
the more wedding favours you buy, the lower per favour price. Nice!
-
Access to buyer reviews
Ask anyone you know about whether or not brand X, Y, or Z for your invitations is of good quality, and odds are no-one will know. But, one of the best things about
buying online is the availability of reviews from buyers who have come before you. It's no longer necessary to buy things and cross your fingers that they'll be of good quality - you can verify before you buy by seeing what other purchasers have to say. You can even shop other sites for reviews and then find the best deals on a Canadian shopping site.
-
Easy access to the newest designs
Due to space limitations, all of the newest designs aren't always available in the store down the street. And you guessed it! Online
wedding supply stores have no such limitations so can easily offer you the latest and greatest fashions, designer decor, and trending accessories.
-
Convenience
Buying online makes wedding planning easy. It's a snap to compare prices, you don't have to leave the comfort of your home, you'll save loads of time, there are no lineups to deal with, and making your purchases is as easy as making a few clicks of your mouse! Also, you can get more than
supplies and decor at online wedding shops as the top shops provide great articles on the latest
wedding trends and money saving tips written by wedding professionals.

Show support for Canadian businesses
Buy Canadian to show support for homegrown businesses! With the savings available and great selection, there's no reason not to. In fact,
premium wedding favour lines are now designed and distributed right here in Canada!

Avoid purchases made under pressure
Finally, buying online allows you to avoid high pressures sales tactics. If you're debating between a few styles of cake topper, or need more time to choose the perfect invitation design, there's never an impatient salesperson looking over your shoulder and hurrying you along. You can take all the time you need to consider your options and choose the one that's truly the best fit for your special day.
