I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at St. Clark Bridal! We found my daughter…read moreLauren's wedding dress here last weekend, and what we expected to be the beginning of a long search turned into the easiest, most memorable experience. This was Lauren's very first time trying on wedding dresses, and Lisa and Debbie were absolutely amazing. They were warm, patient, knowledgeable, and so generous with their time. They helped educate us on the different gowns and styles, let Lauren try on as many dresses as she wanted without ever making us feel rushed, and even brought out different veil options so we could see the complete look. They truly doted on us and made us feel like family. The boutique itself is PRISTINE, charming, beautiful, and spacious, with two large mirrored areas and different lighting so you can really see each gown once it's on. Lauren tried on several beautiful dresses, and then she put on THE dress. We all had tears in our eyes. We said YES to the dress on our very first day of wedding dress shopping! We couldn't believe what an effortless, fun, and special experience it was. If you're getting married, make St. Clark Bridal your FIRST stop. You may not need a second!

This was the worst experience I had wedding dress shopping. I went to seven bridal shops and Zoe…read morewas the rudest, most condescending employee. The appointment started off odd. She had us pulling dresses instead of her doing it. Every other place, I sat and relaxed while they pulled dresses. When the styles that I picked weren't working for me, and I voiced my concern she became difficult. My family tried to talk to her and she shut them down, saying me and her were having private discussions. Finally, when we complained to the owner, Zoe made a passive aggressive comment in front of all of us. And the owner offered nothing, all she said was that I could pay $300 for a special appointment with her. Def would not recommend!

This review is so long overdue I bought my wedding dress…read morehere 3 years ago I went to at least 5 different wedding dress stores before I landed here Irene is so friendly, sweet, and patient. I really appreciated her helping me choose my perfect wedding dress. After trying on soooo many different dresses, I finally fell in love with a gorgeous dress found at Love Boat Bridal. The dresses here are also very affordable compared to some of the other places I visited, and included alterations. In the end, I was very happy with my service here and I highly recommended Irene and Love Boat Bridal

I had a wonderful experience at Joli Bride. Zina was absolutely amazing to work…read morewith--knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect dress. She listened carefully to what I was looking for, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The boutique has a beautiful selection of gowns, and I never felt pressured. Zina's attention to detail and personalized service made me feel valued and confident in my choice. I highly recommend Joli Bride to anyone looking for a special dress and exceptional customer service. Thank you, Zina, for making the experience so memorable!

Really disappointing experience. I was very clear from the start that I only needed one alteration…read moredone before moving and would handle the rest elsewhere. The seamstress Garine was kind and helpful, but another employee Zina was so incredibly rude. She came off very kind in the beginning but she is a very hostile woman who made the entire experience a very sad one for me and it's still on my mind. When I went to pick up my dress, she called me and immediately accused me of being "disrespectful" for not doing all my alterations with them--something that was never stated to me as a clear policy. In person, she continued to speak to me harshly and said I wasted their time and what I did was not acceptable. She said it so many times and so aggressively I started to cry, and only then she felt bad for being so ridiculously harsh. I even offered to apologize to her seamstress who she claims I was wasting her time, to which she then told told me "it's not a big deal" To make it worse, I was quoted $50 but charged $75 with no clear explanation. I did not want to further argue so I paid what was asked. I went in to pick up my wedding dress, an experience every girl wants to remember for the rest of their lives and left feeling upset and honestly in tears. No customer should be treated this way. Would not recommend doing business with someone like her.

I had a lovely experience renting my bridal gown here! I have a strong sense of my style and body…read moretype, and within the first few dresses, perhaps maybe even the very first one, Chloe brought out the dress I ultimately chose. She was patient as I tried on other styles and even gave us an extra hour to make sure I found the right one. I ended up with a unique gown featuring straps, a square / curved neckline, and a dramatic train with a petticoat underneath. Chloe's mom, the owner, was equally amazing. She picked the accessories, crown, and veil me that fit my vision on the first try. The whole process felt seamless. You really know a place has expertise when they can read your vision clearly and quickly. They seemed to know what I was looking for without dragging things out. It's clear why this family-owned business has been around for so long. Thank you so much again!

After visiting another bridal shop that left me feeling uneasy, I decided to look for a store…read morecloser to home--and I'm so glad I found Bella Wedding Bridal on Yelp! The glowing reviews convinced me to book an appointment, and from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. The store was beautifully organized, with dresses neatly arranged by style, which immediately made the experience feel calm and inviting. I was greeted by Chloe, who introduced herself as my consultant. I showed her my Pinterest inspiration photos, shared my budget (with a little flexibility), and explained the features I was hoping for: a sweetheart or V-neckline, some shimmer, and a lightweight fabric like chiffon since my wedding is outdoors. She thoughtfully selected a few gowns for me and encouraged me to pick some as well. Let me just say--Chloe is the BEST stylist and ultimate hype woman you could ask for while dress shopping! The gowns she chose checked nearly every box, and some even had details I hadn't considered. The second dress I tried on--one of Chloe's picks--made me feel absolutely beautiful. It fit perfectly and had unexpected features I ended up loving, like being strapless (which I usually avoid) and having a longer train. When I mentioned I preferred straps, Chloe immediately suggested adding them--and even offered removable straps for two different looks! I had no idea that was possible. She brought out options and clipped them on so I could see the full vision. Although I had a strong feeling that dress might be "the one," I kept trying on others. Chloe truly listened to my feedback and gave honest opinions without ever being pushy. Each dress she pulled got closer to my vision. In the end, none of them made me feel the way that second dress did, so I tried it on again. Chloe suggested adding a veil and holding a faux bouquet to complete the look--and that sealed it. I felt confident, beautiful, and 100% sure. It was my dress--with the removable straps! When I told Chloe it was "the one," she was genuinely thrilled. She hugged me, celebrated with my bridesmaids and me, and took photos in their adorable photo area. She also clearly explained the payment process and provided a detailed quote, including alteration costs if I chose to do them there. Because of the incredible service and limited alteration options nearby, I decided to have my alterations done in-house as well. My dress arrived about four months later, and the process continued to be wonderful. I also want to give a special shoutout to Chloe's mom, the store owner who handled my alterations with such care, and to Rose, another sweet associate who helped take photos during fittings. Every appointment felt personal--Chloe, her mom, and Rose always remembered me, greeted me with smiles and hugs, and truly made me feel like family. For brides who prefer renting, that's also an option here. They also carry bridal accessories like veils and hairpieces, and even have a men's catalogue for suit orders. If you're not sure where to start your dress journey, I can't recommend Bella Wedding Bridal enough. The service is heartfelt, genuine, and so supportive. Thank you, Chloe and team, for helping me find my dream dress and making me feel so beautiful!

Found my dream dress here!! And within my budget!…read more I went to two bridal shops in San Diego then this was the first I checked out in LA, and didn't need to go anywhere else! I shared some inspiration pics before my first appointment and Sherri immediately knew what I was looking for and pulled great options for me to try. I quickly found my top choice and came back a few days later to make the purchase. Sherri was very knowledgeable about every dress in her shop and supported me every step of the decision. I felt so confident saying yes to the dress here! This is a hidden gem tucked away in Sawtelle. It's not pretentious but rather a casual and relaxed atmosphere with fairly priced dresses and accessories. I also love that they do alterations in house. Will come back to share pics after I get married in 2027 if I remember!

There has never been a more penny pinching and less moral booking policy. Only 15 of my 200+…read morereviews are 1 star, so I don't choose that ranking lightly, especially for a small local business. We booked an appointment 4 or 5 days ahead of time, as there was full availability on the calendar for weekdays. There is a 48 hour cancellation window, and at hour 47 we realized that the timing conflicted slightly with a work matter (when we made the appointment we were in New York and miscalculated the time difference). An email was sent at the 47th hour (1 hour after the window), mentioning the issue and asking if it could still be canceled since it was so close to the window, and apologizing for missing the window. The owner replied and specifically said "No problem, we've gone ahead and canceled the appointment for you". At this point, we figured all was well as they made no mention of still charging the fee. A few weeks later, we noticed the charge was still there. A quick email reply came when we inquired saying it was past their window and no refund was due. IF this was the case, why did the original email not say so and why did they make 0 effort to reschedule or ask if another time worked better? OR we could have made it work if she hadn't responded so positively. What a slimy way to make a quick $27 for nothing. I will restate that the calendar was still really really open (ie, it was not a highly sough after appointment slot taken from anyone else even on the off chance they were booking in the 2-4 days out window). Overall, it is a blessing the appointment didn't happen after reading some of these reviews about how the owner acts in person (no surprise there). Ended up with a beautiful dress from Berta and would highly recommend their new LA showroom on Beverly.

Thank you to Helen for turning around a beautiful cheongsam for my wedding. I admit I came to Helen…read morea bit late in the game so there was a tight deadline getting my dress and the fitting but Helen made it happen. You call Helen to make an appointment. Then there you can browse her selection of designs, which she designs herself. If you give her enough time you can pick the fabric. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the fabrics that are more readily available. She'll take your measurements and then you set an appointment to try on your gown. Make sure to bring the shoes you plan to wear on your special occasion so she gets the length right. Then on your second trip, make sure you have your receipt number handy. Maybe take a picture of it as soon as she gives it to you on your first visit. Then she may make additional adjustments or not. Helen also has a lot of dresses available for rental as well. This is a very homey, small business shop so the fitting room is basically a big closet in the back. She is really nice, kinda reminds me of many friends' moms. She speaks limited English so if you have a particular vision and don't speak Mandarin, I'd bring a friend to help translate. My dress came out so well fitting and I got a lot of compliments on it. Hope to find another occasion to wear it again (and hope I can still fit it lol). It was around $300, not too bad! There is street parking in front and residential parking around.

Miss Helen works MAGIC when it comes to QiPao designs. I was looking around for a QiPao to wear to…read moremy graduation and stumbled upon Brocade Apparel after multiple failed attempts of finding a well fitting, generic QiPao in Chinatown. I am very glad that I decided to come to Brocade to see Helen. I did not have an appointment, but Helen took me in graciously. Which she did not have to since she does state on her website that appointment are REQUIRED. I clearly did not read it carefully enough at the time. I told her where some of my insecurities were and she explained that QiPaos look best on people who have some extra meat and fluff to them and she was able to point on what type of designs would help accentuate my natural curves. She rushed my order a bit as I did not know that QiPaos that are custom takes a minimum of 3-4 months to make. I had the basic QiPao design and Helen added the sleeves for me although there is normally an extra charge to add sleeves to QiPaos. Please DO NOT throw away your receipt since you have to text that to her the day before the fitting so she can track your dress. I had a initial fitting in mid November and I received my dress about 3 weeks after since I had gained some weight and the dress needed to be altered to go up a size. In the end it all worked out and I had my beautiful, pure silk QiPao just in time for my photoshoot. Everyone who saw me in the QiPao could not stop complimenting me on the day of my photoshoot and the day of my graduation. I had never felt more confident in clothing than putting on the QiPao. I am so grateful for this experience with Helen in designing a custom QiPao. Also, expect that basic QiPaos are a minimum of $500 and up. If you want embroidery, I was told that it will be a minimum of about $1,000+. Prices are due to change based on the economy of course. Helen also informed me that she can design other clothing besides QiPaos and I had even noticed some wedding dresses in her changing room. I will definitely go back to Helen when I get married to design another dress. She also informed me her busy season tends to be from Jan/Feb until end of August as that is when Lunar New Year and Wedding Season is, so expect a longer turn-around time during that period.
