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!!

She truly listened to what I wanted (and what I didn't), and was attentive, kind, and so knowledgeable every step of the way. She made everything feel special and completely stress-free. The dresses are also surprisingly affordable, especially considering the beautiful detail in each one. I highly recommend this place to any bride searching for her dream dress. Huge thank you to Jaden, you're amazing!

Today I said yes to my wedding dress, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience thanks to…read moreMaddie! I came in alone and was a little nervous, but from the moment I walked in, Maddie made me feel completely welcome, accepted, and at ease. She was patient, kind, encouraging, and stayed by my side throughout the entire experience. By the end, it truly felt like I had come shopping with a friend instead of by myself. She helped me find the perfect dress, and I was so grateful to get an incredible deal. Knowing that my purchase was also supporting a good cause made the experience even more meaningful. Thank you, Maddie, for making such a special milestone in my life one I'll never forget. Your kindness and compassion meant more than you know. God bless you, and thank you for helping make my wedding dress shopping experience so beautiful!

Loved the store and the worker babes are fabulous! Two things I did not like though;…read more1; I felt very rushed because the appointments were only an hour long, and I did have to ask for an extra 30 minutes. I think the appointment time should be two hours long, I only got to shop for dresses once and the rest of the time my mom and my MOH just kept bringing me dresses. It was a very rushed process and it was very busy and I don't feel like the dressing rooms. Are that big and should definitely be bigger. Also, there were two men in the dressing room when I first got there and was trying on dresses and one guy was standing right across from my dressing room, and I felt very uncomfortable with him standing there as I was half naked behind the curtain and my girls kept bringing me dresses in and out so obviously the curtain had to be opened a lot, and it was just very nerve-racking that a guy was in there. The men need to stay away, including Dad's! Just my opinion. If a guy wants to come with his bride to pick dresses like this guy seem to be then they need to like stay inside the dressing room with her not be out in the middle of the whole dressing area. Other than that, I will say they had a lot of options to choose from lots of different styles lots of different sizes and I definitely found my dress, but I still felt rushed and kind of wish. I didn't rush so much and had a chance to look at more.

I can't recommend Winsome Brides enough, both for second-hand dress shopping and for alterations! I…read morefound a beautiful and affordable tea-length dress here that I used for my civil ceremony and rehearsal dinner. When it came time to get alterations for my wedding dress done, I was really stressed about finding the right place to go. I decided to use Winsome, and I am SO glad I did. Yilo executed the alterations flawlessly (bringing in the bust, adding tulle sleeves, and adding a bustle that caused the dress to drape beautifully). And I found the price to be very reasonable in comparison to other quotes I received. We're lucky to have this shop in San Diego!

The dresses they receive are either from other bridal stores, sample sales, or on consignment, so the prices were super reasonable. I brought along two people and they were comfortably situated while I tried on dresses. I went through the racks and Trinity helped pill out the ones I was interested in, and then helped swap them out in the dressing room so that it wouldn't be too overwhelming. Free parking lot available and they do alterations too!

The staff were responsive when I reached out and helped me order the dress in my size after I shared my measurements and compared it to the designer's size chart. They submitted the order on my behalf and shipped the dress directly to me. Although I never physically stepped foot in this store, I am so happy with the service I received from the Dress Theory team in San Diego. They helped me get the dress I truly wanted for my wedding and would highly recommend them if they carry the styles you are looking for.

My assistant was Lalita and she was super sweet, friendly, and took great care of me! The appointment started off with questions about the dress details/inspo pics and then she asked my guests to describe me in a few words. She then went around the boutique and hand picked styles for what she felt would match me well and match the style I was looking for. She did so well that I was torn between 3 dresses! I feel like she read me so well and understood what I was looking for. She even applied a lot of discounts so the dress ended up being a lot cheaper than I had anticipated. Overall super happy with my experience and will be recommending this place to others!

I came to Del Mar to visit family and they insisted I visit the bustle. Yea right, I thought. Like some tiny store will have anything new. First, it's got a huge inventory. Second, they had designers I had never even heard of before. Tam was wonderful. He was so patient and has a wonderful eye for styling. I found and bought my dress there and can't believe I almost gave up and bought a dress I wasn't one hundred percent sure about. If you're a San Diego bride, this is definitely the store to try.

The store is stunning! Loved everything about this location! Felt like a dream walking in here.

Also, plenty of meter street parking right nearby the store!

A few…read moredays before my appointment, someone from the team called to ask about my style and which dresses I liked, which was appreciated. 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. Overall, such an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend Grace Loves Lace!

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

**LIE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING DATE OR JUST DO NOT COME HERE FOR ALTERATIONS AT ALL**…read more I don't even know how this shop is still in business. They have beautiful dresses and then they suck you in to have alterations done here, then don't have your dress ready by your wedding date or they cut it very close. If you're going to go all the way with buying your dress and getting it altered here, LIE about your wedding date and tell them your wedding is 2-3 weeks before the actual wedding date. It's the only way to hopefully ensure you'll receive your dress back in time. Trust me. You'll thank me later.
