From the moment I walked in, she made me feel cared for and never rushed, and you can tell how much heart she and her staff puts into her shop. She's been in the business for quite awhile and knows exactly how to cater your wedding dress to fit your body shape and to bring out the best of it! My wedding dress was absolutely beautiful, and the alterations were done perfectly. I had a glitter layer added to my dress and they did incredible. My wedding was everything and more - I felt like a princess! Everything fit like a dream, and I felt so confident and taken care of throughout the whole process. I called to make an appointment, bought my dress off the rack for a good value, and came back for alterations with 2-3 fittings. Prices are reasonable considering how much wedding dress costs are. This small, family-run shop is a hidden gem, and I'm so grateful I found it. Highly recommend to any bride looking for a personal, genuine, and joyful experience!

The seamstress Garine was kind and helpful, but another employee Zina was so incredibly rude. She came off very kind in the beginning but she is a very hostile woman who made the entire experience a very sad one for me and it's still on my mind. When I went to pick up my dress, she called me and immediately accused me of being "disrespectful" for not doing all my alterations with them--something that was never stated to me as a clear policy. In person, she continued to speak to me harshly and said I wasted their time and what I did was not acceptable. She said it so many times and so aggressively I started to cry, and only then she felt bad for being so ridiculously harsh. I even offered to apologize to her seamstress who she claims I was wasting her time, to which she then told told me "it's not a big deal" To make it worse, I was quoted $50 but charged $75 with no clear explanation. I did not want to further argue so I paid what was asked. I went in to pick up my wedding dress, an experience every girl wants to remember for the rest of their lives and left feeling upset and honestly in tears. No customer should be treated this way. Would not recommend doing business with someone like her.

I love lots of lace, flowers, low backs, and unique styles. I'd been to 2 American stores + a sample sale at an expo and hadn't found anything close to my dream dress. Those complaining about the selection here clearly misunderstood the idea behind this boutique - they can custom make ANY DRESS for around $1,600! This includes your own vision completely from scratch and exact replicas of designer gowns. It all boils down to their sewing team finding an identical fabric, then the sewing process takes around 2 months. We were shown numerous Berta lookalikes and I couldn't tell a single difference from the pics online compared to the dress in store. The gowns they do have are samples they've made for the most part. These are available for $800-1000 to rent. If you're a super picky bride, have a unique body type, and/or have liked multiple gowns but find one thing you don't like about each one, this place is for you! You can truly get the gown of your dreams on a budget! I may be back in a few weeks when my mom flys out to LA to dress shop! :)

Mostly due to the fantasy(Harry Potter, Doctor Who, LOTR) decor hidden within the bridal aesthetic. This made my inner nerd feel at home. I loved the variety of the dress selection and many of the dresses she selected for me. My budget was $4000 and with gown, veil, sleeve add on, and rush fee it was still below my budget Amanda was fantastic, very helpful and kind but without it feeling like she was trying to sell me something. Just a very genuine experience. If this is your first stop like it was mine she will have many tips on how to go about picking your gown, even if it's not from her shop. Side note: we came in early for a follow up appointment and while we waited she was doing some clerical work placing orders for dresses via the computer, but what I loved was she followed up with the orders by calling and verifying they went through before the end of the business day. So if you are looking for a beautiful and genuine gown shopping experience that will leave you feeling at ease and well taken care of, then this is your place. Especially, if you love fantasy but still want that bridal aesthetic.

I shared some inspiration pics before my first appointment and Sherri immediately knew what I was looking for and pulled great options for me to try.

It's not pretentious but rather a casual and relaxed atmosphere with fairly priced dresses and accessories. I also love that they do alterations in house. Will come back to share pics after I get married in 2027 if I remember!

There has never been a more penny pinching and less moral booking policy. Only 15 of my 200+…read morereviews are 1 star, so I don't choose that ranking lightly, especially for a small local business. We booked an appointment 4 or 5 days ahead of time, as there was full availability on the calendar for weekdays. There is a 48 hour cancellation window, and at hour 47 we realized that the timing conflicted slightly with a work matter (when we made the appointment we were in New York and miscalculated the time difference). An email was sent at the 47th hour (1 hour after the window), mentioning the issue and asking if it could still be canceled since it was so close to the window, and apologizing for missing the window. The owner replied and specifically said "No problem, we've gone ahead and canceled the appointment for you". At this point, we figured all was well as they made no mention of still charging the fee. A few weeks later, we noticed the charge was still there. A quick email reply came when we inquired saying it was past their window and no refund was due. IF this was the case, why did the original email not say so and why did they make 0 effort to reschedule or ask if another time worked better? OR we could have made it work if she hadn't responded so positively. What a slimy way to make a quick $27 for nothing. I will restate that the calendar was still really really open (ie, it was not a highly sough after appointment slot taken from anyone else even on the off chance they were booking in the 2-4 days out window). Overall, it is a blessing the appointment didn't happen after reading some of these reviews about how the owner acts in person (no surprise there). Ended up with a beautiful dress from Berta and would highly recommend their new LA showroom on Beverly.

The short version is, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. I paid ~$2000 for a custom wedding…read moredress and Angel, the owner, threw in a complimentary veil, bridal robe, and free alterations. The end product was satisfactory, but not without several mistakes and unnecessary stress. Be prepared to be on TOP of the associates as the communication is nonexistent otherwise. While Angel was lovely, her sales associates need training. I wish I could have corresponded with Angel directly, as her associates seemed to not know what was going on/did not communicate. On 8/31/24, I said yes to the dress after having exhausted 6-7 bridal shops in Phoenix. I finally felt a sense of relief. I paid in FULL that day. I signed the paperwork for my dress to be ready in March 2025, two months before my wedding. The next steps were for Yesenia to send a sketch of my dress based on the designs I wanted, within a few weeks. I waited several weeks and when I didn't get anything, I reached out to Enoch (who is no longer with them). He assured me he would get on Yesenia to send the sketch. I didn't get A sketch until 11/20/24, nearly 3 months after I had already paid for my dress, and it wasn't even a sketch of my dress! I didn't get a sketch of MY dress until 11/25/24 and it looked like something she drew in 5 minutes. Very anticlimactic. After A LOT of back and forth on the finer details, I asked if the dress was ready to START production on 12/5/24. I received no response. I sent another email on 12/9/24, no response. I finally booked a flight to LA and SHOWED UP IN PERSON on 12/14 and Yesenia looked surprised to see me. She stated that she had responded production had already started on my dress, and she had sent an email but it must not have gone through. OKAY. I started emailing her again in February asking about the status of my dress: 2/3, 2/15, 2/22, 3/1. 3/1 Yesenia stated she would send me photos of my dress and book my first fitting. She never did send me photos of my dress. I had my first fitting on 3/16/25. I was expecting for all my fittings and the dress to be finalized by this point, but I was just happy there was a dress at all. The leg slit I had asked to be on the right side, was on the left side instead. Because of the way the dress was designed, it could not easily be fixed. They did not apologize for the error at any point. They did offer to REMAKE the dress, however, with my wedding less than 2 months away (5/8/25) and the TERRIBLE communication, I did not want to take that stress or risk. I had also asked for pearl buttons on the overskirt but received satin buttons. Yesenia replied that production had responded on 2/24 (to her) that pearls cost extra; at no point had she communicated this to me. She stated she would have them swapped out for the pearl buttons. On 3/27/25, I sent all the photos of the details I wanted for my veil to Yesenia. Admittedly, there were a lot of details- I wanted a cathedral veil, scallop trim with beaded edge, and for our names and the date to be embroidered. Knowing my wedding date, and that I had to leave the COUNTRY at the beginning of May, Yesenia could have prefaced that all these details would take a month+ to make- but she never stated any sort of time frame. In April, I asked if the original alterations were completed on my dress. Lots of unanswered texts. I had my 2nd fitting on 4/26, the WEEKEND before I was leaving the COUNTRY for my wedding. Luckily the dress came together, even though the leg slit was wrong. The veil was not ready for me to take home that day. Yesenia stated she could have it shipped for $8 or next day shipping for $33. I stated that I would not be paying for shipping over text, and I reiterated this again during the 2nd fitting. She agreed to wave the cost. The veil shipped on 4/28 and I received it on 4/30, a mere 3 days before leaving the country. Luckily the veil was beautiful, albeit the embroidery was smaller than I expected- but everything was spelled correctly (a point I reiterated multiple times via text). At the end of the day, everything turned out OKAY but it certainly was unnecessarily stressful and unenjoyable. I didn't have the dress of my dreams (because of the leg slit on the wrong side- and I didn't utilize the leg slit on the left side) which is crushing when you're promised it and PAYING for it. I don't recommend Lucky Brides for your peace of mind.
