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. -

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. -
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. -

Danielle Sent on 02/18/2016I purchased my wedding dress through Blossoms. My experience was good, although I could definitely tell the person helping me was new and didn't have much experience. Besides that I was in and out pretty quickly! I found a great dress at a great price! ( I am scared to see what the alteration cost will be once it comes in since I feel like they ordered a size too large) overall I would recommend! -

Danielle Sent on 01/03/2015I went back here a second time to try on the dress I was planning to get. My first visit, I wasn't thrilled with anything about it but they had the dress I was looking for so I went back. My visit today was SO much better than the last time. They brought me the dress and helped me with selecting belts and veils to try on. I worked with Jenna and she was great. We went first thing on a Sunday morning and we were the only people there, which was nice. I did end up buying my dress from them. I am a little concerned because they have so many negative reviews with the process of receiving your dress months later so I am keeping my fingers crossed that this goes smoothly for me. In 6 months, when I receive my dress, I will update my review with that information. -

Amy Sent on 10/28/2015Patti is amazing. Joyce was not very professional, often rude, and prejudice against certain brides/customers.
Van and Gila are AMAZING seamstresses. The rest of the staff is also great! -

Samantha Sent on 02/15/2024The store sized me 2 sizes too small, and provided poor quality alterations. I had to buy a completely new dress two months before my wedding.
In November 2022, Stephanie was the associate who sized me for my wedding dress purchase. While I usually wear a size 4, Stephanie had recommended I order a size 0-2 according to my measurements so I took her advice and ordered a size 2. Fast forward to June 2023 when I came in to try on my dress, it was two sizes too small. I could barely get the dress over my hips let alone walk or sit in the dress. After later reviewing the sizing guide - I realized Stephanie had recommended I buy a size 2 based on my smallest bust measurement but my hips were measured to be a size 6.
I was devastated, I returned to the store two days later asking for the manager Katie to be present so we could work out this issue, as I was contemplating taking the dress to another tailor for alterations. After speaking with Katie, she denied that they had measured me incorrectly. Instead, she insinuated that I had gained weight and it was my fault I could not fit the dress. When I returned to the store, the dress had been altered without my consent, by a tailor who never took my measurements, and all of the seams on the front of the dress were altered after I was told they would be left untouched. Even with the alterations I could not sit in the dress without hearing the dress rip. Following this, I asked for a refund. Katie declined and offered to order another dress through Blossoms. I could not trust my money with Blossoms so I took my business elsewhere. Luckily, I was able to find the same dress in a size 6 through a different trusted tailor who provided high-quality alterations that fit perfectly. I went over my wedding budget by the exact cost of the extra wedding dress I was forced to purchase and lost 10 lbs from stress related to the situation.
I would highly recommend AGAINST anyone doing business with this store. Their employees are unhelpful, they size patrons incorrectly, and their manager is rude, unprofessional, and only motivated by making money.
