    Kora Brides has a large collection of gorgeous wedding dresses!
    Tiffany P.

    When my bestfriend started hunting for her wedding dress, Kora was our first stop. Understandingly so, the bride was nervous, yet Stephanie kept the mood light and fun! Stephanie brought out gorgeous wedding dresses and veils to try on, all tailored to the bride's budget and style preferences. I appreciate how warm, patient, and insightful Stephanie was throughout our appointment! Although the bride did not say yes to the dress here, I really wanted to give a shoutout to Stephanie for creating a wonderful first experience. I highly recommend future brides to visit Kora Brides to find their wedding dress!

    Stop your search for a wedding dress shop. You've come to the right place. Personal customer service? Check. Sweet, loving, and personable staff? Check. Beautiful array of wedding dress styles? Check. House seamstress that even does custom pieces and attire? Check. My adventure to find a wedding dress started in late 2019. After visiting 5 or so stores from Yelp, I scheduled an appointment with Stephanie. I showed her my likes/dislikes, wants/needs and then I came to the ultimate decision...I said yes to the dress at Kora Brides. Flash forward - the pandemic hit. Shipments and deliveries were delayed across the economy. We postponed our wedding to 2021. I reached out to Stephanie early 2021 and it felt like we never paused. I came in for alterations a few months before the wedding and had the opportunity to meet their new in-house seamstress, Cecilia. I've never met a lady with the beading skills and customization like her. In addition to the wedding dress, I inquired about a customized top piece to go with white pants for the after party and they delivered. Cecilia brought various fabrics, beadings, materials, colors and we had a blast cooking up a one-of-a-kind, custom-made, beautiful corset top. Stephanie, Cecilia, and staff were so personable and friendly during the whole 2 year process. I'm just sad my visits are no more but I am beyond happy that I found Kora Brides :)

    Highly recommend this bridal boutique! Staff was extremely friendly and professional. I never felt rushed trying on different dresses, and the entire process from ordering to pickup went seamlessly. They also have an in house seamstress who can alter your dress once it arrives. Thank you Kora Brides and Stephanie!

    wow wow wow...what a beautiful bridal experience we had here. Stephanie was beyond phenomenal, she really gives you time to take in each dress and show you options on how to wear it after the ceremony and everything. also being the only bridal party in the boutique was just the cherry on top...having my sister be the center of attention not being rushed really made the experience. anyone looking for beautiful dresses and a one on one experience LOOK NO FURTHER! kora brides thank you again for this day

    I said Yes!

    If I could give more stars, I would! Stephanie was amazing! Each dress I tried on, she helped make it feel like me. I brought my mom, future mother in law and future sister in law and we all had such a blast! Within no time, I said yes to the dress! ...and yes, it has pockets! Thank you for helping me find my dream dress!

    I checked out at least 8 other bridal shops before Kora Brides and I wish I had started here because it was by far the best experience I've had (and I found my dress here!). Kora Brides is a smaller boutique so I thought I wouldn't find anything but they actually had some of the prettiest gowns and you get a very personal experience. Stephanie is the best - very friendly and helpful throughout the entire process! Even before my first appointment, she answered a bunch of questions I had via email. When I came for my first visit, she recommended several dresses that fit what I was looking for and I was also able to pick any I wanted to try on. I love that Stephanie always provides her honest opinion and feedback. She really went above and beyond to help me figure out what worked for me - different veils, different skirt colors, corsets, etc. They have an in house seamstress that can alter your dress once it arrives which makes things so easy! Highly recommend Kora Brides and Stephanie!

    Absolutely amazing experience at Kora Brides! The selection of beautiful and quality made gowns, the affordable pricing, and the top-tier customer service! What more could you ask for?! STOP your search here, because I sure did! 10/10 would recommend! My fiancé and I got engaged early this year and had a small intimate court ceremony because we are both Covid ICU nurses fighting on the frontlines at our respective hospitals. But a part of me still wished we were able to have the wedding we always talked about. After much consideration, we decided we wanted to have a formal wedding with our loved ones in 2022. My maid of honor found Kora Brides on her search and was the 2nd shop out of 5 on our list to visit that day. Walking into the store, I was immediately comfortable with the intimate space and the beautiful array of gowns in front of me. I was so pleased with how attentive Stephanie was to me and my wedding party. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and listened to all of our concerns during the process. Buying a wedding gown is a nerve-wracking process, and I was already overwhelmed with the choices in front of me. I honestly did not think I was going to find my wedding dress that day, but Stephanie helped make it happen, and I am immensely grateful for her patience and expertise as I tried on countless dresses! The second I saw myself in that dress, I was overcome with emotion. I couldn't believe it; I'm a Bride! With tears threatening to cascade down my face, Stephanie put the veil on my head, handed me the bouquet, and it was game over. I knew at that moment; I was going to regret walking out of the store without this dress. I was able to squeak out an emotional, "Yes!" to the dress! For the first time in nearly 2 years, my fiancé and I will be able to celebrate our union. Some things are worth waiting for =) Thank you to Kora Brides and Stephanie for helping me find the wedding dress of my dreams! I will be sure to recommend Kora Brides to all the future brides!!

    Kora Brides was the final stop of my wedding gown search. I said "YES TO THE DRESS" here!! I found this cute little boutique after browsing on Yelp. I immediately called to schedule a bridal appointment. I was in love with this bridal shop as soon as I walked in. The decor is simple and modern. I met with Stephanie (owner) who was so sweet and knowledgeable. At this point, I knew the style that best suits my body type. I was looking for a fit and fare with lace design. I am not big on strapless so I chose a modest illusion neckline. She pulled several dresses for me to try on. There was a trunk show going on so the first dress I tried was by Eddy K, an Italian designer. I knew it was the one because when my mom saw the dress, she was teary eyed. Thank goodness, that was the ONE for me. The fitting room is so cute with a full length French style mirror. It makes you feel all elegant being there. Stephanie is so good at helping you choose your accessories as well. She advised me to go with a fingertip blusher veil which complimented my gorgeous train. I also purchased a Swarvoski hair vine from here. My bridal shopping experience was stellar from the first appointment to the final fitting. The seamstress is amazing. My dress was perfectly altered down to each lace detail. The bustle was so pretty. I would absolutely recommend Kora Brides to any bride to be. Thank you for everything! Love the new Mrs.

    I Said Yes!!!!

    AMAZING just simply AMAZING!!!! Kora Brides is the 1st bridal store I went to and it did not disappoint. I would totally recommend Kora Brides to any future brides!!!! The wedding dresses/gowns they have are breathtaking. With the many styles to choose from, top notch quality of the gowns and affordable pricing, where else can you find that? Only at KORAS BRIDES that's where. Usually I get nervous going into new places but when I walked into Koras, I felt very comfortable and took that as a good sign. It did help that there is a cute backdrop and array of beautiful gowns in front of me. Then in walks Stephanie, I felt like she became my fairy godmother during the wedding dress appointment. Stephanie is amazing at what she does. She was really attentive to not only me but to my guest as well. I told her that I am a mama girl and I need my mom's approval for me to say yes to the dress. The first dress she had me try on, I thought OMG I am a bride and I felt amazing in it. But when she showed me another and helped me try on more dresses, it got so much harder to pick one I liked the most. I do not know how Stephanie does it, but on the last dress she had me try, I fell in LOVE with it. Better yet Stephanie found the dress my mom and I love. Once I said yes to the dress, I did not need to go to any store after because I found it here at Koras Brides. It was first and only store I went to. To be honest I thought I would not be able to find a dress in one store or even less than a day because I tend to overthink a lot and become overwhelmed. With the help of Stephanie, she made the process smooth and clear of worries. I still keep looking at pictures of me trying on the wedding dress and I am still in love with it and I have no buyer's remorse. I really LOVE my dress and I cannot wait to wear it for my wedding. Thank you Stephanie for being so patient and understanding with me. Thank you for helping me find my dream wedding gown. I just can't thank her enough. Also thanks to Koras Brides for carrying my dream gown. Thank you.

    Stephanie is amazing! I found the perfect dress for my wedding! Kora has so many variety of dresses and Stephanie made the process so easy and enjoyable! Would definitely recommend kora brides!!

    I may be a taaad late since I came here two years ago for my dress, but I was recommending Kora to a recently-engaged friend and thought it would be nice to write a review! After spending hours in other shops (BHLDN, a place in LA Ktown that wasn't bad, SimplyBridal/Panache), Kora felt like heaven. Maybe it was the A/C, the clean design, the individual 90-minute appointments without other people seeing you partially nekked, but it was just perfect. I came with my MOH first, then my mom, and both times were such a quiet, enjoyable experience (minus the fact that my mom wanted me to wear a different dress, but oh well, not her wedding). Stephanie was extremely kind and helpful, and gave such great recommendations based on my budget and the kind of dress I was looking for. For someone as indecisive and awkward about trying on stuff as I am, her suggestions were on point. It's a far drive from West LA, where I live, but **totally worth it**. She gave great recommendations on where to get my husband's tux, my shoes, as well as a makeup artist who I loved. Veil, hairpiece, and garter were all included/rentable. Plenty of lot parking right in front of the store--just enter off Baker!

She even pulled dresses I wouldn't have chosen myself, one of which became my dress. The hospitality, including sparkling wine and a beautiful try-on space, made it a truly special experience. Unfortunately, my presentation appointment this past weekend was very different. I invited my maid of honor and future mother-in-law since it was just my mom and I during my initial dress shopping appointment. I expected a similar, celebratory moment, but it felt more like a quick errand. We were placed in a small back room, the appointment felt rushed, and there was little of the hospitality I experienced before. The biggest issue was trying on my dress. It didn't fit, which was stressful and disappointing, but obviously no one's fault. That said, I wish the staff had taken a more discreet and thoughtful approach, like adjusting or clipping the dress before bringing my guests in. Instead, my guests were brought in while the dress was visibly unfastened, and the conversation focused on fit issues. I was also asked about my weight in front of everyone, which felt uncomfortable and could have been handled more privately. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially compared to such a strong first impression. I still love my dress and hope this was just a one-off, and that the alterations process will be more positive. I'd just recommend managing expectations and not treating the presentation appointment as a special occasion for guests.

My wedding was scheduled for September 2024 abroad, and I was genuinely excited to visit Panache based on a recommendation from a trusted source. My dress was designed by Estee Couture, and I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I received on all ends. I left the store feeling more stressed than happy, and even on the final day of my fitting, I had unresolved issues. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to accept the situation as my flight was just two days after my last fitting. My measurements were taken, and I expressed my concerns, but I found myself having to follow up repeatedly for updates. I would text and call my assistant, Kiersten, only to receive vague reassurances, yet it became clear that nothing had been communicated to the designer or seamstress when I asked them myself in person. The custom sleeves I had ordered did not hold up on my wedding day; they completely snapped and fell off during cocktail hour. Additionally, the gathered fabric at the front of the dress was not addressed by the designer. Although the seamstress, Meryl, made an effort to fix the situation, her options were limited, and the issue remained unresolved. She informed me that the designer was aware of the problem, but no action was taken. I am dissatisfied with both Estee, the designer, and the service I received at Panache. Considering the investment made at panache I would expect better service, communication, and attention to details. Despite any internal challenges they may have faced, the staff did not fulfill their responsibilities or deliver the expected results. I will add that I spoke with multiple managers regarding my concerns, (Pasadena location too) and while I appreciate that we ultimately came to a solution where the dress will be cleaned and preserved on their behalf, it doesn't change the fact that the dress itself was not in the condition it should have been.

Unfortunately, one of the dress straps broke just 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, which was incredibly stressful and disappointing on such an important day. Additionally, I ordered my veil through the boutique and had scheduled an appointment for alterations and veil pickup. However, there appeared to be a miscommunication regarding the pickup, as it was not properly noted and the veil was nearly shipped instead. I had also specifically asked to try on dresses with sleeves during my appointment and was never brought a single option. Overall, this was not the experience I had hoped for from a bridal boutique of this caliber. ***** My wedding was over two hours away from the store, and waiting for your seamstress would have meant missing my ceremony. When paying a premium price, brides should not have to deal with last-minute issues like a dress strap coming apart minutes before walking down the aisle. Thankfully, one of my bridesmaids was able to sew the strap so I could still wear my dress. Regarding the veil, I specifically called after being notified it had arrived to explain that I had an alterations appointment and wanted to pick it up then, which your team confirmed. I later received communication referencing shipment, so I had to follow up again by phone and email to make sure it would not be shipped. Had it been sent out, I would not have had my veil for my wedding either. While I appreciate the refund for alterations, the overall experience was far more stressful than it should have been for such an important day. Future brides should be aware of the risks and added stress this location may bring leading up to their wedding.

Sharon was my consultant, and she was pleasant enough, but I also echo the sentiments that it's unusual for this place not to help you get your dress on, that you hang them back up yourself, and that it's just not on the same service level as the 4 other salons I visited. They don't offer water, tea, etc., nothing to drink, while all 4 other salons would offer water or a soda at a minimum. I had one other appointment earlier in the day, which I ultimately went back to to purchase my dress, despite Jaclyn's also carrying my dress. Jaclyn's price was $700 more for the exact same dress, but even if it had been the same price, I wouldn't have purchased from here based on the service. I get the feeling that the service would be better if you were walking in here with a very large budget. Just an underwhelming experience.

We arrived about 15 minutes early for the appointment and understood we needed to come back, so the three of us my daughter, my sister-in-law, and I walked to a nearby coffee shop to get some tea while we waited for my sister, my niece, and one of her bridesmaids, Sam. When we all got back and walked in, we were greeted by Hailey. She was so bubbly and genuinely excited to help my daughter find the dress. She was incredibly sweet and spoke to my daughter, Anyssa, in such a sincere and warm way that it immediately made her feel comfortable. Since I work in customer service myself, I can easily recognize when someone goes above and beyond and Hailey absolutely did. My sister and everyone with us agreed. Hailey, you are in the right job. God truly placed you exactly where you're meant to be right now. It was clear that you weren't doing this for the commission or for what you might gain from the sale. You were doing it because you understood what this moment meant to my daughter. That meant everything to us. I would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for their wedding dress not just because of the bridal shop, but because of you. I truly hope you are recognized for the amazing job you do. And the best part... she picked the dress!

    I drove up here from San Diego back in my hometown of OC! First of all, this Anthropologie wedding…read moreand the store is beautiful. I am SO jealous we do not have this in San Diego. They have everything from wedding to beauty to home. I will be making trips over here when I visit OC. I chose Anthro to purchase a wedding dress. Their service was amazing. They allowed me to have a few more guests and was patient when I was late to the appointment due to a collision on the freeway. I tried on more dresses than I originally picked. They offered champagne and water. They were positive, professional, and kind and I recommend you buy your wedding dress here. They didn't try to upsell me and prices are transparent on their website. You save a little if you buy from the store.

Anthropology had truly my dream dress at an extremely affordable cost! Would highly recommend choosing it if your priorities are the same as mine! The lady helping us honestly seemed like she didn't really want to the there (one of my bridesmaids said something after too so I know it wasn't just me) but she was plenty nice overall and they give brides and the people they bring free drinks so overall very good experience!

    Such a great bridal salon with excellent customer service. I met some of their team at a wedding…read moreexpo and was able to schedule an appointment with them online. When we arrived we were greeted at the front desk and introduced to the stylist. We then had a little discussion about the venue and things that I may be looking for. Our group then had the chance to look through the dresses and we picked out things that I liked and what they thought I would like. The prices started around $1200 and above for the dresses that I looked through. I really appreciated how it was emphasized that they're trying to help me find what I would like and that we wanted to make the most of the time that we had there. There was also no pressure if there was a dress that I wasn't as much of a fan of. They were very mindful of my budget when looking through dresses. This appointment really helped me get a better understanding of the styles that I preferred and it was nice to have someone to discuss it with. I did not end up buying a dress from here, but I still very much enjoyed the entire experience. They really take care of the brides that come in and I would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a dress.

    My experience here was unfortunately not like most of the reviews. Im getting married in June and…read morepurchased two dresses from Luv Bridal one for my Catholic church ceremony and another for my reception. Before my appointment I did my research, browsed their website and completed the questionnaire outlining my preferences. I had a clear vision a classic ballgown for the ceremony and a more fitted modest look for the reception. When I arrived it was just me and my maid of honor. My consultant, Ashley was friendly at first but as the appointment went on I noticed she kept checking the time. I understand there's a 90 minute limit but it made the experience feel rushed. It also felt very sales driven similar to a car dealership where you're encouraged to purchase that same day for a "special discount." Maybe that's common in bridal shops. I only tried on five dresses, and while I did end up purchasing two of them I regret not being able to explore more options or browse the racks myself. Toward the end it felt like my consultant wasn't interested in pulling additional dresses and my maid of honor picked up on the same vibe. The dresses did arrive on time, and I love both gowns, they are beautiful and high quality. However the pickup experience was even more disappointing. The person assisting me was not very welcoming and the overall service felt dismissive. You're given 60 minutes for pickup but I only took me about 20 minutes to try on both dresses. I asked to try a veil with my ceremony dress and while she handed me one she made a snarky comment saying I wouldn't have time to try on any others and would need to book another appointment. This was said only 10 minutes into my appointment, which felt unnecessary and off putting. At that point I just grabbed my dresses and left. I spent about $3,000 here and while I do love my dresses the customer service did not match the price point or expectations. Would I recommend Luv Bridal? Unfortunately, no. There are so many bridal shops in OC/LA, and if I could go back I would have explored other options instead of relying solely on reviews. I hope this feedback encourages the team to improve. Brides are spending thousands of dollars and even though each appointment may only last an hour, that time should feel special. Every bride deserves that experience. After watching a few TikTok videos from past brides at Luv Bridal I realized I'm not alone in having this kind of experience.
