You can book your first visit online. Kaeli did an outstanding job of choosing dresses for me based on a couple of inspiration photos I showed her. She also listened carefully and quickly adjusted as I gave my thoughts along the way, which is quite a skill, since it was my first shop experience, and I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted going in. They have a variety of styles and price points, and Kaeli was respectful of my 2K budget, choosing dresses within budget (not all places will do this, beware!). I almost got my dress here, however, I ended up choosing a different style at a sample sale a month later due to pricing, timing, and style--I liked my top two dresses equally. I would HIGHLY recommend including this place for your OC wedding dress shopping!

We arrived about 15 minutes early for the appointment and understood we needed to come back, so the three of us my daughter, my sister-in-law, and I walked to a nearby coffee shop to get some tea while we waited for my sister, my niece, and one of her bridesmaids, Sam. When we all got back and walked in, we were greeted by Hailey. She was so bubbly and genuinely excited to help my daughter find the dress. She was incredibly sweet and spoke to my daughter, Anyssa, in such a sincere and warm way that it immediately made her feel comfortable. Since I work in customer service myself, I can easily recognize when someone goes above and beyond and Hailey absolutely did. My sister and everyone with us agreed. Hailey, you are in the right job. God truly placed you exactly where you're meant to be right now. It was clear that you weren't doing this for the commission or for what you might gain from the sale. You were doing it because you understood what this moment meant to my daughter. That meant everything to us. I would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for their wedding dress not just because of the bridal shop, but because of you. I truly hope you are recognized for the amazing job you do. And the best part... she picked the dress!

These 5 stars are because of Erin, she is truly amazing. I'm not sure if you can request specific…read morestaff for Bridal Appointments (dress shopping), but if you do, I'll recommend Erin forever! I brought my mom and best friend. We all sat down and she asked what I want to look and feel like in my dress, if I have an idea of what I want (shape, fabric, color, etc), if I've tried any dresses on already, and my price range. We got to browse and point out any dresses for Erin to pull while she went all around pulling any dress she thought I might like. Erin clipped me in so well that I didn't have to tug and adjust the dress while seeing how I liked it. For each dress I got to walk out to the pedestal and check myself out in the mirror and lighting. For each dress, she asked how I felt in it, what I liked, what I didn't like, what I would change... and this all helped her narrow down which dresses to try on or others to grab to add to the list. I got to try different veils (which I didn't know I wanted and it totally completed the look, so now I'm getting a veil) and even go to different lighting to see what natural lighting would look like on the sparkles too. When I found the dress, I got to participate in the Mon Amie tradition of making a wish for myself, my fiancé, and my marriage, then ring the bell and celebrate! Measurements were taken and a detailed contract was written up with pricing and a quote for alterations. Parking was easy & there is a bathroom in the back! There was a ginormous selection of dresses of all fits, fabrics, and styles.

I feel conflicted writing this because my initial bridal appointment in September 2025 was amazing…read more My stylist, Erin, was warm, attentive, and really understood my vision. She even pulled dresses I wouldn't have chosen myself, one of which became my dress. The hospitality, including sparkling wine and a beautiful try-on space, made it a truly special experience. Unfortunately, my presentation appointment this past weekend was very different. I invited my maid of honor and future mother-in-law since it was just my mom and I during my initial dress shopping appointment. I expected a similar, celebratory moment, but it felt more like a quick errand. We were placed in a small back room, the appointment felt rushed, and there was little of the hospitality I experienced before. The biggest issue was trying on my dress. It didn't fit, which was stressful and disappointing, but obviously no one's fault. That said, I wish the staff had taken a more discreet and thoughtful approach, like adjusting or clipping the dress before bringing my guests in. Instead, my guests were brought in while the dress was visibly unfastened, and the conversation focused on fit issues. I was also asked about my weight in front of everyone, which felt uncomfortable and could have been handled more privately. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially compared to such a strong first impression. I still love my dress and hope this was just a one-off, and that the alterations process will be more positive. I'd just recommend managing expectations and not treating the presentation appointment as a special occasion for guests.

They allowed me to have a few more guests and was patient when I was late to the appointment due to a collision on the freeway. I tried on more dresses than I originally picked. They offered champagne and water. They were positive, professional, and kind and I recommend you buy your wedding dress here. They didn't try to upsell me and prices are transparent on their website.

Anthropology had truly my dream dress at an extremely affordable cost! Would highly recommend choosing it if your priorities are the same as mine! The lady helping us honestly seemed like she didn't really want to the there (one of my bridesmaids said something after too so I know it wasn't just me) but she was plenty nice overall and they give brides and the people they bring free drinks so overall very good experience!

I ended up falling in love with a mermaid gown when I had only tried on A-lines at my previous fittings at two other shops. I felt so beautiful in it from the first fitting to my big day. They also offer alterations at similar pricing to my usual tailor (who charges fairly) - I did get a discount since a shipping delay resulted in my dress coming late which I greatly appreciated! The seamstress who worked on my dress was super sweet and experienced - the hem was perfect, the bodice fit so well I never worried about having to adjust my dress despite it being off-the-shoulder, and the American bustle held up super well (even me jumping around the dance floor couldn't do any damage). Their hours were a little unclear online and I had to wait a couple days for a response at times (usually because they were still waiting on something), but overall a wonderful experience!

I was incredibly disappointed by my experience at The White Dress…read more Because I am getting married on a shorter timeline and primarily need to look at sample gowns, I tried calling several times the day before I planned to visit. Their website indicated that I needed to call rather than book this type of appointment online, but no one answered. I then texted and received no response. I followed up again, still received no response, and ultimately had to text a third time the day of before someone finally replied to tell me they were fully booked. That was completely understandable. I asked whether I could simply stop in to browse the available samples instead. I was offered a time that same day at 2:30 and told I could come in for approximately 30 minutes to look at the samples. I rearranged my entire afternoon and postponed visiting another bridal store so I could be there at the agreed-upon time. When I arrived, I began looking through the gowns. An employee approached me and abruptly told me that I could not be there without an appointment. I explained that I had been told to come at 2:30 to browse the samples. Rather than welcoming me or checking the messages, she responded in a dismissive way and said that she was already assisting another bride. OK, no problem. I really didn't need help just to browse. Another employee then came over, and the first employee told her that I claimed to have an appointment but did not. I again explained that I had just been communicating with the store by text. After asking my name and checking the messages, they confirmed that someone had, in fact, told me I could come in. At that point, no one apologized for the confusion or for the way I had been spoken to. I was left to navigate gowns that felt scattered throughout the boutique with almost no guidance. When I looked at certain dresses, I was abruptly told that I could not view them because they were part of a trunk show. I eventually found a sample gown I genuinely liked that appeared to be close to my size. When I asked for information about it or whether I could try it on, I was simply told I would have to come back because no one was available. It would've taken no time for them to pull it off the rack and allow me to try it on without wasting my time to have to drive an hour in for one single dress. It would've been a courteous thing to do and I was only there for about 10 minutes before I located it and it was the only one that worked. At least come over and offer me the courtesy of giving me some information. The girl was literally just sitting at the desk. I had a friend there also who could've helped me if I needed someone to zip it up. I really just wanted to check it out while I was there and honestly would have bought it on the spot if it worked. Again I don't have much time. I understand that bridal boutiques operate by appointment and that the store was busy. My issue is that I followed the instructions I was given, arrived at the exact time they offered me, and was then treated as though I had shown up uninvited and was inconveniencing them. The communication beforehand was extremely difficult, and the attitude I encountered once I arrived was dismissive and unnecessarily rude from the sales girl especially, the girl at the front desk was not rude, but she wasn't helpful. Wedding-dress shopping should feel exciting and welcoming. Even a simple congratulations, a friendly explanation, or an apology for the misunderstanding would have completely changed the interaction. I was prepared to spend upward of $10,000 on a gown, but regardless of someone's budget, every bride deserves to be treated with basic kindness and respect. The boutique itself is smaller than I expected and, in my opinion, the sample selection was not organized in a way that made browsing easy without assistance. I actually liked one of the gowns, but the experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that I would rather purchase elsewhere. Other brides may have a better experience during a formally scheduled appointment, but based on how this situation was handled and how I was personally treated, I would not return.

This was my fifth (and final) dress appointment because I said yes to the dress!…read moreI was so lucky to get Huong as my stylist/bridal consultant because she really was the BEST! We started off by browsing the store and picking a few dresses, and Huong also recommended a few as well based on my vision. My mom and sister had fun being able to go through the selection and suggest some dresses. I came in knowing I wanted to try on a specific dress and Huong made sure to find it for me! Throughout the whole process I felt so comfortable and supported by Huong. I just want to thank her for being so patient and kind to me. She helped me get in to each dress and never made me feel like I was a bother even though we tried on so many dresses! And she even saved the dress I came in to try on for last, just so that I could be sure that there wasn't something unexpected that I ended up liking. When I finally did try on the one, I felt so relieved that I finally found my dress! Also side note, this was actually a rescheduled appointment because I had a family emergency happen the day before my first appointment, but they were so kind, understanding, and even remembered it the day of my rescheduled appointment weeks later. That meant so much to me! I had a great experience dress shopping here and can't wait to receive my dress when it arrives later this year!

The cons: I have to echo the sentiments of many other reviewers that we were barely greeted upon entering, to the point that they even seemed annoyed. The owner never introduced herself; she just sort of stared at us the whole time, in an uncomfortable way. Sharon was my consultant, and she was pleasant enough, but I also echo the sentiments that it's unusual for this place not to help you get your dress on, that you hang them back up yourself, and that it's just not on the same service level as the 4 other salons I visited. They don't offer water, tea, etc., nothing to drink, while all 4 other salons would offer water or a soda at a minimum. I had one other appointment earlier in the day, which I ultimately went back to to purchase my dress, despite Jaclyn's also carrying my dress. Jaclyn's price was $700 more for the exact same dress, but even if it had been the same price, I wouldn't have purchased from here based on the service. I get the feeling that the service would be better if you were walking in here with a very large budget. Just an underwhelming experience.
