Let me start off by saying that the ladies who work here are literal ANGELS. They are patient,…read morekind, accommodating, and are truly there to help you find a dress that, in their owners words, "make you feel like a million bucks!" I visited Casablanca over a little less than a year ago now, and from my first visit to my very last, they were amazing. First off, don't be fooled by their smaller boutique, they have many dress options and were super accommodating on me wanting a long sleeve dress to cover my arm tattoos. They were totally non-judgemental and made me feel beautiful no matter what dress I tried on. I ended up going with a fitted mermaid style dress that was not what I expected- I originally wanted an a-line dress but somehow I fell in love with a totally different dress style. The dress was about 1-2 sizes too small, so we ordered the dress in one size up per the owner and 6 months later, my dress came in. Now, the only thing they didn't do was measure me at my first appointment, so unfortunately when the dress came in, it didn't fit me perfectly. It was definitely too tight on my arms and my chest area. They did say they could take out the dress and make alterations, but my mom felt that there wasn't enough room to let it out. They ended up calling the owner, who allowed me to look at a few new dresses that just came in while she checked if they could order my dress in another size up. Mind you, this was 3 months away from my wedding date, so I was really nervous that it wouldn't come in on time. I ended up trying on another dress closer to my original vision, a-line, long sleeve, and totally beautiful. Now this new dress was 2 sizes too big, but because of the original dress mishap, they said they would provide alterations for free! I was stunned by their kindness and their need to make what happened right. So now, 3 months before my wedding, I now had a new dress, and they were able to alter it to fit me perfectly. And listen, their tailor is literally amazing- so don't doubt the power of a great tailor, because the dress literally felt made for me after being way too big. To wrap it up, on my wedding day, my wedding coordinator did not know/could not zip up my dress. I'm going to skip all of the crash out moments (lol), but long story short, we called Casablanca, and they a) tried to explain it over the phone, then b) facetimed us to try and show how to get the dress to zip up, and when that didn't work, they literally drove down to my wedding venue and helped me into my dress. When I tell you these ladies are angels, I MEAN IT. I could not believe how much they were willing to do to make sure I was able to wear my incredibly beautiful dress. THANK YOU Casablanca!!! I cannot recommend them enough. You all are amazing and helped me feel "like a million bucks"!

I have to start off with Rowena, who is amazing at what she does! I came in with an idea, a vision,…read morea budget range, sample images, and although I didn't get exactly what I had envisioned, I came out with an equally beautiful dress within my budget. Made an appt for the next available Saturday which was 3 weeks away. My wedding is 10 months away, so I knew I had to give enough time for shipping. If all goes well, the dress will be arriving 4 months to the wedding, to which we have ample time for dress fitting. There are 2 main waiting areas at Casablanca, downstairs and upstairs. We waited downstairs until the previous party was completed with their appt, to which we then moved upstairs. I showed Rowena pictures, she pulled a 3 options out. I already knew I didn't like the way some of them looked, she then pulled out 3 more. Then I tried them on. By that point, I already narrowed it down to that 2nd set of 3, Rowena had picked out. Came back the next day with my mom and sister for final approvals. Paid for and ordered a dress that Sunday. The process for trying on dresses was seamless and painless, thanks to Rowena. She truly is amazing at her job and makes you feel so comfortable. As for parking, there are a few stalls in their garage, or you can pull up on the grass up front if your car can go off-roading a little bit. There's also street parking nearby, but definitely carpool if you got several people coming by with you.

After learning a little backstory on tuxes and suits from Justin and realizing that we wanted the guys to really be POPPIN, we went from black tuxes to a champagne color tux for my groom and full maroon tuxes for the groomsmen. Absolutely no regrets. Photos and videos all look amazing with them. I truly appreciate Justin taking the time to educate and even push us to move away from the norm and do something more exciting which in the end really fit us best. I believe the price for tux rentals are pretty similar at most of the shops in Honolulu, and since we have no real need to keep tuxes it's a great price at $250 per. After meeting Justin, I can guarantee you we will be back again.

Miyuki was the very first bridal dress designer I visited, and at the time, I had no idea what I…read morereally wanted. She was so kind and understanding, and went above and beyond by showing me different styles that flattered me and also walked me through the different fabrics she had available. She was also very transparent with her pricing and worked with my budget which I truly appreciated from the start. After my first visit to Miyuki, I also went to Casa Blanca and Bijou Bridal, but I just couldn't find a dress that felt like me. That's when I decided to go back to Miyuki, and I'm so glad I did! She took my vision and turned it into my absolute dream dress. Not to mention the silk fabric she used was STUNNING. On top of that, she was even able to design a beautiful dress for my mom (green dress pictured) with pretty short notice, which meant so much to both of us! Again, the fabric and color she used was GORGEOUS. Her amazing customer service, high attention to detail, and overall quality is truly unmatched. If you're looking for someone who truly listens and delivers beyond your expectations, Miyuki is the one!!

We worked with Olivia, and she was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, she made me feel comfortable and truly listened to what I thought I was looking for in a wedding dress. As we went through the appointment, she helped me refine my preferences and ultimately discover what I really wanted in my future wedding dress. I appreciated that she encouraged both my guest and me to pull dresses that caught our eye, while also selecting additional gowns based on what she was learning about my style. It felt very collaborative, personalized, and pressure-free. The entire experience was wonderful, and I felt genuinely well taken care of throughout the appointment. Another huge plus is that they offer dress rentals, which is a fantastic budget-friendly option for brides. 10/10 experience--highly recommend to any bride looking for a fun, comfortable, and supportive dress-shopping experience!

Unfortunately there were issues with the first dress I chose and we had to pick a second dress. It was a very difficult process and it was an emotional experience.

I highly recommend that if you get any alterations done in house that you work with Lagaya (I do not know how to spell her name- sorry) she was fantastic- she is only there on Sundays.

Shopping in Downtown Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Looking for a gown for a formal wedding, I entered Do's Formal. Located on the corner of King Street and Smith Street, I parked in a loading zone which is free after 4pm. Inside, the store is filled with many gowns and even tuxedos! The variety colors and styles is overwhelming. I saw the arrows on the ground which help customers because a person could get lost in there! Service was friendly in the beginning, but cooled off in the end when I didn't like the dress that was suggested to me. I went in the dressing room, but didn't need help with the zipper. I did pull the straps shorter for a better fit, but tailoring the dress would be too much. If you need a wedding gown, suit, or prom dress, take a look here! Some styles look like beauty pageant fashion!

Her staff pulled 3 dresses for my were daughter who was shopping for a wedding dress for a Fall wedding 2026. We had gone to 2 stores in LA where she lives and couldn't find anything in her price range, under $1,000. I had made 2 bridal appointments since she is home for the holidays! The first one we canceled because the girl who was going to assist had a cough! Even though, she would wear a mask, we didn't want to take any chances! So fortunately, we went here Do Formals! It is in Chinatown and since it was a Sunday, we could find street parking! The first 2 dresses fitted her perfectly! "Like a glove" no alterations needed except to hem! They both were beautiful that we couldn't decide which one we liked more! It was the same price too $799! My daughter decided on the second one cause it would match her lacy sneakers and it had pockets! Who doesn't like a dress with pockets! Jackie helped us find the perfect veil! The lace on the outer edges matched the lace of her dress! The veil was so reasonable too! Only $69! What a deal! Spending 90 minutes to find the PERFECT gown and veil within her budget was so Lucky! It was fate! Will be back to get it hemmed! Thanks a million Jackie for all your help and valuable recommendations!

If you're not familiar with what that is, it's basically a formal women's long dress that is worn at special occasions or events. That day I also purchased a Barong Tagalog for myself as I also walked my sister down the aisle representing my late father. A Barong Tagalog is a men's formal shirt, majority in beige color, but also comes in other solid or ombre colors.  This past weekend, I had to go in to purchase another Barong for my grandfather's funeral. He will be wearing it in his casket at his upcoming memorial service. Via is the shopkeeper who runs Bloom and I met her 2 years ago, she is lovely and extra personable, efficient with what she does. Her shop didnt have many to choose from as she she's been busy with other orders for funerals, and her next large shipment isnt until end of May. I was happy to know that the perfect shirt was on hand, in the perfect size. As much as I'd love to go back to The Philippines to and have an abundant selection of Barong to choose from, a last minute roundtrip ticket with 2 weeks worth of quarantine is not ideal during this time hehe. FYI Bloom by Weddings & Things also provides floral arrangements for special occasions too.

May was a complete delight and made the whole process stress free and fun. We were both offered water upon our arrival and escorted to the bridal suite. Parking is easy, just park in Hokua, they validate. The space is beautiful and clean. They adhered to Covid-19 precautions. My sister rated her favorite dress a 9/10! May also emailed all the information in a timely manner. If you are looking for your dream gown visit Magnolia White! They are also the only bridal suite that have Galia Lahav designer dresses.
