Made the Dress of My Dreams, and at an Amazing Price!

I could not have had a better experience working with Laura at A Bride's Design! I was getting very discouraged trying to find a black-and-white wedding gown I liked, so I reached out to Laura to see if she could make a custom gown for me. She was SO KIND and SO PATIENT when I told her my ideas. Laura created the most amazing design that was EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL than what I envisioned! Not only that, the custom gown only took about four months for her to make, and when it was ready, it fit me like a glove and was of the HIGHEST quality. I fell absolutely IN LOVE with it (and so did the groom when he saw it), and I got nothing but the highest praise for it from my wedding guests. Not only that, the price was SO REASONABLE for a completely custom gown that I couldn't believe it. I can't thank and recommend Laura enough for lending her immense talent to make me look so beautiful on my big day!

An Amazing Experience From Start to Finish!

Laura and her team were so professional and amazing to work with for our wedding! Her shop is beautiful and her staff are well versed in their attire. I enjoyed working with them and appreciated their patience as I spent a few appointments to make my ultimate dress decision. I had a couple reservations about structure/fit, and Laura was able to customize the dress with extra boning support and varied fabric for more security for my specific wishes. When I went to pick up the dress, I thought I might then have to make these adjustments with a seamstress, but she had already customized the order and had the dress produced that way. I was blown away! It really made me feel special and secure in my choice! And her fees are very reasonable on top of all the special treatment I felt I had received!
We also purchased my Matron of Honor's dress from her shop (we had a very small wedding, just a single bridesmaid so this was the only dress we needed for our bridal party) and it also arrived on time and was gorgeous! I ended up purchasing my beautiful hair pin from her as well. You can tell she carefully curates her available stock to go together beautifully.
I really felt so well taken care of, and am glad to have helped support a local businesswoman! I cannot recommend A Bride's Design enough!!

They made my dream come true!

The most amazing bridal shop - ever! Such wonderful and caring staff. I had a specific look for what I wanted, and the owner, Laura, literally sketched it up and created my dream dress! There's no better feeling than having my own one-of-a-kind dress for our special day! The dress was such great quality and beyond stunning! Also purchased beautiful accessories here too! Highly recommend!

Beautiful little boutique!

I absolutely love my wedding dress that I found at A Bride’s Design! The boutique is small enough that it is not overwhelming, but they still have a varied selection of dresses to choose from. All of the styles are gorgeous and very affordable. The front of my dress was sheer, but Laura was able to sew in extra fabric to customize it how I wanted. I felt so beautiful wearing my dress on my wedding day!

Laura is an amazing designer and seamstress. She did an absolutely beautiful job on my personally requested Victorian vintage wedding design, that exceeded my expectations. If you are looking to have the wedding dress of your dreams uniquely created for you, call Laura! She was also very accommodating to my very hectic schedule. Laura excels at customer service, and I highly recommend her.

Truth be told, I was dreading the dress-finding process. I do not wear a lot of dresses in general, and I the prospect of trying on dozens in one day was incredibly stressful. A Bride's Design was my final stop of the day, and I have to say I'm glad it was. After hours of being crammed into gowns that were not my style and feeling like the salespeople were only interested in making the biggest possible commission, I walked into a beautiful old home and was greeted by the fabulous Laura. I instantly felt like Laura cared about making my day special and ensuring I loved my gown. Her designs are all lovely in unique ways and can be customized with the multitude of accessories she offers. When it was clear I'd found "the dress," Laura went to work. Before I knew it, I was also wearing a gorgeous veil, a blingy sash, sparkly earrings and a matching bracelet. It was all so perfect together, and made me feel for the first time like a real bride-to-be. Needless to say, I bought the whole package.

Laura and her team were also wonderful in helping me schedule fittings on a tricky timeline (I live in California), and made sure to keep me updated on the status of everything in the months leading up to the big day. I couldn't have been happier with my dress or the quality of service I received at A Bride's Design. Thanks again!

Laura and her team did such an amazing job on my dress. I walked in to the store and saw a sample in my style. Once I tried the sample on, Laura sketched up the dress I was looking for and got it on order. I could not have asked for a better dress! The price was reasonable for having ordered a personally designed dress and alterations are also extra. I ordered the dress in October of 2016, and we came down to the wire and the week of my wedding in late August 2017 for it to be finished, but it fit and looked beautiful on my day. I have received many compliments. I also ordered my veil from here. I highly recommend working with A Bride's Design!

A Bride's Design is absolutely the most incredible bridal shop. Laura the owner is completely incredible and so great to work with. Any of the ladies who work in the shop are wonderful at helping and so kind. Everyone here makes the experience so special. I bought my custom wedding dress, custom veil and a custom hair piece from a Bride's Design. Every single piece was completely gorgeous and I received so compliments on it all. The whole process with them makes you feel so special. Their shop is so adorable and personal. It truly makes you feel like a bride from the moment you walk in. She has a huge selection of anything you could want as a bride and everything is high quality, reasonably priced and completely gorgeous. I highly recommend working with a Bride's Design! I am eternally grateful for how much they impacted my perfect day!

Laura is an incredibly talented designer! I have had the pleasure of photographing several brides that she has dressed. Additionally, I wore a dress designed by Laura for my wedding! Working with Laura was an absolute pleasure! She has a beautiful little boutique that really gives you a personalized experience. It is the complete opposite of walking into somewhere like a David's Bridal where there are brides everywhere and you are bound to walk out of the dressing room wearing the same gown as the girl next to you. That's not a very special bridal moment. At A Bride's Design you can expect to have that special bridal moment! There is also something wonderful about meeting the person who actually designed the gown you are wearing. She understands that garment inside and out, so if you have a question about the fit or a way of altering it, she will be able to completely understand what you are asking and work with you to achieve your dream dress experience! As one of Laura's satisfied brides, and as a professional who has photographed many of her brides, I can say with absolute certainty that A Bride's Design is an excellent place to find your wedding gown!
