Natty Bella is an absolute hidden gem that deserves attention in San Diego county due to their professionalism and large selection of dresses which is not apparent at first sight when you go to the shopping center. They have designer collections from Eddy K, Mori Lee, Justin Alexander and Randy Fenoli! I was also very happy to see a good variety of bridal hair pieces that weren't flimsy or tawdry at all- something that is sadly too commonplace in bridal stores.

I cannot compliment Yessmin enough for being so flexible with me when it comes to working the night shift, and coordinating my family and members of my bridal party to try on dresses. To put it in perspective: Everyone in my wedding lives over 90 minutes away from San Diego and has traditional days off- I don't. I also have a bilingual crowd, so being able to communicate across language and culture made things SO MUCH EASIER.

While I did not purchase my dress here, the first time I saw their bridesmaid dress selection from Mori Lee, I knew that I wasn't going to look anywhere else: The color selection and quality was exactly what I was hoping to find. I did purchase my veil and hair pieces, and my mother purchased her MoB dress here.

For any brides-to-be in San Diego, Natty Bella is well worth your time. I never felt pressured at all to make an immediate decision, and I was always treated very kindly. Prices were also VERY reasonable.
For some options that were on clearance, I was told that they could not guarantee stock, and that is a completely fair comment to make.

Please note: Because this is an independently owned business, the store operates largely on an appointment only basis to give their clients undivided attention. I have been lucky to stop by a couple of times to take a quick look or make a quick purchase after my dress appointment.

While I didn't purchase my dress from Natty Bella, Miss Tina altered it for me, and made it absolutely PERFECT. I am just in love with how this dress came out. It fit my body like a glove!

Tina is so kind, so encouraging, and an amazing seamstress. She made just the most beautiful French bustle for my gown. I will absolutely go back to Tina for any gown alterations and recommend her to any bride. Thank you!

I purchased my gown before this shop opened. The owner did a fabulous job of altering my gown and even helped me pack it in a case for my wedding in Hawaii. She has many lovely gowns in her shop.

The gals at the store were wonderful and really made me feel comfortable when trying on dresses. They did not pressure me to choose too quickly but I am happy with the decision I made and cant wait to share pictures after my big day!
