I said yes to my dress!

The boutique is beautifully designed with private rooms, marble floors and a stunning photo op wall. They have a great selection of dresses, which is organized and easy to navigate. Brittany was my stylist and made my shopping experience fun and easy! She selected great options for me to try on and asked me thoughtful questions to help me narrow down my selection. I went back for my second visit this past weekend and said yes to the dress! I wanted to make a few customized changes to the dress, which their seamstress will be able to accommodate (for an additional charge). I highly recommend The White Flower and Brittany!

Say yes to your dress here!

From beginning to end, Hanna was so incredible! Such a kind, charismatic, patient & genuine person. She cared SO much, she created ✨THAT DREAM MOMENT✨ that any bride is looking for. She took the time to figure out what I wanted, took the time to literally put me into the final 2 dresses and compare & contrast to figure out what I really wanted, had me try them both on in different lighting to make sure the dress is what I wanted, she was an amazing stylist! She made my girls and future mother in law feel included throughout this whole process. I am telling you, if you are looking for a dress, I highly recommend this bridal store and highly recommend to have Hanna help you throughout this process. She made it so fun!
She honestly could’ve pitched air to me and I would’ve bought it lol

We reside in the Murrieta area and this experience was well worth the drive!
The store was so beautiful & aesthetically pleasing. Super clean! And ugh, the backdrop for photos? Loved it.
I has gone shopping around that day to a couple other stores and I knew in my heart I HAD to come back to say yes!

Hanna girl, I love you & am forever grateful to you and your kindness ❤️ thank you a million times over for helping me say yes to the dress, making my vision come to life and for making me feel beautiful

Thank you, White Flower!

Although I purchased my wedding dress elsewhere (in Naples, FL), The White Flower took me in with open arms to do my alterations. They also kindly stored my dress for me for what ended up being a couple of years (rather than a couple of months) due to COVID. I was so grateful that my dress was in safe hands. Taye & Mary were incredibly patient and detailed through multiple fittings and alterations until my dress fit like a beautiful, lacy mermaid glove. Thank you to Taye, Mary & The White Flower team for your kindness and talent, and for being a part of my special once in a lifetime day!

Best place for alterations!

I did my bridal dress alterations at this boutique and absolutely loved the final results! I bought my dress elsewhere because I only recently moved to San Diego. The dress was not one they carried in store (Maggie Sottero Nola), but they really took a dress I loved and elevated it to a dress I was obsessed with. I had a vague idea about the sort of alterations I wanted, but when I met with Mary it was clear she was the expert. She suggested a bunch of small alterations (e.g., moving over a button) that really made the whole dress come together perfectly. She also managed to get a beautiful French bustle on a dress with a substantially longer lace train than the rest of the dress. She has magic hands! I got my dress dry cleaned here a couple weeks after our wedding & will be returning to get it preserved when I am ready.

The best bridal boutique in San Diego!

The staff was welcoming as soon as you entered through the door. Brittany, my stylist, made sure to go over the Covid guidelines and helped us feel at ease.

I loved my whole experience here. From walking into our suite to try on dresses, to finally saying yes to the dress, Brittany did such a great job of picking out styles I asked for. She even gave suggestions I never considered.

After I said yes to the dress, The White Flower made sure to keep me updated with my upcoming appointments. Mary (head seamstress) also did an amazing job with my alterations. She even suggested a pair of dangling earrings that went so well with my dress. She is so knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend my friends/family to look for their perfect dress here!

Complicated Dress Made Easy

Mary was AMAZING. As soon as I walked in for my first fitting, I could tell she knew what she was doing. She was so easy to work with and took my complicated dress (so many layers to figure out how to bustle) and bustled it with such brilliance, you couldn't even tell. She taught my sisters how to do the bustle and was so efficient. It was so easy to dance in when it was all done! I loved working with Mary!!

Very attentive and beautiful dresses!

I worked with Kali she was absolutely wonderful to work with! Perfect balance of letting me guide the process and providing us with her knowledge and expertise on everything from style to timeline to what would be possible with alternations. So many fairy-tale options to chose from!

From the minute I started looking at gowns, I was drawn to Essense of Australia because of the detail on their gowns and their price point. My sister had found her gown at White Flower a year earlier and had a good experience, and the boutique carries Essense so I scheduled an appointment to go during a trunk show. It was 11 months before my wedding and I had no expectation of finding my gown that day, but I absolutely did. All the consultants at White Flower are lovely! They are attentive, and helpful but absolutely know when to step back and let you work through your own thoughts and emotions on each dress. The boutique itself is cute, intimate and very comfortable. The consultants stayed in touch with me throughout the process and I never had a problem scheduling an appointment when it was convenient for me to get down there. I wasn't sure if I wanted a veil but the first one that I tried on was perfect, plain and long to complement and compete against the dress. I received so many compliments on my dress and the dress looks stunning in all the wedding photos. I would absolutely recommend White Flower Bridal to any bride who's looking to start her wedding gown search.
