Both Gigi and Mina made the wedding dress shopping experience easy and fun. I had an idea for what I wanted in a dress, and they were able to customize my dress so that I was able to wear my dream. I was impressed with how responsive they were to my queries and the quality and professionalism of their work. Mina is a perfectionist as a seamstress and even added a blue heart to my dress to honor my father's memory. I couldn't be happier with this team!

Gigi and Mina are absolutely wonderful! They are in love with what they do and truly take the time to help you find what you are looking for, while having a blast. They pulled dressed that were stunning, in my price range, and perfect for me. Very reasonable and beautiful dresses! Sophia boutique is a great experience!

This place and the women who run it are gems! After visiting multiple wedding attire sites, on line and in person, I stumbled upon Sophia Boutique and was thrilled with their selection and expertise. Gigi and Mina are the BEST!

Words are not enough to express what Mina and Gigi did for me… I bought a wedding dress back in December from a boutique going out of business. The dress was 2 sizes too small and I was already losing weight for the wedding so I bought the dress thinking I would fit into it in a few months. I lost over 20lbs and tried on my wedding dress and it was still WAY too small. It was now 2 months until my wedding and I couldn’t stop crying. I was referred to Sophia’s boutique by another seamstress (who said Mina is the best in the business) in hopes she could add fabric, but the way the dress was made, she couldn’t add to it. Mina and Gigi found a dress in their store my size almost identical to the dress I had, but even more gorgeous in the details. They were willing adjust the new dress to my body by adding straps, ties in the back, and hemming in such short notice while this is such a busy time of year for them. These sisters are truly a blessing. This was the worst moment of my life with my most important day coming up, and they were so sweet and understanding. Thank you Mina & Gigi! xoxo

Any words written here today cannot express how amazing Mina is. I found Mina after buying my dress at another bridal salon and knowing alterations were going to quickly blow my budget out of the water. She handled my alterations skillfully and beautifully. She is amazing at what she does! Never once did I feel nervous and trust me I needed A LOT of alterations on my dress - including hemming which involved having the lace at the bottom of my dress cut off while I was wearing it. She and her sister are absolutely beautiful people who go out of their way to make you feel special and like you are one of their close friends. I met with them 4 times and never once was I rushed or felt like just another number. Their shop is well lite and very nicely decorated (which is extremely important since most places are not). If you need a wedding gown, formal dress, or alterations, I know for a fact Mina will go above and beyond to make you happy.

Found THE dress within minutes! Mina is extremely talented and her tailoring skills and knowledge are readily apparent. The store has beautiful, reasonable dresses and the area's best seamstress. An overall slam dunk.

Avoid at all costs

If you are a Jewish person or ally this isn't the place for you (ever) but especially not during an intimate moment in this special time in your life.

I was shocked to see the Sophia Bridal shop use the store instagram "story" to share anti-israel, anti-Semitic, anti-american propaganda.

The bridal shop itself has a very small selection of wedding gowns, making the sale attempt quite a pushy one! While the dresses are expensive, don't expect to have a luxurious experience here! The dressing "room" sits among a mess of empty boxes, plastic, and clearance dresses. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere.

Very Disappointed in Sophia Boutique

I truly wish I could write a more positive review on Sophia Boutique. Unfortunately, the owners overpromised and did not deliver. When selecting my gown, the owners both advertised the ability to add lace to the bottom of the gown - saying that they would source the lace and stitch it on. That was the only reason I said yes to that gown - because of the vision that Mina had provided on what the gown could look like.

Between March and September, they did not source the lace, requiring me to source it myself. Additionally, they were not communicative or responsive throughout the process.

Based on these issues, I informed Mina I was obtaining a new seamstress and wanted to pick up my gown - she advised she had not done the alterations, and that it would be ready for pickup. When I picked it up, she had completed alterations with haste so they were not done nearly to the degree of proficiency that they should have been - if I wasn't planning to take the dress, she would have had to completely redu them. She also wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount of money for completing alterations that I did not ask her to do.

The shop does have gorgeous dresses at a fair price, but it's not worth the stress that comes with an unreliable seamstress.
