After trying on dresses at three other bridal shops in San Diego I landed on Archive. Not only do…read morethey have a great selection of high quality, beautiful dresses and veils the staff is absolutely amazing. Tracy literally held my hand through my "i need to find my dress, like yesterday" crisis as my wedding approached, and sure enough we found my wedding dress and were able to talk through modifications and everything else. Im so happy with how my bridal look turned out and 100% recommended this shop to anyone searching for their wedding dress. The staff was even there for me through my "did i pick the right dress" crisis a few weeks out from my wedding, where they helped me try my dress back on and even a few others... just in case... and helped reassure my decision. Most dresses seemed to be priced from ~$2000-$5000. But i believe they have some lower priced ones and also much more expensive dresses based on the designer and other factors. Pictures from my dress and veil at the shop then from my wedding day.

Nedra and Jenna at Posh were AMAZING. I came here for what was my second bridal try on appointment…read moreanywhere and had the best time. I ended up finding my dress and veil here and getting it preserved through them. Parking is through the other side of the street, away from where the entrance to Posh is. There was a decent variety of options here considering how small the store is. I noted some preferred designers that they happened to have and helped me focus on those areas when I was picking ones to try on. Jenna was the one who assisted for my actual try ons. I opted to go alone so it was nice that she was giving me good feedback without being pushy. She paid attention to what I liked about certain dresses and ultimately recommended a few other dresses that had them. My dress ended up being one Jenna added for me! It was perfect because I was debating between something super classic vs romantic and she knew immediately that she could find me something in the middle. I got alterations done here as well as my veil. Altogether I was able to stay within my budget, though alterations were definitely a bit pricier which I know is common. Monika their seamstress was also great at giving me recommendations on what would look good without me really overthinking it. After my wedding I came back to get my dress preserved. They send it out to a third party but I was glad it was through them so I know I could trust it. I definitely recommend Posh for your bridal needs! Be sure to schedule an appointment and text them. They're incredibly responsive and helpful!

Erica had an appointment cancel on her so I got the full treatment! I didn't know what I wanted but she pulled a few options and right away, I fell in love! I feel so confident in my dress!

I went to this appointment by myself and was nervous but Brynn quickly made me feel comfortable. She pulled so many beautiful options, and I trusted her fully in the process.

I found my dream dress at Natty Bella! My sister had her wedding dress alterations done here, and I…read morewas so touched by the owner's story--the shop is named after her two granddaughters, and both of her daughters help run the business. As a local, I knew that when it was my turn, I wanted to purchase my dress from them. At my appointment, I shared my vision with the team, and they truly delivered. The very first dress the consultant selected for me was exactly what I had been dreaming of--classic, sleek, and princess-like. She understood my style even better than I did, since I had chosen nine other dresses that just didn't compare. She knew exactly what would flatter my body and bring my vision to life. Thank you for making my experience so magical!

I had such a wonderful experience with Maria at Bridal Showcase. From the beginning, she was…read moreincredibly kind, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right dress, not just selling me one. Maria took the time to really understand how I wanted to feel on my wedding day, my personal style, my venue, and what would work best for my body while still being comfortable and lightweight enough to actually enjoy wearing all day. She even pulled select dresses from the back that weren't on the floor because she knew they fit what I was looking for and were within my budget. What I appreciated most was that there was absolutely no pressure. Maria held my dress for me while I went to FIVE other bridal shops because I wanted to be completely sure I had found the one. After trying on so many other dresses, I came right back to Maria and Bridal Showcase and purchased it! You can really feel how much experience Maria has and how much care she puts into what she does. The quality of the dresses and the level of personal attention, customization, presence, and consideration she gives you is something I just didn't experience at the larger bridal shops. I would recommend Bridal Showcase and especially Maria to anyone shopping for a wedding dress. She made such an important part of the wedding experience feel thoughtful, personal, and special. I'm so grateful I found my dress here!

Highly recommend!

I am so over the moon to share that I found my dress at the Bustle! It did take a couple of tries…read moreto find "the one" but ultimately I found her ;) For my first visit to the Bustle, I did one of their large party reservations. They had champagne for everyone and it was truly a blast, but slightly overwhelming with so many personality types on my side of things. I recommend this to get the experience, but just want to give a heads up on that. I also had fallen in love with a sample dress that just did not fit my body unfortunately, though Tam & Melody tried their best to see how they might be able to modify it. At the end of the day it was just too much to do to the dress. For my second visit, I tried on a dress that I was initially interested in but didn't have time to try on at my first visit. And... well, this is the one. I tried on a few others as well, and ultimately left thinking about that first one. Melody was so awesome for not pushing me to make a decision, I really hate that feeling. So I was grateful to her for being so patient with me- this is a big decision!! At my final visit, it was just to re-try on MY dress and then one that was super similar to it. And that just locked in my decision! I am sooo happy I found my dress and I am very grateful to Melody for all her help

When I…read morefirst began planning my wedding, I knew I was going to be in a bind since I knew that trying on a million and one dresses was not going to be the thing for me. I knew exactly what I wanted, I just had to find it. After scouring every website imaginable, I found the dress I wanted-with a few minor changes. I tried to call the dress maker and change the things I didn't like, but they wouldn't make a dress with the changes I was requesting. After more internet searching, I found a website for a woman who makes wedding dresses. I called her, and the rest is wonderful history. I met with Rose and showed her the dress I wanted, and explained to her what I wanted changed. Without hesitation, she said she could do it. She went over every detail to make sure she was 100% sure that we were on the same page, and she even made suggestions to make it better; afterwards I was able to choose the exact material and lace that I wanted. Over the next 8 months I went in for multiple fittings, to make sure it would fit perfectly, and finally received my dress a few weeks before my wedding. My wedding dress was incredibly beautiful and fit me like a glove. Rose was able to replicate the exact dress I wanted, and make it spectacular! I can't urge anyone enough to go see Rose at Cinderella's Closet-you won't be disappointed.
