I bought my wedding dress at Ferndales and had an amazing experience! Ana was so helpful throughout the process. She had me try on about 6 dresses in my first appointment, and I found a beautiful dress off the rack for sale that was by far my favorite. I also had my alterations done with them where they hemmed, bustled, and switched out the sleeves for me. The dress and alterations cost me about $1500 total (dress itself was on sale), which I thought was a great deal. Ana was helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Scheduling my appointments with them was easy. I was also usually the only one in the dress shop during my appointments. I went to a few other dress shops when I was initially looking at dresses, and I felt like a lot of them were overpriced and harder to talk to. I also loved that I did not have to pay for an appointment to try on dresses! Thank you to Ana and team for everything! I felt like a princess on my wedding day! read more

To say I am happy isn't enough I am so grateful for Ana and the team at Ferndales. Mother of the groom must have tried on 50 dresses before calling them for help. She went the extra effort to find the dress I wanted in time for the wedding and worked with the designer to make it happen. Alterations were perfect and now it's time to see my son get married! Thank you team for everything! read more

I chose Ferndales for my wedding dress because they appeared to be a long-standing, family-owned business. At first, they seemed knowledgeable and helpful, which made me feel confident in my decision. Unfortunately, my experience took a turn when the dress arrived. The initial sizing was significantly off, and while I expected to need some alterations, the extent of the changes required was surprising. Even more disappointing was the quality of the alteration work itself. The dress was first let out and then taken back in, but when it was altered again, noticeable wrinkles appeared due to the underlying lining not being properly adjusted. This created an unflattering look that clearly could have been avoided with more careful work. When I raised concerns, I was told the issue was due to my body, which I found both dismissive and completeluntrue. The entire process became very disheartening. I had loved this dress, but by the end, I felt so frustrated with both the workmanship and the way I was treated that it overshadowed my excitement. I ultimately had to take the dress to another professional and pay additional money to correct the issues. I would not recommend this shop to other brides. The experience was poorly handled from start to finish and, unfortunately, became the most stressful part of my wedding journey. read more

Highly recommend Ferndales Bridal! I went with my friend (the bride), and they made the entire process so easy and stress-free for her from the first appointment to the final touches. Ana was especially kind and patient, and their dress selection is beautiful. They truly go above and beyond! Definitely go here! read more

They are still amazing and I did say yes to the dress! The alterations were amazing and they were so kind! 10/10 I would recommend them . read more

I spent a lot of time researching bridal shops before I went wedding dress shopping. I chose Ferndales because based on the reviews I was hopeful they would have dresses in my size to try on. I couldn't be happier that I chose Ferndales, I had the best experience from start to finish. Unfortunately I don't remember anyone's names, but during my first visit the two women who helped me were so kind and helpful in helping me choose dresses to try on. They helped me find the perfect dress AND within my budget. Honestly I was shocked, I didn't expect to find my dress so quickly and in the first shop I went to. I returned for alterations and at each appointment they made me feel comfortable and beautiful in my dress. I won't need to buy another dress, but will gladly recommend Ferndales to any future brides. read more

To be totally honest, my first impression of this place was not that great LOL. The interior of the shop is rundown looking and could definitely use some updating or renovations, especially the flooring. The changing room is a little room with a curtain, so not very fancy but it does the job LOL. That being said, they have a wide selection of dresses at very reasonable prices. This shop is one of the more budget friendly ones I have been to and the value is hard to beat. Our consultant Ana was very helpful and knowledgeable. We were allowed to browse the dresses on the racks and Ana would pull the ones we selected. My friend (the bride) also showed Ana pictures of dresses she was interested in and Ana did a fantastic job picking dresses that met my friend's criteria. Ana assisted my friend into all the dresses and was able to answer a lot of our questions regarding the dresses and alterations. Ana was funny and genuine, and we all really enjoyed having her as our consultant. When I think of this shop, I think of the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover." While not the prettiest, they have a great selection of wedding dresses and my friend even ended up getting her dress here! If you're a budget conscious bride, I highly recommend checking this shop out. read more

I normally don't write reviews, good or bad, but I told my friend about the experience I had here and she said I needed to write a review so that I could, maybe, save someone from going through the same experience. I thought about giving a 1 star, but given how Connie is just absolutely great and booking appointments with this business is easy and hassle-free, I decided to add another star. So here it is: Consultation: Anna helped me find a very beautiful dress. She let me try on different dresses and gave me input on what suits my body type. I placed an order the same day and paid in full. No complaints. Dress fittings: The dress came and it just wasn't the same fit/feel as the I one I loved. I told Anna about this and her response was "What did you expect? You tried on a size 14." I did not like her response. Had I known that the dress I purchased in a smaller size would look terrible, or had she told me it would look drastically different, then I would've gotten the bigger size and gotten it altered. This began series of dress fitting appointments which required me to drive nearly 4 hours round trip almost every weekend. It was exhausting and all I got was 15 minutes of "okay, it'll be ready next time." I paid for the alterations upfront (bustle, shoulder straps). Yet, next time comes and it's still not done. After, I decided to pay for alterations when I see that it's done (hem). Alterations: On one of the occasions, I brought my sister to see the dress. We were brainstorming to see what we can do to make the dress look better, which includes pulling the dress up a little more. Anna heard this and she grabbed onto my dress, while I was still wearing it, and yanked it so hard up and down (we heard it make ripping or stretching noises) and said that the dress wasn't budging anywhere. I also did not appreciate this. We were upset about how aggressive she was when we were just trying to make the dress work. Ultimately, because the dress wasn't done with hem alterations yet, I just asked them to cancel so that I could take my dress to another seamstress that could help me. In addition to charging me $900 for alterations, they wanted me to pay another $300 to make the fix I wanted m. It was ridiculous and I truly believed I could get it done cheaper elsewhere. But, Connie talked to me, offered me a discount on the alterations, and worked with me the rest of the time. She was sweet and listened to my concerns about the dress, offering her expertise and resolutions. I really appreciated that, although I disliked how Anna would give me attitude every time I walked through the door after that. I get that she may have her own hardships and problems to deal with, but aren't I paying customer that's already funneled a few grands into the family shop? It really made me wish I didn't pay in full to begin with. Overall: I still don't love my dress, but it's better than what I got even if it's not better than what I tried on. Connie is great. I would not recommend this store to any of my friends or people who ask about this store, though. read more

A true hidden gem in the world of bridal. So many of the bridal salons that come up these days are cheap, mass-produced dresses with a fairly fake "hiiiii gorgeous bride!" Vibe that just feels very insincere for a sale. Coming to ferndales was a wonderful experience--amazing selection with experienced veterans in the bridal world who know EXACTLY what you need all with incredibly fair and reasonable prices and in-house alterations. I spent most of my time across two days with Ana, who listened to exactly what I wanted, was real and honest with me, and was truly an expert. I didn't end up buying my dress here but came VERY close. Skip the big shops and add Ferndales to your list if you want great dresses at a great price and great expertise!! read more

**THIS IS A REPOST TO ADD PHOTOS** If you're looking for THE place to purchase a wedding dress, then you need to come to Ferndale's. So, I had a very hard time when it came to searching for my dress. I am a size 8/10, which is fairly average but when I started looking at stores, a lot of the boutiques I went to only had sizes up to 4 and that resulted in me being forced into really snug dresses. It made the whole process very miserable. So while I was in a rut with no idea of where to go and feeling not great about the whole process, my mom mentioned the place where she got her wedding dress at - Ferndales! We made an appointment that weekend and I went in with my mom and dad. Emily greeted us and made us feel so welcome in the store. It's a small store but they certainly fill the racks with tons of options! We pulled so many dresses, definitely more than I think we were really allowed to put for an hour long appointment but Emily wanted to make sure I got the chance to see and try everything. Towards the end, I found a dress I absolutely loved. I was set on it, and was ready to say yes but my dad said to wait and sleep on it. However, I knew this was the dress. I slept on it and waited a few days before calling and asking if I could come in one more time. I went in and knew it was the one. I said yes that day. Fast forward, I am now 5 days away from my wedding on 11/12/23 and I couldn't have made a better decision than getting my dress at Ferndales. All of the girls working here have made the process so smooth and easy. When it came to the alterations, Connie was amazing. She added all the tulle I wanted, she took my recently passed Aunt's ring and sewed it into the bust so I could have a piece of her wife me on the day, she steamed my veil, and she took my faux stole and added another loop so it would sit looser on my shoulders. She also took care of my mom's dress for the wedding and altered it as well! Overall, if you want to get a dress where when you try them on you aren't being suffocated, there's a huge selection of styles, and ultimately the staff becomes more like family, then go to Ferndale's for your wedding needs. I couldn't thank them enough for all their time, effort and hard work. They've truly been such a blessing. 5/29/24 ADD ON- It is now 6 months from my wedding and I still look at photos of myself and love my dress. I never got it dry cleaned and boxed up because it really didn't get that dirty but I also equally love the idea of it being kept as a moment in time from my wedding so it currently lives in its bridal bag hanging in my closet. read more

Anna helped me find my dream wedding dress! I got so many compliments! It was an easy experience with a large selection of dresses.

Went to this place to pick out my wedding dress and I had Great service every time I had to go in this shop for appointments and such. Their dress options are so gorgeous it was hard to choose at first, until I found THE ONE of course! I'm still stunned on how beautiful it was And it fit me PERFECT! size wise! On the first try too. The prices are very reasonable especially compared to the other dress shops I did research on, this one was a life savor. I did make it a 4 star only because I did have to get it hemmed in the front and get bustles put on it BUUUT.... It cost me $560!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like "IM sorry.... WHAT!!!" WTF!!! That's insane. That's almost half the price of the dress itself! I felt it was a total rip off and I would have rather stumbled on it all night then pay that LOL I was so pissed when i left that day. read more

I loveddddd my experience at Ferndales!!! 10/10 would recommend. Anna helped me through the entire process and asked the most amazing questions. She kept eliminating based on the current "dress to beat" and continued to get closer and closer to perfect until eventually we found it. Her process was so impressive and she was so easy to get along with- so real and genuine!! We also CUSTOM made the top to have a cut out from another dress i loved and they were soooo accommodating. Ultimately, i got the most made for me custom dress and i was so so happy with it read more

My daughter found her perfect wedding dress today at Ferndales! Actually, she found two beautiful dresses and then had to pick one! Emily worked with her to find a dress for her style, size, and vision. The salon has a large variety of styles and sizes, including bridesmaids dresses. I was pleasantly surprised that they carried a large selection of Morilee's plus size bridal dress line, Julietta. We already made an appointment here with the bridesmaids-they have a huge selection of Morilee dresses in all the colors. The bridal party is very excited! read more

It was the second one she tried on. Thank you for such a memorable experience. read more

Let me say that it was so easy to make an appointment and try on multiple dresses and it was a great experience. It isn't one of those fancy shops like blush bridal, but at least they let you try on more that 3 dresses during your appointment here. They have an amazing variety of dresses and the staff was amazing. If you're looking for the fancy place, this isn't it. If you're looking for a beautiful dress for a great price and friendly helpful staff, then this is the place. My dress was a dream! read more

I got married in April 2023. I went to two other wedding dress shops until I found my dress at ferndales. The employees were super nice and helpful. They had so many amazing dresses here! It was very difficult to choose just one! I had an amazing experience up until my wedding day. The dress I purchased didn't originally have sleeves. I wanted to add sleeves to cover my arms. My last bridal fitting we noticed that my left sleeve wasn't done. I asked if this was going to be done before my wedding? They said yes that they will have this complete. The day of my wedding comes and my friend picks up my wedding dress. After we do my hair and make up and I'm ready to change into my dress, my friend notices that my left sleeve wasn't done properly. The alterations looked very sloppy. At that point there was nothing I could do so we had to let the dress be. The majority of my wedding photos turned out very nice. I am a little upset, though that some pictures of my back, you can see the sloppy alteration. For the most part, most of my pictures turned out nice but there are some photos I cannot use because you can clearly see that the sleeve was done incorrectly. I definitely recommend to get your dress here but I would suggest getting alteration somewhere else. If you choose to get alterations here I would suggest making sure the dress is 100% the way you want it before walking out the store. We made the mistake by trusting the store to fix the sleeve and picking it up the day of my wedding. read more

Best experience ever!! Ana Paula was so helpful and took her time explaining the different gowns! Also Annie was amazing! I can't say how grateful I am for the experience I had today. I truly was thinking wedding dress shopping just wasn't going to be the best time for me but I was wrong!! They were quick to respond and I had a very private experience! They helped my mom find a dress too!! I can't begin to express how thankful I am for this spot! Family run and they truly give the greatest experience!! Also the price was AMAZING! read more

After having a terrible experience with David's Bridal, I was scouting the internet for a small boutique to try to find a wedding dress. I went in thinking I liked aline dresses that were borderline ball gown and left with a strapless sweetheart mermaid style dress that a absolutely adore!! Ana was my consultant and she gave me all the attention I needed to help find what fit my body the best! Not one question went unanswered, we tried on several beautiful dresses where I almost struggled on choosing one but the way this dress fit me was unbelievable!! I couldn't have been happier. Overall I highly recommend this place to find the dress of your dreams! You will not be disappointed with the services and the girls there have one mission - to find the dress you love. I have my first fitting in June and will update with how the tailoring process goes!! read more

This bridal shop is absolutely amazing. They have a good selection of dresses and their customer service was top notch. I previously had a bad experience a different bridal shop so i was a little anxious about the whole wedding dress shopping experience. The stylist that helped me was so kind and helpful. She let my guests and I take our time browsing dresses and let me try on everything we picked. She was helpful in helping me pick styles that I really loved based on photos that I showed her. When it came time to try on the dresses, she answered all my questions but also stood back and gave me time to consider each one and discuss it with my guests. I cannot stress enough just how patient and friendly the stylist and other staff were as I was making my decision. Although the process of shopping for a dress is very exciting, it is also a little stressful and this place seemed to understand that. I also appreciated how respectful the stylist was towards my guests by listening to their feedback and letting them have input during the process as well. This was not something we received at other shops. After careful deliberation, I ended up purchasing a dress from this shop! It's so beautiful and I cannot wait to wear it on my wedding day! Thank you for such a positive bridal shopping experience! read more

Cannot more highly recommend this bridal shop! I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Anna and all the staff were friendly, helpful and good at their jobs. They take everything seriously and had a level of professionalism I did not experience at other bridal shops. Probably because it is a family owned and operated shop versus more big box stores. Anna KNEW what would look best on me and it was hard to choose from the dresses she pulled - I fell in love with two - Which is a good problem to have! The alterations appointments were quick and I felt heard with what I wanted (train shorted and buttons added to the pockets). Anna also helped me make a head piece from the mother's wedding dress that was personal and meaningful. Ferndale made shopping for a dress SO easy. Cannot recommend them more! read more

So appreciated Ferndales Bridal and the service that they provided me in picking out my wedding dress! I had tried on at a few different places but none of them had the range and selection that Ferndales had. I went based on a recommendation from a coworker who got her dress here, and I was definitely not disappointed. I was welcomed immediately and felt very supported in my decisions, the staff was very knowledgable and cared about my experience. I love supporting a family business and this is definitely the place to go! My dress has everything I love and the Ferndales staff offered a variety of ideas for customization and alterations. Wish this would have been my first stop as it would have saved me a lot of time! read more

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!! I was able to get a same day appointment on a Sunday which is unheard of in bridal. Emily was my consultant and she was so helpful and picked the most amazing dresses for me to choose from. And she's the queen of 'clipping' the dress so you can see how it will fit after alterations. I was so fortunate to find the PERFECT brand new designer dress in my size. Ferndale's is also a family owned business so that's an added bonus for me. This place is a must for all brides. read more

I wish I had come to this bridal salon first. I found a dress at another store on Chapman, but needed some customization to make it a bit more modest (it was mostly mesh and beading). Long story short, it arrived and is nothing like what I requested and paid for. Still waiting for them to resolve the matter. Anyways, I came to Ferndale's to check if they had any dresses that could be delivered within two months. Ferndale's had such a better variety of dresses, good prices, and my consultant was wonderful. I mostly appreciated how she trusted that I knew how to put a dress on carefully and didn't insist on being in the changing room with me. Also, Ferndale's offers in house alterations. The other store did not. I've learned that this is a HUGE plus. Then Connie (?) came and sat down with me to explain the process of adding sleeves. She didn't talk down to me, and took a lot of time measuring me correctly and writing down every detail. I felt very safe in their hands. I found a beautiful dress, but I can't do anything until the other store resolves my issue. Overall, Ferndale's gets a 10/10 from me. read more

Ferndales Bridal really came through for me in such a short amount of time. After countless dead ends calling other bridal shops that didn't want to even try to work with me (since I'm plus size), I had spoke with Connie's husband (Tom, over the phone) regarding a specific dress I wanted. They had the dress but unfortunately not in my size. However, he went above and beyond to help me order the dress in my size and had it rush shipped in time for my Elopement in October! I had multiple visits to Ferndales to get fitted, get a visual idea of how my dress will look by trying on similar dresses and also to have my dress altered. Connie, Ana, and the rest of the team were just so friendly and understanding in helping me be wedding ready before my elopement day. They even suggested a lingerie shop not to far down the street, to have the proper bra to really fill out my dress. I can't thank them enough! I would definitely recommend them and hope to wear my dress again in the future! read more

I felt for this bridal shop as well as all other vendors who were affected by the current pandemic. After trying out a few dresses at their shop, I found a dress what I thought looked best with my figure. They ordered a size 16. Unfortunately, I gained a lot of weight during this terrible crisis, and 16 no longer fit. I was sad to hear that the designer did not have larger sizes. As you can imagine, I was devastated not only because the dress I chose didn't fit, but I now had to try on a Size 20! I cried and wanted to cancel the purchase of the dress and request refund, but this bridal shop does not refund after the dress was ordered. I understand everyone is struggling financially, but the store owner stating they already had a sample of the dress that I tried on so I was I felt I had no choice but to try and find another dress in my price range of $1100 and my new size. Ana, owner daughter and part of bridal staff, was able to find another dress in their shop which was beautiful, full of bling and sparkle, but it was $1000 more, figured it would! So I felt I was forced to but a more expensive dress. I was quite upset. However, Connie, the owner gave me a great discount on the dress, but it still ended up being more than I wanted to spend on a dress. I wish Despite my personal challenges, everyone was great, helpful and I was glad they all wore masks! Thank you. read more

I said yes to my dress here! I love this little gem of a bridal store! I had called around to several bridal stores to check if they had a specific dress I've been looking at because I would like to try it on and it seems like no one had this (but could be ordered). However when I called Ferndale's, they told me they would call to see if they can borrow one. On my appointment day, they had the dress! I was able to try on many amazing styles and all were beautiful but the one I had in mind turned out to be the one that I chose! Ferndales made my wedding dress dreams come true! They went above and beyond so I was able to try the dress on! This is amazing service and of course I placed my order! Thank you Ferndale's and Ana who assisted me! read more

This was the third bridal store I went to and I felt pressured to get a dress at the previous stores. However, at Ferndales, I did not feel rushed and felt so comfortable. I told them the dress and designer I was looking for and they pulled one dress and it was THE ONE! I did try on others but kept going back to the first one. I ended up customizing the train to become detachable and they turned it into my DREAM DRESS! They were all so nice and made the process so personal and amazing! I highly recommend trying out Ferndales! read more

I had the best experience from start to finish at Ferndales Bridal! I had a not-so-great experience at other bridal stores and was worried find somewhere that I would be able to find a dress that fit within 8 weeks. Not only did the store have lots of options that were available within my time frame, the dress that I chose came in with a few weeks to spare. I am truly grateful and would definitely recommend Ferndales Bridal to any bride and family looking for a positive dress shopping experience! read more

I'm a bride from out of town and flew in for work. To be honest, I was skeptic of Ferndales before I walked into the store because I'm a fan of chain stores just to be sure they have a wide selection of dresses. When I walked in, we were assisted by Emily. As we started to browse through the dresses, we saw a couple of excellent selections. Emily really understood what I wanted and continued to revise the dresses she pulls out for me based on my reaction to the previous dresses. She was respectful of the budget and didn't try to upsell. She was worried since my wedding date is close, alterations may not be possible and I will need to get something off the rack and that was honestly ideal for me. Less alterations the better! All I have to say is EMILY WAS GREAT, HER MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WERE GREAT and I couldn't have had a better experience buying my dress. I think I tried on more than 15 dresses from them and Emily was like a magician just pulling dresses from somewhere I didn't see on the rack and her mother and daughter would assist us while she does that. I would leave 10 out of 10 stars if I could for this family business. Also, dresses were beautiful! read more

I absolutely recommend Ferndales Bridal. In search of the perfect dress, I made an appointment and really hoped I would find something. The team was incredibly helpful by bringing me lots of options, never made us feel rushed and answered all of my questions about alterations. ALL of their dresses require an order to be placed with the designer, so if you are looking for something same day, this won't be your best option. But, if you are looking for a great selection of gorgeous designer dresses, exceptional service and really great prices - this is your place. Even with these high gas prices, I drove 45 minutes each direction and would do it all over again. I'm so excited to have found my dress! Thank you ladies! read more
