    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Johnny, Sylvia, and Ariana were very helpful and knowledgeable about the material. They offer a high quality selection of dresses that are to die for. I fell in love with the first dress I tried on and found a veil to match! So in love and can't wait to show off my dress this weekend!

    The bride to be and her bridesmaid with the best of the best, he's our JOHNNY the one that made our bride the happiest finding her dress!

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.

    March 2027 bride here! I visited Luv Bridal last week at the end of the day and had one of the best…read moredress shopping experiences ever. I was paired with a bridal consultant, Daisy, who was absolutely amazing. She lightened my nerves immediately, got a feel for who I was, and what my vision was for my wedding. I told her what I assumed I wanted and she brought us gorgeous gowns based on all of the information I gave. I did wind up saying Yes to the Dress, (I know, on the first dress appointment too!), and after having just finished up a short dress try on today, I am absolutely delighted and reassured that Daisy and her expert instincts led me to the perfect dress. It has beading, lace, and a corset structure, all in one! The TLDR of my dress try-ons is that the very last dress wound up being my dress. The moment Daisy pulled it out for me to step into, I felt as if I was about to disappoint her with my inability to commit to the dresses I'd tried on so far. This last dress was actually everything I told her I wasn't looking for, so I was already prepared to either keep looking or walk away empty handed. I kid you not, the moment I tried this dress on, I couldn't look away; my smile was out of control and my double chin was out! hahaha! I was seriously stunned and mesmerized at how I suddenly felt so beautiful and truly perfect in that moment. All I know is without the help of Daisy, I wouldn't have found my dress. I have so much respect for Daisy and her fashion school degree! That instinct was so on-point I didn't even know what I was looking for, but she asked about my insecurities or things on my body I don't want to showcase, and she found a dress that complimented my body so well. Overall, I felt so confident and looked after at Luv Bridal LA. I have so much respect and trust for Daisy, who was able to take my ideas and turn it into something so much better than I ever imagined. I never felt out of place, overwhelmed, or insecure while I was trying on dresses. If you're on the fence about trying this place out, keep in mind (1) the parking is free, (2) you can lean on the expertise of a consultant who knows the wedding industry like the back of her hand, and (3) there was never any pressure to purchase anything at all. Thank you to the team at Luv Bridal! Shoutout to Daisy, who not only found the most amazing dress for me, but also was so welcoming and friendly that it felt like talking to another best friend. I had an amazing experience at Luv Bridal and I'm so much more excited for my wedding day!

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.

    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.

    The short version is, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. I paid ~$2000 for a custom wedding…read moredress and Angel, the owner, threw in a complimentary veil, bridal robe, and free alterations. The end product was satisfactory, but not without several mistakes and unnecessary stress. Be prepared to be on TOP of the associates as the communication is nonexistent otherwise. While Angel was lovely, her sales associates need training. I wish I could have corresponded with Angel directly, as her associates seemed to not know what was going on/did not communicate. On 8/31/24, I said yes to the dress after having exhausted 6-7 bridal shops in Phoenix. I finally felt a sense of relief. I paid in FULL that day. I signed the paperwork for my dress to be ready in March 2025, two months before my wedding. The next steps were for Yesenia to send a sketch of my dress based on the designs I wanted, within a few weeks. I waited several weeks and when I didn't get anything, I reached out to Enoch (who is no longer with them). He assured me he would get on Yesenia to send the sketch. I didn't get A sketch until 11/20/24, nearly 3 months after I had already paid for my dress, and it wasn't even a sketch of my dress! I didn't get a sketch of MY dress until 11/25/24 and it looked like something she drew in 5 minutes. Very anticlimactic. After A LOT of back and forth on the finer details, I asked if the dress was ready to START production on 12/5/24. I received no response. I sent another email on 12/9/24, no response. I finally booked a flight to LA and SHOWED UP IN PERSON on 12/14 and Yesenia looked surprised to see me. She stated that she had responded production had already started on my dress, and she had sent an email but it must not have gone through. OKAY. I started emailing her again in February asking about the status of my dress: 2/3, 2/15, 2/22, 3/1. 3/1 Yesenia stated she would send me photos of my dress and book my first fitting. She never did send me photos of my dress. I had my first fitting on 3/16/25. I was expecting for all my fittings and the dress to be finalized by this point, but I was just happy there was a dress at all. The leg slit I had asked to be on the right side, was on the left side instead. Because of the way the dress was designed, it could not easily be fixed. They did not apologize for the error at any point. They did offer to REMAKE the dress, however, with my wedding less than 2 months away (5/8/25) and the TERRIBLE communication, I did not want to take that stress or risk. I had also asked for pearl buttons on the overskirt but received satin buttons. Yesenia replied that production had responded on 2/24 (to her) that pearls cost extra; at no point had she communicated this to me. She stated she would have them swapped out for the pearl buttons. On 3/27/25, I sent all the photos of the details I wanted for my veil to Yesenia. Admittedly, there were a lot of details- I wanted a cathedral veil, scallop trim with beaded edge, and for our names and the date to be embroidered. Knowing my wedding date, and that I had to leave the COUNTRY at the beginning of May, Yesenia could have prefaced that all these details would take a month+ to make- but she never stated any sort of time frame. In April, I asked if the original alterations were completed on my dress. Lots of unanswered texts. I had my 2nd fitting on 4/26, the WEEKEND before I was leaving the COUNTRY for my wedding. Luckily the dress came together, even though the leg slit was wrong. The veil was not ready for me to take home that day. Yesenia stated she could have it shipped for $8 or next day shipping for $33. I stated that I would not be paying for shipping over text, and I reiterated this again during the 2nd fitting. She agreed to wave the cost. The veil shipped on 4/28 and I received it on 4/30, a mere 3 days before leaving the country. Luckily the veil was beautiful, albeit the embroidery was smaller than I expected- but everything was spelled correctly (a point I reiterated multiple times via text). At the end of the day, everything turned out OKAY but it certainly was unnecessarily stressful and unenjoyable. I didn't have the dress of my dreams (because of the leg slit on the wrong side- and I didn't utilize the leg slit on the left side) which is crushing when you're promised it and PAYING for it. I don't recommend Lucky Brides for your peace of mind.

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.

I'm also a very type-A bride and Abagail noticed that immediately. She always made sure I was 100% happy before I walked out the store. This meant so much to me! - Fast: When I came to pick up my dress, my sleeves were too big and the tailor fixed it on the spot! Cons: - Staff: It's not Abagail's fault but she is under-staffed so be prepared for your appointments to start a little late. If you're a very punctual person like me, this can feel stressful but take a deep breath and just enjoy the experience because even if you start late, she will give you your full appointment time, plus more! - Bustle: Unfortunately my dress was so big and heavy that my bustle broke on my wedding day. I was pretty upset in the moment but honestly it was totally fine in the end. I stayed in my dress and people just had to be careful walking around me. As much as you plan for perfection, things happen but it will be okay! Overall, I am so happy I chose Q bridal for my wedding dress and I would choose them all over again if I could!!!

Even though I placed my order very close to the wedding, I was able to pick up my dress few days before the big day. I was never stressed about it once because I had so much trust in them and Abigail always kept me updated! I received so many compliments about my dress. Thank you so much again for the beautiful dress and great wedding dress shopping experience.
