Johnny was absolutely incredible and truly saved my wedding experience. After another store ordered my dress six sizes too big, I was stressed and running out of time--but Johnny stepped in and made it happen. He was able to get me the perfect dress, have it altered, and completely ready in just two months. I'm so grateful for his expertise, care, and sense of urgency throughout the whole process. The entire team at Modern Bride was amazing, and I couldn't recommend them more! read more

I'm am so happy I chose my dress here, they made it all feel special and at a great price. Their in house tailor always comes right away without an appointment and charged me about $200 to make the dress smaller. Their owner and the ladies there are very helpful! read more

Got my dress here today! So many options, great service. My dress fit so perfect and got to take it home with me same day! Definitely would recommend! read more

If you're looking for a dress in the downtown area stop looking because this is the place to go I had less than 6 months to find a dress and after spending weeks exploring the other shops nearby nothing matched the quality and value that Modern Bride offers. From the exceptional customer service to the variety of options to choose from. Everyone was very patient and kind from the manager Johnnie to the staff they all did everything possible to help me find the right dress & veil. I will forever be grateful for the amazing experience! Truly a hidden gem!! Thank you modern Bride!! read more

She said YES to the dress! Great experience from start to finish! One stop shop for my daughter's dream wedding dress, veil, and alterations! Customer service was unbelievable. THANK YOU! read more

From start to finish they were so accommodating on a short time frame and have an in house tailor! They also have amazing options, for the prices in a dream can't recommend enough! read more

All of the employees were eager to help and extremely supportive! On an already nerve wracking day, they made it easy and worked with me on short notice. Definitely recommend coming here for a stress free wedding dress shopping experience! read more

I am SO happy we found Johnnie and Modern Bride! After visiting countless bridal stores across OC and even in Vegas (which were all great), I was feeling pretty defeated/frustrated trying to find a dress I really liked that was also within my budget (budget being the biggest factor tbh). Santee St was my last-ditch effort--and I'm so glad I gave it a shot. When I called, Johnnie said they didn't have the dress I wanted in-store, but he would still able to order it for me. I was between sizes, and he went above and beyond by offering to order one size first so I could try it on--just to help me avoid unnecessary alterations. He even offered to place a second order in the other size if needed. Super flexible and thoughtful which I really appreciated since it's already nervewracking buying a dress! The turnaround was insanely fast--my dress arrived just a week after we ordered it! Johnnie is so straightforward, knowledgeable, and kind. He knows his designers, understands what brides need, and genuinely wants you to feel amazing in your dress. The staff are also honest and didn't just try to make you feel good (which I appreciated). I can't express how relieved and thrilled I am to have found Modern Bride and am really grateful for this store and Johnnie - thanks so much! read more

We just had our wedding last weekend, and it was absolutely amazing! My dress was so beautiful -- I truly felt like a Queen! Thank you to the owner and staff for being so wonderful and making the whole experience unforgettable. You all were amazing! read more

I knew this one was one of the places I wanted to look at dresses when I got engaged. Went in in December and (I believe the stylist name was Sylvia) just kept watching me and my family literally right behind us the whole time we were looking at dresses. Please be aware they only have VERY SMALL SIZES. Stylist was very rude and kept telling me none of those will fit you. There was only about 4 dresses that I could try on and they were plus size dresses which sooo big. When I tried on the dress she disappeared and told another girl to "watch" me. Absolute worst customer service and would never buy my dress from here. Do lot recommend this shop there is so many better places on this same street. read more

the customer service is amazing here!!! shopping experience was mostly effortless!! dress shopping can be so stressful, but they made it as easy as possible. read more

I give modern bride a 10/10. The store owner Johnnie went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect wedding dress and veil for my special day . He was so incredibly patient as I tried on so many dresses and sometimes the same dress over and over before I finally made a decision. Modern bride has such a variety of dresses that I think any bride can find exactly what she's looking for at such an affordable price. My wedding day was in just 3 months and I was able to find my dream dress with a delivery date of only 1 month. I am so grateful for Johnnie and the girls at modern bride who made this once in a lifetime experience so memorable read more

Horrible experience! I never write reviews but I never have horrible experiences like this. I went in to buy a veil, so I took my wedding dress I had bought elsewhere to match it and the owner guy or whoever he was didn't want to let me even pull the back of my dress out of the bag so we could make sure the veil I wanted to buy was long enough. He kept insisting my dress was shorter and I told him no it's long and when I tried showing him he kept saying he was the expert and if I didnt like it I can get my veil somewhere else. I know the reason he didnt want me to pull my dress out was because when he saw it he said "oh your dress is an expensive dress", he didnt want to show the other customers there my dress because of how nice and expensive it was but thats not my fault, I just needed a veil. He was very rude to me and my mother-in-law for no reason. Trust me, as a bride this is not the type of people you want to deal with when you are trying to have a good experience buying something so special and important. read more

Modern Bride was the second place I went to look for my wedding dress. I went to look for a specific dress because the first place didn't have it, neither did Modern Bride, but Jonny did everything to help me find a dress I loved. He pulled dresses he thought I would like based on what I told him. He even recommended someone for alterations. 10/10 experience! read more

After checking out 4 other dress shops in LA and OC counties, I came across this little shop where I found THE dress I was looking for (Sophia Tolli). If you are judging this place by the appearance, you are wrong! This place is what I call a gem in the rough. They may not serve you with mimosas and snacks and have you sit on a fancy velvety sofa while waiting for the bride to dress up. Or their ambiance and the aesthetic may not please you, but you WILL be impressed by their service, friendliness, and helpfulness. There was something about Johnnie's presence and attitude where I found comfort in shopping here. He wasn't pushy or rushing me in any way while allowing me to explore what I was looking for. With years of his experience, it was evident that he is expert in speaking to his clients and helping them easily find their dream dress. Johnnie and his team really made saying "yes" so easy! read more

Johnny and Sylvia were great. I went in with my mom, 3 sisters, MOH, my baby niece and grandma and they put us in a corner and helped find a dress with all the chaos we brought. Sylvia was friendly and helpful and i was able to find the dress of my dreams. read more

Literally the worst place I came to shop. The minute my mom and I stepped in and looking at dress we were greeted by Sylvia. She asked what I was looking for and what I was interested in. After showing her a few pictures she asked what size I was and I told her the last shop I was at they said I was an 8 (mind you this is the second bridal shop I've ever stepped foot in so I don't know sizes or how they run) she immediately snapped back "well you're here now and all shops run in different sizes so be respectful when coming in" we were in shock.... I asked her to not ask me anymore questions and just guide me to the dresses I was looking for in the size she thought I was so I can try on. I did end up trying to 2 dresses because I wasn't going to let her own personal issues get in the way of me trying to find a dress. At the end of the day she switched up her attitude and helped, but I was still pissed trying them on. I did find a dress I fell in love with so I took a picture of the dress and tag and went to another store that had it and bought there. Although I did find something wonderful, I wasn't giving my service to someone so rude. And the next store we went to was absolutely amazing. read more

This place wasn't bad, but if you're okay with settling. this is the place for you! you may find what you want but don't be surprised if they try to convince you to get something completely different because they don't have what you want. i felt pretty pressured, and the guy tried to say i was blaming the "dress" for not being what i wanted. so my experience felt rushed and not that great. read more

This location is the best because of JOHNNY! He literally goes above and beyond and does such a great job guiding us and giving us his best advice when it comes to the dress! Would 100 or 1000 percent recommend his location to family and friends! He cares and he shows it very well, and he's just magnificent well mannered and well understanding of customers need he just has a pleasant attitude we love him we all need a Johnny in our lives not just any Johnny but this JOHNNY! read more

Great service! A wide variety for all body types and amazing value. So happy that I was able to find my dress quickly and efficiently while still feeling like a princess. I normally hate shopping and have anxiety but I was so happy with how things went here. Thanks, Modern Bride! read more

We came here to shop for my sister's wedding dress. Even though I didn't purchase my wedding dress here, Johnnie did his own research and went out of his way to help me find the perfect veil to match my dress. He even put me in touch with a tailor that gave me a great price to get my dress altered. If you're looking for a boutique to find a dress and veil, I would definitely check out Modern Bride. Thanks again Johnnie! read more

I honestly didn't expect to come here, as it's an hour away from home, but they had a dress in store that I was looking at online after seeing this dress online in another boutique but they didn't have it. I had a good experience here that made up for my previous boutique experience. The staff here let me browse through their aisles of wedding dresses, which I didn't really get to do before because the other place the stylist would pull things for me based on what I thought I wanted. Here I was left alone to look at each wedding gown and when I was ready Jennifer got the wedding gowns down for me. She helped me into them, let me walk around in them, didn't pressure me into buying anything. Just how I like to shop, stress free. I was quoted a price for the dress & the price was written down on the card. I came back a week later to try it on again and ended up purchasing the dress. The entire situation was very low-key, I didn't feel pressured, and I got my dress for about the price that it's listed on online. The plus side too is that they estimated my size correctly based off another dress the designer had so that I didn't have to do size alterations. read more

I had a list of 8 bridal shops to visit and modern bride was my first stop. Everybody that's knows me knows that I have always dreamed of trying on wedding dresses, and that I was prepared to spend any amount to find "the one." I am beyond thrilled that I met Johnny first, and he helped find not one, but TWO dresses. The prices were more than fair and the quality could not be better. Customer service was spectacular! I tried on so many dresses that the girls were sweating, getting me in and out of it. They never complained or gave me attitude.The entire staffs goal was to make me happy. Johnny was extremely knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with! read more

Johnnie and his crew are the best! They helped me find and order my wedding dress, and get it shipped with plenty of time for alterations. He's very knowledgeable and super responsive over text. During your appointment, he'll advise on what dresses they have coming in within your budget / in the style(s) you want. We switched my veil a few weeks before the wedding, and they were extremely accommodating - not to mention fast. It got in a week before the wedding, with no issues. I got my alterations done by family, but Johnnie has a nearby alteration spot he recommends and has a close relationship to. The location of the store is great - near a large parking structure and other stores for accessories (I found my headpiece a couple stores over), bridesmaid dresses, etc. Thanks for everything! read more

A little disappointed with my experience at modern bride. Staff were not very friendly or welcoming. I felt like I was bothering them just being there LOL. Had a large dress selection and prices seemed to be standard, but I was more than underwhelmed with my experience. The way the dresses were displayed was chaotic and their try on area was not very nice either. read more

Worst bridal customer service. The girls look miserable with no desire to help or get off their phones. The owner was disrespectful and excuse their behavior! He stated that he did not care for our business so don't waist your time or money! read more

Went to look for a dress, there is a wide selection. Prices are not cheap but also not outrageous. The ladies helping were horrible. Not kind or even made an effort with customer service. When asking questions they just stared at their phones and didn't bother making eye contact. However, the male owner was the most helpful and charismatic. He was the only reason the experience wasn't completely horrible. read more

10 stars are deserved! Thank you Johnnie and team for not only offering amazing, stellar, customer service, but also for assisting me in finding my dream dress. Saying, "Yes" was so easy and felt right when I was at Modern Bride. I had tried on dresses at two other shops before making my final decision and boy am I glad I did! Today, I picked up my dream dress and I will be walking down the aisle proudly in my Kitty Chen dream dress from Modern Bride on my special day! Thank you again to the team at Modern Bride & Johnnie! read more

The girls here are so sweet and welcoming. I came in with my twin sister in January of this year to find the perfect wedding dress. It took me only 30mins and I found the one. In the midst of planning a wedding I lost my step father a few weeks after purchasing my dress. It happened suddenly and I postponed my wedding planning. Still healing from the pain and grief.. I was able to find the perfect time to celebrate my marriage. I had my beautiful mama by my side with close friends and family. This dress meant so much to me. I know my step dad was looking down on me. The dress was perfect for my intimate celebration and I hope more ladies find the perfect one too. read more

Out of all the places that I went to try on dresses this was by far the worst customer service wise. As many others said the male owner was very kind, but the girls that were helping were not professional at all. The lady I had would disappear and was on her phone most of the time, clearly looked like she didn't wanna help me. I went in showing her pictures of dresses I had seen on their website and she told me that they don't have all of those dresses in store which I understand. (keep this in mind if going to try on a certain dress because out of 7 dresses I showed them, they only had 1 in store) Dress prices are cheap here but they are about the same as any other bridal store on Santee alley, so it's worth walking around to other stores if you visit this one. read more

I did love their dresses. I can't deny that. However I wish they would revamp their store. It doesn't match the price of their dresses. Gowns shouldn't be mushed together and dragging on the floor. The carpet is worn and dirty and the lighting could be stronger to better accent the gowns. I found my dress somewhere else but I was considering getting one from here. The gown selection is nice. read more
