    Mamak did an incredible job saving my wedding dress. I initially brought it to a different seamstress who took it in incorrectly. Mamak was able to fix everything and did a beautiful job altering the dress in areas where I wanted to be covered more. She is incredibly talented and did a flawless job. I was so happy with the result. She did this all two weeks before my wedding day. I am so grateful for her and I highly reccomended her to anyone who wants beautiful work done on their clothing.

    Mamak is the absolute best tailor in San Diego and very talented !!! My mom and I only use Mamak and her services for any of our tailoring needs. Mamak fitted my wedding gown for me, second look dress, and countless other dresses for formal events. For my wedding dress she did the most amazing job. My dress fit me perfectly and honestly looked like it was custom made for me. I could not have been happier with her work Most recently, she did the most beautiful job for a gown I bought for my brother's wedding. She completely turned it into a different, more beautiful and elegant dress. I received so so many compliments. Mamak is very kind and caring and always goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tailor in San Diego!!

    Bought my dress online and had it altered to fit better.

    Mamak is a joy to work with. She kept working with me until my wedding dress fit perfectly. She also made the most beautiful veil which was better than I could have dreamed!

    Mamak is a gem! I came in to get measurements and found such a sweet lady that did the job instantly and graciously.

    Mamak is an incredible artist. She worked with my daughter on her incredibly intricate wedding dress. This dress needed a special technique for the hem and bodice and Mamak not only perfectly executed she also was very professional and gave us amazing advice on the fit and the bustle. She is truly talented. 10 out of 10!!!

    I can't express how grateful I am to Mamak! I have been going to her for years now and I'm so so excited that she now has her own shop in La Jolla! Mamak CUSTOM made my engagement dress, my bridal shower dress, and my wedding dress & veil. She took the time to consult with me by listening to what I liked and what I hoped for and literally went above and beyond. She is so kind and sincere. She's a delight to work with :) I highly recommend her for all your tailoring or custom design needs!!

    It's been such an amazing experience all the way around, that I don't even know where to start!…read moreFrom having the most beautiful selection of dresses to the very best service, I'd rate White Flower a million stars if I could. White Flower happened to be my first stop when dress shopping, and man, they set the bar high. I visited close to ten stores and every experience felt rushed, sales-pushy, and uncomfortable. That is not the case here. You get your own private room to be in the moment with your loved ones that makes the entire experience feel so much more special. Hanna, who is now my favorite person ever, deserves the biggest shoutout of all! She is kind, knowledgeable, and hilarious, which immediately made us all so comfortable. She picked up what I was putting down immediately and knew what I wanted more than I even did. I genuinely look forward to whenever I get to come back for reveals, fittings, and pick ups because it's always wonderful seeing her. Thank you for making one of the most hectic parts of wedding planning a breeze. My dress is more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of!!!!!!

Booking online was fairly easy, but I couldn't book a weekend directly on the site which made me put it off. I eventually had a weekday off and was able to come by! Parking was easy with a lot of paid spots on the street. Hannah was my stylist and she was amazing! She saw in the notes that I was there for a specific brand so she directed me to their dresses right away. I told her what my vision was and that I had a dress that I think I want, and she recommended another off the rack option from the brand that fit the bill. She verified when my wedding was given it was only a few months away and before anything, confirmed that we were still in the timeframe of receiving it in time since they were made to order. It was great because it was really respectful of my time, in case it wasn't an option for me anymore. Luckily, it was! She was super sweet throughout and helpful in walking me through my options. When I brought up a small thing holding me back, she even let me know of an alteration I could do from the brand. I had a wonderful experience and I'm so glad I went here. Hannah is a gem!!

I honestly felt a little bad for switching things up so much, but Jenn never made me feel rushed or stressed. She stayed so positive, encouraging, and reassuring the entire time, reminding me there was no need to worry. The selection was amazing. They had such a wide range of dresses, from different fits and silhouettes to a variety of beautiful fabrics. They also offer a wide range of pricing, and I really appreciated that you share your budget ahead of time. That way, during the appointment, cost wasn't even something I had to think about. I never once worried about the price of the dresses I was trying on because Jenn already had that handled when she was pulling options for me! Jenn truly went above and beyond to help me find the dress. She patiently pulled options, guided me through what worked best, and somehow led me right to the one I ended up saying yes to. She was also amazing with my bridal party, keeping them updated and involved, especially during those moments when I was stuck in the dressing room unsure about a dress. On top of that, the boutique itself was so clean, organized, and welcoming. What really stood out is that they don't just sell you a dress, they create an experience. The whole appointment felt fun, special, and anything but boring. Jenn is seriously the best, and I couldn't recommend her more!

The Luv Bridal team reached out before my appointment to get an idea of what I was looking for. When I arrived, they walked through my price point first, then confirmed what we previously discussed was still what I wanted. I was able to select a few dresses to try on and my stylist, Sara, had a few in mind as well. Coincidentally, we both picked out a few of the same dresses. Luv Bridal takes such good care of their brides. I left loving a dress and they told me to think about it. I never felt pressured to buy the same day to lock in a particular pricing. And a few weeks later when I was ready to move forward, they still took great care of me. Thank you, Luv!!

While some were out of my budget or would have required alterations I wasn't willing to do, I ended up finding the perfect dress--already my size, needing little to no alterations, and within my budget. We were honestly amazed. I also really appreciated that they offer to hold a dress for a short period of time (either a few hours or up to a day). When you're making a big purchase decision--especially since the dresses are final sale--it's refreshing and reassuring to see a business that encourages you not to rush. It felt honest and thoughtful, not like they were just trying to make a quick sale. The only downside was the fitting room lighting. It isn't very flattering and doesn't show well on camera, which makes it hard if you're FaceTiming family or friends for a second opinion. I'd recommend stepping toward the front of the store near the window for better lighting. As a suggestion to the store, improving the fitting room lighting would make a huge difference and would also allow customers to feel more comfortable without having to walk to the front of the shop or be visible from outside. Overall, though, it was truly a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend this store.

In the past year, I've visited bridal boutiques like Luv Bridal, Luv Era, Proposal Bridal, and Bellas Posa. In comparison of the boutiques and stylists, I learned good business versus sales business. Many other boutiques have made my bridal journey magical by guiding my direction in finding the "the one" and even sat me down advising if I had hesitations on the dress, look in other places that fit my budget and vision. Now, I realized how poor or lack of attention I was given. Jana Ann Couture didn't personalize my appointment like other boutiques such as a name plaque or complimentary drinks. Worst part, the scam tactics my stylist used to force me to say "Yes to the dress." For example, pretending to call a designer on the phone saying she'll send pictures of me with the dress and sleeves together because "it's a new pairing we put together." She even added, "We can have this dress named after you." She gave discounts and payments plans while I said "not sure yet" in multiple phrases. I felt rushed and pressured, because she added that this dress would not be remade or redesigned because it was brand new and exclusive? Then said, "I can knock off xxx since it'll be off the rack." After a couple weeks after making the deposit, I asked to refund the dress or cancel the payment, and she replied, "Reselling on Still White is a great option." After 8 months, I have resold the dress for it will not fit my wedding theme. P.S. The dressing rooms were horrid. Many other boutiques have bigger rooms and other stylists are professionally trained on how to put on a gown properly. I did not experience the same care and attention at Jana Ann Couture.

This was the first bridal shop I visited, and the very first dress I tried on ended up being the one I had been eyeing online. I still tried on a few others just to be sure, but I kept going back to that original dress. I had seen reviews saying this shop is only for very slim brides, and I completely disagree. I have curves and the dress fit me perfectly. Since I wasn't expecting to find my dress so quickly, I took a few days to think about it before ordering. My dress arrived in about four weeks and the process was so easy. It fit perfectly and just needs some hemming. Noelle was so awesome she had let me know that I could come back with friends and family to have a yes to the dress moment which I did.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Karla, the seamstress, who truly went above and beyond in every possible way. Her attention to detail is unmatched, she made sure every inch of my dress fit perfectly and looked flawless. But beyond her talent, it was her energy and care that made the experience so special. She brought excitement and positivity to every single appointment and always made me feel beautiful and confident. As a very Type A bride, I was definitely anxious and stressed throughout the process, but Karla constantly reassured me that everything would come together and she was right. Every appointment felt supportive and uplifting, and by the end, my dress was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. And let me just say Karla made sure this dress was indestructible. Based on the fitted style I chose, I truly didn't think I'd even be able to sit, let alone move comfortably. I was so worried about the zipper or seams giving out, but not even close. I danced all the way down to the floor, moved freely all night, and somehow even managed to lift myself up and over a fence for the most stunning cliffside photos. The craftsmanship and reinforcement she put into my dress gave me total confidence to fully enjoy every moment without holding back. If you're looking for a place that truly cares and a seamstress who treats your dress like it's the most important one she's ever worked on, this is it. I'm so grateful for this experience and will never forget how special they made me feel on such an important journey

To make matters worse, management never once called to apologize or provide any reassurance during the process. When the dress finally arrived, it was not what we paid for and the issues were never properly fixed before the wedding day. The day of the wedding at 7AM is when the dress was fixed and finished. This caused the bride and our entire family an unbelievable amount of stress and anxiety during what should have been a joyful time. The lack of professionalism, communication, and customer care was extremely disappointing. A wedding dress is one of the most important purchases for a bride, and this experience was handled terribly from start to finish.

At previous salons I felt those concerns magnify. But with Rosa I felt safe. She made my friends and I feel so incredibly special, and she just knew what would look good on me. She did a great job clamping the dress to fit me and just made me feel so good in my own skin. The dress is truly amazing, and in such a large part that's due to her. Fast forward a few months there was a hiccup in delivery, not at all the fault of Brides of SD, but I was so anxious. Lonnie, the owner, saved the day. Lonnie made sure I got my dress and on time. Special shout out to Mya who called with updates at every turn and honestly just made me feel so calm and safe.

She did such meticulous work so fast - she's truly amazing. All this to say, the road to my dress had a significant bump, but Brides of San Diego came through for me, and my dress is next level perfect.
