2274 Union St, San Francisco“I had the best experience working with Mary at Bridal Breeze! I went into the store not sure if what I was looking for even existed, and I found one that was perfect (plus several others that were also beautiful, just not exactly what I wanted). I think the store has fewer dresses that some of the other stores I went to, but they were all perfectly curated, so I was trying on one beautiful dress after another! They also post their entire inventory online, which was really useful for me beforehand, as I was trying to decide whether it was worth the drive from the south bay all the way up to the city. It definitely definitely was! They do not do alterations, but they have a few tailors who they recommend. I've heard horror stories about other shops ordering dresses multiple sizes too big so they can gouge you on alterations, so I'm happy to have avoided that conflict of interest. My dress pretty much fits, just needs some minor adjustments. Do note that the store is very small, so they can only handle one bride at a time. Definitely make an appointment before you go.”
“I recently went to Janene's to try on dresses for the first time. They can get quite busy on the weekends so I'm glad I arrived as soon as they opened on a Sunday. Nora assisted me throughout the entire process and was extremely helpful. She had me choose specific dresses I wanted to try on and she also chose one which I ended up loving. She talked me through the entire process and gave me information on how dresses would end up being altered to give me a better picture of how a dress would actually end up fitting. I would highly recommend Janene's and Nora!”
“I was not looking forward to wedding dress shopping. I felt overwhelmed by the whole process and the amount of options that are available. I am so glad that I made an appointment at Wildbride! Their shop is so calming and beautifully decorated and the staff are awesome. I immediately felt at ease when I walked in. They ask you to go through their inventory online before your appointment and have a list of dresses that you’d like to try on. This was helpful for me as someone who was still trying to nail down what I was looking for. After they spoke with me a bit more and looked at my dress choices, it seemed like they knew what I wanted even better than I did. In the end, they pulled a dress for me that I didn’t ask to try on and was not expecting to like, but it ended up being my dress! I had heard that it’s pretty likely you’ll end up with something that you didn’t expect for yourself, and that was definitely true in my case. I am so grateful to the staff at Wildbride for making the process so easy and enjoyable!”

1301 Castro St, San Francisco“My wedding dress journey started as a lonely sad scene when visiting other SF stores, but ended nothing short of magical after going here! A long review coming up...I stumbled upon Nancy at Lace and Liberty by some miraculous stroke of luck after trying dresses I hated elsewhere (I lived just up the road but hadn't thought I could ever have a dress from here). With Nancy's expertise, I crafted the most special dress for my big day. I can't thank her enough!I live 5,000 miles away from my best gals and my mum (my entire bridal party is overseas & on a different timezone), so when it came time to shop for my dress, I wanted honest feedback, not just sweet compliments from new friends. All my new friends were telling me I looked great in everything (which was nice of them), but most of the dresses just did not feel like me. That's where Nancy saved the day.After some back-and-forth (on my side because I'm indecisive), she offered to meet me solo one evening to bring my vision to life. Just me and Nancy, no entourage of kind new friends. We found the dress and it was such a mix of emotions—gratitude for their kindness and a tinge of loneliness, picking my dress without my loved ones by my side. Nancy felt like the friend I needed at that moment - which sounds insane as I hardly know her, but she was just so supportive, honest and kind. Most girls remember their wedding dress shopping because it was such a lovely time with their family or bridal party. I will remember mine for how kind Nancy was.Anyway, fast forward to sharing a photo of my dress with my best pal of 15 years, and her response was pure gold. She said Nancy designed a dress that was "me" in the best possible way... Even my hair stylist—another close friend overseas— said she's no longer going to anything too wild with my hair because she knew the dress deserved all the spotlight. This was truly the ONLY dress in San Francisco that suited my personality, and it was designed by Lace and Liberty.Speaking of the dress, it fits like a glove, but I'm opting for a few tweaks around the chest area to ensure absolute perfection. I plan to wear it for a solid 12 hours and hide an old tattoo so I will alter it a tiny bit, but it's SO perfectly fitting otherwise (honestly, I cannot explain how well it fits). I keep putting it on at home when nobody's around - should probably stop that before I ruin it.HUGE thank you to Nancy and the Lace and Liberty team—thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

600 The Embarcadero suite a, San Francisco“I purchased my wedding dress from Sarah Seven in Chicago. When it came time to clean the dress, Sarah Seven recommended using Elegance Preserved. I was concerned because their operations were not local, but they made the process SO easy! Not only were they excellent at communicating and diligently tracking my wedding dress as it was shipped (even sending me tracking updates), they also were very clear in their communication of cost and services. I had a lot of dirt on the bottom of the dress and spray tan stains (especially around the armpits), and the dress came back in excellent condition. I cannot recommend Elegance Preserved enough!!”
“I had the best time at GLL and I found my dress!! My stylist Pooja was super friendly. She ended up recommending the dress I said yes too. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Can’t wait to share pictures of the final product.”
“Just a wonderful, hands on experience all around! Jin is so lovely to work with and the location and view cannot be beat. Purchasing my dress was a great experience!”
“I highly recommend this place. The owner is very friendly and has a good service. They have a lot of wedding dresses and different styles. I'm very happy with my dress.”

755 Sutter St, San Francisco“Team there is great. Easy to make appointments online and they can give a rough estimate before going in which was helpful. My alterations were simple but they did a great job.”
“Marie is a consummate professional with the most tasteful selection of gowns. She is a true expert in her field, who listens & helps you find the dress that best suites you. The Justin Alexander collection she carries is of superior construction & quality. In her words, “I believe there is a bridal gown for everyone,” & in my opinion, if you are in search of a bridal gown, ‘The Paris Connection’ with Marie should be your #1 stop in San Fransisco. You will be hard pressed to find better service or a more exceptional experience.”

1000 Irving St, San Francisco“Yun yun does an exceptional job on all of the items I've brought to her but especially these Peter Do tuxedo pants that I wanted a bit shorter. She did an amazing job and they came out just what I had wanted. She is so talented. It's a plus that she has a a great haircut too, which she cuts herself! - truly has a great eye for things.”
“I had a very successful fitting at the Glamour Closet, on a weekday afternoon, with Veronica and Samatha. In particular, Veronica's patience, attention to my unique needs, and her knowledge of their inventory were exceptional. The dress I chose in the end was one that she selected for me, and I could not be happier. The vibe was calm and helpful, down to the extent of alterations that could be done to fine tune the fit. I would recommend the Glamour Closet for anyone looking for a wedding dress.”

321 Linden St, San Francisco“I had been a fan of Dark Garden for years! A friend of mine passed down a used underbust she purchased from their store ages ago, and I had a good time wearing it to an event. I've always wanted to visit the store in person, and finally had my chance when I went to their store to visit their business neighbor, Revelation In Fit. The ladies in Dark Garden were really nice and directed me to my appointment, and also invited me to check our their store afterwards if I had the time. Which I did, and I did.Kay and a new clerk (my apologies for not getting her name, but she was awesome and gorgeous, and I wish her all the best in her new position at the store!) helped me out in trying on their demo corsets. One overbust model and one underbust model. The fitting results from the models I tried (Eden and Valentine) were BEAUTIFUL! And Kay was knowledgeable and encouraging. I really appreciated her help!Since it was after another appointment, i wasn't prepared to go all-in on a corset at that time. However, I WILL make my way again to "Dark Garden" to fully partake in their beautiful delights. I'll want to get a corset (or two) to help bring some special drama to my wardrobe.Thank you so much for such a fun experience!”

833 Market StSuite 601, San Francisco“My younger sister and her husband recently had the pleasure of exploring the exquisite wedding dresses at Selena Judy Bridal, and we were truly impressed. As we perused the collection, it quickly became apparent that the design, aesthetic, and materials of these dresses were exceptional. Rarely do you find all three qualities converging in a budget-friendly range, making this discovery all the more remarkable. What truly sets Selena Judy Bridal apart is Judy's unwavering commitment to her passion. The fact that they offer such high-quality designs at accessible prices speaks volumes about their dedication to their craft. It's refreshing to see a boutique prioritize quality and affordability without compromising on style. Our experience was further enriched by Judy, a professional fashion designer with an impressive industry background. Despite her considerable experience and reputation, Judy remains grounded and passionate about her work. She guided us through the process with patience and expertise, ensuring that we found the perfect dress for my sister's special day. I can't recommend Selena Judy Bridal enough for anyone in search of a wedding dress that embodies elegance, quality, and affordability. With Judy's talent and dedication, you'll find yourself in capable hands every step of the way.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Nelly's! Don't let the busy location in south San Francisco deter you , it is a wonderful, down to earth, family ran bridal shop that is worth going to.
I was thankful that owner Nelly was able to fit me in on short notice, and I appreciated her flexibility. While parking can be a bit of a challenge with only residential parking, it's not impossible. I recommend allowing some extra time to find a spot so you can arrive on time for your appointment.
Once inside, the shop feels warm and welcoming, with a cozy family atmosphere and an impressive selection of dresses. Nelly herself is a delight - warm, personable, and knowledgeable. I went in with a vague idea of what I wanted with little experience in dresses generally speaking. Nelly's expert guidance helped me find the perfect dress. It wasn't what I initially thought I would go for, but it's truly stunning!
You can tell this is her passion and will go above and beyond for her soon-to-be brides which made this once in a lifetime experience amazing . I loved every moment of my visit to Nelly's and highly recommend it to anyone searching for their dream dress.”
“Brie is absolutely wonderful!! She’s helped me, my bridesmaids and my mom all find perfect dresses for my wedding!! She’s patient, positive and so helpful. Couldn’t recommend her and Bella’s more. So easy to work with.”
“I was glad that I found this place. I was 5 weeks away from the city hall day so I have a super tight timeline. I originally found the gown at another place that they really tried hard and pushed me to get it on the spot, which I didn't like the way they do business. So when I visited Novella and saw the same gown, I knew I am getting it here. With the tight timeline and I was also pregnant, they had Carol take a look of it right away the same day I triand see if ordering the gown and alteration will be doable with the timeline. I wasn't pressured to get the gown on the spot or asked to pay expedited shipping fee. I called them in the next few days to commit the order and got a quote for alteration, which I think it's a fair cost in the market. My body changed quite fast due to pregnancy and we had fitting multiple times just within the few weeks. Carol had to wait till close to the date to do the waist. At one point I couldn't zip the gown because my belly grew too much after a big lunch and Carol panicked a bit. We managed to get it work. She altered the last part two days before I picked up the gown to make sure the right fit. The gown turned out really nice, the waistline area was just so smooth that it rests just right over my belly smoothly. It didn't look like I was 6month present, not that it was intentionally to hide, just the transition was perfect.”
“So happy with the purchases and the alterations with geneth, i highly recommend her. The barong were gorgeous and comfortable, the ones my family purchased in the Philippines were itchy. I'm glad i took my husband here for fitting :) my baby's barong sleeves were adjusted for free. Overall highly satisfied with this place.”

1790 Armstrong Ave, San Francisco“One of my treasures is a Deb Caperton ring from her Julep series. Deb captured the imperfect quality of the leaves as they are in nature. When I wear it I am happily reminded that life is perfect in the imperfections when we are lucky enough to see them. I was able today to get one of her assemblage pieces from her Sisyphus series. I've been eyeing it for a while and am so happy I was able to get it. Meeting Deb and learning about her work was a delightful experience and added one more layer of patina on my appreciation of the piece.”
“Georgette and her team saved my wedding dress!I ordered my dream wedding dress from a different store that ordered my dress two sizes too small and then ruined it with an extremely poor tailoring job. Three months before my wedding, my mom reached out to Georgette for advice and Georgette became my absolute angel! She went above and beyond to help me navigate the difficult situation with my credit card after the original store refused to refund my money.Given Georgette’s experiences and expertise with the Elysee/Enzoani dress designer, she was able to expedite an order for my original dream dress in the correct size, began alterations within a week, and then worked with my busy schedule over subsequent appointments to make sure the dress fit perfectly in all the right places. They even tailored my veil so it matched perfectly with my dress. Everything was pressed and beautiful for the day of my wedding. Their tailor Marie is professional, patient, and very meticulous. Their work is such high quality, all-inclusive, and well worth the price! My dress fit perfectly, and I felt so beautiful and so comfortable! Without the Papers and Petals bridal team, I would not have been able to wear my dream wedding dress and feel as beautiful as I did. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust to help navigate the confusing and expensive wedding dress industry.”

27 N San Mateo Dr, San Mateo“The ladies at Nouvelle Vogue helped my sister and I try on their beautiful gowns! If you're looking for one of a kind dresses that are high fashion, don't hesitate to visit this store. The level of service and help is amazing!”
“I booked an appointment for bridal hair and makeup with Christy based on her portfolio photos. I didn't choose to do a trial beforehand. She was very accommodating and communicative throughout the scheduling process. When I came in for my appointment, I didn't really have anything specific in mind only that I wanted my hair up and a bright makeup look vs natural. My hair and makeup turned out perfectly. She was very sweet and gentle during the entire process. I got a lot of compliments during my wedding. Her studio was very cute and clean too. I highly recommended Christy for bridal hair and makeup.”
“We were trying to find someone who could replicate an outfit that had unfortunately been ruined. I found Julie took her the original outfit, and when I picked up the one that she re-created, it looked exactly like the one I had. I was so excited!! She did everything down to every detail, and it was just so beautiful. I will never use any other dressmaker besides her.”

“Love and Luxe is a DREAM. They are so welcoming and kind. Kai helped me and my fiancé through designing my engagement ring with an heirloom diamond and was so patient, knowledgeable, and supportive through the whole process. Kai took my thoughts and turned them into my perfect ring. She was so nice even when I changed my mind and had a million questions!! Betsy did an absolutely incredible job finishing my ring exactly how I pictured it. I am so thankful to have found this spot and less than a month later am back for more.”
“Arena is the absolutely best. Had the best time with her and she is extremely knowledgeable. I love that they are located in a super charming classic old SF building. All around great experience!”
