    Exceeded my Dress Shopping Expectations

    I personally was not looking forward to the whole dress shopping experience but Ferndales really made the experience great! I had 8 guests with me and we were able to have a whole section of the store to ourselves. I tried on probably 8-10 dresses and found THE dress right away! I liked that they were open on Sundays, did not have a guest count limit and carried all the designers I liked. My dress fit like a glove so the only alteration I needed was to get it hemmed. Every appointment made was easy to schedule and the staff was very friendly! Happy my MIL found them :)

    2nd Generation Ferndales Bride

    Ferndales made dress shopping fun and easy during Covid. They created a digital inventory album and pulled every dress I wanted prior to my arrival. I was allowed to bring 2 people with me but the also let us zoom with the rest of my family.my Mother bought her dress there 27 years ago and the shop is still just as helpful and the seamstress tailored my dress like a glove.

    Lovely family, BEAUTIFUL results!

    I don't even know where to start but here we go! Connie is a gem of a woman and a magician with her product. I went on a whim after realizing I did need a "real" dress even though I was having a small elopement style wedding. Right away I was greeted with a smiling face and excitement and all the help I needed to find my perfect dress. Without knowing what I was looking for we found a few potential dresses, I didn't want a long dress though. In what seemed like only a few minutes we found a few dresses, when I expressed my desire for a mid length dress Connie was thrilled with the idea of creating a masterpiece out of a dress already on the floor and WOW she did not disappoint!! Each time I went in for alterations she was pleasant personable and just the sweetest, not to mention she was able to do all this in less than SEVEN days and did a beautiful job! Her and her family really know how to help make a bride glow! I love it so much I wish I could wear it everywhere!!

    Perfect Salon for Those with Unusual Needs

    Finding this salon was a miracle in and of itself. I was a bride with a very strict budget but also a very set vision. And it didn't help matters that I was a plus sized bride. I had fallen in love with the designer Maggie Sottero due to her amazing vintage inspired pieces but I knew she was wildly out of my price rage. I knew buying off rack or online was an option but it made me nervous to buy a dress I had never tried on. This is where Ferndales came into play.

    They work with a website called The Gown Loft which has lots of designer dresses that are off rack or used to be samples. You just tell the salon which ones you want to try on and they get them in store. It helps the process feel more like a traditional salon appointment but helps save you a ton of money.

    I was lucky to find the dress of my dreams that fit like a glove. We did run into some issues because of my larger chest size but they worked with me over the two months leading up to my wedding to find a solution and everything went well in the end. They were always very quick with alterations and while I may have been able to save money going private or shopping around I trusted them with the dress and knew they would provide quality work in a timely manner.

    I have no regrets going through this salon for my wedding dress and would recommend them to anyone who is a less than traditional bride.

    This is a family owned business. They hand pick their dresses very carefully. All the employees are so attentive and very sweet. The owners make you feel like family. My dress was absolutely amazing!!

    Thanks, Cierra! We would love to see pictures of your wedding! Blessings from our family to yours!

    Ferndales didn't have dresses in my budget, but within 24 hours of me asking, connected me with their sister store- The Gown Loft- and let us use the Ferndales store to try on dresses I found online from that store. I found my dream dress, and both the Ferndale owners and Anne from Gown Loft were amazing. Loved every minute of my experience.

    This review is super late! But I went shopping for my wedding dress last June for my wedding this year March 31. Ana helped me find my dream dress. She was really nice and made me feel very comfortable trying on dresses. I let her know what I was looking for when I got there and the first dress I tried on was the one! After purchasing the dress it was ready a few months early! I was thrilled. Thank you so much Ferndales and Ana!

    I found the perfect dress at Ferndales Bridal in Orange, and the owner Connie brought my 1960’s dream to life with her inspired alterations. ADORABLE. Everyone gushed over my unique dress. It’s so cute I’ll keep for special occasions…like a trip to Vegas or anniversary dinner.

    Ferndales has a super selection of affordable and designer dresses. And know that Connie’s team can customize a dress to suit your exact style.

    Connie and the Ferndales’ team was amazing!

    This was the second place I visited to try and find my wedding dress. After trying on a few, Ana and team helped me find the perfect dress. We event cancelled our next appointment because I knew it was THE DRESS. I cannot thank the team enough, they were AMAZING and they have a really good selection of dresses and very well priced.

    My dress was delivered and fit great! I only needed a few alterations and Connie immediately stepped in a knew what to do. I had a few different fittings, even while they were moving locations. They made me and my family feel special, always fit us in and had the alterations ready when I came in for my fittings. I received a lot of one-on-one attention from Connie and Ana, they made me feel so special and beautiful.

    My dress was absolutely perfect for the big day and was exactly what I’d always dreamed of. Definitely add Ferndales to your list if you’re shopping for your wedding dress.

    I got my wedding dress here because they carried the specific style I wanted to try on. They let me come in without an appointment to try it on, and I immediately fell in love with it. Although I did not need that many alterations done, the few that I got were done beautifully and I could not be happier with my experience at Ferndales Bridal!

    My daughter found her dream gown at Ferndales and Connie made it fit like a glove! Not only that, she corrected the alterations on two bridesmaids dresses that had not been done properly at a different shop and they turned out beautifully. Thank you to everyone at Ferndales for being a big part of this special time in our lives!

    Connie, Crystal & the whole Ferndales family were amazing and helped me so much throughout the whole dress process; from purchasing to fitting & alterations to picking up the gown the week of the wedding. I was so lucky to have found Ferndales with the help of my mom. I walked in tried on a few dresses and knew right away which one was mine which was surprising to me because they have such a large collection of beautiful wedding gowns. I went on a weekday, so the atmosphere was very calm and the staff at Ferndales were very friendly and I felt not rushed at all to make any decisions, which was very nice. When it came to fittings and alterations Connie was amazing and really did an awesome job with my dress and the bustle, I am very pleased with the services provided.

    I had such an amazing experience at Ferndales! They feel like family now! I had originally found a dress at Demetrios Bride, but the sales staff was extremely pushy and seemed to care more about making a sale then making me feel special. Although i loved the dress, I couldn't handle the "used car sales" tactics they were trying to use to get me to buy a dress on the spot. At the suggestion of a friend, I made an appointment to come try on dresses at Ferndales, a family owned boutique in Orange. Connie (owner) greeted me immediately. She was so sweet and extremely helpful. Her daughter, Emily assisted me during the appointment. She was knowledgeable and NOT pushy at all. I felt so calm during the fitting and immediately knew I was in good hands. I ended up finding a Maggie Sottero dress that was almost identical to the dress that I fell in love with at the other store. I actually ended up buying my bridesmaids dresses from Ferndales as well. Emily called me as soon as the dress came in so that I could try it on and make sure it was exactly what I wanted. As the wedding date approached, we had several fittings. It was a pleasant experience every time. Connie treated me like one of her daughters and made sure that I was 100% happy at every fitting. I received so many compliments on the dress. I would HIGHLY recommend Ferndales. I can't thank them enough for helping make my wedding experience so wonderful!

    Although not much to look at from the outside, this bride store has an incredible selection of lots of different styles of dresses. I needed to find a dress and get altered within 1 week (long story) and I was so happy I found this store! There was a large selection of dresses in my size and ended up falling in love with one that was completely different from what I had in mind. The whole family and staff that work there were so helpful and gave me great advice. She rushed my alterations and I had my finished dress within a few days. Such a pleasant experience working with them!

    I had looked at a couple of different bridal shops before deciding on Ferndale's. They aren't the 'glamorous' shop you see advertised in the magazines, but they had the most beautiful dresses with the best selection! Ana worked REALLY hard to find a dress that I would like, and I never felt one bit of pressure from her, unlike two other stores I went to. The owner of the store was great when it came time to do the fittings for the dress. They were flexible and very respectful of my time. The alterations came out perfect! I would not hesitate to recommend Ferndales to any bride.

    Ferndales has a large selection of wedding dresses in all styles and price ranges. The clerk listened to what the bride wanted and brought out many different styles, but the bride found her dream dress in the second dress she tried on!

    Worked with Anna through out the entire dress process and lover her and the entire staff. I lost a lot of weight after the dress selection and needed alterations and I wanted LOTS of extra tulle in my dress and it turned out perfectly, exactly how I wanted and fit me beautifully!!

    I had such a great experience with the team at Ferndale's. Ana helped me find my dress (Sottero & Midgley's Harlow) for my Sept. 2012 wedding - it was the 4th dress I tried on. After heading to a fussier bridal shop, we hightailed it back to Ferndale's since they had high quality dresses at good prices and seemed to know what they were doing. My fittings all went really well and my dress looked great on the big day. Since then, my two best friends have purchased their dresses there as well! One girl bought a Blu by Mori Lee for her April 2013 wedding and another an Allure dress for August 2013. It seems to be a tradition now.

    Love Connie and the girls. Wonderful selection and various price points. Also do custom work. Not a flashy place, just great service. They make you feel like family. My sister also used Ferndale's. We have recommended them to several friends who have all been just as happy.

    The staff at Ferndale's is spectacular. Ferndale's has a huge selection of dresses and Ana did not mind me coming in 3-4 different times to try on every dress I wanted to. My fittings went great, my alterations were perfect; I even had a bolero custom made to match my strapless dress and it matched perfectly. The girls at Ferndale's take a stressful task of finding THE dress and making it into an enjoyable occasion. I might also add, their pricing is VERY fair and reasonable, of course depending on your budget.

    I made quite a few alterations to my off the rack dress. I purchased an Impressions Bridal Freda wedding dress for an amazing price and took off one strap as well as put in a corset back. Although I did have a few more fittings then I originally imagined I knew I was in good hands the entire time! Service was amazing and friendly. My dress turned out to be 1000% better then what I could of ever imagined!
