    Dream come true

    I had a great experience at A Hearts Desire! Had a great experience finding my dress and they kept me up to date with its shipment and arrival. Great prices for beautiful gowns!

    Found my dream dress here

    I found me dream dress here! A Heart's Desire has a large selection of dresses, and everyone we worked with was so helpful. I was able to make an appointment to try dresses, and bring my mother and bridesmaids with me. Definitely try here when dress shopping!

    I got the wedding dress of my dreams here. It was so beautiful, and the girls were so helpful and so nice every time I came in with fittings, questions, etc. Ashley was absolutely AMAZING in helping me find my dress, and helping me with all the issues that came my way with ordering bridesmaid dresses. Ashley and Imelda are wonderful ladies who truly care about their brides. I am so happy I purchased my dress from this store, and I am so sad I will not wear it again (unless we do a vow renewal!). It was my favorite dress I have ever worn - it photographed beautifully, and it was comfortable too! The ladies always made me feel important and special every time I came in to the store.

    My husband also ordered his, and his groomsmen's suits through A Heart's Desires - they bought their suits rather than rented them. They were such a great deal, and such good quality! All the guys were incredibly happy with their purchases, and my husband looked incredibly handsome in his suit the day of our wedding. Plus, all the guys will wear their suits for years to come.

    Hearts Desires was wonderful to work with. I would recommend any bride, and/or groom!, to check out their store.

    I had a wonderful experience at A Heart's Desire! I must admit that I was a bit of a difficult case, as I had a very tight budget of $800. My bridal consultant encouraged me to look through the dresses, pulling the ones that I liked, & then she pulled a few as well. She was patient & kind, but also had a bit of no-nonsense in her that I appreciated. I ended up buying an Allure dress that I'm in LOVE with, & it was priced a few hundred dollars less than at other larger bridal boutiques! The dress came in quickly, & I set up a couple of appointments to try it on (once for my bridesmaids, once for my mom and sister). SO pleased with A Heart's Desire! I highly recommend it!

    I bought my wedding dress from here and ended up losing 20 pounds. The seamstress was a magician and transformed my dress. It fit perfectly and I've never felt more beautiful.

    A Heart's Desires was the first store I went in to search for my bridal gown. Ashley was who helped me and she was great throughout the entire process. I set a realistic budget and Ashley helped me stick to it - thank goodness.

    The day I was there, the store was dressing girls for a photo shoot, and one of my girls saw a dress on one of the models and knew I had to try it on - they took it off the model and brought it on for me to try on. It was the dress I chose! So beautiful, unique, and just my style - not anything overly fluffy or poofy or sparkly or princessy - just elegant and beautiful.

    I had quite a few alterations needed, as I thought the smaller size would fit - it didn't haha. The seamstress was SO kind and helpful and did not make me feel bad at all for barely fitting in the dress - she is a pro and on the day of my wedding, my dress fit PERFECT. I had a few other custom alterations and I was scared to find out the total cost - I was amazed at how affordable it was!! I picked up my dress THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING - she got everything done on a short timeline!!

    I still get compliments on my dress to this day - it still is unique, I have not seen anyone else wearing it or anything like it!

    My husband was in shock at how gorgeous my dress was and still talks about it. Thank you A Heart's Desires Bridal for making me look and feel like a million bucks on my wedding day!

    Love, love love this store. It was my last try to find a dress i loved! Being a Plus Size Bride I was having the worst experience trying on dresses... until i walked into this store. the ladies here are FANTASTIC!! They helped me find that perfect dress, and took in all my needs and wants. They treat you like a Million Dollar Bride not one on a Budget. They made me see the bride inside and find the perfect dress to greet my future husband at the alter. I would recommend this store to Brides of ALL SIZES!!!

    Both Ashley and merelda were so much help in getting my dress and accessories. Ashley even walked me to my car with my dress. Best customer service around always remembered me when I called or went in even made my now husband very happy lol. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great dress at a good price

    I had nightmarish experience with my first bridal salon (in NYC), which resulted in me not having a dress ONE week before my wedding (just in case you are an East Coaster, NEVER use Gabriella Bridal in SoHo!). I turned to A Heart's Desires the Tuesday before my wedding, and they couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating! They helped me try on so many dresses until we finally found the right one. Then they rushed in the nicest seamstress ever to make sure my dress was ready in time. I cannot thank them enough for saving my wedding day! They have a great selection of dresses, and the staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I would DEFINITELY recommend A Heart's Desires to anyone who asked!!

    The Ladies at Hearts Desire were awesome! My consultant remembered me every time I went in, without having to read my file (she even remembered me outside of the store.) They were so nice and wonderful, they made me feel beautiful even though I am not a stick skinny bride. They spend time figuring out what I liked and I didn't feel rushed at all.

    Gorgeous Dress! They were helpful and friendly. We ordered the men's suits from the Paso Robles location and all they groomsmen needed to do was call their measurements in and we could pick up all the suits at once. Very easy!

    I didn’t know where to start when looking for a wedding dress so I wandered into A Heart’s Desires in San Luis. The staff was very helpful and I found a beautiful dress at a great bargain. They did all my alterations and fittings and were super accommodating.

    They fund my perfect dress which was difficult being a size 16. most salons to not cater to bigger girls but they had plenty of dreses to try on. They also helped customize my dress by making it a sweetheart neck, corset, and added a load of crystals and rhinestones. Everyone loved my dress.

    Heart's Desire Bridal in SLO was great to work with. Great selection on the floor and willing to order whatever you need from the catalogs. Always accommodated me, even when I needed to order a second wedding dress and do a fitting on Sunday when they are typically closed. Very responsive staff. Always made themselves available. Reasonable prices and were very helpful for suggestions. They took care of my bridesmaids and tailoring as well. What a great experience!

    I had a great experience choosing my dress and getting my dress altered at A Heart's Desire. We got all of our wedding attire at A Heart's Desire including my dress, bridesmaid's dresses, flower girl dress and tuxedo rentals. I had Emma helping me throughout the whole process. The dress I chose was budget friendly but so beautiful. They were patient with me and allowed me to try on many dresses. I went to the shop in Paso Robles, but they also have a shop in SLO. I am so happy with the service and the product I received from this business. They even mailed out bridesmaid dresses all over the country since not all my bridesmaids lived in California. Thank you so much for all your services. If you go to the Paso Robles shop, ask for Emma! :-) She rocks!

    I got my wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses, groom tux, groomsmen tuxes, mother of the groom dress, father of the groom tux, flower girl dress and ring bearer tux here! I mostly worked with MARIA and she is so wonderful!!! I cannot thank her enough! They were able to help me at both the Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo stores, depending on where was most convenient for me. Maria was always very very nice and always on top of things. The value for what we got was amazing! Also after the wedding I took the dress to them and they sent it off to get preserved as well. This is a one-stop-shop for everything you need with beautiful dresses and great prices.

    It has been three months since my wedding and people are still talking about my dress! Alejandra is the most amazing woman alive, and her shop has a huge selection of classy and elegant wedding gowns. I had no idea I could look that good! Thank you so much for all you and your tailor did for me.
    Sincerely,

    The dress I had looked like in would cost 10,000 but it was under 1000. It was the most beautiful dress I'd ever tried on. The seamstress works wonders with making the dress fit just right. The tuxes ordered from them all fit very well. Sizing for the men was very accurate. We had no problems at all. They treat the bride like royalty. Alejandra is such a sweet and caring person. There's no one better in town!

    I ordered my dress through A Hearts Desires Bridal (now "Bella Novia") and am so happy I did. They special ordered my dress for me from a line they didn't normally carry, and the price was great. They were so nice every time i went in there, and did a great job with the alterations.
