I then called Bijou bridal and spoke to Leslien and she made time to make an appointment for me and see what she can do. I showed up with my mom and my Fiancee and dad were waiting outside praying I find a dress. 20 min and the second dress I tried on I found my dress. I felt beautiful as ever and just beyond grateful for the amazing service and kindness that was shown to me. We all could not believe we found such a beautiful dress that was perfect for a beach elopement. She went ahead and did a few alterations and had it ready for me next morning. I just want to say thank you so much Leslien and Bijou bridal for making me feel beautiful and saving my wedding day!!

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.

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"!

Justin, his Mom, and staff are so helpful and friendly. They know their craft…read more We went in thinking that we wanted the standard black tux with accent colors. 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.

I unfortunately did not have the new bridal try on experience that every bride dreams of having…read more The man that welcomed us in to wait at the tuxedo side was very rude, he said multiple times how I was so very late coming in the beginning of August for a bridal dress when my wedding is the end of November. I did not get a single congratulation just forced into multiple dresses outside of my price range, told multiple times that I was much to late to be looking for a wedding dress for my wedding coming up in November and my bridal party felt like they couldn't give any feedback back about my dresses without getting backlash from the staff. I hope for future brides sake the company can provide a more supportive environment and be more warm and welcoming. I've been emailing back and forth with Vows and Bridal for months now and was not expecting to be treated with such disrespect in person.

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!

My experience with Masako Bridal was smooth sailing from first try on, thru fitting/alterations to…read moredress pick up. Olivia and Rachel helped me thru the process. It took total of 5 appointments and dress pick up. Initially I liked both Jenny Yoo Martina dress ( simple, elegant style) and then Lillian West dress ( Boho floral lace style) that Rachel brought out to try on last. But for 2nd try on appointment, Jenny Yoo dress I liked was sold before I could try it on again. Their summer sale event ( all dresses discontinued from their racks on sale, so they can make room for new dress inventory) was going to occur the following week. I knew at that moment that I needed to select Lillian West dress, as my other option since there was no other dress from racks I wanted to try on from inital appointment and this appointment. The style I liked was A line, v neck with nice dress train and not too gothic, over bling out. With that summer sale, they cannot hold inventory for customers as it first come, first served when the shop opens. I selected that Lillian west dress before it sells off the racks. Rachel honored, gave me the sale price $500 with tax. With the alterations too, cost for the dress was over $1600 with total price of just under $1,000 for both dress, dress bag and alterations together. What a steal compared to show" Say yes to the dress", all the dresses at Kleinfield cost way more and other dress shops on the island. With the fittings, seeing both the dress with wedding veil I bought from Etsy seller along with the pearl drop earrings from Amazon, image of me as bride was stunning and made me feel like I'm ready to say I do. Masako held onto the dress until day before my December wedding as I was nervous if my cats destroy my dress happiness. I got many compliments from friends, family and my husband's co-workers who thought that dress was beautiful along with make up, hair style I had done. Very glad I went with Masako and genuinely recommend to future and engaged gals to come here if you are budget friendly shopper as the managers will work with your budget and provide recommendations. Please make an appointment online as they are appointment only, no walk in are allowed. Parking is at Whole Foods parking lot and walk over. But if you are picking up dress or having it cleaned/preserved, you are allowed to park in their assigned stalls, that way you do not carry that heavy thing across the street.

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!

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.
