Love these ladies!
All of these ladies are extremely helpful and accommodating. Even when you're indecisive like myself. I got a beautiful dress and also love the selection here!

Perfect wedding dress
I went into Camilla's with a general idea of what I wanted and some anxiety about whether I'd be able to choose a dress. Nivia instantly calmed my nerves with the dresses she picked for me to try on. With each one, she was helpful in pointing out which things could be altered without pushing me toward any of them. Once I got it down to two, she took pictures for me (I chose to go dress shopping alone because I'm easily swayed by friends' opinions and wanted to have a dress I loved) and encouraged me to think about it and come back. The dress I ended up with was beautiful, and I got many compliments on how perfectly "me" it was. I would absolutely recommend Camilla's. One piece of advice: If you go with their recommended seamstress (Violette) and have the option to try the altered dress on at Camilla's, do it. Violette did great work, but I found it helpful to have Nivia there too also making suggestions.

Excellent Place to get a Dress
Camilla's Bridal was fantastic! I just got my wedding dress from there and from the very first day they went above and beyond. I knew my dress was the one after looking online, and I emailed them to see if they had it in the store. Sure enough, they did, and it was gorgeous in person. It arrived right on time and the seamstress who did my alterations was excellent. They also put in an order for my veil, which I fell in love with and decided I couldn't live without :) They were so accommodating and kind, very good at communication and fast at responding. Really nice, polite people. When it time to get my dress for pickup, everything was perfect. Definitely highly recommend!

Beautiful dresses & fantastic service!
I highly recommend Camilla's! I got my wedding dress at Camilla's and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Nivia was so helpful, attentive, and made the shopping experience so enjoyable for me and my group. Camilla's is a small family business and so the personal attention and customer service you receive with shopping/buying/ordering a wedding dress is unmatched. There was also zero sales pressure which I greatly appreciated. Camilla's also did a great job of measuring me and ordering my dress according to my size. When the dress came in, it basically fit perfectly and I only needed minor alterations. I was also very impressed with their wide selection of beautiful yet reasonably priced dresses. A fantastic shop with beautiful dresses and amazing service!

Incredibly customized experience to find my perfect dress
The owner Nivia made the dress shopping experience so perfect and enjoyable for me and my group. I had forgotten when I booked my appointment months earlier that she had asked me to share my wedding dress Pinterest board with her. When I arrived, she had already pulled many dresses that she thought would fit my style. She couldn't have been more on point. I liked nearly every dress I tried on, narrowing it down to a couple that I loved, and finally to the beautiful Maggie Sottero dress I chose. She was also very easy to work with, responsive, and helpful in coordinating alterations and recommending accessories. I also worked with her mother from time to time, and she was great, as wel. I went to David's Bridal before coming here, and the two experiences couldn't have been more different. I can't recommend this shop enough. Thanks for everything, Nivia!

Friendly and supportive!
Maria helped me find my dress and was the perfect blend of attentive and not pushy. She gave me and my bridal party space to think and debate and did an amazing job of helping my find the perfect dress while staying in my budget.

Great dress shop
I bought my wedding dress at Camillas. Ultimately I ordered from them because they had the dress I liked the most, but I think their selection was more in line with my taste (classic, elegant) than some of the other places I went to. Got it altered by their associated seamstress, Violette, who did a nice job as well. The mother and daughter who run the place are super nice and helpful. My one word of advice would be to make sure you go into the sunny / bright part of the salon when making selections - they have an area near the register that is a bit dark - I sort of debated the veil I chose and think seeing the options in the brighter light would have been helpful.
