I found my wedding dress at J'aime Bridal for our June 2026 wedding, and the whole team made the…read moreexperience easy and special from start to finish. I shopped with my mom, my mother-in-law, and my matron of honor, and the owner, Jaime, was my consultant and helped me find the one at their Stella York designer preview event. J'aime was one of a few stores chosen to show gowns before their release. I fell in love with a dress most brides hadn't seen yet. It's a sparkly A-line tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline and delicate floral lace, and I ordered it in all ivory. We added beaded straps from the shop to make it feel even more like me, and I found my veil there too. When I was shopping for a jacket, they confirmed my dress's exact shade the same evening. When I developed a metal allergy before the wedding, Cortney even texted me photos of their earring options to help me check what might work. My favorite example of their customer service was my veil. After my hair trial, I realized the comb was too wide for my hairstyle. Veils are normally final sale, but Jaime put me in touch with their in-house seamstress and she installed a smaller comb on it for me. After the wedding, I had my gown cleaned and preserved through them. They work with Wedding Gown Preservation Co., and since I bought my dress at J'aime, I got a discount. It was cheaper than booking with Wedding Gown Preservation Co. directly, and cheaper than a quote I got from another preservation company. I highly recommend J'aime Bridal to any bride looking for a warm, helpful team that truly takes care of you!

They like to have a grand wedding with lots of guests. We start looking at dresses and plan for all the other details for the wedding. My family booked the appointment on line . She honestly put done 2028 as the future wedding date. A $25 fee was required to come look at the wedding gowns . Then an older lady staff called her back . She sounded very upset that she wedding would be in 2028 and not this year . She told her that " if you don't have money to pay for the dress , you could bring cash to tip your stylist! You are not buying a wedding gown now , I don't know what to do with you ! " She was so rude over the phone . My family member is a licensed health care professional. She was just in shock. Since she has paid the $25 on line for the 1.5 hour appointment, we showed up at Janine bridal today at 10 am on a Saturday morning . We arrived 3 minutes before 10 am . Two Caucasian ladies walked in ahead of us. There were two older female staffs inside . One with blonde hair and the other taller lady staff has dark brown hair . The blonde hair lady looked at us , did not smile, did not say welcome to Jaime bridal , or good morning. They helped the two Caucasian ladies ahead of us . The front counter was left with a younger Asian female staff . Her name is Christina. She worked part time there and she was our stylist for this appointment . Christina is very sweet , patient and helpful. After she knew that was our first time looking at the wedding gowns, she gave us a 5 minutes introduction of the gowns and the basis set up of the bridal shop . Then we looked around and pulled 6 dresses to try . Christian helped to fix each gown and made suggestions like how to tailor it to make it look nicer on the bride -to- be . After one hour of try and error , we narrowed down to two wedding gowns that we love . Christina wrote done all the details , gave us a small card for the information. Then she mentioned the trunk show coming up at the end of January 2026 . But we are obligated to buy a wedding gown if we attend the trunk show . Today is January 3, 2026 Saturday. We would have a bad experience about Jaime Bridal from the way the other lady talked to my family member with the bitchy attitudes. Thanks to Christian , these have all changed . Customer service is the primary focus on retailer business . I am not sure how this could have been misinterpreted.

We visited Blossoms, where we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were assisted by Tessa, who was absolutely amazing. She helped us explore several beautiful options and guided us through the process with patience, professionalism, and great attention to detail. We narrowed it down to two final dresses and ultimately chose the one that perfectly matched the color of my son's tuxedo. We also had the pleasure of meeting Katie, the manager, who took the time to speak with us, reaffirm our choice, and help us confidently seal the deal. Her kindness and expertise truly added to the experience. I sincerely appreciate the excellent customer service and the beautiful selection of dresses. This experience made an already special occasion even more memorable. We will definitely be back for my daughter's future special events

DO NOT GET YOUR WEDDING DRESS ALTERATIONS DONE HERE!!!…read more I purchased my dress at Blossom's and decided to also have my alterations done there because, why not? It's a bridal store, and I trusted that I was leaving my wedding dress with professionals. Unfortunately, they made my dress worse than when I first received it. The delicate threading was damaged, the lace was uneven, the sleeves did not match, and the front of my dress was left crooked and poorly done. I pointed out issues during my fittings and asked for them to be corrected, only to come back and find that they still had not been properly fixed. I ended up having to take my wedding dress to another alterations professional just weeks before my wedding and pay over $500 to repair the damage and fix the alterations that were done here. The second alterations professional had to correct problems that should never have happened in the first place. What makes the situation even worse is the lack of accountability afterward. I was told that the person who altered my dress is an independent contractor. However, she performs alterations inside their store and is the person they provide to customers for alterations. The owner had already sent me a photo of my alteration invoice showing the different alterations that were done to my dress. Later, she told me that according to their records, the only alterations performed were inserting the bra cups and repairing the zipper, and that only $35 could be refunded. However, the invoice she had already sent me clearly showed the additional alterations I had been explaining. Being told something completely different from what was shown on the invoice she personally sent me was extremely concerning and felt dishonest. I was also told that because I took my dress somewhere else to have it fixed before the owner could personally inspect it on me, they could not take responsibility. My wedding was approaching. I was not going to leave my wedding dress damaged just so they could inspect it first. I had already given them opportunities during my fittings to fix the problems, and they were not corrected. Even if only the bra cups and zipper had been altered, how did other parts of my dress that supposedly were not being worked on end up damaged? I asked for a full refund of $550. The owner said she could not give me a refund because of store policy and because the tailor was an independent contractor. She then offered me $200 from her "own pocket" privately, which I found extremely unprofessional considering I paid the store directly for the alterations. I was also told that accepting the $200 would require me to remove my review. I declined to remove my review and continued requesting the full refund. In the end, the full refund was refused, and the $200 offer was also withdrawn after I would not remove my review. This was my wedding dress not an everyday piece of clothing. Having to find someone else at the last minute and spend hundreds of dollars fixing damage caused during alterations was stressful, expensive, and completely unacceptable. The way this situation was handled afterward, especially being given information that contradicted the invoice I had already been sent, felt dishonest and showed a complete lack of accountability. Below are photos of the damage to my dress, along with the invoice showing the alterations that were done. Brides, please be extremely careful before trusting your wedding dress alterations here.

I had a great experience at the Janene's showroom in San Francisco. They have a huge selection of…read moredresses in a variety of styles. I was looking for something a little unusual, and at other stores I had struggled to try dresses in line with what I was looking for. It's a beautiful store in a convenient location, and I would highly recommend it. My stylist was very helpful and I loved working with her! (Shoutout to Renee!) That being said, I wouldn't recommend the tailoring at Janene's in Alameda. The first issue I encountered was that my dress wasn't delivered from the San Francisco store to the Alameda store in time for my first tailoring appointment, despite there being about 10 days to do so. The more concerning issue was that the stylist and tailor I worked with in Alameda didn't take my concerns about fit and comfort seriously, and seemed more interested in doing what they felt was best. My dress wound up being ill-fitting and uncomfortable in the torso and shoulders. What added further insult to injury was that the last stylist I worked with when I picked up my dress insisted that it wasn't that bad, and that all wedding dresses are similarly uncomfortable. There were a few issues with how the fabric was lying that I was assured could be fixed with fashion tape; when it came to the day of the wedding, fashion tape was completely ineffective. For all that, the alterations also cost more than my wedding dress. I've been effusive in my praise for Janene's as a place to buy a wedding dress; one of my friends has already bought a dress there! I have been similarly dispassionate about the tailoring services.

The materials are usually satin , organza or layers of tulle to maintain a grand , floating shape . This place is popular. A appointment is a must . They charged $55 for one hour of trying on 10 gowns with a stylist . It may run over time a little bit but they did not charge us more . Each bride to be and friends got their own changing room and full body mirror , sofa to sit and wait . They serve you ice water with no charge and a menu to order latter and other drinks for a fee . Our personal stylist is Tiffany . She is great . Very patient and helpful to help the bride to come to the conclusion of what type of wedding gowns she actually likes the most . It was an elimination process . We started with 10 gowns and went down to the top two at the end . The prices vary depending on the materials. It ranges about $2000 to $6000 . Veil And alternation fee are extra . It takes 6 months to order a wedding gown if your choice. Then two months before your wedding day they would made smaller adjustments and alterations to fit you perfectly. This is a pleasant experience and highly recommended to come to this bridal boutique.

I visited Garnet and Grace over the weekend after it was suggested to me by my cousin/bridesmaid…read more She had an amazing experience and thought it would be a great fit for me too! I was helped by Veronica who was so detailed and caring throughout the whole process! She sat me down and asked me what I'm looking for in a dress and what wedding vibe I'm going for. She took all my concerns and ran with it, pulling out all the dresses that fit my criteria and some even outside of what I was looking for to add some variety to the mix. I'm still in shock that the first dress she chose/I tried on ended up being THE ONE. She also knew how much I loved the idea of sleeves and she took the time to find some so I could see my vision with the dress and it worked! I ended up walking out with the dress that same day! I had attended a dress try-on at a boutique prior and had been quoted a ridiculous price. At Garnet and Grace I found an even better dress for a fraction of what it would have cost me at the boutique! I 100% recommend Garnet and Grace for all of your bridal attire needs - even the associate that helped me purchase the dress said that they do everything but sell shoes, which is awesome! I love that now I have a one-stop shop for all things wedding dress related. Everyone is so sweet and supportive I can't recommend them enough!

I chose Garnet + Grace Bridal Boutique because it was easy to make an appointment online, and they…read morewere very upfront about their dresses being under $2,000. I can happily say that was absolutely true. Nothing I saw was above that price point. Going into wedding dress shopping, having a realistic budget was really important to me. I did not want to fall in love with a dress that was completely out of my price range. The shop itself was also clean, organized, and welcoming. When I first heard "off the rack," I worried I would be looking through outdated or out of style dresses, but there were plenty of beautiful and current styles to choose from. When I arrived, Veronica greeted me right away and took the time to understand why I was there and what I was looking for. As someone who can be very picky, it was important to me that she understood that I know what I like and what I do not like. She truly listened. She never questioned my preferences or tried to steer me in a different direction, which was something I experienced at other bridal shops. I really appreciated that. She gave me plenty of time and space to browse the racks on my own, and there was no limit on how many dresses I could pull. That was another huge plus since many boutiques limit how many dresses you can try on. Veronica would occasionally pull a dress and ask if it was something I might like, and I always felt comfortable giving an honest yes or no. Again, she respected my opinions and never made me feel pressured. Once I was ready to start trying dresses on, Veronica made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. She gave me the time I needed to really look at each gown and think about how I felt in it. I never felt rushed. She gave me space to process my thoughts but also knew exactly when to offer her input. She even gave me time to FaceTime my loved ones since they were not able to attend the appointment with me, which meant a lot. I tried on a variety of styles and somehow ended up finding the one! When I stepped out in my dress, all of the ladies working there (especially Shayna) were incredibly encouraging and genuinely excited for me. They made me feel beautiful and confident, and when they told me the dress looked like it was made for me, I could tell they truly meant it. Their excitement was contagious and made the moment feel even more special. Overall, I had such a lovely experience and am so happy I found my wedding dress at Garnet + Grace Bridal Boutique, especially with my wedding only two months away. A huge thank you to Veronica and the entire team for making such an important milestone feel fun, comfortable, and memorable. I would absolutely recommend Garnet + Grace Bridal Boutique to any future bride in the Bay Area, especially those working with a short timeline and a budget.

Joanna is a master of her craft and extremely personable. She worked on all the tailoring for my…read morewedding dress and did an amazing job. Although the existing designs on the dress were extremely complex, she made it look as if they'd never been touched at all! I'd also wanted to add a train, bustles, and off-shoulder sleeves, and she was able to add them all beautifully. She did such an amazing job with the bustles that many guests thought I had simply cut the train off during the reception! I found her very easy to work with -- she had insightful suggestions without being pushy and was very willing to work with what I wanted. She helped me decide on a beautiful veil to go with the dress, and she was patient with teaching my mom how to get the dress on me and how to button the bustles. I was also extremely grateful that she was so accommodating with my unusual schedule. I was often on the east coast for work, but she was able to squeeze everything she needed to do with me into two in-person sessions, and the dress fit perfectly on the day-of! I received many compliments from family and friends and had a wonderful time, and none of it would have been possible without Joanna's beautiful work. Thank you so much, Joanna!

Dont go here if your a plus sized bride, the judgment starts as soon as you walk through the doors!…read more I as the bride and my bridal party made an appointment to go here seeking "the dress" for me and give the girls a chance to look around to see if she had anything for them as a bridesmaid choice, in the meantime I pulled up the picture of the chosen dress she had on her website, it was sold and I was told I was too large for the dress anyways, she ran around and brought me 3 dresses of HER choice ignoring not only my requests but the options of what my girls where showing me & her, still telling them Im to "large" to fit in the dresses and IF I wanted that dress they would have to alter it and it would be too expensive. I had an awful experience as well as my family and friends, she was rude to everyone. In the end I felt self conscious of how I looked, because she basically called me fat the entire time I was working with her, even my daughter chimed up and told her I was planning a surgery soon and my weight wouldn't be that much of an issue, Joanne didnt listen. Everyone was upset, mad, angry and insulted by the time we left. Not worth it unless you want to be judged by someone who apparently doesnt like her job especially if she has to alter or change anything on the dresses she has to offer.

This was my first bridal shop. I looked through all of the dresses available and picked out a couple that I liked. There is a lot of variety here- from big poofy dresses to long tighter dresses and everything in between. Each one of the dresses are very beautiful and elegant. I fell in love with the first dress that I tried on, but wanted straps on them (it was a strapless dress). Jessica said that she can alter the dress to sew straps on for me, but suggested that I try on a couple other dresses just in case I liked those more. I did and it made me love the first dress even more! Jessica made me feel comfortable and was very accommodating. She did not rush me and allowed me to take all the time that I needed with every dress that I tried on. I've heard stories from friends that took up to a year to find the one. I am so lucky that I was able to find a rental that I love so quickly. I had to come back prior to picking up before the big day because my mom wanted me to wear something that did not show my tattoos and Jessica was able to still make it work for me in the same dress that I fell in love with! JC Bridal Boutique is definitely a gem!! Thank you Jessica!
