Wedding Dresses and Gowns in San Diego

Getting alterations done with Margaret's was a great experience. The Bridal Manager, Brittany, was very responsive and flexible with my daughter's appointments. Lillian, the person that did the alterations, was excellent. She was very experienced in knowing what would work with the dress and what would not look as good. We trusted her advice completely.

Brides for a Cause is a lovely place to find the perfect dress for your special day. I actually found two dresses - one for the ceremony and another for the reception. They have a lovely, helpful staff. Their dresses are clean and well-organized.

I am a bride that works a night shift and has days off during the week along with my fiancé. Getting time off requires going through the ranks, and it can be a challenge. Needless to say, wedding planning has been a little difficult since most bridal stores close during the mid afternoon/early evening unless it is the weekend. Ms. Ana and her family were more than patient and accommodating with me. I was never rushed to make a decision, even though my dress was the 4th one I tried on, and went shopping at other stores. I was very grateful to be able to book an appointment on short notice (within the span of a week). I will say that I had to let go of my initial thoughts of what I wanted, and allow myself to be steered towards a dress that fit both my body and personality perfectly- I'm a "little" stubborn and very down to earth. Ms. Ana did this with perfect grace. Our interactions felt so organic, that it was more like I was speaking to a confidant. For brides who are looking for an intimate, relaxed, and focused appointment, look no further. Bridal Showcase is family owned, has a great variety of designer gowns such as Maggie Sottero, and a good selection of veils and hair pieces. There is plenty of natural lighting in the store, comfy seating, and large mirrors. Bridal Showcase is also in close proximity to a Friar Tux, so you can schedule a Groom's or wedding party appointment. They also offer Friar Tux discounts for their brides, at least since I was last there. In other words, I love this store, and I would absolutely recommend brides to make their appointment!

I visited Yanna and her shop on my bridal dress hunt and knew she was the one for me. I am formerly from the fashion design industry and a FIDM grad, I could tell Yanna had the eye, skill, and knowledge it took to make my dream dress come true. She does made-to-measure dresses at a very affordable price. As bride who is 5' 0" on a good day and one who specifically loves lace I knew it would be very hard for me to get a dress in my rough size and alter it to my actual size without ruining the integrity of the design and fit, while keeping the lace continuous. I chose one of her designs in store but wanted a more classic look and wanted pearls in my overall look (it was a blush color and lacked pearls). I was able to get it in a classic white, and she recommended a layer of nude fabric to soften the bright white. We added a string of 3 pearls to the back of the dress similar to another design she had. She took all my measurements once and my order was in. IT CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL AND FIT PERFECTLY! It took only 3 months for my dress to be ready! The amount of compliments and everyone thinking I paid well over $3k for my dress were astounding. If you are looking for your dream dress, I highly recommend Yanna and Full Moon Bridal. She may be based in La Jolla but her prices are very reasonable.

I bought my reception dress at Archive and my gosh am I still obsessed with it! Not only is the store super cute, but so are their dresses! They have so many styles to choose from and the staff are well trained at finding the pieces that would best fit your style and body. During the visit, we got to sip on champagne and enjoy the process. For the dress I chose, I got to order it exactly to my size and measurements rather than a basic size that would then need to be altered. This made my fitting super quick as it already fit perfectly. The dress really sparkled and shined throughout the night and was super fun to wear! It made for the perfect outfit change & was still affordable. I couldn’t have found a more perfect dress for the night!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Zeglio Custom Clothiers for my wedding tuxedo, and I must say that the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked into their showroom, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and their commitment to making my vision come to life. One of the standout aspects of my experience with Zeglio was their excellent design guidance. I had a very specific and unique style in mind for my wedding tuxedo, and the team at Zeglio was able to translate my ideas into a stunning reality. They listened attentively to my preferences, took the time to understand my vision, and provided valuable suggestions and recommendations to enhance the design. Their expertise and knowledge in the field were evident, and I felt confident that they understood exactly what I wanted. The fabrication process was another area where Zeglio truly excelled. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating my custom tuxedo were second to none. The fabric choices were extensive, and I was able to select the perfect material that matched my style and preferences. The tailoring was impeccable, and the fit of the tuxedo was absolutely flawless. Zeglio's skilled artisans took great care in ensuring that every stitch and seam was perfect, resulting in a tuxedo that was not only comfortable but also exuded elegance and sophistication. Throughout the entire process, the staff at Zeglio Custom Clothiers was professional, courteous, and accommodating. They were prompt with their communication, and any inquiries or concerns I had were addressed promptly. Their attention to customer satisfaction was commendable, and it made the experience all the more enjoyable. In the end, Zeglio Custom Clothiers helped make my wedding day truly memorable. The tuxedo they created for me was a work of art, perfectly reflecting my unique style and personality. The compliments I received were overwhelming, and I couldn't have been happier with the final result. If you're looking for a custom clothier that offers excellent design guidance, impeccable fabrication, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Zeglio Custom Clothiers. They will work tirelessly to bring your vision to life and ensure that you look and feel your absolute best on your special day.

I bought my beautiful wedding dress at White Flower and my entire experience was perfection. Hannah was my stylist for my wedding dress and her warm and sweet personality helped me find the dress of my dreams. Mary is an alterations queen and basically re-did the entire bottom of my dress. She worked so hard to make sure my dress was exactly how I envisioned it, and it truly turned out perfect. The bussle that Mary did for my dress was so beautiful and natural looking. Unfortunately, my bussle completely ripped by the last few hours of the night---it could not withstand all four hours of dancing. Regardless, I am still so happy with all of the work Mary did on my dress. She is so sweet and warm, it was like having my mom with me during all of the appointments when my mom could not be there. Could not recommend White Flower more!

The absolute best wedding gown shop!! I got my wedding dress from here and couldn’t be more obsessed! The trying on process was super fun and they allow you to look around and find options that intrigue you, plus they bring options that they think will be flattering. I didn’t feel rushed or like there was a time limit. You can tell the staff is experienced and truly want you to feel beautiful in the dress you choose. I also got my veil from here, and it really is the best accessory. They also work with a seamstress who does an incredible job with alterations and is there for the final fitting. I am so happy that I discovered this place & bought my wedding gown & veil from them!
