Entrance from parking lot

I had my first official bridal dress appointment at Luv Bridal, and it was such a wonderful experience! I was greeted right away at the front desk and immediately amazed by how stunning the shop is. I absolutely loved the layout and overall atmosphere. The only small thing I would mention is that the lighting is a little lacking. You don't really notice it until you visit another bridal shop, but it is definitely on the darker end. That being said, it's a very minor detail compared to how beautiful the space and experience are overall! My associate, Kristina, was absolutely amazing. She truly bent over backwards to help me customize the dresses and try different things so I could envision exactly how they would look with some of my special requests. She was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and I never once felt pressured or like anyone was being overly "salesy." It genuinely felt like everyone there wanted what was best for me and wanted me to find the right dress. Their appointments are free and their dress costs start at $1,500 which was a big reason I wanted to visit. Kristina and the entire Luv Bridal team made both me and my girls feel so welcome, comfortable, and taken care of. I'm so glad I chose Luv Bridal for my first bridal appointment and ended up coming back to say yes to the dress.

She was gorgeous and fun to try on!

**TLDR** Why I Loved It 1. Size Inclusivity - Samples up to size 28; great coverage and fit. 2. Stylists - Diana and Jill were prepared, helpful, and hype-women. 3. Environment - Clean, modern, and high-energy "Yes" vibes, but not forced 4. Location - Easy freeway access and dedicated parking. ******************************************************* First off, CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement (or the engagement of someone you love)! Dress shopping can be a whirlwind of stress and uncertainty, especially if it's your first time navigating the world of bridal gowns. After visiting five other shops between the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, I finally "Said Yes to the Dress" at Luv Bridal (Los Angeles). I'm honestly gushing because the experience was just that good. Finding "The One" (Shop, that is!) I found Luv Bridal through a Google search for the best bridal shops in LA. It was ranked near the top, and the article mentioned this is a flagship store. That gave me hope they'd have a massive selection and--more importantly--the plus-size samples I needed. As a plus-sized girly, the struggle is real. It's incredibly stressful trying on dresses that are way too small or don't offer enough "coverage for the girls" to even visualize the final look. Luv Bridal carries up to a size 28, which was well above what I needed. Even after visiting a specialized plus-size boutique nearby, Luv Bridal was the one that delivered. The Logistics (What you need to know) The Vibe: It's in the LA Fashion District. It might look a little "sketch" outside, but don't let that scare you! Parking/Access: There is plenty of parking in the lot behind the store (we even saw a security guard!), and it's right off the 10 highway for an easy getaway. The Space: Modern, clean, and massive. They have hundreds of gowns and about eight fitting rooms, each with private seating for your squad. The Perks: They provide a snack tray and water for your group, plus a dedicated refreshment station if you need more. They have jewelry you can try on to get a better picture of what you and your dress can look like on the big day. (And yes, the restrooms are clean!) --- The Service I called on a Sunday during a holiday weekend and spoke with Diana, who was so kind and informative. She squeezed me in for a same-day appointment and was 100% prepared when I walked through the door. Unlike other shops I had visited, there is currently no charge to book an appointment. Every other shop I had visited charged between $25 - $75 just to try on dresses. I am actually okay with paying a small fee for someone to support me while I find my gown. My stylist, Jill, was a total pro. She looked at my inspo photos, asked about my "hard pass" criteria, and went to work. Trying on dresses with her was actually fun. The whole shop had such a joyous vibe--while I was there, three other brides said "Yes" too! I honestly wanted to apply for a job there just to be around all that love. The Verdict I officially found my dream gown and I can't wait to go back in October for my fitting. Ladies, take it from a former "Elite Yelper": whether you make Luv Bridal your very first stop or your absolute last, **DO NOT MISS IT.** This experience was well worth the 350-mile trip from SF to LA.

I made an appointment at LUV Bridal on a Friday evening - my bridal stylist was Suzanne This was seriously the best shopping experience I've ever had! It was the first bridal shop I've ever been to. They were so warm and welcoming to me and my family. I had told them that my mom passed away so I had a few mothers of my life that flew into town to support me during shopping. They were super accommodating for my big group and they even gave me these precious "In Loving Memory" planters that become wildflowers when planted They had a super beautiful selection and SO MANY off-the-rack options. Not only did they stay within my budget, but we found a dress significantly LESS than my budget! It was such a fun process Suzanne, thank you so much - you were an absolute angel

01.10.26 -- I got married, and I just have to share how beautiful my wedding dresses were from Luv Bridal. My stunning church wedding dress was Kenai by Pronovias, and my wonderful reception dress was Jack NS by Madi Lane Bridal Group. From the moment Jayla helped me pick my dresses, the Luv Bridal team was constantly helpful. Every single person working there is truly wonderful and kind. They genuinely value their customers, listen to your style, and even respect the budget you're aiming for. I truly recommend Luv Bridal to any woman looking for her dream wedding dress

Not my dress, but helped narrow down what I wanted!

Luv Bridal LA was the first stop on my long weekend of wedding dress shopping--and ended up being the ONLY stop at the end of my appointment! ABSOLUTELY everyone at Luv was so kind and helpful, especially my stylist Marianna. She was so attentive, truly listened to all of my comments, and let me take my time with each dress. She somehow understood how I felt about every dress (even when I didn't even know how to explain it) and we ended up finding the ONE after trying 5 or 6. She also made sure to stay within my budget for each dress. I never would have thought that I would find the dress of my dreams at my first appointment, but Marianna and everyone at Luv truly made it such a magical experience.

Admiring the most gorgeous dresses!

I made the drive from Visalia to LA with the idea to just go browse... I immediately got the chills and was in awe of how beautiful the salon was! I was greeted with happy faces and a professional yet welcoming vibes. Claire was my stylist and let's just say, she was the most sweet and lovely stylist. She asked all the right questions and really took the time to get to know exactly what I was looking for. We had the chance to explore the store and pick some dresses out that stood out. Claire was able to pull exactly what I was going for. My sisters and best friend were treated so nicely! Their voices and opinions were taken to heart as well. Claire was able to find me the most perfect dress- even customizing the dress for me!also below budget! The value is insane! I cannot believe I was able to find a dress off the floor and it'll be ready within a week. Especially since my wedding date is only 90 days away. Long story short, this place is beyond. I wish I needed more wedding dresses! Highly recommend!

We all came here to support my sister in finding her wedding dress. The studio is so clean, organized and well-lit. They even gave us free bottled waters and snacks. The staff were all nice and hepful. Fabiola, the stylist who helped my sister was wonderful, friendly, very knowledgeable and kind. The whole fitting process was a breeze. The dresses were well made and high quality. If you purchase the dress within the day of fitting, you'll get 15% off. The price is very reasonable for what its worth.

Shoutout to Mar who went through the weeds to make sure I left saying "yes to the dress". I wasn't sure what style would look good on me, so Mar was patient in giving me a variety of looks to try on. I was not expecting to purchase a dress since I am far out from my wedding date. However, I found a unique style I couldn't say no to. If this is your first time visiting, I recommend checking out their Instagram because they post many of their current products. You can get a quick idea of what you want to see. If you purchase a dress on your first visit, they offer a 15% concession for your "Luv at first sight". Luv Bridal caters to a range of budgets. I saw plenty of beautiful dresses under the $2000 range. They also have beautiful higher end designers like Pronovias. If you're pressed for time or have a modest budget, they have off the rack options you can inquire about. What I truly appreciate is how staff provide the highest customer service regardless of your dress price range. They really do show "Luv" for their brides. It was easy to make an appointment online. You need to submit a deposit to save your slot, and they have a reasonable cancellation policy. When I had to cancel my original appointment due to a scheduling conflict, I was given such friendly service over the phone that I decided to book another appointment a few days later. The LA showroom is spacious and has a cute lounge set up for your bridal dress entourage. They provide small refreshments to enjoy during your appointment. There was plenty of parking despite being in DTLA. However, FYI, the parking entrance is easy to miss since it is directly adjacent to the freeway exit. Overall, I'd say Luv Bridal is really good at providing your ultimate bridal experience. They had a lot of intentional details that gave the appointment a "special touch". What I loved most was how they gave me a Polaroid photo of me and my family in my dress. I think what makes this location standout is the customer service and personable staff who make you feel like you're the only bride shopping in the room. I would highly recommend all brides make an appointment here first before checking out other bridal boutiques.

If you want the full wedding dress shopping experience, definitely come to Luv Bridal. It was easy to make an appointment online and a few days prior, they reached out via text with details about you, who you're coming with, what you're looking for, etc. which felt so personable. It is located conveniently off the 10 freeway with a large parking lot, which is such a huge plus in DTLA. The warehouse is so bright, airy, and spacious. They have 3 rows of dresses line up to browse through, which is a wide selection without being overwhelming. There's ample space between each bride and their party. I like how they have comfortable couches and stools for your group including refreshments like sparkling water and snacks to enjoy. There's even a box of tissue, which was necessary. With 90 minutes, I was able to try on 5 dresses. What really made the experience incredible for me was the veil, accessories, and bouquet for the full effect. Grace was my stylist and she was so amazing to work with. She really snatched me up so the dresses were fitted perfectly on me. She was also so mindful of my budget by picking out "off the rack" dresses for me that were under $1k. They also offer a "luv at first sight" discount for the non-discounted dresses too. The entire experience was everything I imagined it to be as I flew from NY to have this experience with my bridal party. In the end, I was debating so much if I should say yes. Grace went ahead and gave me time to decide as she had to help her next client. After re-evaluating, I decided to say YES to the dress, especially since I had my bridal party with me and I flew across the country for this. Kat ended up helping me process this and even helped give us some tips for bridesmaids dresses. Obviously, I ended up cancelling my other wedding dress shopping appointment after coming here. Luv Bridal is such a beautiful experience with the most gorgeous dresses and personable service.

Since the Asian employee was busy, the Latina employee initially helped us. However, when two other customers walked in, the Latina employee stopped assisting us and focused on them instead. We were left waiting without anyone acknowledging us or checking if we needed help. It felt like the other customers were receiving much better service. I had already tried on a couple of hair pieces and didn't want to remove them myself because I was afraid of damaging them, so I waited for someone to assist me. Once the Asian employee finished with her customer, I asked for help. She was kind, patient, and helped me choose a hair piece. I had also planned to purchase earrings, but after the experience, I decided not to. I ended up purchasing only the hair piece. While the quality was nice, I personally found the items to be overpriced. A funny part of the experience was that the customers the Latina employee left us for didn't end up buying anything, despite her providing them with much better customer service than she provided us. I don't know why our experience was so different, but it honestly made me wonder if she had judged us based on appearances because we weren't given the same level of attention or courtesy. If you're shopping with a budget under $100, this may not be the right place for you, and it could save you time to shop elsewhere. Unfortunately, the lack of acknowledgment and inconsistent customer service left a bad impression. Because of that, I don't plan on returning.

From the very beginning, Freddy was absolutely AMAZING! His patience, kindness, attention to detail, and incredible vision made all the difference. He truly took the time to understand what I was looking for, even when I was feeling overwhelmed and indecisive. He never once made me feel rushed or pressured. Instead, he made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident throughout the entire experience.

He has such a special talent for what he does, and you can genuinely feel the passion and care he puts into helping his brides. Thanks to his guidance, I FOUND MY DREAM DRESS!! I will forever be grateful for Freddy's time, patience, and dedication to making this moment so unforgettable.

Horrible experience from the moment I walked in…read more My mom and I walked in smiling, excited for my bridal appointment. Instead of being welcomed, the front desk staff laughed, and one of them asked, "What are you doing here?" I replied, "I have an appointment," and they all laughed again. Looking back, I should have walked out then, but I decided to give them a chance. I was told I had to wait because no one was available to help me, even though there were four staff members standing at the front. I was told to look through the racks for dresses while I waited. Since it was my first time shopping for a wedding dress, I didn't know the process. Later, I noticed signs everywhere saying not to walk through the aisles, so my mom and I stood to the side and waited. After about 20 minutes, someone finally came to help us. She immediately asked which dresses I wanted to try on. I explained that I had no idea because this was my first bridal appointment and I was hoping for some guidance. She seemed visibly annoyed. She pulled a few dresses, and one of them was absolutely beautiful--I genuinely loved it. However, the overall attitude made me uncomfortable. At one point, she told me the dress was around $5,000 and then asked, "Can you afford it?" I replied, "Yes, I can." After that, I noticed other staff members gathering around and suddenly walking by to compliment how beautiful the dress looked on me. It felt very insincere. Even though I loved the dress, I decided not to purchase it. Buying a wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I didn't feel confident moving forward with a boutique where I felt unwelcome and judged. I politely ended my appointment and left. As I was walking out, I heard one of the employees say, "I told you they weren't going to buy it." That confirmed I had made the right decision. Thankfully, I found my dream dress at a wonderful bridal boutique in Costa Mesa, where I was treated with kindness, respect, and genuine excitement. The difference in customer service was night and day. Every bride deserves to feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

If you decide to go with Lucky Brides, you will receive such a personable and easy going…read moreexperience! The moment I met Angel she made me feel so comfortable and never pressured to purchase from her. My friends and I browsed in her shop until I found my dream dress that she designed. She took my measures and created a gorgeous bridal gown and veil. I am still getting compliments to this day. My dress was affordable but custom and nothing I have seen before! Also she gives you free alterations which I'm grateful for because I lost alot of unexpected weight due to the wedding planning process. Angel is a very busy woman so occasionally she was slow to respond to calls and messages. Besides that I can honestly say I'm so glad I chose Lucky Brides.

Let's see where to begin. My daughter's wedding date was 10/9/26. We went searching for her dress…read more11/2025 as she was so excited and since life passes by so quickly she wanted to ensure that the dress was locked in. We went to about 5 different dress shops and the last few were in LA . We had went to the Bridal Expo in Costa Mesa CA and my daughter won $500 off a dress at Lucky Brides. We decided to check it out. Now originally we had an appt for the Westminster location which never opened so the day we went to LA my daughter called the shop and they happened to be opened and said we could go in. We get there and it was such a cute spot. My daughter was set on a mermaid style dress and that didn't really seem to be working for her so one of the dress employees ( can't remember their names but no longer work there) suggested my daughter to try on different dresses. My daughter did an fell in love with a sweetheart dress. The cost was $2500.00 minus the $500. My daughter had tried on this gorgeous veil as they put the whole dress together to give the vision. Oh the dress had 1 pocket which I thought was strange but super cool too. So my daughter said "I love it and YES to this dress!" When I went to pay a $1000.00 deposit ( I paid the remaining amount month later) they said the veil was not included and asked the owner Angel ( called her on the phone) she said she would through it in. I thought WOW so sweet. No mind you alterations were included. Now I am gonna sum this up cause this is alot and I don't want to bore you all. So the dress was in production and after speaking to Angel on the phone she had said that fitting would be a month prior to the wedding. She did say if my daughter lost alot of weight ( which she did) that another measurement appt would be needed sooner. My daughter called/text Angel and informed her of this and she said to just come the month before. So during this 1 month before my daughter was scammed on her hall and we were frantically looking for another which we found but you can imagine the stress this had put on my daughter. So we go to her fitting beginning of Sept. My daughter put the dress on and i noticed something was different. The dress was not a sweetheart but a tube ste top part of the dress. I said to Angel "This isn't her dress!" Angel said that is was and I said "No it isn't " so I showed her the pics. My daughter ended up liking this style better so it worked out but the fact that it was wrong annoyed me. Moving on..Angel said my daughter lost alot of weight and that she should have came in sooner and that they will do their best to have it ready in a week , well it wasn't ready in a week it was now 2 weeks before her wedding when we went back. My daughter's dress had 3 silver hooks for the bussel and I asked why and Angel's reposnse was that it was too heavy and the hooks needed to be stronger. My daughter also said "Mom it has 2 pockets now." I asked Angel if they added pockets and she said " It always had 2 pockets!" I was like "UMM NO IT DIDN'T " At this point we just took the dress because like hello my daughter has been through so much and now to have to wait again for it to be fixed and Angel saying " Alterations are free " Like Angel no they aren't I paid for it in the dress cost. So we ended up taking the dress to seamstress who was able to put white hooks on and the seamstress noticed there was nothing to hook the bussel to as there were no hooks/thread so she also had to add that. My daughter's dress was beautiful but it was unfair what we went through. Angel was obviously very nice BUT I feel it was for show because you kinda need to be when you had screwed up the dress along the way. Anyway my daughter was absolutely gorgeous. I attached photos of the first dress the sweetheart and then the one she said was the original. I am not posting the end result as they credit is not due to Lucky Brides.

Alex was such a wonder to work with! You tell him what you like and don't like and he'll find you…read morethe perfect dress! He took his time working with me and my friends, two of us purchased a dress from him. 100% recommended wedding dress shopping with him & Anitas!

After not finding a wedding gown in the Bay Area, we got on TikTok and IG to find shops to visit in…read moreLA. My family and I drove down (8/31) from the Bay Area to hit LA bridal shops (over 2 days) in search of a plus-size wedding gown. Our trip started off rough with a terrible experience at another shop nearby, leaving us with over an hour to kill before our scheduled appointment at Anita's Bridal just a block away. We decided to walk in early to see if they had any open slots. Walking in, we were instantly greeted with cool air and a welcoming atmosphere. I met Mary at the counter, explained my situation, and asked if there was any chance I could get in early. She kindly walked me over to the plus-size section, so I could browse while she checked their schedule for the day. 10 minutes later, Mary came back with the best news: she could fit me in! Hallelujah! From that moment on, Mary was a total lifesaver. I showed her a gown on a mannequin that wasn't available in plus-size yet, and she immediately pulled an amazing ballgown alternative that I loved just as much. Mary was the first stylist who truly knew how to properly clip and fit me into a sample dress that wasn't my exact size. Honey, let me tell you--she laced me into that corset dress, and for the first time, I could actually envision how I'd look on my wedding day. She laughed with us, joked around, and her coworkers completely put me at ease after my previous bad experience. While that first corset dress was a frontrunner, the last dress I tried on stole my heart. I couldn't picture myself in anything else. And just like that...I found MY DRESS! Huge thank you to Mary and the whole team at Anita's Bridal for turning my day around and making the entire appointment so special!
