Choosing Dreamers & Lovers was by far the easiest, best decision for my wedding dress. Not only are the designs unique, elegant & timeless BUT the quality, fit, custom sizing and ease made the entire process seamless. Yanique is sooo incredibly gifted and has poured so much of her heart and soul into this company -- delivering hand crafted care & love into every piece and every customer. Her attention to detail and compassion is what makes her store and designs soooo special. She also turned around my dress in rapid time, as I bought it only 8 weeks before my elopement! I highly recommend getting your custom dress from this store, I've never felt more beautiful AND more taken care of.

Love love love, Dreamers and Lovers! So thankful for my friend who told me about this boutique. Yanqiue you were such a pleasure to work with. My wedding dress was beyond gorgeous yet comfy and so me. If you are into the boho laid back bride look this is the shop for you. Setting up an appointment was super easy and thankfully I came before covid closed everything. I had a first fitting and a final fitting. I was fortunate to be able to have my most special women at my final fitting. Yanique and her staff exceeded my expectations. I felt super special and cared for as a person and a client. It felt amazing to know that my wedding dress was made for me here in California by Yanique and her seamstresses. Thank you Norma! I cannot wait to show you photos of me on my wedding day. Stay tuned for an update or photo upload once I receive them. They just opened a new shop in Venice which I hope to visit one day. Love you Yanique and blessings!

My dress was absolutely beautiful!! I could not imagine wearing any other dress. The fit was perfect and showed off my shoulders. The shop is beautiful and so are all their dresses. That being said...I was not offered a sign to take a picture with that said yes to the dress. I came in with an idea of a dress I wanted but when I tried it on it was not the right fit for me. If I had not have asked to see some other dresses the shop would have let me walk right out the door. I didn't know beverages were part of the experience my family and I were offered nothing. When I went for my first official fitting after the dress was made it was too tight. After the second alteration the dress fit better but the buttons were not aligned and the fabric was bunched under the lace. My friends noticed those concerns not the shop. But the shop immediately addressed them and fixed them. Each time you make an appointment you are charged 45 dollars and each time I had to ask to be refunded. I am still waiting for my last refund for an appointment. I never got a response from the shop so I had to dispute it with the credit card company. I did not find the owners to be that friendly especially when it came time to doing the measurements via virtual appointment. I asked to come in person for measurements and it was met with quit some pushback about coming in for the second time which was disappointing. However after I insisted I was able to come in person for a second measurement. The dresses are beautiful and you won't be disappointed if you get a dress here these are just concerns I have and future brides should look out for.

I first fell in love with Yanique's dresses while searching through gowns online. There was something about her style that spoke to me. I tried on soooo many gowns leading up to my appointment at Dreamers & Lovers, but none felt like me. I knew I would find my dress at her shop and I was right!! They're all so gorgeous and unique and comfortable!! But when I tried on Hayley, it was meant to be. And then there was the added bonus of having the dress designer there with me!! Yanique is incredible and smart and funny and kind. Her store is truly a reflection of her. Beautiful and effortless. No hassle. It was intimate and straight-forward and fun. I had my appointment the Saturday before everything shut down and it was such a comfort to know that her shop was local, the dress would be made mere miles away, and that Yanique was there for all of it. When I called unsure about the sleeves, she assured me that I could think it over and make the decision during the final fitting. When I decided I wanted a custom blush liner, she went downtown to the fabric district to find different options for me. I cannot express how thankful I am for her talent and caring and amazing customer service. I felt like I was trying on dresses with an old friend who just so happens to be cool as all get out. Wearing the dress on the day, I felt absolutely beautiful. EVERYONE loved it!! I've received compliment after compliment. The dress truly made our day. It is so special. It was feminine and whimsical (even while I dragged it through the dirt and stomped around in my tall lace-up combat boots). The photos are phenomenal!! Our wedding could not have been more perfect and I felt so beautiful thanks in large part to that stunning gown. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Yanique!! I am so excited that I get wear my dress again in June when we do the full family party (after some thorough dry cleaning)!!

It's all in the name!!! Dreamers and Lovers! When I got engaged, I knew for sure that I wanted a bohemian-style of dress. I Googled this, and it just happened that Dreamers and Lovers was located 7 miles away from my house! Obviously meant to be ;-) Once I saw the dresses online and on IG (@dreamersandlovers_), I knew this was where I would find the dress I would marry my best friend, in. The process was seamless... I went in (pre-COVID times) with my MOH after making an appointment online and having my top 3 choices ready upon my arrival, had a personal assistant help me, drank the champagne we brought, and found my dress within the hour! They took my measurements then and we paid for 1/2 the dress, then had an updated fitting 4 months from the scheduled wedding date (in case any weight fluctuations), and a final fitting one month before! The dress was made from scratch for me-- I was able to request more fabric added around the armpits so no pinching could occur, I added some fabulous push-up pads in there as I would be braless and wanted a little support, and I had the option of adding pockets to this particular style if I wanted! Yanique was amazing-- completely gifted at her craft-- and was more than happy to answer all my questions! She was kind, personable-- asking about details I had mentioned in previous interactions-- and created a STUNNING dress!!! I received so many compliments on it, as many said "it was totally me," and I deeply grateful that Yanique embraced her gifts to provide us non-traditional-dress brides something unique and better-suited for our style! And on top of it being beautiful, my dress was EXTREMELY comfortable to dance in all night, and I was able to eat and sit without it being too tight. I highly recommend Dreamers and Lovers to all Brides wanting that boho-ethereal vibe!!! One suggestion: The best way to communicate with them after beginning the process (making an appt) through their website (https://www.dreamersandlovers.com/) was emailing the owner/designer, Yanique directly (E: Yanique@dreamersandlovers.com).

To say working with Yanique and the D+L team was an absolute DREAM would be a huge understatement. Yanique is an angel sent from the Wedding Heavens Above and makes you feel so seen and heard during all of the ranges of emotion one goes through during the process of not only picking out your dream dress but planning a wedding over all! I could talk (and have talked ) to her for hours. My husband and I got married under very unique circumstances, I was so nervous I wasn't going to be able to get my dream Dreamers and Lovers dress The Genevieve in time for our wedding. But the team didn't hesitate or even act for one second like it was an option to go somewhere else and promised me my dress could be made and ready in time for our big day. They are incredible- absolute magic. The best energy a bridal shop can have. My dress was spectacular and beautifully made. I plan on wearing it every anniversary for the years to come just so I can wear it annually. I recommend D+L to all of my girlfriends and co workers who aren't even engaged yet to look into D+L when they start planning their big day I can't possibly say enough about this GEM of a dress shop. Thank you guys for everything you do.

I can't thank the team at Dreamers& Lover's enough for making my dream wedding dress! I had a very specific style in mind and wanted something that was not only beautiful but comfortable. I found Dreamer & Lovers on Instagram and had to visit their gorgeous shop. They were the first and only shop I visited. I instantly fell in love with not only the designs, but the staff. They were so attentive and truly spent the time selecting dresses that fit my style. The ordering process was easy and I only had to go in for my final fitting. The dress fit perfectly and I didn't have to worry about what undergarments would work well with the dress. It was so comfortable! All my guests commented on how detailed and custom my wedding dress was! I will be recommending them to all my friends and family looking for a one of a kind wedding dress.

Dreamers & Lovers is the best shop to go to if you are looking for a wedding dress. I visited a few other wedding dress shops and Dreamers & Lovers had the best energy. Yanique, the designer and owner is very kind, patient and helpful. I did not feel pressured to buy a dress right away like other wedding dress shops. My entire experience here was just wonderful.Every dress is absolutely stunning. The dresses are handmade in the shop which is incredible. Yanique and her team put a lot of detail into getting the dress to fit perfectly. The space itself is beautiful and just full of amazing vibes. I am so happy that I was able to get my wedding dress here. If you are looking for a dress and want a stress-free and overall amazing experience please go here. Yanique goes above and beyond to make sure that you have the perfect dress. I am forever grateful for Dreamers & Lovers.

I'll be honest, I wasn't into the whole wedding dress thing. I didn't like the idea of a big fluffy puffy dress, or a heavy, form-fitting bedazzled one - I wanted to DANCE at my wedding, and I wasn't interested in spending thousands and thousands of dollars. Then I came across the Aurora dress from Dreamers & Lovers on Pinterest - and I knew that was the one. I made an appointment at Dreamer's and Lovers studio, booked a trip to LA, and the rest is history. On my fitting day, there were some altering issues, but Yanique (owner and designer) was there overseeing the process and insisting on the perfect fit. She stayed late to make sure that happened so I could take my dress home with me that night. Alma was there for my initial appointment, as well as my fitting - she helped me get in and out of my dress a million times and was just so patient, kind, and accommodating while we were in the studio. I wish I knew every single seamstresses name that worked on my dress - there were so many helping, and they are all amazing. Such skilled masters of their work - I don't think there's anything they can't do! My only complaint about D&L is the lack of response from their team when I sent emails regarding updated measurements. It made me really nervous when I hadn't heard back in over a week, and felt this took away from their professionalism. Overall though, my experience was great. I felt more beautiful on my wedding day than I've ever felt, and the compliments have been endless.

The reason I'm giving 2 stars is because I try to be a fair person and my dress was very beautiful. The whole experience was very frustrating for me because there is not multiple fittings. If you are wanting a fitted dress I would not recommend getting it from here. There is just one and it's the day you pick up your dress. I flew in from SF and was there for about 6 hours. I almost missed my flight home and had to find someone else to alter my dress and pay out of pocket for which was very disappointing. I left in tears and was not offered reimbursement or anything.

OH! MY! GOSH! Dreamers and Lovers is THE place you need to get your wedding dress! Not only are the dresses GORGEOUS, but the team there is THE best! Being a wedding photographer myself, I've heard horror stories about dress shopping. Yanique and her team are so caring, loving, and truly make you feel as if you're the only bride in the world!! If you're going for a boho wedding, this is your place! DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE

Hi ! ? What is the price range for the dresses?

The website gives you pricing.

Hello - do you have any skirt overlays for brides? I already have my dress but would love to get a skirt overlay close to the one I tried.

They do a lot of custom stuff, so most likely. Just call and inquire.

If I were to schedule an appointment at the store, what kind of sizes would be available to try? I'm a size 12, and I have a hard time imagining what a dress will look like when I have to try on one that's too small and clamped in the back.

Luckily, they have dresses to try on in a variety of sizes. I'm a 12 and I got to try on all the dresses in my size.

The consultants, managers, and owner are so sweet and really spend the time to get to know who you are and understand your preferences. The place is comforting, sweet, and relaxing. They even have connection services to alterations and dress cleanings. Huge thank you to Lauren and Louise who helped with dress selection and service (and Brianne who is always an angel when I come to the store). 100/10 recommend!

Most dresses I tried on were too small for me (ended up purchasing my wedding dress in a size 24 bridal sizing, normally size 18) and had to be strapped on with clips. I didn't mind this, but it can be hard to envision a dress when it is simply much smaller especially in the bust area. That being said, my stylist was able to pull around 6 dresses he felt would fit my vibe and they totally did! I loved everything I tried on, and though the ones I did fall in love with were over budget they were BEAUTIFUL. They take great care of their samples, all dresses I tried on were in great condition. The consultants were all very sweet and made me feel comfortable and confident! The space was very clean and pretty. Though I did not end up purchasing my dress from Bridal Elegance I did enjoy my time here!

They…read morehave wonderful customer service reps who are happy to spend time with the customer to make sure that whatever you are looking to create is done to your specifications. They are also a bridal company so they have experience in meeting deadlines for weddings. The owner is a breast cancer survivor and she donates significant portions of the proceeds to breast cancer foundations (not for awareness but to get reconstructive surgery for women who don't have medical insurance). I know her personally and she works very long hours for her company to succeed. What's really incredible about this brand is they let you build your own apparel from the threads all the way to the rhinestones. You get to pick a tank top, t-shirt, long sleeved tee, hoodie, track jacket, or even velour pants or a swimsuit, and you choose the color. Then you get to choose your design: you can pick one of their pre-designed phrases or graphics, or you can submit your own artwork and they will "blingify" it for you, in any crystal color you want. Some of the things I have ordered from them were for my wedding party, birthday gifts for friends/family, baby shower gifts (yes, they do make onesies!), and even activism and sports. The apparel they provide is of superior quality and the crystals are very "faceted", as in they reflect a lot and don't look like the cheap plastic ones you see on clothing at department stores. They never fall off the clothes; I have owned several tank tops and hoodies as well as a velour sweat suit set and none of them have ever lost a crystal even being laundered with high heat. I will continue to recommend this company to all of my friends and family because I know the people who run it and they treat their customers like VIPs and do everything they can to make you happy.

Literal PTSD from this unnecessary nightmare of a woman…read more. Let me start by saying if she took credit cards like anormal business and not strictly Zelle and Venmo (ok sketchy) perhaps this might be a better review.. We had to cancel a dress appoint with 2 days notice after an injury to my fiancées grandma, and she said "no problem, family first" and another appointment was made for two weeks later. Then.. a week later she's blowing up our phone to pay the full amount ($750) BEFORE we pickup the wedding dress. We didn't feel comfortable paying the full amount without seeing the dress was done correctly first. But the woman Marie didn't want to hear that. (This women is so ADHD and has extreme problems with parts of conversation that don't involve her being the one talking.) The best way I could describe this conversation was like having a debate with Donald Trump. She never stops talking and she just round and round in circles endlessly and gets mad at you for trying to speak. She was demanding that we "send her a deposit" and we asked multiple times "how much are you asking for??". First and second time we asked she just kept talking about "how nice she is". Third time we asked she said "whatever you want, anything" ..like what..? So we asked again trying to get clarification and she said "whatever, like how about half!" This is why people make contracts so you don't have to do exactly this.. She kept falsely claiming there was any kind of contract, but when I pressed her about what the contract said she got irate and said "you agreed to $750 due", which yes of course we agreed to pay $750, but attached is what she was calling the "contract". There was no signature, nothing about payment dates, nothing about deposits, strictly "$750 due". Then she said she didn't "appreciate our energy" and "didn't like being bullied" from asking her about where it says anything about a deposit and why she couldn't understand why we wouldn't want to pay before we know it was sized correctly. Then.. she got extremely irate and said she "didn't need our business" and she "could have another girl take your place by tomorrow" and then she said she'd cancel our appointment and **"good luck getting your dress back"** and "I'll have my husband and the police waiting for you", like what..? and then she put her husband on the speakerphone and said "my husband is here but he hasn't said anything.." (probably because also like Trump it's hard for her to ever stop talking so how is anyone supposed to get a word in) Then my fiancée started just bursting out crying cuz who needs this kind of unnecessary stress..? So I ended up apologizing to this New Jersey mob wife woman for nothing but trying to ask about these deposits out of nowhere just so this , and we could get our $5000 wedding dress back because my fiancée was worried she was so unhinged that she might cut up or destroy her dress.. After we calmed her down and she kept saying the same things she had said 40 times around and around again about how nice she was to have cancelled the first appointment, and how she had he business since 1998 and didn't need our business but then right after that said "I need this money to keep the doors open you know how it is" like okay it's one or the other not both Marie Trump We had to whiteknuckle it from Sunday night when this happened until the appointment Friday.. but this was absolutely the worst business experience we've ever had.. Like most extremely ADHD persons: Fine marks as a seamstress Low marks as an organized business person

I got referred to Marie from my dress shop in LA. When I met her, she immediately made me feel…read morecomfortable and I knew I was in great hands. I had two dresses for her to alter (my wedding and reception dress), and she kept me in the loop with all the progress she was making. At the end, I felt very happy with her services and I would recommend her to any bride :)! Thank you to Marie for making my fit perfectly into my wedding dress
