Wedding Dresses and Gowns in California

excellent work!!! Very nicely done!!

I altered my mom's wedding dress to wear for my wedding, so I was stressed about getting it preserved since the fabric is now over 30 years old! Affordable Preservation has a specific service for older dresses, and the process was simple and stress free! It is now beautifully displayed along with several accessories that were passed down from my mom!

They do an amazing job of finding the perfect dress for you. I got my dress here and am so happy! They listen to everything you say and are very accommodating of budget! Highly recommend!

I got engaged in October 2022 and planned a wedding for September 2023. I was encouraged to find a dress ASAP / by the end of 2022 so that it would arrive on time. I visited The White Dress for the first time on 12/4/22 after visiting one other bridal salon a couple of days prior. I actually thought I had found a dress I loved at the other salon but had already made the appointment for the same weekend at The White Dress and figured I should go... and thank goodness I did!!! The White Dress had a much larger selection in my budget than the previous salon I visited. My stylist took the time to understand what I liked/didn't like and we were able to nail down the vibe I was going for pretty easily. When I tried on the dress I ended up purchasing, I really did just know it was the one. Picked up my dress at The White Dress in June 2023, ~6 months after purchasing. I also purchased my veil from The White Dress. You can book an "accessory appointment" where you can try on the floor model of your dress with different veils which made the process so easy! Again, my stylist took the time to understand what I liked/didn't like and I ended up buying a veil that was part of a trunk show at the time. I had gone back and forth on whether I was going to buy a new veil or not so I didn't book my accessory appointment until August. I purchased a veil the same day as my appointment and it was ready for pickup just a few weeks later.

Melissa at Mon Amie was AMAZING! She helped me find my wedding dress last March, and it was such a special experience. By the time I came to Mon Amie, I already went to another bridal shop and got a good idea of what I liked and didn't like. Melissa did a great job narrowing down my taste and most importantly, asked me how I want to feel in my dress. Melissa brought me into the dressing room and delivered about 4-5 dresses to start, and the first one she chose was actually the dress I ended up choosing for my big day - she literally nailed it! Once I decided I loved the dress, Melissa and Megan (the manager) helped me make a few customizations to the dress order, and also worked their magic to make the dress a little more attainable for my budget. I knew it was meant to be! It took about 5 months for my dress to be made and delivered, and although I felt like it was cutting it a bit close to my wedding day, Melissa reassured me that in all of the years they've been in business, they have not missed a single wedding. They even had a showing appointment where I could come try the dress on before it goes to alterations with my veil, shoes, and jewelry! I thought it was a really nice offering as someone who was very eager to finally have my dress. The seamstresses that work in-house at Mon Amie were so amazing and did incredible work to make my dress fit like a glove. The one note however that I have, is that almost all of my bustle buttons unfortunately popped off by the end of my wedding night, but that could also be user error (my train wasn't exactly super light and I had lots of fun dancing). Regardless, I felt gorgeous in my dress and it felt like a perfect fit. Overall, I totally understand why so many people trust Mon Amie and I'm so happy I decided to make an appointment. Huge thank you to Melissa for helping me find the wedding dress of my dreams!

Nothing is more important than a bride feeling incredible on her wedding day. Her dress sets the tone not only for the style of the ceremony and reception, but—most importantly—for how she feels in that once-in-a-lifetime moment. My daughter tried on countless gowns searching for “the one.” When she finally found her diamond in the rough, it needed a few tweaks to make it perfect. That’s when Lupita De La Mora at Margaret's Cleaners & Alterations - Convoy St came to the rescue. Lupita was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and truly an exceptional seamstress. She immediately took control of our concerns, making us feel confident and completely at ease with her abilities. She handled every adjustment with precision and completed everything in a timely manner. The final result? The dress fit like a glove. My daughter and I could not have been more impressed with Lupita’s skill and professionalism. We highly recommend her services, as well as Margaret’s Alterations, to any bride looking for perfection on her special day.

I shared my vision and budget with Shannon and she immediately brought it to life. Every specification, concern, and idea was answered patiently and enthusiastically. She made the shopping so fun, so organized, and honestly really easy! I could not recommend her enough to future brides 💌

J'aime Bridal was the first shop my wife walked into for her wedding dress, and the only one she needed. She expected to go to multiple shops for a very particular style, but the three associates she worked over multiple visits nudged her into trying multiple styles and cuts, and she ended up picking one she wouldn't have otherwise tried and absolutely loved. The shop's recommended tailor (Tamara) also did a fantastic job.

Came in not knowing what to expect as this was my first experience trying on wedding dresses. Jayme was my consultant and she was AMAZING. She was super patient, super sweet and ultimately helped me to pick out the dress of my dreams! The whole experience was smooth and all of the staff was beyond friendly which made the experience that much better.

Bridal Elegance elevated my dress shopping experience by being constantly attentive, letting me try on dresses a few times to make an informed decision, and allowing friends and family to participate in different appointments along the way. They have an incredible selection to choose from, I ended up falling in love with the first dress I tried on. It was a simple lace gown with comfortable lining perfect for our wedding in Puerto Rico!
