Inside decor.   Help from Jenn today on 3/8/26
Melodee Marie G.

Thank you to Jenn for the amazing service for my friend. My friend said yes to the dress and we have gone to multiple stores but this one was so welcoming and not intimidating at all. There was a huge selection of dresses and they were all priced at a decent value in comparison to the others! I would definitely come again and recommend this place to others. Having a reservation is recommended and will allow you a couch, snacks, drinks, and a comfy area for those watching the bride and hoping to experience the yes to the dress!

This bridal shop has very beautiful dresses and a variety of options for various budgets. We made an appointment for a weekend, and ate at the nice Italian restaurant next door before hand. When we arrived for our appointment there was a sign welcoming all the brides by name. They introduced us to the woman who would be working with us and the bride explained what she liked and they went around to gather several dresses to try. There were a lot of brides there that day so it was sometimes tricky to navigate around everyone moving around at once. They offered those that came with the bride snacks and drinks which was nice. The assistant helped with getting in and out of the dresses and finding more. She was very nice and helpful and we didn't feel rushed. The bride did find one she likes but is still searching to be sure before deciding. Id highly reccomend invluding this bridal shop when looking for your dress.

The team at Luv Bridal made it so easy and fun to find my wedding dress. I don't like shopping, so it's a big deal for me to have fun shopping. 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!!

Isabel was so amazing and so respectful of our bride's wishes

Isabel was incredible! She was a gracious, enthusiastic stylist. The shop is so gorgeous and clean with a ton of selections from dresses that are plus size friendly to accessories. I really appreciated how respectful they were to budget and preferences, no one tried to talk her into trying something different and they gave her so many options. 10/10 would recommend and return!

I had such a wonderful experience at LUV Bridal in San Diego, and I have to give a huge shoutout to my stylist Isabel. From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed. They had a sign with my name on it, snacks, drinks, and the whole atmosphere felt celebratory and relaxed right away. Isabel was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely excited to help me find the right dress. What I appreciated most was how quickly she understood my personal style and the overall vision I had in mind. She really understood the assignment. Every dress she pulled felt aligned with my personality and the vibe I was going for. She also worked so efficiently and helped me try on as many dresses as possible without ever making the experience feel rushed or overwhelming. She kept the energy fun and positive the entire time, and her friendliness made the whole appointment feel easy and natural. Dress shopping can sometimes feel stressful, but Isabel made it feel joyful and seamless. You can tell she really cares about making the experience special for each bride. If you're going to Luv Bridal in San Diego, I highly recommend asking for Isabel. She made the entire experience memorable, and I'm so grateful for her help!

This showroom was incredible!!! I came in with a tall order: my wedding in under 4 months and this being the only dress appointment I had made. I needed something off the rack and they absolutely delivered. First of all, they have a sign in front with the names of all the girls coming in that day which was so cute and made you feel so special. My stylist was Aylen, and she KILLED it. She was immediately so warm and welcoming and really eased my *unnecessary* nerves right away. I showed her my few inspo pics and she went right to work. She took me back and got my measurements, then showed me where to look for off the rack dresses in my size. While I browsed she went looking in their backstock. Upon returning she asked if I had found anything I liked. Then went through some other options and asked my opinion on them. I have a really hard time speaking up for myself, so I was nervous about feeling comfortable voicing my opinions if I didn't like anything. Aylen couldn't have made it easier. She never made me feel like I was being too particular or inconvenient at all. I tried on about 6 dresses in all, and honestly loved them all. Not only my stylist, but every girl in there made me feel like a million bucks. I loved the look of tighter dresses but didn't know how I'd feel about having my tummy on display. Every dress I tried they all were hyping me up and it felt so genuine I really had some confidence walking out. I also love that she wasn't afraid to snatch me in. The one I ended up getting was perfect. It was off the rack, but had literally never been tried on so I still got it brand new. She said when I showed her my inspo pics she immediately thought of it- goes to show how good she is at her job. It was right within the budget- everything I was hoping to find and more. Also worth mentioning: my stylist was with me the whole time once we started trying dresses on. She held my train behind me while I walked (I wasn't used to walking with it so I was nervous about tripping lol), and fluffed it out behind me when I stood in front of the mirrors. I had mentioned wanting lace sleeves and she got me a pair to try with all my dresses so I could see it all together. She also put a veil on me everytime I came out. I just can't express enough how thankful I am for her attentiveness. She gave me everything I was asking for, and didn't try to sell me on anything extra. I really appreciated that. I can't thank Aylen enough for being such a pivotal part of a very important day. Thank you all so much!!! Definitely recommending to ANYONE looking for a wedding dress. Would give more stars if I could.

My 2nd choice dress!

These are the kindest, sweetest, most amazing people ever. From my first appointment over a year ago, to the help I've received today, I cannot thank them enough. Michelle has taken so much time and energy to help me and I'm so grateful to them. Definitely get your dress here, and trust them!!!

Welcome sign!

I have nothing but the best to say about Luv Bridal and my beautiful, amazing stylist Ainsley. I knew this was going to be a special store the second I walked in. There was a sign that said 'Welcome ____' and a list of all the girls with appointments that day! It's such a small detail but I think it adds such meaning and thoughtfulness for an event as special as finding your wedding dress. It set a precedent for what we were to expect at the store. The area where your guests sit and wait for you is just as you'd imagine and see in the movies: huge mirrors, show lighting, drinks and snacks galore. One of the highlights of the experience was my queen Ainsley!!!!!! She took notes of what I was looking for and started picking beautiful dresses in my price range (never pushing me to go higher than what I specified which I was nervous about!). The very FIRST dress she pulled and I tried on happened to be the ONE. Ainsley made me feel so comfortable the entire process and really championed what I wanted and what felt best for me! Not to mention her kindness and going above and beyond to treat me AND my family that I brought with me with so much care - she even set up a tripod so my cousin could watch on FaceTime! All in all, Luv Bridal has 5 stars on Yelp for a reason!!!!!! Even if you don't find your dress here (I'm sure you will), you will leave having had such a fantastic experience and seeing such beautiful dresses!

Emily did an amazing job at making the whole experience special and exciting. She is very knowledgeable and so helpful. I can't thank her enough for all her hard work and creating a very memorable day for myself and family.

My dress!! Hopefully no one sees!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! Wow where do I start??? Queenie, thank you so much and the team at Luv bridal, I went to two other shops that left much to be desired. Queenie was texting me a week out from my appointment creating a profile for me. GREEN FLAG. She was sweet and empathetic, asking me about my needs, wants, and wishes. Upon my arrival I was amazed by the selection, elegance, and organization of the shop. They had SO MANY refreshments and snacks to choose from. The process was so pleasant and exciting, Queenie is this best, she made me feel so comfortable, she was professional but so personable. This was the best bridal dress shopping experience I have ever had. NOW THE DRESS. HOLY HECK. My dress blew all expectations out of the water. I was feeling a little defeated in the process of looking for a dress. The first dress I tried on was the one, I couldn't believe it. The price was unbelievable, half the amount of many of the other dresses I tried on and I could never commit to any of them ... I would have paid triple the price for the dress. Queenie found the most perfect veil to give me the touch of lace I was looking for. Thank you again Queenie for making this once in a lifetime time experience amazing for me! I will never forget it!!

I live in San Luis Obispo now but grew up in San Diego, so I wanted to go through the dress search with my parents, who still live there. This was the first boutique I went to, and even though I visited two other bridal boutiques afterward to compare, neither came close. Samantha helped me from the start. She listened to what I was looking for and pulled dress after dress until we found the one, no pressure to decide quickly. It took about a month and a second visit before I said yes. She's also the one who pointed out how many possibilities there were with the dress, including adding straps, and told me the alterations team could make it happen. She always made me feel comfortable and was so easy to talk to and be honest with, which is exactly what you want when picking out your wedding dress. Mary handled my alterations. My dress was originally strapless, and she made beautiful, romantic lace straps out of the same fabric as the bodice. They were detachable, but I ended up wearing them the entire wedding. She also built cups into the dress, so I didn't have to deal with fitting adhesive inserts myself, which can be so tough to get just right. That made such a huge difference, one less thing to worry about on the day. She also went through several bustle options with me, more than once, until we landed on the right one. She helped me feel confident about my shoe choice too, and we talked through what jewelry would complement the overall look. The whole team was also really thorough with communication. Before each fitting they'd let me know what to expect, how much time it would likely take, and what to bring. That helped a lot since I had to fly back for fittings, including one trip that was 24 hours round trip (totally worth it). If I had to do it all over again, I would. Thank you to the whole White Flower team for making the experience so special and memorable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for their perfect wedding dress!

From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. If you are looking for an intimate, stress-free dress shopping experience with your loved ones, I highly recommend upgrading or making sure you reserve a private suite. It made the day feel so exclusive and special. The boutique provides a beautiful, comfortable space with refreshing non-alcoholic beverages, and the price is incredibly affordable for the high-end level of service you receive. A massive thank you to my stylist, Precilla! She was absolutely amazing, attentive, and made me feel so supported throughout the entire process. She really listened to what I wanted and made the appointment unforgettable. When I got a bit carried away with all the options, she gently steered me back toward my ultimate goal of finding my dream dress. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I had gone to one other traditional boutique and felt a little rushed because I hadn't had time to browse the racks before my appointment and didn't know what kind of style I wanted. So the more laidback vibe of BFAC was appealing to me as I wanted to peruse at my leisure and I was able to try on any style dress I wanted. I booked a solo appointment so I could just try on what I wanted, but not having someone there to help with zipping up made me a little slower with the dresses. The girls were able to help with zipping and clipping when I needed it. I was able to try on 8 different dresses (of varying degrees of condition). Most dresses were priced under 1000 but I did see many that had broken zippers/ripped seams/sold as is that would need repair. I ended up going a bit over my appointment time but the girls were so gracious in giving me more time, probably because I was there alone. Also I'm normally a 4 in street size but they recommended sizing up so I was looking at dresses between 6-8 which they had significant stock of. I stumbled on an absolute GEM of a dress that was a sample by Maggie Sottero. It was the second dress I had tried and it fit like a glove, was in pristine condition, and was so beautiful. The girls were so nice in hyping me up. I felt so pretty and comfortable in the dress but I didn't have the wow moment or tears so I was actually unsure if that was "my dress" but they were able to hold it for me for 24 hours. The hold was nice but stressful for me because I wanted more time to think about it (which is the nice thing about traditional stores that have normal stocked designers where you can try on a dress and return weeks to months later and still be able to buy it, but if I didn't buy this one, there wasn't a guarantee it would be there again next time). I ended up going back the following day (no appointment needed) to try it on again and styled it in different ways to see what alterations I would want and I realized I would be devastated if I passed on it and would regret not getting it right then. When I was paying for the dress, the girls actually said they had just gotten the dress in too so if you don't find a dress initially, check back again because it seems their stock rotates frequently and you might be able to find a really good quality dress for a fraction of the cost (I ended up saving 70% of the retail cost at BFAC).

So fun!!! Felt so supported by worker Brooke and got so much advice…read more I loved this journey and recommend to everyone !!! I found my dress

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!

I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge round of applause to the incredible team at Here…read moreComes the Bride and Groom! When I first walked into their cozy little store, I was incredibly nervous. I honestly didn't know what to expect, and I was really hoping the experience would be successful. I was getting married in just five months, and I had been told that wasn't a lot of time, especially since wedding dresses can take three to five months to arrive. I also had quite a large group with me, and I knew there were going to be plenty of opinions! But from the moment I was greeted by my consultant, Shelley, I immediately felt like I was in good hands. Shelley took the time to sit down with me and really get to know what I was looking for. She asked if I had a vision for my dress, and I had to laugh because, honestly, I really didn't. I wasn't one of those girls who had dreamed about her wedding dress her entire life. I truly had no idea what would look good on me, and more than anything, it was important to me that whatever I chose felt authentic and true to who I am. Shelley asked me thoughtful questions, listened to my answers, and then we went back to look at dresses. I must have looked completely overwhelmed at one point because she said, "Why don't you go ahead and have a seat? I have three dresses in mind that I'm going to bring to you, and we'll take it from there." So that's exactly what we did. I put the first dress on and thought it was very pretty. I liked it, but something just didn't quite click. I went out to show my group, and they agreed. Then I went back and put on the second dress. The moment I stepped into it, I knew. It was the one. There was only one little problem: it didn't have nearly enough sparkle for me! I definitely wanted more bling. Shelley immediately assured me that wouldn't be a problem because they have an in-house alterations team, and their alteration specialist could customize the dress exactly the way I wanted. That was a huge relief, especially with my wedding only five months away. I was nervous about the timeline and worried there wouldn't be enough time for everything to come together. I ended up choosing a sample dress right off the floor, which meant I didn't have to worry about ordering a dress and hoping it arrived in time. I was absolutely thrilled that I had found my dress, but I was still a little nervous about the customization. About six weeks before my wedding, I came back to meet with the seamstress, and in walked Karla. She was amazing! I showed her pictures of what I had envisioned, and she looked at everything and simply said, "No problem." She made me feel completely confident that she could bring my vision to life and told me she would see me in two weeks. Two weeks later, I came back for my second fitting and was greeted once again by Shelley. The dress fit like a glove, and everything was coming together beautifully. Then I was told to come back in another two weeks. When I walked in for that fitting, all of the additional sparkle and bling had been added -- and it was even better than I had imagined! Karla had completely transformed the dress and somehow managed to make it feel even more like me. I picked up my dress just two days before my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the final result. I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day. Looking back, I am so grateful that I walked into Here Comes the Bride and Groom that day. I started the process nervous, overwhelmed, and completely unsure of what I wanted, and I walked away with a dress that felt authentically me -- and an experience I will always remember. I just want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to Shelley, Karla, and Rebecca for all of your patience, talent, hard work, and care throughout the entire process. You truly went above and beyond, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. Thank you, Here Comes the Bride and Groom, for helping make such an important part of my wedding experience absolutely wonderful!

At previous salons I felt those concerns magnify. But with Rosa I felt safe. She made my friends and I feel so incredibly special, and she just knew what would look good on me. She did a great job clamping the dress to fit me and just made me feel so good in my own skin. The dress is truly amazing, and in such a large part that's due to her. Fast forward a few months there was a hiccup in delivery, not at all the fault of Brides of SD, but I was so anxious. Lonnie, the owner, saved the day. Lonnie made sure I got my dress and on time. Special shout out to Mya who called with updates at every turn and honestly just made me feel so calm and safe. I feel grateful she was there and I hope she has the wedding of her DREAMS cuz she's also getting married soon and boy does she deserve it to be perfect. Ok but DONT GET ME STARTED on Lily the seamstress. That woman is a magician. My dress fits like a glove, my boobs look amazing, that's ALL LILY! She did such meticulous work so fast - she's truly amazing. All this to say, the road to my dress had a significant bump, but Brides of San Diego came through for me, and my dress is next level perfect. Thank you for making sure my dream could become a reality

This was my third stop in the wedding dress search and Nicole made the whole experience amazing!…read moreShe asked all the right questions and was very attentive to what I was saying and picked up on cues I expressed that indicated I had found the dress! It was a private and intimate experience and you can easily tell Nicole is an expert in her profession. She made me feel comfortable and said such amazing and positive statements to increase my confidence in the dress and overall experience.

I tried on numerous dresses and I initially said yes elsewhere but I was having second thoughts. My…read morefriend who purchased her dress at Lovely Bride, told me to check it out and I'm so glad I did. I had the most amazing experience at Lovely Bride with Delaney! She was so awesome! Her welcoming and bright energy just made trying on dresses less stressful. I tried gowns from the Made With Love collection and was drawn to the concept that they were "customizable." Delaney showed me various necklines and laces from other dresses. All of the dresses I tried elsewhere had certain features and elements that I liked, but they never checked all of the boxes. I loved everything about the Made with Love Dress, and the fact that I could modify the neckline (with designer approval) was pivotal, and ultimately why I said yes to the dress! I walked away from the appointment saying how much fun I had, and my sister-in-law agreed! I'm so excited to come back and try on my dress in a few months! Thank you so much again Delaney!
