    Accessory try on with Andrea!
    Jordan C.

    I didn't end up purchasing my wedding dress here, but I had such a great experience at Brides for a Cause. They allowed me to bring in my own dress and try on different accessories, which was incredibly helpful. I came by myself and Andrea truly made the experience--she was knowledgeable, attentive, and offered so many great ideas to help me achieve the look I was going for.

    Found my wedding dress here, would recommend to all future brides looking for dresses at great prices! I'm size 14 and only Wishing they had a bigger selection to choose from but other than that the workers are attentive and very friendly!

    I had to give this update from my wedding day Here's my dress I purchased at Brides for a Cause!!!!!!

    I said yes!!

    Honestly such a 10/10 experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Elaine (who was such a sweetheart) and already felt so comfortable. Brooke was the one that helped me through out the whole time I was there. She truly is the definition of a girl's girl! I really did love the freedom I had to browse around and try on dresses. Not once was I pressured to pull the trigger on any of the dresses I've tried on. I ended up saying yes to the dress here. :)

    if your looking for a wedding dress store that's under 1000 i definitely recommend you come here!i came here with my mom from orange county after finding out about this place on tik tok.i had andrea help me and she was so kind and helpful!i picked 3 dresses to try on with the help of andrea mainly. the first dress i tried on it wasn't going down my hips so i had to say no and then she came in and showed me this beautiful lace dress with a train and i immediately tried it on and i fell in love as soon as i saw it and didn't need to try on any other dresses. andrea was so helpful and kind and understanding of my budget so these 5 stars are for her.

    Cute little shop in North Park! Make a reservation so that you can use a fitting room! The reservation system online is easy and it also lets you put in how many guests you would like to bring in (I think you can say up to 2 but can call in to see if you can squeeze in a little more). The dresses are organized by size - I was told you would want to check out dresses about 2 sizes up! Dont be shocked if you're wearing dresses not in your usual size. I got to try on dresses in various styles and price points. They also have a range of price points so definitely affordable! The staff members are lovely and help answer questions and clip the back to fit your form better. I definitely recommend this place! Also follow their social media since they have some days with discounts! I.e. they had a 30% off end-of-year sale off all dresses!!

    THIS PLACE IS A HIDDEN TREASURE!!!! All brides should go here. Not only are you buying to support an amazing cause but the selection and choices are so diverse and fun. The girls assisting really get down with you and make you feel listened to and supported. THE VALUE WAOW wedding dressing def break the bank but not here. Some dresses initially 4k when originally owner purchased and now only 1k or lower. Also the condition is pretty spot on. Parking is a bit tough in the heart of north park. I would suggest a weekday You go through racks of dresses and it's in order by size. You typically pick your street size and go up 2 sizes so lots of dresses to choose from. They get dresses from multiple designers and bridal stores and previous brides!! They get new dresses every month. Go go go!!

    Gorgeous selection

    I recently went to Brides for a Cause in North Park with my friend, who's getting married in June! She'd visited their Sacramento location before, so while she was in San Diego, we decided to check this one out as well. Brides for a Cause is such a unique bridal shop--it's a nonprofit that resells donated wedding dresses to fund women's causes. Dresses come from designers, stores, manufacturers, and brides from all over, and the result is an incredible selection! The vibes here are so welcoming and relaxed. Unlike some bridal appointments, you're free to browse as you like, and my friend could try on up to five dresses at a time. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. And the deals? Amazing! My friend tried on a dress that retails for nearly $11,000--brand new--being sold for only $2,000. Wow! She ended up putting a dress on hold, and I'd honestly recommend this place to anyone engaged. Brides for a Cause is a wonderful experience with an inspiring mission and a phenomenal staff.

    The most memorable experience! Truly, it felt like a dream almost like a game show. I went to David's bridal last week to get sized and find what style dress best fit me and to get that "traditional" bridal dress trying on experience. So I went to Brides for a Cause prepared! I had high hopes but didn't know what to expect. Upon arrival staff was so sweet, she walked us through the process and let us know she was available to help with any questions. I reserved my room 60 minutes and brought my mom and aunt. I highly suggest bringing two people to help you hold and carry dresses (5 at a time) from the rack to the dressing room and help zip you up. I found my dress on round two of going out to the floor!!! With taxes my dress was $538. I did some research and my find retails for $3750! Totally worth the trip from Riverside, CA.

    Overall a 10/10 experience. I emailed the shop beforehand and asked if they had anything similar to what I envisioned. Elaine replied so quickly. Shortly after, I booked an appointment. In the shop, I loved being able to move at my own pace. The dress I ended up buying was originally $400 but I got it 50% off. Amazing deal! They also gave me a list of alteration and dry cleaning places that they recommended. Amazing staff!

    Not the dress I got but was so beautiful!
