Emily L. Sent on 01/06/2019A truly memorable wedding gown experience
My mom set up several bridal appointments for me in both Ohio and California and this was the very last boutique we visited. This was by far the smallest boutique, but it was also the most beautiful one, and the experience could not have been more personal and enjoyable. The two women who own this boutique are French with an impeccable taste in wedding style. They have dresses, veils, head pieces and jewelry from designers all over the world in their shop. I just so happened to visit them when they had gowns from Peter Trends Bridal, an Australian designer. I absolutely fell in love with the Bali Hai gown, but the dress was a bit above my price range. I spoke with the two owners of the boutique as well as with Peter Trends directly, and they were able to offer me the sample gown at a discount! It was a dream come true to be able to purchase this dress, and the experience didn’t end there. After I bought my gown, the two women helped me find the perfect veil from one of their UK designers and also offered me a discount. They also gave me accessory ideas which my mom then later used to design my own hair piece with Kate and The Crown on Etsy. They met with me and their personal seamstress at least 6 different times to ensure the alterations for my dress were nothing short of perfect. I have not experienced this attention to detail and level of customer service at any other bridal boutique in Ohio or the Bay Area. If you are looking for a unique, designer gown, unprecedented customer service and two women who will become true friends by the end of your wedding dress experience, then look no further than Nouvelle Vogue Boutique in San Mateo! I’m still in awe by my experience with this place! -

User2227542 Sent on 07/15/2015This small boutique has a selection of the most elegant and unique couture dresses. We knew when we entered the salon that it is a cut above the the other places we'd been. Stunning dresses; each different from the next; great variety of tasteful styles. Beautiful designer gowns that don't need gimmicks. You can see the quality in the fit, the details, the fabric. Outstanding. Not a place to find 'cheap'. They understood our budget and we found exactly the right wedding gown thanks to Chantal & Saida. -
User1933025 Sent on 11/20/2014Chantal & Saida were such a pleasure to work with it is almost hard to put into words! I left the store where I found the dress I knew was right for me just so that I could work with them. They are some of the nicest ladies who always make you feel comfortable and welcomed in their adorable boutique. It is the best way to shop for a wedding dress hands down! No other stores that I visited in the Bay Area compared!

Christine Sent on 09/25/2014Nouvelle Vogue is by far the best bridal salon I visited while I was on the hunt for my wedding dress. I wanted something special and different. They have a highly curated selection of truly unique wedding gowns, you won't find these dresses anywhere else! I went with a flirty, vintage-inspired knee length dress by Francesca Miranda. It's so unique and fun, but still elegant and bridal. I got so many compliments on it, even the wedding venue contacted me after the wedding to find out the designer!
Saideh was super patient with us and so helpful. We altered the dress a couple times to give it the perfect fit, and in the end it was just that - perfect.
I highly recommend Nouvelle Vogue for the bride who's looking for something a little different. You will find the dress that was meant for you here. -
User1410924 Sent on 10/30/2013Our family wished to thank both of you for all your help and kindness in the selection of Allison's wedding gown. We so appreciated you loaning her your stole, choosing the right accessories, and the alterations. Allison was a stunning bride on a perfect day filled with many happy memories. We highly recommend that every bride come to Nouvelle Vogue.

User1171390 Sent on 05/22/2013Nouvelle was the first place I went when trying on wedding dresses. The atmosphere is amazing and Saida and Chantel go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. They helped select all the dresses I tried on. I had an idea of what I wanted but they encouraged me to try this beautiful blush silk organza Cymbeline dress that was nothing like what I thought I wanted and it was PERFECT! I went to 5 other stores in the bay area and NO ONE cares more about the bride then Nouvelle does. I bought the Cymbeline dress a few months later. When it came time for alterations, I went to other places first and knew I had to work with Saida and Chantel again. I would never have known about the French bustle without them (it looks way better than a traditional bustle). Nouvelle should definitely be one of the shops you visit. Its the ideal wedding dress experience...... -
User1477929 Sent on 12/20/2013I truly cannot say enough about Nouvelle Vogue and its owners Chantalle and Saida. These ladies are exceptionally knowledgeable where fashion and the style and fit of gowns are concerned. They made this process so profoundly memorable for me and for my family. Saida and Chantalle's expertise was gleaned through countless years in the industry, first in Paris and now the U.S. I visited many wedding gown vendors in the Bay Area and what I found was that Saida and Chantalle not only carried the most impressive gowns crafted with the softest, lightest high-quality fabrics, but most importantly, they were not interested in selling me their most expensive gown. After getting to know me during my first visit, I came in for a second visit only to have a breathtaking gown waiting for me in the dressing room. "We feel this is your dress" they said, which was lower in price point than the original one I was interested in. Sure enough, after trying on the dress I knew it was the one. It seemed incredible at that point that two women knew their craft and knew WOMEN so well that they could instinctively select a gown that was evocative of each bride-to-be. I will champion this bridal boutique forever and keep referring brides to them. - Lena -
User1316355 Sent on 09/05/2013They specialize in European couture gowns that you won't see in other bridal salons that are just stunning! What I appreciated the most was how well Saida understood the look I was going for and was able to pull items that really fit me and my personality, even though I just met her! They also have an expert seamstress that will take excellent care of your gown for alterations. On the wedding day, I got so many compliments of my gown, veil, and jewelry, and its all thanks to Nouvelle Vogue!!!!! I couldn't be more thankful!! They were absolutely wonderful!!

Star Sent on 07/18/2011I absolutely LOVED my experience with Nouvelle Vogue! This bridal salon had a beautiful selection of gowns. Saida & Chantal were super kind and professional from beginning to end. I almost cancelled my appointment because we were running so late, but they had no problem with us running behind on a Friday night (Black Friday none the less). To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to this shopping experience....I didn't think I was going to find a wedding gown that I absolutely loved, much less on the one and only day I'd ever looked at gowns. I feel extremely lucky that my gown shopping experience turned out to be so great. I did go over my desired budget, but it was so worth it. I didn't want to take my beautiful Cymbeline gown off at the end of the night. I can't give enough props to Saida and Chantal for giving me a wonderful shopping and buying experience for my wedding gown. I also worked with the seamtress (I can't recall her name) the salon works with and she also did a fantastic job on my alterations. Both, Chantal and Saida, were there for the entire process. Thank you so much for making this whole experience so fun & exciting.

User1432362 Sent on 11/11/2013I absolutely love the dress I found here for my wedding. The shop is adorable and they have a beautiful selection of dresses. However I had several moments of frustration in regards to timeline and responsiveness. My dress, veil, and headpiece were all created in France and had to be sent to the shop in San Mateo. Chantal and Saida were not up front with me about how long items ordered would take to arrive, which caused quite a bit of stress for me. When I would send an email or call for an update, they did not respond in a timely fashion and often didn't have an answer. Apparently they don't have any way to track the shipments, so you just have to wait. In the end, it all worked out, and I do feel I had the perfect dress. I also think it helps, though to be aware of the bumps that can occur along the way. -
User1107022 Sent on 03/11/2013Unfortunately my dress did not arrive until the week of my wedding. When it did, it was made poorly and had to be completely remade. Although it was no fault of the shop, I should NOT have had to pay for the mistakes from the manufacturer.
