Ariana was warm and friendly, and very knowledgable. She pulled perfect dresses that fit and flattered me. She also found the special, unique dress I was looking for. The facility is beautiful, elegant and has the best selection. It was a wonderful experience!!! read more

This was my first bridal shop I visited and I am so glad it was my first! I found my dream dress after the 6th dress I tried on and it was a design I unexpectedly fell in love with on myself. Tayler was my bridal stylist at my first appointment and she is just an amazing and sweet person overall. She is very attentive to details, asks questions on what you like/dislike, and is very patient as well. I can tell Tayler enjoys what she does and she is very good at it! I eventually went to try on 2 other bridal shops and tried on at least 20 dresses at this point but I could not stop thinking about the dress that I fell in love with. I kept in contact with Tayler and informed her I would like to come back to potentially get my dream dress! Eventually, I made my way back to Bride to Be Couture and Tayler assisted me again. I tried on the dress again and knew this was my dress I wanted to get married in. The overall service at this shop is above other bridal shops I visited to be honest. The atmosphere is beautiful and everybody is very friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to come back to pick up my dress! Thank you again Bride to Be couture and Tayler! read more

I was frustrated with the dress-search process before coming here, but scheduled an appointment with Bride to be Couture on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. They had a huge selection of unique and quality dresses, and most importantly, stylists who really listened to what I was looking for. I worked with Maggie Sullivan and she was the first stylist (after several other fittings) who really tried to understand my vision for the day before pulling gowns. Every dress was an improvement upon the last and even after I thought I had found the right dress, she pulled an even better one. Maggie is incredible at what she does, while also being honest about pros/cons of each option. She's also so incredibly patient and supportive. Anyone fortunate enough to work with Maggie on their bridal journey is in the best hands! Thank you so much! read more

10/10 experience. Lauryn was prepared and was very communicative. She is the reason why i picked my dress here. She picked up on what i was liking and not liking and found my dream dress. Everyone here is transparent and my experience was amazing! read more

My sister in law suggested BTBC & I was so anxious to be trying on dresses for the first time but found my dress right away. Tayler was amazing, she was so sweet and encouraging. She made the experience very comfortable & familiar, it felt like shopping with a friend rather than a store associate. I love that they ask for a pinterest board/inspo pictures, that way all the dresses selected are similar to the ones you want and she also pulled a few others just so I can try different styles to see how they look on me. I cant express enough how much I enjoyed my experience here & i would 10/10 recommend. The atmosphere was great & all the staff were super sweet and welcoming. read more

Maggie Sullivan was amazing and attentive with helping me find my perfect dress!! She had great suggestions after we narrowed down what exactly looked the best on my body type. I'm so grateful to have came to Bride To Be Couture and met Maggie. She was so sweet and assured me when I didn't like something I thought I would have liked before trying it on. She made buying my dream dress stress-free and a fun experience. 10/10 service and she's the best read more

I was blown away how I was treated and taken cared of at this salon. Tayler was AMAZING and the SWEETEST, she listened to what I wanted but also pulled dresses that I would've never thought to try on. She was professional and caring, she reassured me that we would find a dress and we did! I left feeling like Tayler was my best friend. The store itself is soooo beautiful! I loved my experience from begining to the end. read more

Here is the thing- I'm sure a lot of brides dream of going dress shopping their entire lives. They look forward to it, know what kind of dress they want and walk into their appointments excited and ready to find their dress. That is not me. Leading up to my appointment I was having anxiety and feeling worried that I wouldn't like how my body looked in any of the dresses (thank you CrossFit and gymnastics for years of body image issues ) Anyway.. Arianna reached out to me prior to the appointment and i just shared with her how I was feeling and she handled it sooo well. She was so kind and understanding. She made me feel relaxed and excited. I went from crying before my appointment because of anxiety to crying tears of joy after finding my dress! Which I found FOUR dresses in! I was SHOCKED! I was in tears- my family was in tears- it was such a special moment. If I could have stayed and lived in the dress I would have but unfortunately my family wanted to "eat dinner" hah ALSO- the owner is a total GEM! You feel like family when you walk in. My sister Ashley got her dress at Bride to Be over 10 years ago and the owner REMEMBERED her and even found a video of her on the day we went shopping there. My best friend Kayla got her Dress there (first dress she tried on) My friend Maya got her dress there (first dress she tried on) And my friend Katy got her dress there. I have never heard of a negative experience from Bride to Be and I would 100% recommend getting your dress there to EVERYONE! Anyway thank you so much Arianna for making that day feel special, for handling my emotions and really doing everything to make my memory of dress shopping a special and positive one. read more

I spent weeks searching for a dress, everywhere from David's Bridal to Miosa. After a while, everything started to blur together, and the whole process felt overwhelming. From the moment I walked into Bride to Be Couture, though, it was completely different. I went in with an open mind, even though I thought I already knew what I liked and didn't like. I shared my preferences with Lauryn, and she immediately understood the vision. She pulled what ended up being my dream dress, and I fell in love instantly. To be sure, she had me try on two more dresses, but she already knew. She's truly magical. The very first dress she picked was the one. I'm so grateful for her patience and kindness, it was such an amazing experience. Thank you Lauryn and BTBC team read more

Erin knew a bit about what I was looking for due to my attending their sister store a week prior. She called me up to discuss what they had and wanted to relay to me that they might not have exactly what I've been looking for. I told her I still wanted to attend. It's a good thing I did because she ended up finding my dress! I said yes to the dress that she picked out. She was funny and kind and so supportive. The service there was fun and inviting and accommodating me and my party with drinks and snacks. I have not yet received my dress but I did get word that it shipped so I can't wait to see it again!! Thank you, Erin! read more

I'm still so in love with my dress and the custom made sleeves! It was such a fun way to change up my outfit for the reception whole still wearing my GORGEOUS DRESS. read more

I live in the Bay Area and shopped at several other bridal shops before finding Bride to Be Couture! This store is so AMAZING. I cannot recommend it enough! Their inventory is huge and their service is impeccable. Tayler was my stylist and I would have thought she worked at Kleinfled, she was that good. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel so special and beautiful throughout the process. She is a true gem and you can tell she loves what she does. My bridal appointment felt like a dream come true! I ordered a custom dress and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. I also had alternations done through Bride to Be couture as well and he did a fabulous job! I even ordered my veil and had that customized too. I highly recommend! read more

This was the third dress shop I went to and it was a perfect experience. The selection of dresses was absolutely beautiful with so many styles to choose from. Laurny was amazing at listening to what I wanted and helped me find a dress that was even better than I imagined. She was so patient and her input on what went well with my body type, style, and coloring was perfect. The whole process was so smooth and all the staff members were incredibly helpful. I couldn't recommend this shop more. If you're looking for a bridal boutique that offers great service, gorgeous dresses, and a supportive environment, this is the place to go! read more

I bought my wedding dress here and I was the most patient person they can possibly have. They measured me and ordered dress. It came in probably 2 sizes too big. Instead of turning around to Pronovias and requesting a smaller size dress, they acted like they were doing me a favor by charging me $1,000 for all the alterations. The best favor they could have done would have been to call Pronovias and tell them their dress ran big to send a smaller size. I live in San Jose, so it wasn't easy going there. Every time I went, the level of rudeness was overwhelming. They acted like I was buying an off the rack dress. One of my visits was before 5 pm and they were in such a hurry to leave, they didn't give me time to look at the dress. It had stains when I brought it home. I drove 4 hours just to have 2 stains removed. They wanted to compensate me $60 for gas! My latest update is that I did call Dina and e-mailed her. If Dina wanted to make things right, she has my number and all my information along with my money. On top of that, I have found snags (not one but many) on my dress where the top was attached. This only tells me that this place had NO intention of helping me out. Don't buy anything here. There's a bridal store down the street. read more

LOVED this bridal shop! I had such a great experience working with Arianna. She made me feel comfortable the minute I walked in and her attention to detail to what I was looking for was so meaningful to me. Arianna truly made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. I said yes to the dress and I'm so grateful for her help. She made my experience feel so special, and I'd definitely recommend her to any bride! read more

Update: Maggie nailed it! Out of all the shops ive been to hands down the best service and understanding of what I truly wanted and she saw exactly that! She found the dress I said YES to forever grateful for her. If you want someone who is knowledgeable and understands exactly what you want or looking for, ask for Maggie! Wonderful experience from scheduling to arrival to meeting Maggie. The location and inside is beautiful making you feel like you're the moment. I'm excited to return with family and friends to say yes to the dress! read more

Both of my best friends have purchased their dress here and I couldn't wait to schedule my appointment. Arianna is the BEST stylist you will ever work with! She is top class AMAZING at her job and made me feel so special! She listened to everything I asked for and gave me so many ideas. The entire staff was just as kind and sweet. I am happy to say that I walked out of there saying "yes" to my dress! 10/10 would recommend for brides finding their dress! read more

I had an amazing experience here! I was so nervous at first and wasn't expecting to find my dress at the first appointment so I scheduled a few more at other places, but ended up canceling those appointments. Arianna was so wonderful and helped me the whole way through, I was able to have friends and family with me and it was just the best experience. It's such a beautiful store and the experience felt very personalized and was so genuine. My sister and friend had gotten their dresses here too and I can totally see why and highly recommend checking them out. Everyone was so friendly too, I know I made the right choice. read more

I came here with my sisters and mom for the first time not really knowing what I wanted. Erin was just ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at her job and showed me all the options to really narrow down my search - all the dresses presented to me were so beautiful, by the way. I fell in love with two dresses but couldn't decide. The staff were also so supportive and so sweet. They even offered us mimosas or champagne! Fast forward one year later, I reached out to Erin again not knowing if she'd contact me back or even remembered me, but she did! I explained to her my vision and that I wanted a dress resembling the two dresses I had fallen in love with the previous year. When I went back, Erin exceeded my expectations and worked really hard to help me find my dream dress - which I did! TOTALLY SHOP HERE! They will make your dreams and visions come true. There was not one dress that I tried on that I did not like. I was so impressed with the quality of these dresses too! read more

I loved my experience at Bride To Be Couture, everyone was so friendly and I was very comfortable with my stylist. Arianna was able to answer all of my questions and she made me feel seen, heard and beautiful! The designs that did not quite work were a great foundation for me to decide what I wanted and she presented alternative options. The variety of options allowed me to fully customize my dress with designers from Elizabeth Lee and make a one-of-a-kind dress. I came in to try on a specific dress and was lucky to have come in during the Elizabeth Lee trunk show. I fell in love with the fabric that had a hibiscus print on it. It was really special to me since my mom was wearing a dress with the same flowers on it and my fiancé's mom's last Christmas gift to me was a gold hibiscus necklace. I was able to have both my mamas present in selecting and designing my dress. Truly a special and memorable experience here and I am grateful to have connected with the staff here. What they do matters and they create the wedding magic. Arianna is a gem and a beautiful soul. I'm glad I met her through this process, she made it so easy and fun! All the pretty dresses needed a moment so I included some of my favorite photos. read more

I found my dream dress at Bride to Be Couture! With such a large inventory of dresses, finding a wedding dress can be overwhelming but I had such a smooth experience. Arianna was my stylist and she did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and special. I appreciated her reaching out to me prior to the appointment so I could show her some inspo photos beforehand. She understood my vision and provided a gorgeous selection of dresses. From there, she helped me narrow down what I truly wanted in a dress. I can be indecisive at times so I appreciated how I did not feel rushed at all. Before I knew it, I said YES to the dress as well as a veil that matched it perfectly. I am so excited to see my finished dress in a few months. So thankful to the Bride to Be Couture team for a seamless bridal experience! read more

I SAID YES TO THE DRESS! In full disclosure I was at the point in my wedding dress shopping where I knew exactly what I wanted. I mean, I had tried three different bridal stores and just hadn't found "the one". But even before I stepped foot in Bride to Be Couture, I had a really good feeling about booking my appointment. They have glowing reviews online and their selection of dresses had such a wide variety (and large quantity!) I knew I would find it here. As soon as we (my mom, sister/bridesmaid) and I walked in, we were greeted and directed to our dressing room area where a super cute welcome sign awaited us. Arianna, my stylist, greeted us and walked us through the process and asked a few questions about my vision. Then she got this gleem in her eye and said "okay - I know what to look for. I'm going shopping, I will be right back!" and it was in that very moment I knew she was going to find the dress for me! Side note - when she said "shopping" she meant it. This store is HUGE! With over 2,000 dresses, I cannot imagine any bride walking away without at least having a very detailed vision of what she's looking for in her perfect dress. To wrap things up - I only had to try on two dresses. The first one Arianna picked was gorgeous, but the second one she picked was THE ONE!! As soon as I put it on I could not stop staring at myself in the mirror, my eyes got foggy, and I finally had that "WOW. I'M A BRIDE!" moment I had been looking for. My mom and sister were bawling too of course. It was a perfect moment. Arianna made me feel beautiful and genuinely cared for. She is such a professional and even brought in Dina (the shop owner and alterations pro) to chat about what we could do to tailor this dress exactly to my vision. I will say, I really appreciated Dina's realistic approach to alterations. She brought out a measuring tape and told me exactly what they could AND couldn't do. (This was my first experience at an appointment where the sales person wasn't just "selling" me. Like "Oh, yeah we can do anything you want!" and honestly that was a HUGE green flag.) I bought my dream dress then and there. I cannot wait to come back to pick it up and for my alterations appointment. I truly wish I had just started here from the get go. THANK YOU BRIDE TO BE COUTURE! read more

I was so nervous to go wedding shopping and even though I didn't get my dress here I felt like I should review because it was such an amazing experience. Lauryn was my stylist and she immediately made me feel so comfortable and excited. She was so excited to show the black wedding dresses because that's what I asked for, and I was nervous going in about my unique wants. She did an amazing job picking out stuff based on my interests and I can't thank her enough! You're awesome Lauryn! read more

I went to go look for my wedding dress at Bride to Be and was helped by a wonderful woman named Erin. She asked many questions to ensure that she was picking within my price point as well as the style I preferred. Erin was so sweet helping me find the perfect dress!

My experience shopping with Arianna at Bride to be Couture was nothing short of amazing! From the very moment I reached out, she made sure that I felt supported in every way on my bridal dress journey and spent many hours talking through exactly what I was searching for. The dresses and brands they carry are gorgeous, and everyone is incredibly kind and helpful. I would, without a doubt, recommend going here for all of your bridal dress needs! Thank you Arianna and Bride to Be! read more

You can improve your communication and stick to a refund when a dress is not accurate and you don't respond.

Had the best experience finding my bridal gown here! My timeline is tight so was shopping from the sample sale. They take great care of their samples and I had so much variety to choose from. My stylist Lauryn was warm, kind, funny, knowledgeable and made the process seamless! Tayler was also so helpful in placing a sample sale dress on layaway for me while I made my way in town to try on the dress which ended up being the one. Highly recommend this boutique! read more

I would recommend Bride To Be Couture to all future brides in the Sacramento Area for dress shopping! Their selection is varied, and their consultants are knowledgeable. I cannot speak more highly of Tayler, who made me feel so comfortable and didn't bat an eye at my sometimes indecisive self. Any little question my entourage had, she would pull something from her bag of tricks to allow us to visualize the final product. She had trouble seeing my Pinterest board, and somehow, the first dress she pulled was exactly what I was looking for AND in my price point. :) I tried on many more, but nothing beat out that first dress. We ended up getting that dress! Be advised that all sales are final and that you'll sit down with a manager to finalize your purchase via contract. If you're even planning to go to another salon, make sure to be 100% sure before you buy. I'll be back once my dress comes in for alterations. I'm looking forward to it. read more

She was able to cater to everything I wanted. Arianna made dress shopping a wonderful experience. She is so sweet and down to earth. She genuinely makes you feel so special and like your best friend.

Best bridal shop in Sacramento! After having a couple bad experiences at other bridal shops, I honestly didn't have high expectations going into my appointment. I'm happy to say Bride To Be exceeded my expectations. Tayler was SO welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable. She made my moment feel special and reassured me that we will make my dream dress come true (I was nervous with my wedding being a little under 6 months away) Thank you SO much Tayler and staff!!! read more

Updated. Here's photos of my dress from the big day. Since this initial review I ended up picking a different dress and it was truly an emotional process. Arianna, Dina, and Anthony are the reason why the process still ended beautifully and like a dream. Communication was perfect, empathy was perfect, Arianna being my advocate when I was overwhelmed perfect, I felt like family by the end of it all. The ONLY thing I wish happened different was that my dress was fully ready to go with the buttons we added all at my final fitting to ensure I knew what I was walking down the aisle with. It made me nervous come wedding day as that seam in the front of the dress was my favorite part, and I didn't get to see it fully pressed until wedding day, and it didn't lay right when I walked. But alas, it was beautiful, and that's only the alterations, that does not take away from my entire experience, I still got married in my dream dress. Dina and her team bust their butt to make this salon the way that it is! Thank you to everyone here you truly are all amazing so much love! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at Bride to Be Couture, and that was all thanks to my amazing stylist, Erin! From the moment we walked in, she made me, my mom, and my grandma feel so welcome and taken care of. Erin was incredibly sweet, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She really listened to what I was looking for and pulled such beautiful options that matched my Pinterest board perfectly. What stood out most was how generous she was with her time. She didn't have an appointment after mine and encouraged us to stay as long as we needed so I could really think through my decision without feeling rushed. That kind of care and thoughtfulness was everything. Even though I ended up saying yes to a dress at another shop, I can confidently say the experience Erin gave us was unmatched. I really wish we could have purchased from her, and I'll be recommending her to every future bride I know! She made the dress search feel fun, special, and completely stress-free. I'm so grateful we got to work with her! read more

The ladies here are so welcoming and kind! I'm searching for an alternative wedding dress and these ladies did not disappoint!

It's beautiful and the dresses are gorgeous and endless! read more

**In response to your reply to my initial review** I am unsure how my review is "misleading and dishonest" considering the fact I backed it up with proof (see pictures below). I do agree that all brides should read all honest reviews as mine is. ***Update on the situation*** I was given an ultimatum: either pick up the flawed dress as is within two weeks of being notified, or be charged $500 and forfeit the dress entirely. I was forced to take it back in its defective condition. read more
