Vanessa Sent on 01/19/2018I live in NC but wanted to look for a wedding gown while I was visiting my mom in CA. Blossoms had tons of dresses to choose from in my price range of $900-$1300. I was helped one-on-one and even given my own private suite for trying on dresses. Staff was really non-judgmental about my choice to have my fiance help me pick out dresses, and when I asked them about suits for my gay bridesmaid. The lady who helped us was super quick about picking dresses I liked, and having veils/belts/earrings/whatever ready in a jiffy. Even better, when I said yes to the dress, they honored my fiance with a military discount, and was able to ship my dress all the way to my doorstep in NC! They never once pressured me out of budget. Now I am buying my bridesmaids dresses there too on discount, and all my bridesmaids have to do is call and give measurements and a card number over the phone, and their dresses will be at their doors in MI and WI too!
This place deserves 6 stars for kindness, adaptability, and bang for its buck. I would recommend anyone for wants to feel special when picking out their dress to visit Blossoms.
PS-My sister got the most glam!!! prom dress here too! Love it! -

Rachel Sent on 01/22/2016I found Blossoms Bridal at a wedding fair. Booking my appointment was easy. I had a certain style I was looking for. Open sheer back. The owner booked the Couture room (a private room in the back). Once I arrived I met Stephanie. She is amazing. If you plan to book a consultant ask for her. I ended up saying "Yes to my Blossom dress" on my 3rd try. I ended up with a Sophia Tolli for $1900 (before tax). If you are on a budget they have other affordable dresses. I was lucky to try book my appointment during a not so busy weekend. I placed my order on Nov 7th, expecting my dress to arrive in May and it arrived in January. Much earlier than I expected. They are storing my dress until May when I go back for alterations.
Make sure you budget for alterations. It can range up to $600. The hem (make it shorter) alone is $225.
The negative part I see with this location is the overbooking. The store is not big and people without appointments can easily walk in and look at dresses. It can get a little crowded and overwhelming. I think they should have a receptionist to prevent walk ins during busy times. -

User2039667 Sent on 02/14/2015Katie was so patient and helpful with me as I was trying to find a dress, because I had no idea what I wanted and I was super picky. The most important thing to know if you are petite and looking for a wedding dress is that Katie knows how to pin the bigger sizes so that you actually have an idea of what it will look like when you order it in the right size!!! This is apparently a rare talent, as I went to more than one place to search for my dress. They have a larger selection and broader range of sizes than most other boutique-type stores, and they offer discounts to your bridal party if you buy your dress with them. My bridesmaids, my fiance, the groomsmen, the fathers, and the grandfathers are all getting their outfits here. They also do amazing alteration work, and it's fun to browse the party/prom dresses in the back of the store. I also noticed they have Indian-style wedding dresses, if that is what you're looking for. -

Lorena Sent on 04/08/2010I bought my dress here, it was beautiful dress however the detachable sleeves didn't arrive in time for my wedding day. I wore it strapless.
They were very kind and tried to send the sleeves, however the didn't solve the problem in time. -

Michelle Sent on 10/30/2013Would definitely recommend Blossoms! The store is VERY crowded right now because they lost their prom store to renovations so now all dresses are under 1 roof. My stylist pulled a dress that I had never seen, based on what I had told her I liked and pictures I brought, and it ended up being THE dress. It turned out beautifully! Alterations are VERY pricey and the gal that does them doesn't speak great English but does GORGEOUS work. -
User2283800 Sent on 08/24/2015The owner of this store is absolutely incredible. After the girl attending to me brought out dresses that were not at all my style, the owner came to check on me and asked me about the dress I had on: what I liked and didn't like about it. Exactly what I needed to be asked! She came back with an array of dresses that were much more "me" and the very last dress I tried on was the owner's pick for me to try on. That very dress was the dress that I wore on my wedding day! She had it rushed for me to have in time at no extra cost and found my mom her dress as well! Katie is amazing and the store is full of so many options. I would absolutely recommend this store to any bride-to-be! -
Melanie Sent on 03/13/2018My experience with Blossoms was very pleasant. A long time ago, I bought my senior prom dress from them, so my mom suggested returning for my wedding dress. We were assisted by Christine (for disclosure's sake, she is a family friend so there was a connection there before our experience this time). From the moment we walked in, we felt like every employee cared about how I looked and felt. Christine listened to me explain all that I wanted from my dress, from specific details (sleeves, deep neckline, lace) to abstract thoughts (a woodland princess that fell into a bed of white flowers and rolled around until her dress transformed into a magical gown). She instantly knew exactly what I wanted, and brought out THE dress that I ended up saying yes to at a later date (with more witnesses for the big moment). When we asked if she had recommendations for jewelry, veil, shoes, and other details, she brought out specific products, without feeling like she was going for an "upsell". It was a genuine suggestion, and we ended up going with her recommendations, with zero regrets.
The .7 stars lost on our rating was one hiccup we had during the alteration process, which had nothing to do with the sales staff or management, and entirely to do with the seamstress and her poor scheduling skills. We had an appointment for our final fitting (it had already been altered, and it was time for the pickup appointment) and a week before the appointment, we were informed that the seamstress was going to be on vacation. We couldn't reschedule, because I was traveling from out of town and couldn't arrive earlier or leave later, so we ended up just picking up the dress without having the seamstress look at it one last time. That being said...it needed zero extra alterations so she probably didn't need to be there anyway! But the added stress of that call was very frustrating.
Overall, I recommend that EVERY bride in the Bay Area try Blossoms. -
