I was incredibly disappointed by my experience at The White Dress…read more Because I am getting married on a shorter timeline and primarily need to look at sample gowns, I tried calling several times the day before I planned to visit. Their website indicated that I needed to call rather than book this type of appointment online, but no one answered. I then texted and received no response. I followed up again, still received no response, and ultimately had to text a third time the day of before someone finally replied to tell me they were fully booked. That was completely understandable. I asked whether I could simply stop in to browse the available samples instead. I was offered a time that same day at 2:30 and told I could come in for approximately 30 minutes to look at the samples. I rearranged my entire afternoon and postponed visiting another bridal store so I could be there at the agreed-upon time. When I arrived, I began looking through the gowns. An employee approached me and abruptly told me that I could not be there without an appointment. I explained that I had been told to come at 2:30 to browse the samples. Rather than welcoming me or checking the messages, she responded in a dismissive way and said that she was already assisting another bride. OK, no problem. I really didn't need help just to browse. Another employee then came over, and the first employee told her that I claimed to have an appointment but did not. I again explained that I had just been communicating with the store by text. After asking my name and checking the messages, they confirmed that someone had, in fact, told me I could come in. At that point, no one apologized for the confusion or for the way I had been spoken to. I was left to navigate gowns that felt scattered throughout the boutique with almost no guidance. When I looked at certain dresses, I was abruptly told that I could not view them because they were part of a trunk show. I eventually found a sample gown I genuinely liked that appeared to be close to my size. When I asked for information about it or whether I could try it on, I was simply told I would have to come back because no one was available. It would've taken no time for them to pull it off the rack and allow me to try it on without wasting my time to have to drive an hour in for one single dress. It would've been a courteous thing to do and I was only there for about 10 minutes before I located it and it was the only one that worked. At least come over and offer me the courtesy of giving me some information. The girl was literally just sitting at the desk. I had a friend there also who could've helped me if I needed someone to zip it up. I really just wanted to check it out while I was there and honestly would have bought it on the spot if it worked. Again I don't have much time. I understand that bridal boutiques operate by appointment and that the store was busy. My issue is that I followed the instructions I was given, arrived at the exact time they offered me, and was then treated as though I had shown up uninvited and was inconveniencing them. The communication beforehand was extremely difficult, and the attitude I encountered once I arrived was dismissive and unnecessarily rude from the sales girl especially, the girl at the front desk was not rude, but she wasn't helpful. Wedding-dress shopping should feel exciting and welcoming. Even a simple congratulations, a friendly explanation, or an apology for the misunderstanding would have completely changed the interaction. I was prepared to spend upward of $10,000 on a gown, but regardless of someone's budget, every bride deserves to be treated with basic kindness and respect. The boutique itself is smaller than I expected and, in my opinion, the sample selection was not organized in a way that made browsing easy without assistance. I actually liked one of the gowns, but the experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I would rather purchase elsewhere. Other brides may have a better experience during a formally scheduled appointment, but based on how this situation was handled and how I was personally treated, I would not return.

I drove up here from San Diego back in my hometown of OC! First of all, this Anthropologie wedding…read moreand the store is beautiful. I am SO jealous we do not have this in San Diego. They have everything from wedding to beauty to home. I will be making trips over here when I visit OC. I chose Anthro to purchase a wedding dress. Their service was amazing. They allowed me to have a few more guests and was patient when I was late to the appointment due to a collision on the freeway. I tried on more dresses than I originally picked. They offered champagne and water. They were positive, professional, and kind and I recommend you buy your wedding dress here. They didn't try to upsell me and prices are transparent on their website. You save a little if you buy from the store.

Anthropology had truly my dream dress at an extremely affordable cost! Would highly recommend choosing it if your priorities are the same as mine! The lady helping us honestly seemed like she didn't really want to the there (one of my bridesmaids said something after too so I know it wasn't just me) but she was plenty nice overall and they give brides and the people they bring free drinks so overall very good experience!

I came to Del Mar to visit family and they insisted I visit the bustle. Yea right, I thought. Like some tiny store will have anything new. First, it's got a huge inventory. Second, they had designers I had never even heard of before. Tam was wonderful. He was so patient and has a wonderful eye for styling. I found and bought my dress there and can't believe I almost gave up and bought a dress I wasn't one hundred percent sure about. If you're a San Diego bride, this is definitely the store to try.

Not only was my wedding dress was delayed from the bridal shop, it came with sleeves even though I ordered a sleeveless dress. On top of that, it was less than a week before my wedding so I was incredibly stressed. Even with these hiccups from the bridal shop, Rita immediately put my mind at ease and somehow worked her magic to alter my dress in such a short amount of time without sacrificing a single detail. I was able to attach and detach the sleeves, which was the look I wanted. Her attention to detail was truly exceptional. She took the time to make sure every adjustment was perfect, ensuring my dress fit beautifully and looked absolutely seamless. It was obvious how much pride she takes in her work, and it showed in the final result. Not only is she amazingly talented, but she's also such a warm, sweet, and compassionate person. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed on time, and thanks to her, I was able to walk down the aisle feeling confident and beautiful. I am beyond grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and kindness. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and delivers outstanding work, look no further. She is absolutely the best! Thank you, Rita!

My daughter had been looking at many gowns in other shops and sent me pictures of herself in samples. Although they were priced super expensive, the quality of the fabric was terrible. I could see that the fabric weight and color on any of them were not the best choice at all. Who were they kidding? Because Judy has about 600-700 gowns available, both my daughter and I thought this shop would be a great baseline to compare with others,. We called and made an appt and arrived on the 21st. Apparently I got the month wrong because it was April 21st and I thought it was March 21st. NTL, Judy accommodated us later that day and my daughter was lucky enough to find the style she was looking for on the same day. Unlike the other samples in previous shops. the gown from Judy's shop was beautifully made and fit so well. The fabric weight and sheen were exactly what an experienced designer would want to show off their design. There was just no comparison to the others. Judy's service was excellent; She's very nice and an honest business woman with a lot of knowledge about this specialty. Let her help you with the process and be honest about where you are, what you know and don't know about shopping for gowns, what your expectations are as well as your budget so she can guide you with your specific needs. Her designer selections cover just about every style. And there is value to be found in a well made gown that is not overpriced. When you don't overpay, you do get more quality for your money and that is where the lesson of value is enhanced in luxury. You should feel confident and beautiful on your wedding day and be proud of your wedding gown choice. Thank you Judy so much for helping my daughter with her decision. We will see you again soon.
