    I found my dream wedding gown at Brides for a Cause!

    The selection at Brides for a Cause was incredible--from less expensive labels to couture gowns--and there were so many styles and sizes. The staff was wonderful, attentive, and really made my experience special by offering great feedback and helping me shop accessories. My experience was excellent and I couldn't recommend this location more highly for future brides!

    Excellent!

    Really enjoyed our trip here. It was the first and only bridal shop I needed to visit- my dress ended up being the second one I tried. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the variety of styles was excellent!

    Best Bridal Shop with Reasonable Prices + Inclusive Sizes

    Ever since I heard about Brides for a Cause from a friend, I've been raving about them to all of my friends looking for wedding dresses, formal dresses (ranging from short, midi, to long), bridal separates (tops, skirts, pants), and accessories (veils, jewelry, hair pieces, shoes, etc.).

    Not only are we contributing to amazing causes, but also giving clothes a new life. Everything's so reasonable compared to going to retail stores and buying everything new.

    Scheduling is super easy where you can make appointments online. They were even willing to meet virtually to go over the items they had since Sacramento is a far drive from San Francisco.

    One of my favorite parts about their stores is how inclusive and organized their sizings are. I struggled to find my size 14 in bridal shops, but their store makes it so easy to find what you need. Highly recommend their store to anyone and everyone!

    An Amazing Gem for the Conscientious Bride

    I'm due to be married in January, and my entire family is excited for my nuptials! Suffice it to say, I had a decent entourage of about 5 plus myself. I booked on an off-day (Monday) and Brides for a Cause was kind enough to allow everyone in.
    The selection was wonderful, even for a plus size bride like me (I'm a 16 off-rack). There was a wide variety of styles and the prices were excellent. Think of this as boutique consignment shopping.
    These are mostly designer and high end dress samples from previous seasons, so although they're in style, i did see make up stains, small rips, and the like. Nothing a good seamstress and cleaning cant take care of, but just be aware.

    Amazing place!

    Brides for a Cause is amazing! The store is beautiful and such a fun experience to be able to shop the racks directly. Everyone was so kind and helpful. If that wasn’t enough, the dresses are affordable and help support wonderful charities. I found a huge selection of all sizes and styles. Highly recommend!

    Amazing! So much inventory!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this store!!!not only are the dresses gorgeous, they are affordable and everything goes to such great causes. I bought my first dress about 4 months before my wedding. Lost way too much weight and had to find a new one 2 weeks before our day. I went 3 times trying to find my dress. I went by my self on one occasion, the staff was so accommodating…even when I had a bit of a panic attack. They brought me water, let me site, talked to me. I came back again the following week and found the most perfect dress. They never made me feel silly for constantly coming back, even trying the same dress on over and over. You must come visit this store!!!

    Found my Cinderella dress!

    Went to Brides for a Cause after my cousin found her wedding dress there, went in thinking I wanted a pink dress but came out with a gorgeous sparkly ball gown that is basically Cinderella. My consultant was my fairy godmother for sure!

    Amazing, please go here!

    This place is amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I loved that I got to look through the dress selection myself and didn’t have to tell a sales person I didn’t like a dress they pulled for me (I’m very picky). The staff let’s you do your thing and assists when asked. I found my dress here, a couture dress that originally cost $6,200 and I got it for $1,200. The best part is that the proceeds go to helping women. I couldn’t ask for anything better!

    Easy and amazing!

    Booked my appointment same day and came in. Staff was so helpful and reassuring. When I wanted to put two dresses on hold for family to see the next day, they were so flexible in making sure that could happen. Found "the one" the next day with my family and was able to put it on hold to sleep on it. Felt great to know I could decide and come get it the next day. Absolutely would recommend this to anyone who's looking for great quality second hand gowns at an affordable price. The selection of styles is very impressive! :)

    Brides, shop here!

    I had the BEST experience shopping at Brides for a Cause! My brother’s fiancée got her dress there and highly recommended it to me, and I’m so glad she did! I went with my gals December 2022 during their end of the year sale. The shop is clean, well organized, and shockingly calm in energy. They were super sweet and accommodating even though traffic made me late for my appointment. I tried on around half a dozen dresses, and an EXTREMELY friendly and helpful worker caught my vibe and pulled the dress I ultimately ended up picking!! She said it had just come in and they hadn’t put it on the floor yet. I was super impressed by her and her knowledge of the inventory. They also had my dream veil from Tailored Tulle, and that’s when I got emotional. Everything about the day was perfect and I am so so so grateful!! I recommend Brides for a Cause to EVERY person I meet, and now TWO of my friends have found their dream dresses in the last month alone. Go go go! You won’t regret it!

    Amazing dresses, price, and cause

    Brides for a cause was a fantastic experience. It was cheaper than the other bridal salon we went to, better selection and dresses, and supported fantastic causes. The staff were friendly, helpful, and kind. I was able to get a gorgeous $2000 wedding dress for $500 that had never been worn by a bride before. I tried on 15 dresses, brought my friends and family, and had a wonderful time trying on dresses with other brides nearby. Absolutely fantastic experience!

    Amazing experience!

    I had a positively fabulous experience at Brides for a Cause! Not only did I get my dream dress at a wonderful discount but I got the peace of mind that I was also helping charities with this purchase! The staff was wonderfully helpful without being too hover-y. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride!

    Great Variety and Budget Friendly

    10/10 Absolutely AMAZING! Great selection of dresses and advice on alterations. Shop was very clean, including the bathroom, and had good mirrors to view the dresses. The staff politely enforced the mask policy which was a great relief for me and my family. The prices were very affordable and I loved being able to try on dresses in MY size and not worrying about how it would look if I ordered it in a different size. I recommend bringing someone with you to help with clamping you into dresses if needed.

    Stop Shopping and go to Brides for a Cause

    The most stress free delightful wedding dress experience. I got the dress of my dreams for $1200, when it was originally $3k+. The associates are the warmest, most down to earth wonderful people who get out of your way so that you can find the dress YOU want and celebrate the wins with you. I made an appointment two days before and my future mother in law and I walked in and 40 minutes later walked out with the perfect dress, raving about Brides for a Cause. I tried on a bunch of dresses in a low pressure environment with other brides around who were excited and real and supportive.

    Amazing selection, affordable prices, and friendly/helpful service!

    I had a great experience at Brides for a Cause! The selection was way bigger/better than I was expecting. The staff was friendly and helpful, they will help as much as you want/need, but let you do your own thing if you prefer. The process of booking an appointment time slot was easy and I got email reminders about my time I booked. At the end of my hour time slot I appreciated that they didn’t just kick me out, they allowed me to finish and said no rush, I ended up being there closer to an hour and a half. A lot of the dresses I tried on were around $300 so great prices! I would definitely recommend Brides for a Cause to anyone else in need of a wedding dress!

    AMAZING, definitely start your dress search here!

    My dress is nothing like what I thought I wanted but when I tried it on it felt great and the pockets sealed the deal!

    More importantly, I could not have loved Brides for a Cause more. They had a ton of choices and so many really different styles at a fraction of the retail cost.. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone who is looking for a wedding dress x100! Their staff was so SO helpful and friendly and this big bonus is that all purchases support women-focused charities.

    Amazing dress shopping

    My dress shopping experience was so wonderful. They were hands on when needed but let us do our own thing, which I loved! The prices were incredible! Some dresses had minor flaws but nothing some simple hemming couldn’t fix and with the prices, I could never complain. Found my dream dress (with pockets) right away 🤩

    Love Brides for a Cause!

    I've always thought the idea of a dress that you only wear once seems so ridiculously wasteful and expensive. I was thrilled to learn about Brides for a Cause and how they support charities while decreasing waste in the wedding industry! I plan to wear my purchased dress and return it for a third life! ❤ (pictured are some of the dresses that I didn't select)

    Amazing gowns, affordable prices!!

    Brides for a Cause is so wonderful! I bought an amazing Eve of Milady at about 80% off, then went back when we decided I needed a different color dress and got 2 more gorgeous dresses with wonderful beadwork at crazy prices! You don't want to miss out!

    Eco friendly high end dresses for less

    I had an amazing experience here and found the perfect dress for our beach elopement! Many of the dresses are unique, high end brands that wouldn't be in my budget normally and are in perfect condition. I feel really good about the reduced environmental impact and the charitable mission too! I fell in love with the first dress I tried. I decided to try the others I initially picked out just for fun and ended up loving them all and having to make a really tough choice. The staff were all very sweet and helpful. They don't pick out styles for you, but they are available to help zip you up, add clips for fit, and give advice if desired. Not pushy at all and were very knowledgable about dress styles, alterations, etc. It was so refreshing! They can provide you with a list of trusted tailors and cleaners as well. I had such a positive experience here and can't recommend them enough!
