Bridal Shops in San Francisco, CA

“Nicole was my stylist and she was absolutely lovely. Although I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, she ensured I felt comfortable and helped accessorize every style I tired on. I would encourage brides to identify which dresses they are interested in trying on during their appointment from the website beforehand - helps with timing and gives the stylist an idea of what you’re interested in.

Very thrilled to be a Sarah Seven bride! Thank you, Nicole!”

“The studio is absolutely beautiful with an amazing view of the city. The associates were extremely helpful and overall the whole experience was so well thought out. This studio is far above all other shops in SF.”

“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!”

“Worked with Nancy designing my DREAM dress! Was a lot more affordable than any dresses I had shopped for. Nancy was AMAZING through the entire process, had great ideas and was super thoughtful keeping me informed through the entire process. I loved my experience here so much!!!! Will post pics of the dress post wedding :)”

“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 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 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.”

“Tailor Made did an incredible job with my wedding dress this summer!! The dress I brought in was several sizes too big and needed a lot of work to fit my 5’2 frame. They were so kind and amazing to work with, and on my wedding day the dress fit like a glove. It was so comfortable to wear and dance in all night, and the tailor even did a bustle to make dancing easier with the long train. Thank you all so so much for making this dress so beautiful.”

“I love this place! The designer is very professional. She helps me to pick up my wedding dress and I was able to get my dream dress. My family and friends love my dress. I would highly recommend this place.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Bella Bridesmaid. I was going to be in an upcoming wedding with only 6-8 weeks to purchase a dress. Bc of my time frame I chose from dresses that were already in house. I was still given plenty of options to choose from and found a dress that I was able to order in a different color and size, to fit the them of the wedding party. The dress arrived with plenty of time and was a total hit at the wedding. I received so many compliments. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely shop there again.”

“An absolutely professional tailoring shop, I HIGHLY recommend this place!

I needed a barong for my wedding earlier this year, and this place came through! The owner sources all of her Barongs and designs all the embroidering.

Turn around time for the tailoring was pretty much to be expected given that I had plenty of time to have the adjustments made. :)

Go to this spot for your alterations and Barong Tagalog purchases!”

“I recently visited Dark Garden and was really impressed with the variety of corsets and the amazing staff. The corsets and clothing are constructed with very high quality and unique fabrics. Everything in the store feels luxurious. While the corsets and clothing are pretty amazing so are all the employees including the owner. From the second you walk in you’re greeted by the friendly and warm employees. They made me feel so welcomed and comfortable (seems rare these days) and allowed me to step out of my comfort zone. Seriously, you get a nice self-esteem/confidence boost after wearing the corsets and clothing in here. You can’t help but feel beautiful after shopping at Dark Garden. I’ll definitely be returning.”

“The best « outlet » bridal shop in the Bay! Ended up getting my dress (I specifically wanted silk) from another shop but they have the best sample sale dresses, with a lot of sizes (not just size 8, I am a 2/4). Fell in love with a Carolina Herrera dress in amazing condition at an unbeatable price, and it was an almost perfect fit

Staff is nice! I highly highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Marie, the gracious owner did a wonderful job of helping me find my perfect wedding dress! She was patient with me as I tried on dress after dress, still looking for specific details and fit. She listened and guided me to styles that I preferred and flattered my shape. I appreciated her willingness to accommodate my needs. When we had questions about whether certain alterations were possible, she connected me with her seamstress, so that I could feel comfortable before purchasing the dress. I would highly recommend Paris Connection Bridal to make your bridal dreams come true!”

“Carol at Novella Bridal was fantastic to work with for my wedding dress alterations! Her practical, no-nonsense approach made the process efficient and stress-free.

- Kind & Efficient: Carol focused on the essential alterations, ensuring my rather simple dress fit perfectly without suggesting unnecessary adjustments. Her kind nature and efficiency kept the whole process straightforward and even enjoyable.
- Great Value: While I didn’t do much research because I took this high recommendation from a friend, I think her rates were reasonable, and she provided exactly what I needed without going over the top.

Overall, Carol’s expertise and practical approach made my minor dress alterations a breeze. Highly recommend Novella Bridal for anyone looking for quality work!”

“Fantastic experience. Love Irina and the team, and love my dress :)
Went to 3 or shops and this was definitely the best. Irina paid attention to my tastes, and suggested a dress to try on after I’d tried on a bunch that was very flattering.”

“Took a flight from LA to SF to shop for my wedding dress at Kamperett and... WOW!The experience was excellent.Val was so helpful, honest, and her designs are heavenly. If you truly want to look like a piece of art, come to Kamperett.”

“MY NAME IS DONNA TETIVA
I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF HARRY’S JEWELERS FOR. OVER 40 years. THEY ARE OUTSTANDING HONORABLE MOST TRUSTWORTHY I WILL NEVER THINK OF GOING TO ANYWHERE BUT HARRYS. HARRY I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY”

“Grace designed my husband’s and mother in law’s clothing for our wedding tea ceremony. She was super patient and helpful throughout the whole process, and the clothes were beautiful! Would highly recommend.”

“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.”

“If you want a one of a kind experience and a true personal touch in your wedding dress journey...GO see Joan! She will take the time to get to know you and your style. I appreciated that Joan was willing to share her opinion when I asked for it and because of her I know I will feel great on my wedding day. She is dedicated to her passion and work. Thank you, Joan!!”

“Very helpful ladies here, We came over here w my fiancé to check out some wedding dresses, they were so helpful and answered all of our questions and worked with our budget. Thank you”

“I had an incredible experience at the Bridal Galleria this past Saturday! I visited 4 bridal gown stores that weekend. The Bridal Galleria was #2. Parking was very easy. Out of all the stores, this one had the best lighting and mirror. Haily was my helper. She was very easy to connect with, understood what was important to me and my crew very quickly, and grabbed all the right dresses that were all within the right ballpark. Beyond just clipping me in, she helped me in and out of the dresses, grabbed veils, had me hold a bouquet so I could see the whole picture, and made sure I tried on the sample gown. She really went above and beyond. I almost left with the most stunning Berta gown 50% off. I also specifically requested to try the Alexandra from monique lhuillier. They didn't immediately have it so they made sure to get it for me in time for my visit. They didn't pressure me at all and let me sleep on the decision, reassuring me that I could always email them to secure the dress later. I'm so grateful for this experience and how wonderfully they treated me, my family, and my friends.”

“Lovely was one of my first dress appointments, and Zen set the bar high for stylists. She did her research on my style and venue and selected dresses for me to try that were all stunning. I also enjoyed browsing through the racks with my group to see if there were any other dresses that caught my eye. Zen is so knowledgeable about all the dresses and made the experience fun and easy!”

“Support it! Saw it on the news. Does it have to be done in the third level? I am Chinese living in Miami, and there is no such custom-made cheongsam here. I'm not in California. Can you provide me with the measurements and mail one to me?”

“Misia and Sue ARE LITERALLY LIFE SAVERS!!! It was the night before my wedding and as I was steaming my dress, I found a little bit of a loose thread/rip in the front of my dress and they were about to close but were SO sweet and told me to come on by. LITERALLY ANGELS!!

And when I say they saved me, I mean, they SAVED ME!! Cause I needed to be at city hall by 8am the next morning. Then Sue found that other pieces in the front (similar to what had broken) that literally were also needing to be re-enforced or else it would happen all over again.

Also, my veil was completely wrinkled from my flight over here and they also took care of that for me as well!

While I waited, I learned about their hand detailing and process. Misia went into detail about the care they take with EACH dress and I just couldn't believe how meticulous they can be!

The place can be a little hard to find but they're nestled between Frascati and Luxe Places International Realty.

I highly recommend them, especially for their superb attention to detail. I wish I lived in San Francisco to have dresses done by them. Actually I might come back because they are starting to do custom wardrobe and if I had more time in SF, I wish I could shop.

The sweetest mom/daughter who the highest attention to detail. I absolutely recommend them!!!!!”

“I just wanted to thank Silvia Latin Bridal , I have always had a great experience there ! My sister got her Quince dress there many years ago , I hoped one day to have a daughter so I can experience planning a Quince for my own daughter ,so when my daughter was born we were so excited and laughed and said one day she will have one . As years went by we started planning and she was in a Quince and I went to Latin Bridal to try on her dress .. I was so excited but nervous and we started asking Silvia questions when should we start planning..what would we need ..She was beyond helpful and gave us so much advice ! So I knew we found the place I would return to start planning our daughters most important day of her life.. When we started I felt the excitement and Silvia treated us as if it were the first Quince she has done , you could see in her face she was happy for us and knew it was the only time we would have this event for she is our only daughter . We not only had the upmost best service but it felt like she was a family member, I never wanted the day to come or end we had the best time planning it , Omg we got every dress at her shop , from the Madrinas , little girl, the whole court , she even rented tuxedoes to match the theme , this is a one stop shop!!!! She has so many beautiful treasures to make your day beautiful from not only head to toe , but pillows , jewelry,glasses, jewelry holders, I can't even go into detail and amazing everything turned out !!!! It was truly one of the best experiences of my life and I will forever be grateful ! We will always come back ! This is definitely a one of a kind shop !!”
