Trying on a gown
Megan L.

This was my first stop when wedding gown shopping and I couldn't have had a better experience. I was rather nervous about being the center of attention that day and having to be critical about myself in different gowns, but as soon as I walked in I felt more at ease. Mostly due to the fantasy(Harry Potter, Doctor Who, LOTR) decor hidden within the bridal aesthetic. This made my inner nerd feel at home. I loved the variety of the dress selection and many of the dresses she selected for me. My budget was $4000 and with gown, veil, sleeve add on, and rush fee it was still below my budget Amanda was fantastic, very helpful and kind but without it feeling like she was trying to sell me something. Just a very genuine experience. If this is your first stop like it was mine she will have many tips on how to go about picking your gown, even if it's not from her shop. Side note: we came in early for a follow up appointment and while we waited she was doing some clerical work placing orders for dresses via the computer, but what I loved was she followed up with the orders by calling and verifying they went through before the end of the business day. So if you are looking for a beautiful and genuine gown shopping experience that will leave you feeling at ease and well taken care of, then this is your place. Especially, if you love fantasy but still want that bridal aesthetic.

Checking out sample sale
Laurie Y.

Amanda is the owner and was very nice when we stopped in the day before when there was a Sample Sale. We also confirmed our appointment for the next day since she didn't respond earlier. We saw a really nice Sample dress that my younger daughter tried on which was beautiful and only $899 but she's not even engaged yet! So we arrived today for our 10am appointment excitedly looking forward that my older daughter would find something for her Fall wedding! I had read her reviews on Yelp how she helped mostly all the brides find their "Perfect Dress" So I was excited that she could do the same! Unfortunately, the dresses she pulled were not very appealing! A couple of them were more "prom like" instead of bridal. And after asking my daughter what she liked and didn't like, she didn't have any other dresses to show her?? She didn't even want to show her the dress her sister tried on the day before?! I really don't know how she will survive despite the store being whimsical and beautiful!!

If you are wedding dress shopping, you HAVE to come to this dress boutique!! It's whimsical and special just like the dress options and variety!! I had a few other wedding dress appointments, this one was my last one bc I had to give it a shot. It came SO close!!! Such different and unique styles that are affordable and such good quality. The stylist and owner Amanda is so sweet and you can tell she loves her job!! Her boutique is also beautifully designed. I definitely recommend this boutique!

Can't give enough positive words to how happy I was with my experience! Amanda listened to what things I liked and disliked about dresses and she understood my body shape and was able to help me find something that fit my body! I felt so soft and feminine, but also with a little bit of sexiness in a tasteful amount :) She also checked with the company to find the dress style I wanted in the dual tone that I preferred. She went even further and made sure that the bodice length didn't change that much between sizes so I could feel confident that the fit would be the same under the arms and elongate my torso. (A good thing for short 5' girlies like me). She did all of this within my budget too! Woo!

I am beyond happy with my experience at Lorien Bridal. I was so nervous because I HATE dress shopping. Amanda made the whole experience so easy and I found the most gorgeous non-traditional dress. I tried on about 5-6 dresses and they were all phenomenal! If you're looking for whimsy (because who isn't in this crazy world), then this is the place for you! Also, I heard about Lorien by word of mouth so you know they're good!

I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to Manda for helping me find my dress (Wilderly Gardenia). It was such a special experience and I felt so beautiful on the big day. The dress was not only light and comfortable, but well within my budget.

I had a fantastic time shopping at Lorien. Even though I didn't purchase my dress here, I still highly recommend it. The amazing decor of the place fits my nerdy personality perfectly and made me all the more excited to visit. They were super great with communication and scheduling especially during a trunk show/busy time. Definitely bring some ideas and styles in mind to make it easier. Thankful for the help & personality of the gal assisting me in & out of the dresses.

There's so much I can say about this beautiful shop and it's lovely owner Amanda. I chose to include one person in my dress shopping experience as my bridal party lives states away. I was nervous and had no clue what I really wanted. Amanda was so attentive and asked all the right questions to narrow it down. She was so patient as I was ALL over the place. I tried on about 5 dresses or so which was lovely and not overwhelming. Turns out I ended up liking a mix of two dresses. Amanda shared that a perfect mix of the two would be coming into the shop any day now. Amanda called when it came in and her instincts were correct, that was my dress! Amanda then measured and discussed with me the best possible size for me to not have to do a significant amount of alterations. Although they do not do alterations in house Amanda has great budget friendly options. I am so glad I found this boutique and am so grateful for Amanda's help and honesty throughout the process. She kept to my budget and maintained communication through the entire process. On my wedding day I felt my absolute best and so confident in my gown.

I loved my experience at Lorien Bridal! Amanda is amazing and so knowledgeable. I really felt like she listened to my preferences, but knew when to encourage me to try something different. As someone who is queer and isn't super traditionally feminine, I was nervous about starting the search for a dress. If you are any lover of fantasy, sci fi, nerd, geek, queer, etc... you will feel right at home here! I loved the dress I picked out, it was so beautiful and everyone complimented it. I wore Storm by Willowby. I was comfortable in it all night! I will be recommending every birde I meet to check this place out.

The final dress!

I got so many compliments on my dress and definitely name dropped Lorien as much as possible. If I could buy more dresses from Amanda I would! Photographer: Clarisse Rae

I had the best experience at Lorien today! Amanda was amazing, and asked lots of questions to make sure she was pulling dresses I would for sure love, along with some wild cards just in case lol. I'm not a skinny bride, and was really nervous to go dress shopping, but she made me feel so at ease and beautiful in my body. They have a ton of different styles for everyone, but it's an especially wonderful boutique for the brides looking for an ethereal, elf queen, fairy princess vibe (literally knew it was the place for me when I noticed they were playing the Lord of the Rings soundtrack when we walked in). Lorien was the first shop I went to, and I found my dress with Amanda's help. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Getting my dress at Lorien was the best decision (and most fun experience) in my wedding planning journey. Amanda was very helpful and my guests and I enjoyed the themes and the selection in her shop, which includes a lot of gorgeous plus size gowns! I was a bit of a late shopper (only 4 months before my wedding), and Amanda kept it real for which dresses would come in on time and be around my budget, which I greatly appreciated. We found THE dress, and Amanda worked her magic to get it a bit faster than expected. I received so many compliments on my dress and our photos are amazing. If you're looking for a unique, show-stopping, fairy tale worthy dress for your wedding day, this is definitely the place to go!

Elizabet Z.

As a plus size bride, wedding dress shopping had my anxiety on overdrive. Luckily Amanda calmed all my worries and spoke to me with such assurance on my wants (and not wants!) that finding my dream dress was such a breeze! Most importantly she was my advocate when making decisions with the others in my party. When I showed her a picture of a dress I was liking, she showed me perfect options in my budget. And the variety of styles was great. I wanted a more whimsical dress and she had so many options. Thank you Amanda!

The shop itself is huge with an amazing selection, but their customer service and expertise are what really shine. Efrain made the entire experience unforgettable, from guiding us through narrowing down styles, running the most immaculate fitting process, and giving honest, gentle guidance that respected both my budget and vision. I truly felt like THE BRIDE and was supported and celebrated from start to finish!

I had such an amazing experience finding my wedding dress! I cannot thank Efrain enough for making…read morethis experience so special. You can genuinely tell how passionate he is about what he does, and he is INCREDIBLY good at it! He took the time to listen to everything I liked, paid attention to the details, and really got to know my style and what I envisioned for myself. What impressed me most was that he ended up finding THE dress, and it was one I probably would have never picked off the rack myself! Based on everything I had shown him and the things I gravitated toward, he knew exactly what would complement my body type while still staying true to my personal style. That takes a special kind of talent! He didn't just help me find a beautiful dress; he helped me find MY dress. I truly cannot praise him enough for the spectacular job he did! I also want to recognize the manager, Nar, who was incredibly kind and attentive. I really appreciated her attention to detail and commitment to making sure every bride is 100% satisfied. Efrain mentioned how particular she is about getting everything just right, and that level of care really shows. Another thing that stood out was their honesty and transparency throughout the entire process. There was no pressure, no vague answers, and no feeling like they were just trying to make a sale. They respected my budget, showed me different options, and even explored possibilities for dresses that weren't in stock to see what could realistically arrive before my wedding. With such a short timeline, I appreciated how accommodating and upfront they were about everything. I brought my fiancé along because his opinion means so much to me, and they made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable for both of us. I walked in with an idea of what I wanted and walked out with something even better. I felt heard, understood, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience. If you're looking for a dress that truly feels like YOU, please go see Efrain! He has an incredible eye, a genuine passion for what he does, and the talent to bring your vision to life, even when you don't quite know what that looks like yourself. I cannot recommend him and the entire team enough!

The store was completely ours for the appointment so we received all the attention and support. We were seated in their couch area. The seats were all very cozy. They offered us all cookies and water. We were not rushed but made to feel right at home. Then I was given a bucket with clips to use on the hangers of the dresses I wanted to try on. I loved that I was able to go through the dresses myself and that the selection of dresses was so organized and easy to comb through. I ha been to other bridal boutiques where we were not allowed to touch the dresses or where I was rushed through them or felt overwhelmed and didn't get to explore the whole inventory and got fomo. This system was efficient and perfect! After I made my dress selections, the owners pulled them and set them aside so I could see them all. They also pulled a few they thought would look good on me and one of them literally ended up being our favorite. However, they had so many options that looked so gorgeous and completely different from anything I'd seen at other bridal shops. This was also the only boutique I went to where I was offered a mirror to be able to see the back of the dress without having to look over my shoulder. They had so many of these small choices that just made the experience so smooth. They had the best service here! Truly. Dreamy dresses. Lots of customization available. Very fair pricing. Highly recommend giving this shop a visit.

They were so attentive & helpful, going the extra mile to help me visualize changes I could make. The shop & dressing room were beautiful! It made it feel like the special event it was. My budget was $4000 and even with rush fee any of the gowns would have been below that. They also had a large selection of sale dresses. If you are looking for a Hollywood glam or bohemian gown you must go here. I ended up going for a different aesthetic, but if that's what you know you want, you'll find it here. I hope to have an event in the future that would give me an opportunity to get one of their gowns.

I found my dress at LUV Bridal, and everything about the experience was perfection! Leading up to…read morethe appointment, I called them a few times to see where I was on the waitlist, so when I showed up for my appointment (after happily getting off the waitlist), they were so excited and already knew who I was when I arrived (lol). Before the appointment, Roman (my stylist) texted me so she could learn a bit more about the styles I was interested in and the vibe for the overall look I'm going for. I loved this because it felt like such a personal touch and made showing up for the appointment a breeze. It also made it feel very personal rather than just filling out a form and saying these are the dresses I like. I felt like I was walking into an appointment where my friend wanted to help me look my absolute best on my wedding day. When I showed up for my appointment, they had my name on the wall (along with all the other brides with appointments that day) and they already knew who I was (thanks to those phone calls!). Holly and Roman were there to greet us and they were like "it's THE Danielle!" It honestly kicked off my appointment with such a bang. They brought out snacks and drinks for us (another really thoughtful touch), took some measurements, we talked about the dresses I was interested in trying on, and then we went to look through the dress racks for more. The first dress I tried on ended up being THE dress, and the whole experience was SO fun! Roman brought out the veils, got me a bouquet, and had me "walk down the aisle" to her amazing playlist (which oddly included songs I have on my possible wedding songs playlist). It was SO fun and made it all feel even more real. Even though I knew that was the dress, I tried on maybe five or six more dresses, including some that Roman thought would add a different flare. I loved this because when else am I going to try on wedding dresses again? I loved getting to see so many different styles on myself and really embrace the moment. In the end, I put back on THE dress and I asked for one more addition and Roman went and grabbed it, completely completing the look. It was it! Not to mention, I asked about making one detail change and they were able to make that happen. We all celebrated and it honestly felt like a little party. While the dress is so stunning and I can't wait to get it in September, the service that Roman and Holly gave me, my mom, sister, and friend was just top notch. It was the best experience I had at a bridal shop and I think it was really an amalgamation of great energy, beautiful dresses, creativity and flexibility, and all at a spectacular price point. LUV feels like a bridal shop that truly wants to make a bride feel her best while not breaking the bank for beauty. I'm just so happy they were a part of my bridal era experience! Thank you SO much Roman and Holly, you both are amazing! Everyone who's looking for their wedding dress, get yourself to LUV Bridal in Sun Valley, you will not regret it!

She pulled the selections my friend wanted to try but also suggested and pulled a couple dresses that she thought would work well for her.

They also offer an option to get 10% off if you say yes to the dress at your first appointment. The whole experience was wonderful, the store was clean and gorgeous. All the dresses are so pretty to look at and many are between $1-3K. They also had some waters and sodas and some snacks for everyone in the group which was a nice touch.

When we went to pick up the dress, we were suddenly told that they rent the crowns and don't give veils. Why tell us one thing in the beginning if that was never actually the case? It was extremely frustrating and felt completely dishonest. Then, on top of that, they gave us the dress only two days before the wedding. When my sister went in to try it on before taking it home, the dress was too big and did not fit properly. She ended up leaving the dress there, and the owner told her that they would deliver it to our house. My sister later called to ask when the dress would be delivered, and they ended up sending a $6000 wedding dress through Uber with a random stranger. Seriously, how do you trust a $6,000 wedding dress to be transported like that? For something so expensive and important, we expected much more care and professionalism. Unfortunately, the problems didn't end there. The entire night, the dress kept slipping off my sister. This was supposed to be one of the most important and special days of her life, and instead, we were constantly worried about the dress. For the amount of money spent, the service, communication, and overall experience were nowhere near what we expected. We trusted this store with my sister's wedding dress, and the experience left us extremely disappointed. I would not recommend Mayana Bridals based on our experience.

But, I loved her first pick for me, she gave me everything I wanted and more. Even my best friend wanted to try on gowns with me that is how good Daisy is at her job. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough-- they will work with your budget and shop with your wallet in mind. Also, with this place being in DTLA, there is parking in the back, so you do not have to try to find street parking. TL;DR: if you are shopping for your dress and want someone to read your mind or even translate your dress dreams into reality, go to Daisy. She knew everything I wanted and THEN some. She even had me trying things out of my comfort zone that I loved. 10/10 would recommend.

And I do not want to sound like I have no knowledge of big city life but it was the first bridal shop that I have passed in my life that looked like a tv set. So this Yelp is kind of more my experience window shopping for dresses I never will buy, never will need, or never will likely see on a person down an aisle, because isn't window shopping seeing something and imagining its story? Or just imagining the story of how it would look on us? So I am not sure the person's name but as I was taking pictures, a woman enthusiastically waved at me. She saw that my actions were quiet joy and she made it ok for me to continue my journey through glass. So one of the wonderful things about the shop is that I saw a woman having a bridal fitting. It was the woman in white, a guy and what I thought was the staff member that I want to say was the tailor. I stopped myself from describing her as a seamstress. Sometimes progress has to be loud to be seen. Moving on from that, I wondered what the bride-to-be was thinking? I used to know someone that felt that the money that was about to spend in the wedding was too much. But his future wife and her mom really were full steam ahead, lavish wedding or bust. He talked about the regret of spending so much when there are kids who need food to not be starving. I also know that some people say that society has created an opportunity for women to truly see the wedding as the important day of their life, as. a way to keep patriarchy in tact. So I wondered how did bride to be feel, like she was living a dream that she wanted or was expected from her? And I do not want to take her moment of glory for her, if this was her grail. I mean I hope that she obssesses over cakes for weeks and eventually the first moutful is heaven delivered by a fork held by her true Angel. But like I said I window shopped. Looking at the dresses they were also pretty! Like I could see how this place was expnesive. I also saw the wracks filled with different dresses. There was also this dress that had this huge ruffle bottom. Like thee reuffles would the womans leg and get to her knees. It was so dramatic. I wonder how it would sound the the aisle and would the woman really have to focus on her steps so she did not trip? I can see someone going here for a fun fitting that inspires wonder.

I couldn't recommend Joli Bride enough! Zina is the kindest woman. She made me feel taken care of…read moreand seen from the moment we walked through the door. Her love for what she does radiates and made my wedding dress experience so memorable! Before finding Joli Bride I was deciding between another dress at LOHO bride. I ended up deciding against the dress there because of how poor the customer service was. Zina immediately made me feel welcome, she didn't rush me at all and was willing to work with my vision for my dress. Her expertise and experience outshined everyone else at other stores and I felt comfortable trusting her opinions and suggestions. It was also so comforting working with them from start to finish. They knew me, my dress and what I liked so when it came to alterations i knew I had nothing to worry about! Thank you Zina!
