Supportive, helpful and friendly
I came here for my first location to look for my wedding dress and the second dress I tried on was THE one. Every staff member was so kind and the entire experience was better than I could've imagined. I walked into my appointment a little nervous but as soon as my family and I walked in we were greeted warmly and supported through every step of the process. If you're unsure of where to find your dream dress plus a dream experience, Brides for a Cause is definitely the place to go! Plus by getting your dress you're helping local charities around you, sounds like a win to me. -

Excellent Service
The ladies who work there were so sweet, welcoming and helpful! I was running late due to a car accident and they were very understanding! The dress selection was great, by the time I left, I said yes to the dress! I drove 2.5 hrs for my appointment there, it was worth the drive -

Plus Size Bride Experience
I Said Yes to The Dress !!! I absolutely loved it here! The ladies that were working were all so kind and helpful . not only were they helping me out a lot with advice or information on the dresses but also helping out other brides as well. as a young plus woman getting married I was nervous that I 1 wouldn't find anything in my size or style and 2 find a dress in my price range. I can say I was definitely wrong ... there was plenty of beautiful dresses in my size and all very affordable. Thank you to the Ladies that helped me -

Great shop for a low budget
Overall a 10/10 experience. I emailed the shop beforehand and asked if they had anything similar to what I envisioned. Elaine replied so quickly. Shortly after, I booked an appointment. In the shop, I loved being able to move at my own pace. The dress I ended up buying was originally $400 but I got it 50% off. Amazing deal! They also gave me a list of alteration and dry cleaning places that they recommended. Amazing staff! -

Accessory Haul!
I went to find accessories and a cover/top for my dress and left with not only the top, but amazing shoes and accessories. They were super helpful and even though I didn’t go for a dress, I still poked around and they had a good selection for anyone looking for a dress at a good price. -

Brides for a Cause is great
I had a great experience dress shopping. The staff was friendly, kind, and made it an easy process. I liked having the ability to make my own choices, look at all of the dresses, and purchased a dress for $200! It was fun to be in a dressing room with others. -

Impressive dress selection at affordable prices
I booked an appointment at Brides for a Cause uncertain if I was even going to buy a dress for my wedding. But Brides for a Cause made it easy for my to say "Yes to the Dress". They have a wonderful selection of dresses and the the prices are incredible. I got my sample dress for about a quarter of the original price. I also was able to get a very affordable cathedral veil. The staff were super helpful and very able to help you find dresses that you may I have missed while you grabbed your initial dresses.
The dressing area has 6 individual rooms surrounding a large central area. When I was there there were two to three others trying on dresses at the same time. I personally loved this as it is fun to see and support other people's dress making choices.
The sessions are typically booked for 1 hour, but Brides for a Cause let me stay past my time to make a decision on which dress I wanted to buy, which I really appreciated. I would say, if you could book two back to back sessions that might be helpful if you are planning on picking and buying a dress.
They also helpfully provided a list of people to reach out for alterations for the dress, and I did end up choosing someone from the list.
One thing I will say is I am white and I bought a size 12 wedding dress. They had a large range of size selection with the most amount of dresses in sizes 8-14. I think a lot of the dresses with mesh components seemed likely to work better with lighter skin.
I overall had an incredible time at Bride for a Cause and cannot recommend them enough. -

While I found my wedding dress at a different stores, I was able to find a beautiful veil for my May 2025 wedding. Friendly staff and broad selection of dresses and accessories. Thanks Brides for a Cause! -

Amazing staff, dresses and experience!!
I highly recommend brides to be to check out this store!!! I had a beautiful experience at Brides for Cause in Sac. I had my appointment this past weekend and we were all greeted with smiles and they thoroughly explained the process and wasted no time letting us dress shop! Abigail and Jessica were absolutely wonderful! I originally went in for a "reception" dress and ended up falling in-love with another wedding dress, as soon as I put it on, i knew it was for me, Abigail expressed how perfect it looked on me However because I already had a wedding dress, I was still indecisive about purchasing another one, I was very conflicted as I really loved this new one. Abigail told me to take a moment, go grab some coffee and she can hold the dress until the end of the day to give me time to think. I really appreciated that! I left for the day and could not stop thinking about the dress all night. I went back to the store the next morning and as soon as I walked in the first thing Abigail said was "welcome back Emmalynn" with a huge smile! I asked to try on the dress again. Jessica helped me put it on and I asked her to take a photo. When I tell you she took the best photos!! Every angle, down low, up high, front back, sides, she gave me a full on photo shoot in 2 minutes and I knew coming back was the best decision because I needed to leave with that dress! Abigail then helped me check out and we spoke about how great it is that 90% of the proceeds goes to charities that help and empower women as I work for a non profit myself that helps DV victims/survivors and empower women. I found my beautiful dream dress for a really good price and knowing that the sale is also for a good cause, it doesn't get any better than that?!! -

Found my dress!
I had a great experience here and got my dress! The employees were great and they made it easy for me! I loved getting to scan the racks myself and go at my own pace. I found my dress here and this was the first and only store I had to shop at! Best of all, 90% of your purchase goes to charity! -

Absolutely perfect!
Brides for a cause was such an amazing experience! I was looking for places to shop for my wedding dress and came across them via google search. I read their story and what they do and knew I wanted to go there and shop for my dress. As soon as I walked in, everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly! I picked out some dresses to try on and ended up finding my dream dress in under an hour! It was originally marked at $3,500 and I got the dress and cathedral veil for $1,100. They were the first place I looked as a first time, newly engaged bride. It was a perfect place to dress shop and I can’t recommend them more! -

Loved my dress
My mom and I stopped at Brides for a Cause just to take a look at the dresses and walked out with my dream wedding dress for a fraction of the cost! I did end up getting my dress tailored to perfectly fit my body, but it still ended up being cheaper than purchasing the dress new. I definitely recommend checking out Brides for a Cause as your first wedding dress shop because you will probably find your dream dress! -

Said yes to my dress here!
Best wedding dress shopping experience ever! I went in on an afternoon in the middle of last week and there were no appointments after me. I had the whole store to myself and the assistant manager was so helpful! She let me try on as many dresses as I wanted and helped me search for dresses. She ended up finding me the dress that I said yes to! She helped me zip up the dresses and also took videos and photos of me in the dresses in order to help me decide. This was the least stressful experience I’ve had and is unlike any other bridal dress shopping experience I’ve had thus far. I found my dream dress at a literal fraction of the cost and I could not be happier to donate to such a good cause. I ended up walking out with my dream dress, veil, sparkly belt, and shoes all in one day. I’m still over the moon and cannot stop taking about it. Thank you Brides for a cause! -

Thursday Success
Received clear instructions about who would be allowed in and with what. It was not too crowded for being able to pull dresses and there was a lot of selection. If you have body issues it is a little stressful sharing the wall sized mirror with the other brides. Found the perfect dress for 450.00 - a sample that retailed for 2k. There are some nice accessories and a better than expected selection of veils. -

Beautiful and Affordable!
I love this shop SO much! More of a self-directed experience, but staff were available to help take dresses to the fitting room. Most of all, the dress I got was way more affordable than any of the ones I looked at elsewhere. I absolutely recommend them to any brides looking for a beautiful, but budget-friendly wedding dress!! -

Great selection and prices!
Loved my experience getting my dress at Brides for a Cause! There was so much more inventory than I was expecting, even in smaller sizes, and everything was clean and beautiful inside. Andrea was so helpful in explaining the process, and she let my sister and I do our own thing, giving us thoughtful suggestions when useful. You can’t beat the prices, and I would recommend any bride take a look! -

Great Experience!
Andrea was incredibly helpful! They have a great selection of 0, 2, 4s, with accessories to match. Super clean and roomy area to try everything on. The full hour was enough time to try on 5 dresses, narrow down to a few and pick the final one for your big day. You can pick them out yourself, low pressure sales, and relaxed environment. Pricing was fantastic, my dress was $350, veil $70, and belt $30. Come check them out! -

Parents of the bride
Our daughter is getting married in December, and has been searching for her wedding dress. She has visited multiple boutiques and stores, throughout the San Diego area. The dresses were lovely, however the price tags often made them obsolete. Our daughter loves beautiful thing's, and we truly wanted her to have whatever dress she chose, and felt the most beautiful in. However, money is always a factor, and it made us feel that we might not be able to afford her dream dress.
Then she discovered, Brides for a Cause. Everything changed, she was able to pick an EXQUISITE gown, and we could comfortably purchase it for her. It filled our hearts with joy, to be able to fulfill this dream for her. Beyond our own personal joy, we also felt so good about supporting a nonprofit, which assists women experiencing multiple difficulties.
We are beyond grateful for this amazing organization, and everyone was beyond accommodating, helpful, and seemed to really care about my daughter and her dreams.
Thank-you Brides for a Cause, you made the first step of our daughter’s wedding experience, a huge success!!

Designer Dress at a Sustainable price
I love everything about Brides for a Cause! As a bride, I feel like the whole wedding industry is very unsustainable and somewhat takes advantage of brides and their families. So when I found BFAC, I felt so relief that I could support an awesome cause & make a more sustainable choice while planning my wedding!
My wedding is 10 months out so I decided to start my dress hunt at Brides for a Cause. I figured if I didn't find something on my first trip, I could come again next month to check the inventory again. I had a specific idea of what type of dress I wanted. I was told I could try on 15 dresses. The shop has lots of natural light and the dressing rooms are bright and comfortable. I only found six dresses that were in the style/size that I needed/wanted. One of those six ended up being perfect for me! I put the dress on hold for 24hrs to think about it and research if that was what I wanted. It was donated by a high-end, small & sustainable designer, Laudae from BC, Canada as a sample. My Mom and I were shocked that the dress at BFAC was 70% of the normal retail price! The staff at BFAC gave me a list of recommended tailors/dry cleaners that could help clean & do any alterations. I called and made an appt with one today- she seemed happy to have a good relationship with BFAC!
Granted I am a low-key, millennial bride, but Brides for a Cause exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend giving their inventory a chance! -

Awesome place to get your wedding dress!!!
I had a great experience at Brides for a Cause - San Diego! Andrea in particular was fantastic at helping select and style dresses for me to try. This store was incredibly attentive, flexible, and was not crowded during my appointment. I had tons of space to try on dresses and for my guests to sit (one of them had a sprained ankle and the team was so accommodating). Despite this store having opened recently, they have a large selection of great quality dresses, all reasonably priced and going to great causes. I highly recommend this place! -

I had such an amazing experience as a trans and queer person shopping for a wedding dress. I was offered lots of support and the prices were all reasonable. Wish I could shop there again, but I already bought my dress from them! -

Great store
I visited Brides for a Cause in Tacoma, WA. The volunteer staff was helpful and welcoming. The dresses are all donated and in great shape. There is a huge selection for many sizes, but as a larger bride the selection was limited- again they are donation based. Great prices, if you find a dress you love! -

Recommend to anyone!
My daughter had an amazing experience! The shop is beautiful and doesn't feel like a "thrift" or 2nd hand shop at all. Everything is clean and well organized and the area to try on dresses is bright and beautiful. She found the perfect dress and we saved SO much money. Weddings are expensive and this just freed up the budget for some other things we didn't think we could afford! :)
Sizes below 8 and above 14 have a smaller selection to choose from only because they can only sell what is donated. But, we found hers outside the "most popular" range and the thing about buying a dress off the rack is that the alterations can be minimal. This saves you a ton as well! In our case, the dress only needs minor alterations to the corset back. The length is perfect and it is already bustled. A 10/10 experience all the way around! -

I said YES to the dress!!!
I was amazed at the selection, quality and variety of styles Brides for a Cause had to choose from. It was honestly hard to narrow down all the beautiful dresses I tried on. I'm a size 0/2 and was a little worried there wouldn't be many options in my size, but I was very wrong. The staff were so kind and were able to answer my questions regarding alterations and what would and wouldn't be possible. I would highly recommend checking them out! Prices were great, selection was amazing and it felt good to have my money go towards such a great cause. -

Amazing experience at this shop!
This organization is such a phenomenal way to make finding a wedding dress really meaningful. I started looking in boutiques around Los Angeles, where I live, and became quickly fed up with the pretentious vibe. If you are looking for a classy yet friendly bridal shop then Brides for a Cause is a great place for you. The prices are very budget friendly and the quality is top-notch. I saw so many designer gowns that I had seen in previous shops but these were a fraction of the price. It was well organized so going through the racks was a breeze. Many of the gowns were unaltered so the length was still perfect for my tall frame. The staff were kind and encouraging but in no way pushy. You can tell they truly have dedicated their time and expertise to making the shop a great success. They are dedicated to the cause and super friendly. I would recommend any bride to go browse their racks before going to the high end stores. And if you are looking for a great way to give back, you can donate your dress to the shop after your event. -

Really enjoyed our trip here. It was the first and only bridal shop I needed to visit- my dress ended up being the second one I tried. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the variety of styles was excellent! -

Amazing! So much inventory!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this store!!!not only are the dresses gorgeous, they are affordable and everything goes to such great causes. I bought my first dress about 4 months before my wedding. Lost way too much weight and had to find a new one 2 weeks before our day. I went 3 times trying to find my dress. I went by my self on one occasion, the staff was so accommodating…even when I had a bit of a panic attack. They brought me water, let me site, talked to me. I came back again the following week and found the most perfect dress. They never made me feel silly for constantly coming back, even trying the same dress on over and over. You must come visit this store!!! -

I found my dream wedding gown at Brides for a Cause!
The selection at Brides for a Cause was incredible--from less expensive labels to couture gowns--and there were so many styles and sizes. The staff was wonderful, attentive, and really made my experience special by offering great feedback and helping me shop accessories. My experience was excellent and I couldn't recommend this location more highly for future brides! -

Best Bridal Shop with Reasonable Prices + Inclusive Sizes
Ever since I heard about Brides for a Cause from a friend, I've been raving about them to all of my friends looking for wedding dresses, formal dresses (ranging from short, midi, to long), bridal separates (tops, skirts, pants), and accessories (veils, jewelry, hair pieces, shoes, etc.).
Not only are we contributing to amazing causes, but also giving clothes a new life. Everything's so reasonable compared to going to retail stores and buying everything new.
Scheduling is super easy where you can make appointments online. They were even willing to meet virtually to go over the items they had since Sacramento is a far drive from San Francisco.
One of my favorite parts about their stores is how inclusive and organized their sizings are. I struggled to find my size 14 in bridal shops, but their store makes it so easy to find what you need. Highly recommend their store to anyone and everyone! -

Amazing place!
Brides for a Cause is amazing! The store is beautiful and such a fun experience to be able to shop the racks directly. Everyone was so kind and helpful. If that wasn’t enough, the dresses are affordable and help support wonderful charities. I found a huge selection of all sizes and styles. Highly recommend! -

Brides, shop here!
I had the BEST experience shopping at Brides for a Cause! My brother’s fiancée got her dress there and highly recommended it to me, and I’m so glad she did! I went with my gals December 2022 during their end of the year sale. The shop is clean, well organized, and shockingly calm in energy. They were super sweet and accommodating even though traffic made me late for my appointment. I tried on around half a dozen dresses, and an EXTREMELY friendly and helpful worker caught my vibe and pulled the dress I ultimately ended up picking!! She said it had just come in and they hadn’t put it on the floor yet. I was super impressed by her and her knowledge of the inventory. They also had my dream veil from Tailored Tulle, and that’s when I got emotional. Everything about the day was perfect and I am so so so grateful!! I recommend Brides for a Cause to EVERY person I meet, and now TWO of my friends have found their dream dresses in the last month alone. Go go go! You won’t regret it!-

An Amazing Gem for the Conscientious Bride
I'm due to be married in January, and my entire family is excited for my nuptials! Suffice it to say, I had a decent entourage of about 5 plus myself. I booked on an off-day (Monday) and Brides for a Cause was kind enough to allow everyone in.
The selection was wonderful, even for a plus size bride like me (I'm a 16 off-rack). There was a wide variety of styles and the prices were excellent. Think of this as boutique consignment shopping.
These are mostly designer and high end dress samples from previous seasons, so although they're in style, i did see make up stains, small rips, and the like. Nothing a good seamstress and cleaning cant take care of, but just be aware. -

Went to Brides for a Cause after my cousin found her wedding dress there, went in thinking I wanted a pink dress but came out with a gorgeous sparkly ball gown that is basically Cinderella. My consultant was my fairy godmother for sure! -

Stop Shopping and go to Brides for a Cause
The most stress free delightful wedding dress experience. I got the dress of my dreams for $1200, when it was originally $3k+. The associates are the warmest, most down to earth wonderful people who get out of your way so that you can find the dress YOU want and celebrate the wins with you. I made an appointment two days before and my future mother in law and I walked in and 40 minutes later walked out with the perfect dress, raving about Brides for a Cause. I tried on a bunch of dresses in a low pressure environment with other brides around who were excited and real and supportive. -

Amazing dresses, price, and cause
Brides for a cause was a fantastic experience. It was cheaper than the other bridal salon we went to, better selection and dresses, and supported fantastic causes. The staff were friendly, helpful, and kind. I was able to get a gorgeous $2000 wedding dress for $500 that had never been worn by a bride before. I tried on 15 dresses, brought my friends and family, and had a wonderful time trying on dresses with other brides nearby. Absolutely fantastic experience! -

Amazing gowns, affordable prices!!
Brides for a Cause is so wonderful! I bought an amazing Eve of Milady at about 80% off, then went back when we decided I needed a different color dress and got 2 more gorgeous dresses with wonderful beadwork at crazy prices! You don't want to miss out! -

Amazing, please go here!
This place is amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I loved that I got to look through the dress selection myself and didn’t have to tell a sales person I didn’t like a dress they pulled for me (I’m very picky). The staff let’s you do your thing and assists when asked. I found my dress here, a couture dress that originally cost $6,200 and I got it for $1,200. The best part is that the proceeds go to helping women. I couldn’t ask for anything better! -

Amazing selection, affordable prices, and friendly/helpful service!
I had a great experience at Brides for a Cause! The selection was way bigger/better than I was expecting. The staff was friendly and helpful, they will help as much as you want/need, but let you do your own thing if you prefer. The process of booking an appointment time slot was easy and I got email reminders about my time I booked. At the end of my hour time slot I appreciated that they didn’t just kick me out, they allowed me to finish and said no rush, I ended up being there closer to an hour and a half. A lot of the dresses I tried on were around $300 so great prices! I would definitely recommend Brides for a Cause to anyone else in need of a wedding dress! -

Easy and amazing!
Booked my appointment same day and came in. Staff was so helpful and reassuring. When I wanted to put two dresses on hold for family to see the next day, they were so flexible in making sure that could happen. Found "the one" the next day with my family and was able to put it on hold to sleep on it. Felt great to know I could decide and come get it the next day. Absolutely would recommend this to anyone who's looking for great quality second hand gowns at an affordable price. The selection of styles is very impressive! :) -

Amazing dress shopping
My dress shopping experience was so wonderful. They were hands on when needed but let us do our own thing, which I loved! The prices were incredible! Some dresses had minor flaws but nothing some simple hemming couldn’t fix and with the prices, I could never complain. Found my dream dress (with pockets) right away 🤩 -

Eco friendly high end dresses for less
I had an amazing experience here and found the perfect dress for our beach elopement! Many of the dresses are unique, high end brands that wouldn't be in my budget normally and are in perfect condition. I feel really good about the reduced environmental impact and the charitable mission too! I fell in love with the first dress I tried. I decided to try the others I initially picked out just for fun and ended up loving them all and having to make a really tough choice. The staff were all very sweet and helpful. They don't pick out styles for you, but they are available to help zip you up, add clips for fit, and give advice if desired. Not pushy at all and were very knowledgable about dress styles, alterations, etc. It was so refreshing! They can provide you with a list of trusted tailors and cleaners as well. I had such a positive experience here and can't recommend them enough! -

Yay for this place
This was an excellent wedding dress shopping experience. They have hundreds of dresses, many different styles, great prices. The ladies working there are available but not hovering, perfect balance. I am beyond happy with the dress I found, and I love that they give to good causes. Plus buying used is more eco friendly. They are by appointment only, so book ahead on their website. Highly recommend. -

AMAZING, definitely start your dress search here!
My dress is nothing like what I thought I wanted but when I tried it on it felt great and the pockets sealed the deal!
More importantly, I could not have loved Brides for a Cause more. They had a ton of choices and so many really different styles at a fraction of the retail cost.. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone who is looking for a wedding dress x100! Their staff was so SO helpful and friendly and this big bonus is that all purchases support women-focused charities. -

Ecofriendly, affordable, and so supportive!
I bought my first wedding dress at BFAC Seattle in February 2020, I then had to postpone my wedding by a year and by 2021, I realized my first dress wasn't going to work (it just didn't fit the vibe anymore - even though I loved it!). I went to BFAC 6 weeks before my 9/21 wedding and found a sample Hailey Paige dress for less than $600, valued at well over $5000 retail. Both times at BFAC I worked with awesome staff members and everyone there is so supportive, I got tons of complements on dresses from other brides, moms, sisters, etc.. which made dress shopping even more fun. My first dress was gray toned and my second was blue and blush toned (we called it the "mermaid dress" haha), so if straight white dresses aren't your vibe - they still have a selection for you!
There are communal mirrors/dressing rooms and definitely bring a good friend to help you get in and out of dresses, but the staff are super knowledgeable and the dress selection is really large!
I also purchased a wedding cape from the Portland store (off of their instagram/via phone) and had a great experience with them - they were super kind and supportive.
My one word of advice is that I did go to a traditional wedding dress store first and that really helped me understand what I liked about certain dresses, the right language to use, and helped to narrow in my vision, but if you're someone who wears dresses regularly you could probably skip this step. Also be open to going a few different times or to a few different locations to find the dress you want in your size, and keep an open mind!
Finally, I LOVE that I didn't have a dress custom for me that I was never going to wear again. After my wedding, I returned both dresses to BFAC and felt way better about the ecological impact of that, not to mention supporting women's charities in the process. 10/10. -

Great Variety and Budget Friendly
10/10 Absolutely AMAZING! Great selection of dresses and advice on alterations. Shop was very clean, including the bathroom, and had good mirrors to view the dresses. The staff politely enforced the mask policy which was a great relief for me and my family. The prices were very affordable and I loved being able to try on dresses in MY size and not worrying about how it would look if I ordered it in a different size. I recommend bringing someone with you to help with clamping you into dresses if needed. -

Love Brides for a Cause!
I've always thought the idea of a dress that you only wear once seems so ridiculously wasteful and expensive. I was thrilled to learn about Brides for a Cause and how they support charities while decreasing waste in the wedding industry! I plan to wear my purchased dress and return it for a third life! ❤ (pictured are some of the dresses that I didn't select)-

Brides for a Cause Sacramento
The new store in Sacramento is right in mid-town next to some awesome brunch/lunch spots with free street parking on the weekend! The boutique is smaller with about six dressing rooms (4 in use for social distancing) and have a concentrated selection of dresses from size 2-18. Bridal sizing is even worse than street sizing, so don't be afraid to go up a few sizes since many of the dresses are samples or donated dresses with alterations. I ended up getting a size 14 Paloma Blanca sample that fit nearly perfect on me (I'm a street size 8-10). The ladies were wonderful assisting me both times. First with my sister and mom, and next alone while my fiance sat on the bench by the door hiding me from view with headphones in so he doesn't spoil the selection process for himself. (He's a good sport). I found my dress after coming in to try on a dress I had on hold and I felt super supported and encouraged to make a decision that was right for me and not what my family might have influenced. Best part was that my dress ended up being nearly 82% off the sample sale price!! So check out their locations especially if you are a bargain hunter, proceeds also benefit various women's charities and the have accessories, veils, bridesmaids and mother of the bride occasion dresses too! -

Affordable and beautiful!
I'm all for a more affordable bridal shop in Sacramento. And one that does good? I love it! Booking was easy and the process was fun. You're allowed to try on 15 dresses total during your visit, and the time goes fast! Bring a friend if you can.
During the experience, I realized that it was so fun because I was actually able to try on dresses my size. For reference, I'm 4'10 and 105 pounds (size 2-4 dress). At other bridal shops, I was trying on size 10+ dresses, having them clipped onto me, and having to use my imagination. It was SO NICE to be able to try on a dress that I'd actually be able to go home with! The customer service was excellent. I had trouble deciding between 2 styles and they put it on hold for 24 hours. Thank you for the awesome selection and great experience! :)
FYI, the majority of their dresses are samples donations from other bridal stores! For a highly discounted price, you can get your hands on a new designer wedding gown! -

Absolutely amazing!
I went to BFAC as part of the Brides Across America program to buy my dress. It was an amazing experience! I tried on about 12 dresses and as soon as I put on dress #12 I knew it was the one! The staff was so helpful and kind and they were always right there ready to take dresses back to the fitting room to go try on. They were extremely encouraging and gave compliments on every dress truly making you feel super important and cared for! Overall, the experience was absolutely amazing and I would recommend to anybody looking to find that perfect dress! -

Virtual Dress Dash Experience
I bought my dress virtually from Brides for a Cause, so I can’t review the physical store experience. I bought my dress from their virtual dress dash January 2021. The dress list was released a few days prior to I was able to look up what each of the dresses looked like, they had the measurements according to the designer listed as well. On Facebook live, they went through each dress which was assigned a number. You commented sold # __ and the first comment got the free. It was an overall really good experience and there weren’t any issues during the virtual sale. My dress was shipped to me for $30 and arrived about a week later. It was placed in a garment bag and carefully placed into a box. It was a bit of a gamble buying a dress online but for such a low price point I was willing to risk it. Upon reviewing my dress all the anxiety of disliking it in person went away! I would definitely recommend participating in any of their virtual sales!-

Amazing Service
After my BHLDN gown was cancelled I called across the country looking for this dress off the rack. Along the way a salon told me to get in contact with Brides for a Cause. They didn’t have the dress in April when I called but they emailed me in August saying that for one in and could mail it to me! Amazing service and it feels good knowing they donate to women’s causes ❤️ -

Amazing dress selections
I am getting married n a month and got engaged one month prior. A good friend of mine told me about Brides for a Cause (in fact raved about them). I hadn’t heard about them and was of course in need of a dress, so checked them out. So glad I did!! The dresses were beautiful and the gals working there were awesome!! I found my dress from BHLDN there and can’t wait to wear it. Also, who doesn’t love designer dresses at a discount?!!
Whatever your budget, you’ll be able to find something. Brides for a Cause gets new dresses in weekly. Best of luck to all you brides out there!! -

Amazing Experience
This place is the best!! I can’t say enough good things. Even during covid they made the experience super fun. The selection was great (even for plus sizes), the prices were spectacular, and the staff was incredible! I said yes to the dress there and I couldn’t be happier! -

Free Dress!
My dress was FREE! I attended a Brides Across America event hosted by Seattle Brides for a Cause boutique. With proof of my current EMT license and proof of active working status I picked my dress out and paid $0. I only paid for alterations at a local vendor, and it was truly my dream dress. I appreciate Brides for a Cause boutique, who donates their profits to charity, and Brides across America who donates wedding gowns to women in public service all over the US. At the event all the women where supportive of each other and found a community in the store. The stylists made it a fun experience for everyone and actually picked this dress for me after it didn't stand out on the rack! I'm incredibly grateful I received this gift and I hope more brides find out about it in time to receive as well. -

Great company great selection!
I shopped at dress for a cause back in 2018 and I loved their selection and what they represented as a company. I hope that other brides will give this place an opportunity to blow them away with their selection and customer service. I also loved knowing that this large purchase in my life was doing something for someone other than myself. -

Stress-free dress shopping
I hate shopping, and was dreading the experience of trying on a wedding dress - having a stranger shoehorn me into a dress that didn’t fit me to begin with was an actual nightmare. I was so relieved to find Brides for a Cause, because it totally took away the stress and pressure of the shopping experience. The store had plenty of options, and the staff was so friendly. I found a great dress at a great discount, and I feel good about the fact that my money is going to help charities and not the wedding-industrial complex. This definitely isn’t the place for you if you’re looking for a traditional “bridal experience” but I wasn’t looking for that, so it was perfect. I highly, highly recommend and I’ll be telling my friends who are engaged to be coming here too! -

Found my dream dress!
I found my dream dress at Brides for a Cause! I felt very relaxed while shopping here, and I loved that I was able to look through the dresses and try them on without any assistance! They had a wide variety of dresses in my size. I never felt rushed and had a great time shopping here. My sister and I loved this store, and we plan on coming back when she gets engaged! -

Found my dress & supported a great cause
I loved shopping for my dress here. It was the first place I looked and I ended up buying the second dress I tried on. My dress was 50% off of its retail price and actually had never been worn. The women working were very kind and helpful. While I can’t compare it to any other wedding dress boutique, I do know I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’m so glad I got such a great deal and was able to support a good cause. -

Absolutely perfect
This is a walk in shop, so don't expect to have an appointment time to yourself, and also you may need to share the changing room when you go back out to pull more dresses. So I would recommend going during non peak hours. I went earlier on Saturday and there were only 3 brides including myself, but when I left, the store was very busy.
The value is fantastic, most dresses are around 75% off retail, to make up for purchasing samples off the rack which will require a bit more $ in alterations, but for me, dress + alterations will still be under $600, but I did pick a dress that already fit me really well. Maybe I just got lucky, but I found an absolutely beautiful dress that fit me well, that was on double sale allowing me to move over $1500 from my original dress budget into other categories, making me one happy bride!
I seriously recommend stopping by this shop, no matter what your budget is, because they have really great stuff! -

Perfect dress within my budget
I knew that I did not want a traditional wedding dress experience by spending thousands of dollars, and I am so thankful that I knew about Brides for a Cause. Not only did I get an amazing dress within my tiny budget, but I can rest assured knowing that the money that I spent is going toward charity. It made me feel a lot better about purchasing a dress that I would only wear once - and even better, I can donate it back and it can have another life with someone else! I loved the shopping experience, and it definitely felt special without breaking the bank. I'm so thankful to have this organization in my back yard and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dress at a great deal. -

Wedding dress
Brides for a cause is THE place to search for a wedding dress! I honestly went in just to look for the style I was hoping to find and ended up finding THE dress! I couldn't turn down how well it fit on me, the price and the fact that they donate proceeds to charity! This place is all-around amazing! -

Wonderful, especially for the thrifty Bride
I loved this shop! If going to boutique second hand stores is something you enjoy, then this is a great choice for you.
The service was excellent, the ladies that worked there are knowledgeable and helpful. I usually wear a curvy size 6/8, but I was concerned how "dress sizing" was going to work. The ladies recommended starting with a size 10, 12, and 14 just to see how the fit was. I'm glad I did! We ended up going with a size 12 to fit my bust and hips, and there was plenty of selection to choose from. Brands, prices, and the condition were labeled clearly on the tags, which made knowing what you were getting so much easier.
I was so happy to find my dress here! And it feels even better knowing that the money is going towards a great cause.
Since everything is donated, I would recommend looking for dresses here with plenty of time before your wedding, and checking in frequently as the dresses change constantly. -

Amazing dresses!
Brides for a Cause is awesome! They have a great mission, and if you have a little patience, some really beautiful gowns. I got my designer dress for only $400, and upon looking it up later, it was originally over $5k. You won't get a glass of champagne or someone helping you in and out of your dresses, but it's well worth the trip! -

I had such a wonderful experience here. So many great options and the staff is super helpful, but not pushy like some places. I found my perfect mermaid dress, that was already dry cleaned and had a bustle done. Highly recommend checking it out, especially since all the money is donated to issues that affect women. -

Meant to Be
I just happened past this place when I was visiting my friend in Portland. What a great find!! My least favorite thing about dress shopping was how someone had to grab the dress, and put me in and take me out. Not here! I love not being handled by a consultant! We were able to pick out our own and try them on, on our own. I found one that fit me like a dream and still had the tags on it!! Best part? They were having a sale and the dress ended up only being $150! I came back months later and bought my veil. -

Military Bride
Brides with a Cause were very hands off and allowed us to do the shopping on our own, which I greatly appreciated. The dresses and veils are very inexpensive. They have a small selection, only about thirty dresses per size, but I bought the first dress that I tried on. The had an amazing selection and I was satisfied with every second of my experience. -

Dress inventory was versatile and beautiful; staff was extremely helpful
I just bought my dress from BFAC after spending days shopping at high-end boutiques. Not only was the selection of dresses wide in variety, size, and style, but the staff was so helpful--all I had to do was ask and they took pictures, helped pin to my shape, and gave advice (I went in by myself!). They had a small space to work with with the amount of girls who came in looking for dresses and did their best to get everyone fitting rooms and make them feel comfortable. Prices were reasonable and tags detailed whether dresses had damage or dirt. If I had a reason, I'd shop there again! -

Should have gone here first
This was my third place that I went to, simply because I made my way up from Salem. The staff are helpful and kind, and yet give you freedom to pull your own dresses without feeling pressured or overwhelmed. There were a great selection of varying styles and sizes. Although it was busy (I went on a Saturday) the staff were welcoming, there are enough dressing rooms and seating for the bridal party. They also have veils and such, but I personally didn't take advantage of this option. My dress is perfect in every way and the price was even better! -

Amazing! Highly recommended
Such an awesome experience! They have options for most sizes, defiantly more options for sizes 8 and smaller. Still I got my dress for $200 originally $2000 and it was brand new. It's defiantly worth checking out even for people who don't know if they would find something or not. They even have parking in the back so you're not fighting for spots. Tip- Go to the restroom before you go because they don't have one. Highly recommended though! -

Amazing service in Seattle!
I am so glad that I started (and finished, in one trip!) my dress shopping experience at Brides for a Cause Seattle! It was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for: relaxed, friendly.. I didn't feel pressured in any way, and very quickly found the dress I'd been dreaming of! For the budget and/or eco- friendly bride, this is the place to shop! The prices will keep you smiling, and knowing that you're supporting a nonprofit organization that donates to women-focused charities will add an extra layer of love to your special day! The kind and helpful staff made shopping fun and easy, and they even gave me a list of local shops to check out for my alterations. Though my dress showed a tiny bit of wear on the edges of the train and was two sizes too big, it was completely renewed and fit like a glove after a trip to Zeita Studios! Thank you Brides for a Cause!! I'm sure shopping at the Portland location would be just as wonderful! (More photos to come!) -

Great Experience!!
I have so much love for this non-profit! I live in San Francisco and decided to do a same day trip to visit the boutique. It's definitely not a typical wedding dress store that you see from TV, but I didn't need that experience. If I knew I loved a dress, then I knew. They had a lot of variety in styles and sizes, old and new. I was fortunate enough to find a brand new BHLDN dress with tags on still! The volunteers are super helpful and down to earth. They let you go through the racks but also provide suggestions after learning which styles you like best. They do not follow you in to the fitting rooms, but will help clip you in to get a better idea. One of their volunteers happened to be a seamstress and provided helpful information when trying on the dresses. If you're more local, I would definitely visit a few times if you couldn't find what you liked the first time around. -

An amazing boutique supporting local and national charities!
What a lovely place with a fabulous mission! I had a delightful experience shopping for my wedding dress at the Portland shop. Brides for a Cause features a gorgeous array of dresses, reasonable prices, and excellent customer service. I was able to put my top two dresses on hold for 24 hours so that I could come back with my family the next day and make a final decision. They even have a small selection of bridesmaid dresses for $20 each. I went away thrilled with my dress and even more thrilled with where my money was going -- to the women-focused charities that Brides for a Cause supports. Cheers to that! -

I had a wonderful time buying my wedding dress here. They had a great selection of dresses in a variety of sizes and styles. The prices were also reasonable. It was a beautiful showroom, very clean. The sales people were very friendly, not pushy, and were as hands on or hands off as you wanted them to be. I would definitely recommend this store to any bride shopping for her wedding dress. -
