    Wonderful Experience!!

    Erin has a super kind and bright energy which makes you feel comfortable in front of cameras. She is very talented and creative! Erin, Cassie, Damien, and Jordan captured so wonderful images and videos on the wedding day. They were so patient and easy to work with. It was pouring at night and Erin came up with such a brilliant idea, taking pictures in the rain! She took my husband and me outside but we were not standing in the rain of course. Thanks to Cassie (who was the one “really” in the rain) holding lights, Erin captured such a beautiful and amazing shot!! We shared with our family and friends, they were all speechless. I highly recommend Erin and her team and can't wait to work with them again in the future!!

    I sent an online request for an appointment and immediately heard back from someone at the shop. I didn't need an appointment because I was only looking at accessories for my dress. I went on a Saturday afternoon and Debbie helped me. She was great. I ended up purchasing earrings, bracelet and a birdcage veil.

    Erin Cole Couture Bridal fulfilled all of my wedding dress #goals. After searching endlessly all over Orange County and Beverly Hills, I went to Erin Cole as a last option before my mom left town. (Because it's such a small boutique, I didn't think there was any point in going.... I mean, I tried on hundreds of gowns.... How could this little boutique possibly have something I hadn't already seen?!) We walked in without an appointment on a Tuesday morning (in workout clothes and no makeup) and quickly scanned the racks while telling the sales associate - Debbie - that I simply couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. Debbie asked a few questions and then said "You mean like this??" and pointed to an absolute masterpiece hanging on the back wall. We were in a hurry with mom's flight leaving in only 2 hours and Debbie urged me to quickly try it on, just in case. Upon stepping into my dream wedding gown with Debbie's careful assistance, I can only describe the feeling as true Bliss. I cried instantly upon seeing myself in the mirror and just knew it was a match made in heaven. My mom got to witness (and film!!) the entire thing and it was perfect. Debbie and Nazee (the alterations goddess) were flawless throughout the entire process and I highly recommend them to any SoCal bride. The collection is carefully curated, unique, special, and well worth your consideration, while the staff is second to none. Thank you Erin Cole Couture Bridal for having the foresight during Fashion Week to know that a special bride in Newport Beach, CA has been dreaming of Monique Lhuillier's Aviva dress (in So White) her whole life. You made my day!

    Beautiful and unique bridal collection! Whilst there are so many different styles and options to choose from, the dresses are carefully curated so it isn't overwhelming. Range of budgets, though the veils were a bit expensive. The bridal consultant and shop manager are very professional, sincere, and have a keen eye for what would suit your body type and style. I went to a couple shops before, and the atmosphere here is one of the nicest I'd seen. I had an idea and some photos with me, but the consultant actually suggested a few different options, and I am so pleased I trusted her. I ended up with the most perfect dress, suited to me, which combined all the elements I loved from several dresses, but was actually a dress I would never have picked myself. Funny how that happens! The seamstresses were so meticulous and talented, and very patient with me across the 3 fittings. Since I live abroad, I only had 2 weeks before the wedding for the final 2 fittings and despite the short time, and the amount of hand stitching needed due to the delicate embellishments, she made it happen.

    Working with Erin Cole to find my dream dress was honestly a dream come true. Everyone was extremely patient and understand what I was looking for- even suggesting dresses I wouldn't normally try- which is what I ended up with. I would absolutely recommend Erin Cole to my friends and family.

    I went to 4 dress stores in 2 days when shopping for my wedding dress. Erin Cole was the last place I went, and it stood out to me for several reasons: smaller place with more personalized attention, one appointment at a time so not crowded and impersonal, helpful and friendly staff, and an amazing selection of gowns and custom accessories. I purchased a Monique Lhuillier gown and a custom necklace and jeweled veil that I will treasure forever. For how much gowns cost in general, the service here is outstanding. Big bridal salons just can't provide this kind of attention.

    Erin Cole Couture Bridal's reply:

    Jennifer thank you for coming in. we are so ecstatic you found your dress at Erin Cole and take pride in providing the best to our Brides! You looked so incredibly stunning!

    I had an amazing experience at Erin Cole! Everytime I went there to try on dresses or get fitted the staff was always friendly and helpful. They pay close attention to detail, like helping style my hair while trying on dresses or even giving us champagne to help celebrate picking our dress! The alterations of the dress was amazing (and I changed it A LOT!)The dress and veil turned out perfect!! Thank you so much for everything!! -Alana

    Erin Cole Bridal was first stop I made when I began dress shopping. I ended up buying the third dress I tried on there! Malorie, Kate, and Erin Cole were extremely professional, helpful in the decision process but not pushy, polite, honest, and incredibly sweet. I ended up with a Rivini dress and also bought my veil, sash, and jewelry there. The seamstress was very attentive to my needs and made my dress flawless. Malorie provided me with a wedding day kit, beautifully packaged and inside it had needles already threaded, chalk, and other items incase of emergency. The day of my wedding, the zipper on one of my bridesmaid's dresses split right before walking down the aisle. The kit came in so incredibly handy and we were able to fix her dress in minutes!!! I was on the fence about wearing a veil, but Erin showed me different styles and helped me see how elegant it could look. I am so glad I listened to her. My dress, sash, veil, and earrings were stunning. The look was incredible and I owe that to Erin Cole and her staff.

    Erin Cole worked with me and my busy schedule in finding my dream dress and fitting in my alterations. They have a beautiful selection of bridal dresses and accessories that are unique and one of a kind, especially since they are made by Erin Cole herself! Classy, upscale yet boutique like store in Costa Mesa. Referred here by two other brides that had gorgeous weddings, and I will definitely refer here to my friends in the future. Veronica was great!

    I was in town for only a short while and had one day to dress shop with my mom and younger sister. I was looking for a great bonding experience (I live in London) and at the same time wanted to find the perfect dress for my wedding and not feel like it was the best I could find in a short amount of time.

    I went to Erin Cole in the middle of a busy dress shopping day (her store was stop 3 of 4), and the lady who was helping me was AMAZING. She and Erin Cole (who was there that day) were so helpful - they listened to what I liked and didn't like, took pictures on an iPad to show me what the dresses would look like, and showed me what the dresses would look like with the right veil, jewels, and hairdo (Erin can do a great impromptu ponytail!). My consultant and Erin listened carefully to what I liked and didn't like and guided us to 2 dresses. They completely understood that I had another appointment to get to, and told me that I could come in first thing Monday morning (they were closed on Sunday) if I wanted the trunk show discount on one of the dresses. I went back first thing that Monday morning and they helped me in and out of the 2 dresses I was torn between. Once Erin showed me the different ways to bustle one of the dresses to help me make up my mind, we started crying and busted out the champagne and credit card!

    What really stood out with this store isn't just the great selection (high quality, classy, and yet something for everyone), but the experience. Even though the store was filled to the brim on Saturday, they made me and my family feel like VIPs. They answered all my questions honestly, and I can't wait to go back when my dress comes in to pick out my veil and other accessories!

    I bought my dress from (Erin Cole Couture) and Erin designed it too! I went to other stores before finding Erins store, I highly recommend this shop because it's by appointment only, if you need more time just ask because sometimes your appointment will run over espeacially if your doing major changes to your dress the hour goes buy really fast!

    Thank you Erin

    Elegant shop located in a very unique shopping mini mall. She is a very nice, tall, and beautiful shop owner/designer who knows bridal gowns. She is very supportive and not pushy about selling other 'things'. Her accessories, mainly her jewelry designs are gorgeous, and i bought some earrings. Her staff are very nice and supportive as well. Everything is by appointment only so they can give you their undivided attention. I've been to other bridal places, and I don't recommend anyone else.

    I had an absolutely amazing experience buying a Judd Waddell gown at Erin Cole in Costa Mesa. All of the sales people were helpful. The dress arrived early. I also bought shoes and a veil from them! Go now, don't wait.

    The lovely ladies at Erin Cole (Kara and Kate) made the stressful process of finding the "one" - in this case a stunning Monique Llulier fit & flare gown - an absolute pleasure for me. They were sweet, accommodating and really went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for the big day. I actually visited many other stores (Saks, Panache, Monique Llulier) with my family and friends and tried on at least 30 dresses. After hearing glowing recommendations about Erin Cole from my event planners, I drove all the way from LA by myself to see if I could find something without the influences of any one else. Within 30 minutes, I was in the dress of my dreams and later found the perfect vail to match. Though the accessories were a little expensive, they were not much more than most stores of that caliber. Overall, I felt like I had known these wonderful women for years and I can't thank them enough for all their help.

    I absolutely loved my dress. The stylist was fantastic! She picked a bunch of dresses that fit my style and were gorgeous. They are a bit on the higher end but their dresses, sashses and veils are amazing.

    They also altered my dress and it fit like a dream.

    The only critique I have is that they forgot about my sash and it wasn't ready for my first fitting. I had asked about doing a different color and they were going to check but never called me.

    All the staff though is super nice and makes you feel like a princess.

    My dress was amazing! I looked at many different stores and this was the last on my list. A lot of other stores had many of the same dress and Erin's had far less but I loved so many of them, had none I had ever seen before. I loved that I spend several hours (on a Saturday no less) and I was not rushed or pressured into buying a dress that day or I would "loose" out on a discount! When I tired on my dress I just knew it was the one. They took my measurements and when I received my dress I needed NO alterations! It fit perfectly!

    Overall I had a really good experience with Erin Cole - as I ended up purchasing my dress from them, alterations, etc. I was a little disappointed in the dress buying experience however, as I felt since I wasn't there with a big group (it was just me) I didn't get as much attention as other brides who were in the shop. Other than that they did a great job. Their alterations specialist, Ada, was amazing at getting the dress to fit exactly right and Kate was helpful throughout the fitting process.

    I purchased my hair accessories at Erin Cole and they were stunning. The girls are so nice to work with and very helpful. The helped me choose a set of hair pins that looked perfect. The only regret is that I could have rented them at my hair and make-up location. O well I have a nice keepsake. Thank you Erin Cole
