Mrs. Cecile is AMAZING!!! We had such a great experience during our consultation with her. Her place is very clean and spacious and not to mention it is a private experience with just her and your bridal party. She has so many dress options and knows what she is doing. My bridal party of 8 ladies were there, including my Mother as well as my MIL. They also found dresses they loves as well. Mrs. Cecille has so much experience and she is able to recommend dresses that are flattering for all body types. I am recommending her to all my friends and family. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Cecile is exceptional, I found her business on Yelp and never looked back. She is well informed and has a wide selection to choose from. Thank you for your attention to detail read more

Looking for bridesmaids dresses? This is your place! Ms.Cecile has so many options for all body types. She was incredible with me and my bridesmaids. She is very kind and tries to work with you to make your wedding day the best. Also, her seamstress did a very good job at altering my wedding dress! My train was too long, and I asked her to shorten it a bit. It came out perfect! If you are looking for bridesmaids' dresses, go at least 2-3 months before your day. The dresses have to be ordered, shipped, and, if needed it altered! read more

Cecile Rivoire's - Bridal Near Me - Glendale, California

I went to Cecile for my bridesmaid dresses. All of my girls went to her store and tried on a few different dresses that I pre-picked out a few weeks before. Her shop is small, but she has a whole lot of dresses! Cecile knows what's flattering and will tell you whether or not a dress looks good on you. If you want someone who will get the job done, give you fair prices, and is no-nonsense, Cecile Rivoire's is where you should go. She's not the most nurturing person but she is efficient and gets the job done, which is most important in my book. Be sure to schedule an appointment or you're probably not getting in. read more

I found Cecile through the Dessy website. Its a private suite so you get a one-on-one experience with her. Cecile was really sweet and helpful. She has so many dresses there so she'll help suggest different styles just so you have options. I would recommend if you're looking for bridesmaid dresses read more

I worked with Knar and she is absolutely amazing. I bought an A-line wedding dress and decided after the fact I wanted a more fitted dress. Knar practically made me a brand new wedding dress! She altered the top since it was a tad too big. And she completely changed the silhouette of my dress to exactly what I wanted! She's very reasonably priced as well! There was a bit of a language barrier as I do not speak Armenian, but we made it work! She is so sweet and you can tell she truly cares to have a happy bride. I would highly recommend! read more

Cecile is a dream to work with. She made my experience effortless and extremely enjoyable. She goes BEYOND any job you will find if you are looking for dresses for your wedding party. She is reliable, knowledgeable, organized, talented with a great fashion eye, as well as being caring, kind, generous with her time and makes you feel so special the moment you walk into her place. She took care of everything from tailoring advice to the ordering, shipping, and follow-up calls. My niece, mom and dad who went with me at different times are still talking about how lovely she made them feel in what they were all trying to accomplish. I am glad she was in my life during this critical time in my life when looking for the wedding party dresses. I advise not going through any online service when you can have her attention to detail. I am so full of gratitude for Cecile. read more

I had such a great experience working with Cecile to choose bridesmaid dresses for my wedding. She has been in the business for many years and knows her stuff! The thought of selecting bridesmaid dresses was a bit daunting for me, but Cecile made it easy peasy! I described what I was looking for and she showed me all the options in different fabrics and styles. She also knew which styles look best on which body types, and was able to provide sound advice on achieving the look I was going for. Two of my bridesmaids were taller than average and she recommended they order a longer dress, which was an extra $10 charge. Ultimately they didn't end up needing this extra length because the dress arrived super long to begin with in its regular length. That's perhaps the only critique I would have, but otherwise, it was such a pleasant shopping experience, and one of the less stressful tasks I had to complete for my wedding. We were in and out of there with our dresses ordered within about an hour and a half! I like that her business niche is specifically bridesmaid dresses and mother of the bride dresses, and would highly recommend her! read more

Shopping for a bridesmaid dress with others who were out of town we located Cecile Rivoire's. She was able to locate the perfect dress in just the right color to match the other gowns. Her study is lovely, she is a total professional and full of great ideas. Thank you for making the day so perfect. read more

Cecile was so wonderful to work with! My wedding was on 09/26/15 -- I'm just getting to my reviews now because I'm such a procrastinator ... BUT ... brides and bridesmaids, come to Cecile's shop! She is situated in the heart of Glendale and even though her shop is small, she has every kind of dress you can think of. She gives not only the bride a royal treatment, she does for the bridesmaids as well. She is easy to work with, communicate with (email, phone, text, etc) and she LISTENS to you AND your bridesmaids! She tells you the truth in terms of how dresses fit someone's body and whether or not it is appropriate for the type of wedding you have in mind! My girls tried on several dresses and she patiently helped all 3 of them in and out of numerous dresses until we found the perfect one! She informed us of the turn around time and arranged for their fittings to be done with her own recommended seamstress. She also arranged for another seamstress to alter my wedding dress to be perfect! Even though I didn't get my bridal gown through her, I was able to do my final fittings at her shop. I would consider coming here for a special occasion dress anytime! Make sure to CALL and make an appointment first -- for very good reason .. Cecile gives you her undivided attention during your shopping process. Have fun! :) read more

Cecile Rivoire's - My bridesmaids in what they said was a VERY comfortable dress! Color is in Bordeaux. - Bridal Near Me - Glendale, California

I haven't been into the store yet - but I already have to rate Cecile well for her initial customer service. I inquired about a bridesmaid dress over email and she responded within 24 hours with an answer and her number. I spoke to her on the phone today and she was able to confirm the exact dresses I am looking for, gave me very reasonable pricing information, and let me know how soon I should come in to order. It's not common these days to experience great, friendly customer service so I had to speak up about it. Need a bridesmaid dress - email Cecile! It's not always an easy experience to try on a bunch of dresses that probably won't fit you well - so it makes a big difference to have someone be nice and helpful during the process. I'm looking forward to going there to try the dresses on and meet Cecile to tell her in person! read more

If you are looking for a pretty woman experience of service, you have come to the right place. Cecile was so beautiful and accommodating. My brother recently got married in a last minute full-blown wedding. He was getting married to a friend of mine that I met in the cast of 'Tony-N-Tina's Wedding' ironically. Due to the 7 week notice on this full blown out of town wedding that I was to stand up in and M.C. for (no pressure), I needed a bridesmaid dress fast! I am very curvy and needed something flattering in coral and with next to no notice. Cecile had me try on all of the floor samples. I fell in love with one that was slightly too small, and had a snag in it. It was the perfect color and style though. Cecile said not to worry. She said her seamstress was a miracle worker. Indeed she was! Because I wanted the dress shortened, they took off the snagged layer and the bottom, and used the cut off fabric to fit the bodice with side panels to alter the dress to perfectly fit me. In just a week and a half I had all of my fittings and hemmings were done (4 all together.) She even had back up heels when I forgot to bring mine for the hemming. (Shame on me. I was a theatre major and know better). They made sure it got put first in line due to my time crunch and gave me a floor model and a cash discount. They were so sweet and efficient, and fun to talk to. It was a bridesmaid emergency, and they really came through. I put up a pic of the finished product. It turned out absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much Cecile. I will send all of my friends there. When it's my turn to be the bride, you can be sure my local gals will be coming to you too! XOXO! -Megan read more

Attention Brides! You have to stop by Cecile's and check out her dresses. She has all the colors and styles a bride might be interested in. It's easy and she had the best pricing. I ordered 8 dresses from her and the quality and comfort was exceptional and my bridesmaid loved the dress. I would highly recommend her and her shop for all the new soon-to-be MRS. read more

Cecile Rivoire's - Bridal Near Me - Glendale, California

I was very excited to bring my bridesmaids to Cecile since making an appointment with her was so so easy. We went in the afternoon and it was definitely not what I expected. Firstly, you will spend a good amount of time sitting down because she shows you two dresses at a time and you get to pick which you want to try on. This is fine but just something that was very different and time consuming, my girls know what their styles are so it would be much easier for them to have gone through the dresses themselves. The reason why I gave one star is because of Cecile's professionalism and mannerism. One of my girls is broader fit, Cecile claimed that she doesn't have any sample dresses that would fit her. She purposely singled her out, told her to wait and said at the very end she will be able to pick the ones she likes and Cecile will help put them against her so she sees what it looks like. This isn't my first shop for bridesmaids, never once have I come across an issue where the store doesn't have sample sizes for all types of bodies. The worst part about this was she said this comment in front of everyone and made my friend feel very very insecure. To top it off, when you sign her contract to get measured, at the bottom in big bold letters it says "I WILL NOT GAIN WEIGHT". The entire time I was there, I felt embarrassed and very uncomfortable that I put my best friends through this. She has a ton of beautiful options, but if you can go elsewhere, do yourself and your friends a favor and do so. read more

Cecile is AMAZING !! So kind and so sweet ! extremely patient and made magic happen with such short notice ! our experience was easy and pleasant . She's very welcoming and makes sure you feel comfortable. She has excellent suggestions and I will definitely go to her again ! read more

I found Cecile by searching Yelp reviews. I liked everything that I read and I called her for an appointment. She got me in the same day. I had been looking for a Mother-Of-The-Bride dress for weeks prior. Finding Cecile was the best thing that happened to me regarding the dress! Cecile was wonderfully warm and friendly. She had me try on tons of styles and was completely patient and helpful in helping decide which would be the best dress for my body. I can back 3 times and kept trying on dresses and narrowing down my selection. She never pushed me to decide or made me feel rushed. I decided on a dress and Cecile called me when it came in. Then the real fun part began! She had me pick out lace to match the dress and we decided together on where to put the lace on the dress to make it a one-of-a kind! The results were stunning! I got so many compliments on the dress and I felt like a Queen wearing it. I wish I could give Cecile 10 Stars! The entire experience was a pleasure.. from the picking of the dress right down to the price which was ridiculously affordable. If you are looking for a stress-free pleasurable experience getting a wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses or MOTB dress...this is your store! read more

This is probably the best shop for dresses in town! Cecile was attentive, so sweet and personable and was there only to cater to you as the appointment are only one at a time. Much better than these chain stores that assist 3 or 4 people at a time. Cecile also recommends to you her seamstress whom is amazing as well. Will highly recommend! Woth so many gown choices and colors this is one stop shop for gowns! Prices of the reasonably priced and Cecile is able to alter the look and fabric of your gown for a good price. read more

Cecile Rivoire's shop is the go-to for bridesmaids dresses that are both elegant and modern. Cecile was wonderful in helping my bridesmaids find unique dresses that were consistent with each other.

Highly recommended! read more

Went to Cecile Rivoire's yesterday for bridesmaids dress shopping. She had a wide range of colors, fabrics, and dresses available. Her service was simply amazing. She made us feel very welcome, did not rush us, and was not pushy. It was truly a pleasure working with her to find the perfect dress. Will definitely return for other occasions and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special dress for any occasion. read more

Cecile was excellent throughout my entire experience. She knew exactly how to calm an anxious bride (me) and was very patient with my bridesmaids. Her selection was so huge, unlike any of the other places we had gone in our three month search. I was on a time crunch with two months left until my wedding and she did what she needed to to make it work in time. Her prices are very reasonable and you can really tell that she cares about her brides and bridesmaids! Highly highly HIGHLY recommended. I should have started at Cecile's instead of wasting 3 months!! read more

My bridesmaids and I had an 11:15 am appointment at Cecile's one Saturday. We arrived right on time, but Cecile answered her storefront door apologizing and saying all her co-workers were going to be late that day. Not the best first impression. As other reviewers have noted, the store itself is claustrophobia-inducing small. You walk into the store and...that's as far as you'll get. (To give you an idea, I have four bridesmaids in all and we were cramped in that space.) Upon looking around, most of the dresses were on racks that seemed piled up around us and perhaps to excuse this hot mess, Cecile claimed that she was gearing up for a fashion show the next day. Instead of letting us look around ourselves as in most dress shops, Cecile asked what we were looking for and pulled dresses from out of the chaos herself. I felt like a kid at Ollivanders Wand Shop, watching the owner of the shop meddle through the hoarders-esque wares. The store carried both brand-name and original designs. After pulling a few dresses that the girls had already tried on before, she questioned us as to where they were tried on (at Karoza in Glendale--they actually have a better selection, so try there!) and claimed that was impossible since only certified dress shops could carry that brand name, blah blah blah. Long story short, many of the dresses were either repeats of what we'd seen before or were WAY too tacky/pageant-licious for our tastes. Granted, one of the dresses that ended up being a final contender was cheapest here, but with the shady cash-only requirement and the obviously overwhelmed and frazzled Type-A-Personality store owner (another customer came in and she almost imploded from the stress), we finally decided to purchase bridesmaid dresses elsewhere. Future brides and bridesmaids, unless you're really trying to pinch a penny or get a custom-made gown, save yourselves the headache of visiting this shop. read more

Cecile Rivoire's is a one stop shop! Cecile is truly a bride's dream -- she makes bridesmaid dress shopping SUPER easy and is beyond accommodating. There are a plethora of designs to choose from in her store and she works with major brands so anything could be ordered in. I was able to find dresses in less than an hour and the dresses shipped with plenty of time for us to make alterations. My mother and aunt also bought their gowns from Cecile; she spent so much time with them to custom design their look, they felt like stars! Highly recommend Cecile for any busy bride - she is one of a kind! read more

Cecile is great! She operates out of a little office suite, not a shop, so it's just you and her, no distractions. When I dropped by, I got to try on a bunch of dresses over an 1.5 hours (she didn't have an appointment after me) and she was so nice and patient. I'm a wayward bride who can't seem to find anything I like in bridal shops (I am a woman of simple/cheap/out of style taste). Cecile was completely understanding and made me feel completely at ease. She wasn't fake or pushy as bridal consultants can be. She was really listening to nail down my sense of style. She also made plenty of great suggestions on how I could make things look more bridal through alterations. Apparently you can add or fake a train on bridesmaid dresses. Who knew? read more

Cecile is awesome! I found the bridesmaids dresses I wanted my girls to wear in a magazine and I saw that she carries the dress, so I reached out and heard back from her almost immediately! Cecile is very prompt, professional, and SO sweet. She really made me feel like she cared about my big day, which is something most businesses in wedding industry don't make a priority. She provided detailed instructions and made it super easy for the girls to place their orders and submit payment. And most importantly, all the bridesmaids looked fabulous at my wedding :) Thank you, Cecile!! read more

Cecile Rivoire's - Bridal Near Me - Glendale, California

This review is long over due. When I first started planning I was shocked on how difficult it was to find a place that offered good quality, affordable bridesmaid dresses. I searched high and low in LA but was always disappointed by the selection of dresses. Until I found cecile on yelp. I called her and left a message and was impressed on how fast she responded. I was able to come in the next day. I actually went back 3 more times and each time she welcomed me with open arms and gave me the same great customer service each time. I finally decided on a strapless blush dress for my gals. The color was exactly what I had been looking for and the girls looked stunning! Thank you cecile for making dress shopping so easy. Check her store out she'll take the stress out of dress hunting. Happy planning! read more

Cecile Rivoire's - My beautiful bridesmaids! Thank you cecile! - Bridal Near Me - Glendale, California

Cecile mis-measured my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding. This led to buying a dress that was 2 sizes too small. Instead of identifying the error, I was accused of gaining that amount of weight. Accidents happen, own up to 'em. Ended up splitting the cost with her, but she really should've covered it in its entirety. As a business in the wedding industry, it's apparent she's not looking for customer loyalty. read more

I remember coming to Cecile's several years back when I was a bridesmaid for my cousin's wedding. We had such an easy and enjoyable shopping experience, that I knew I wanted to stop by Cecile's when it was my turn to pick out bridesmaids dresses. Although the store is small and unassuming, she has so many options. I was looking at a few brands online (Bari Jay & Dessy) and she had a pretty large variety of sample dresses and swatches. In addition to the variety, her pricing can't be beat, even if you order directly from the manufacturer. She easily saved me at least $25 per dress and when you have a large bridal party the savings add up fast. Cecile is also easily available via email, phone, or text. My best friend and my sister in law also purchased their bridesmaids dresses from Cecile. For reference, I ordered the Dessy 2882 (Taupe) for my bridesmaids and the Dessy 2894 (Taupe) for my maid of honor. read more

Incredible! Cecile is the best! She gave me and my bridesmaids her full attention, focus, listened to my thoughts and worked with us on price! I left her store and went somewhere else and had the complete opposite experience, which is why she is getting my business! Make sure you call and make an appointment! Updating my original review- she now has a much larger space from the time I originally posted this and her new location is amazing! Private, spacious and Cecile is STILL the best! Don't waste your time anywhere else for bridesmaid dress options! I got my dresses on the timeframe that was promised and her suggestions on sizings for my girls based on their measurements were right on the money. read more

I went to Cecile for my bridesmaids dresses and she was so pleasant and nice. Not all my bridesmaids were local and a few of them had to call in their sizes. Every time I needed to come in all I had to do was call and make an appt and Cecile was very fast to get back to me and her hours were perfect for my 9-5 job since she was there until 7. The dresses did take a long time to arrive and Cecile told me when i should order them so there was plenty of time. When the dresses arrived they were more than I expected and soooo beautiful, all the bridesmaids loved them. one of my my bridesmaids even got pregnant after she ordered the dress and Cecile referred her to a wonderful tailor who was able to fix the dress which I thought was going to be impossible. She has the best prices around also!! Thanks you Cecile for helping make my wedding day more beautiful than I could have imagined!! xoxo read more

Cecile is very welcoming and helpful. She made it easy for me to find the dress because she looked at what I pick from the rack and she started recommending similar styles from different places in the store and then she lined them up in front of me to make it easy for me to compare. So she actually works with as you're searching in the store . It's by appointment only so when you go , you're gonna get all the attention. She has a big collection of most designers so I actually tried around 8 dresses and she was very patient and helpful and she gave me advice about which dress would fit best on my bridesmaids . I would definitely recommend that place read more

Cecile Rivoire's is a great place to go and buy your wedding dress CUSTOM MADE OR your bridesmaids dresses. A friend of mine got her wedding dress custom made by Cecile's seamstress Anoosh and designed by Cecile herself! Cecile and Anoosh are both very patient and caring women. They love pleasing the bride to the fullest and want their perfect day to be as perfect as can be by making the dress Beautiful. I recommend going to Cecile and getting your dresses custom made and designed by her. They are even able to change a dress already bought from somewhere into something of your style by adding different gems, crystals, stones and different fabrics. Its just too great! GOO BY CECILE Rivoire's! Thanks Cecile for everything :) ! read more

First of all, I don't understand reviewers who have only positive and wonderful things to say, yet still don't give the vendor 5 stars. That is just beyond me! (And something I see very often on yelp, including in reviews for Cecile) Cecile and I spoke on the phone before I ever stepped foot in her store. She took the time to locate the dresses I wanted, gave me a price and reassured and calmed me during a hectic wedding planning time. When my bridesmaids came in, she was accommodating and kind - and gave her opinion when we asked for it! She rushed my dresses and they came even earlier than expected. I would recommend Cecile for her professionalism, her selection of inventory (even if she doesn't have something, she will find a way to get it) and her overall demeanor and way of doing business. Thank you so much Cecile for a wonderful experience! read more
