I was feeling exhausted and honestly quite hopeless. Then I came to NWLA. They have a beautiful curation of dresses, you can tell each piece was so thoughtfully picked to create a stunning collection. Jessica also was patient & knowledgeable - as I was trying on dresses and giving her real time feedback, she was pivoting the choices to better match what I wanted. Ultimately, she found the perfect dress. I was stunned and honestly so happy that I had my moment! Thank you Jessica & Nadia for all of your help!!

Beginning with instantaneous responsiveness when I first emailed, and ending with the detailed email for dress care and suggestions for photo poses that led to me being a phenomenally glamorous bride on my wedding day. When I arrived to her studio, Hanna was warm, welcoming and kind and immediately I felt comfortable. She showed me her gorgeous gowns, took photos and videos that she sent to me later so I could share with my friends and sister and get everyone's opinion. I fell head over heels in love with the palace gown. But. I am a inner city, Bay Area school teacher which means school teacher wedding budget. After falling in love with the gown (the sample fit me almost perfectly!) hanna offered to sell me the sample at a discounted price...needless to say..I SAID YES TO MY DREAM DRESS!!! Hanna and her seamstress made the small adjustments and I was able to pick up the dress just 2 weeks later. I took it home and 3 weeks after that, walked up the stunning staircase at San Francisco city hall next to the man of my dreams in the dress of my dreams. Hanna helped my quick wedding be full of glamour and shine. I felt like a showstopper in this gown and a friend of the designer. Thank you Hanna Hartnell!!

My idea of the perfect wedding dress changed as I got older. In my twenties, unfazed and emotional…read morebaggage-free, I thought about the fairy tale gown, complete with cathedral train to match a full-blown Filipino Catholic wedding. This was the gown that my talented Mother should have sewn for me. That dream was squashed when she passed away. And as an 'older bride', I wanted something simple and elegant. I called the Hanna Hartnell boutique, only to discover that bridal salons in the Bay Area do not carry her dresses. But they do have a "mail-order bride" program. I spoke to the designer herself, Hanna, who explained the process: With a $50 charge, three sample designs in sizes close to your basic measurements are sent to you. If you decide on purchasing a gown, the $50 deposit is credited against your account. Such a novel idea - trying on gowns in the comfort of your own home -- free of the hard sell, not competing for mirror space and sales assistant attention. I invited my assorted coterie of fashion consultants - Aunties, my sister, friends and cousins. I sashayed in my Dad's living room in three styles: Firebird, Peacock and Phoenix. Hanna's styles are glamourous, simple and sexy. I selected the Peacock dress - for its retro-glamour and its versatility for a beach wedding and for my wedding celebration -- a party weeks after our intimate ceremony. Despite the body skimming bias cut fit, the thigh-high side slit and the bare back -- this was surprisingly the dress I needed to work out the least for! And, when I asked my Aunties which dress Mom would have liked, all signs pointed to the Peacock. I loved the personal attention that I received from Hanna herself. I received several phone calls and e-mails from Hanna to know my style and status on the dress. What other salons could I have spoken to the designer? I'm not a celebrity, so Vera Wang or Monique Lhullier won't be talking to me. Two other bonuses: no alteration fees as the gown was made to my measurements that I faxed to her. It fit perfect. And although I was quoted about 4 months based on the general schedule, my gown was delivered in a month. When I placed the order for my gown, I got choked up. I wished Mom was the one to create my gown. I do think that Mom is very pleased that I selected a dress that wasn't mass manufactured but designed and sewn by artists like herself.

If you're looking for a custom made to order bridal dress, look no further. After shopping around…read moreat several bridal stores in both LA and NY and not finding anything I loved, I consulted with Patty and Corina at L'ezu to create my dream dress together. We ended up pulling in elements from different dresses I had seen to bring my vision to life. I showed them images on my phone of each of the dresses I liked, and they made it come to life, from sketchbook to reality. L'ezu's execution of my dream dress was the best experience of my wedding planning process. They pulled off exactly what I envisioned for both my main dress and my second look (which I loved equally). Vera Wang and Monique Lhuillier have nothing on L'ezu! The quality of their fabrics, Patty and Corina's craftsmanship, and their attention to detail were top of the line. Many of my friends are asking for their number and I can't speak more highly of the entire experience and of these two ladies as individuals. I will truly miss the entire wedding dress process and look forward to having L'Ezu make my dresses for other joyous occasions.

I did not have a lot of time in planning my wedding, but Patty reassured me she could fit me into her busy post-covid schedule. I never felt rushed during my fittings and in the end my dress fit me like a dream, I didn't even need shapewear! Patty and Corina were extremely detail oriented and had great advice on helping me find the perfect shoes to finish the look. Being able to skip wedding dress shopping and going straight to their skilled hands was invaluable in reducing all my wedding planning stress and I highly recommend anyone to make an appointment with the L'ezu team to get your perfect dress made.

I already knew exactly what I wanted for my special day the only problem was they didn't have a dress similar to what I wanted but my stylist told me they also do custom dresses and she can bring anything to life. I was shocked when he told me that! After going to 2 different bridal stores and leaving the appointments disappointed I didn't want to look more further because all I could think of was bringing my dress to life! So I made another appointment at Le Marriage Couture and we began customizing my dress. And the best thing is it took 3 months for my dress to be ready! My dress is a dream come true. They went above and beyond my expectations! I was speechless, my heart was beating fast! I was not expecting to cry on my last fitting! I didn't even want to take it off! I'll most likely sleep on my wedding dress after the party is over because is THAT beautiful! I want thank my stylist for helping me out and bringing my dream dress to life. My stylist is the best consultant there is and really cares about what a bride wants. It was like he is doing it for his daughter, that's how much he cares and wants everything and every detail to be perfect! Le Marriage Couture is not about making a sale but making a bride happy! Please brides!! If you want to be happy on your wedding day I highly recommend. Le Marriage Couture because you won't be disappointed! Again, thank you Danny and Le Marriage Couture staff specially Maria the master seamstress.

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. I quickly found my top choice and came back a few days later to make the purchase. Sherri was very knowledgeable about every dress in her shop and supported me every step of the decision. I felt so confident saying yes to the dress here! This is a hidden gem tucked away in Sawtelle. 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.

Not as clean as I would expect for location and brand. The veil and dresses are very cheaply made and from some of these reviews that seems to be on brand. I understand these are sample dresses but I would think you'd have at least one good quality sample to try on. The veil selections, look and quality were an atrocity. Also, no alterations with purchase? Shame. Now, the dresses are on the lower end of the price point for wedding gowns but you can definitely find the same dress with better quality DTLA. All in all I was very underwhelmed given the rigidity of the appointments and service, I do expect more at that point.

They are…read moreexcellent at keeping their online shop updated for what they have in-store with pictures and sizes of the gowns. Their selection of designers is truly amazing. I can't speak to their online portion of the business, with the shipping and try-on-at-home or the selling process, but I can absolutely recommend that if you're looking to buy a wedding dress in SoCal, it's worth it to visit this place in person! It was just me and my mom (someone whose opinion I value but who also trusts that I can make my own decisions), but I think they allow up to four people to come with you. (Choose wisely lol). They also have great tips on their site, and the ones I felt were super helpful were 1- go to a regular bridal salon first to get a feel for the things you like and don't like, 2- size up one or two sizes from what your street clothes normally are, 3- preview their selection online and come prepared if there's something you specifically want to try on. They also send you a questionnaire when you book the appointment asking how you want to feel in your wedding dress on the day of -- which was a really useful question to answer, just for myself lol but I'm sure it helps them pick out some options that might align! Desiree was amazing!! She immediately understood my vision. She was an incredible resource for all of my nerdy material questions, and my questions about the consignment process, what would and wouldn't be possible in alterations, travel tips for transporting the dress, storing the dress, post-ceremony cleaning, etc. It's also bananas how much she knew about the history of some of my dress picks re: the original bride's alterations, off the top of her head! (Or maybe it's written down in their system haha that's probably more likely, but if it was from memory, freakin' kudos!). Apparently, Desiree had worked at the designer of one of my top pick dresses so she also had the lowdown of the business from that perspective as well! I also didn't feel pressured at all, which was so important for me--not just for wedding dress shopping but for all of the choices we've been making for the wedding. It's a small thing, but something I greatly appreciated. The absolute most useful advice Desiree had was about the alterations process and even pricing. She made the caveat that different people would have a range of prices, but for what I was looking for, she would be shocked if I had to pay over X amount. I went to five different alteration places to get quotes, and three of them quoted me pretty much the exact number Desiree had suggested, and two of them tried to upsell me on things I didn't need and charge me three times as much! Obviously, I went with one of the seamstresses that quoted me that starting price, and I was so grateful that Desiree knew her stuff because my people-pleaser self might have just accepted the pricier alterations place without questioning it. I found the gown of my dreams at Loved Twice Bridal, from my top pick designer (Galia Lahav!) at significantly off the retail/custom order price. I received excellent service from an extremely knowledgeable resource. And I made a choice that aligned with my sustainable values. I'm so, so happy with how it all worked out! I just picked it up after alterations (Connie Tao Designs in Pasadena) and I cannot wait to wear this dress on my wedding day! Obviously, my choice of husband is the best choice I've made for my wedding haha, but choosing the dress I did, from this shop - it was a pretty darn good choice for me. Best of luck in your search!!

Service 2/5 Selection 3/5…read more Honestly I had a very disappointing experience on my birthday here. Upon arrival, the woman at the front desk (Desiree) didn't greet us despite us being the only party to enter. It wasn't until I introduced my name that she then introduced herself. She also made it a point to say "you brought the 'whhhole crew' with you today. Which I was confused about because I had 4 guests which was within the allowed guest count. It was a very uncomfortable encounter. Nonetheless, I brushed it off as I was excited to try on wedding gowns for my November 2025 event. While selecting dresses, I asked Desiree if she could please add one of the gowns to the rack for me to try on. Her response was "but is it actually in your budget?" Woah--did she just Pretty Woman me? When I asked if that was a requirement to try on dresses, she responded no, but since it's a consignment shop they have to be mindful of how many times a dress is worn and they want guests to be intentional about selections. Okay--understandable but set that expectation from the beginning or it sounds extremely judgmental without context. The selection was quite limited as other people mentioned. That said I found a dress with potential and put it on hold. Ultimately I changed my mind about the purchase because I couldn't justify supporting a shop with that type of customer service. I thankfully ended up finding my dream dress elsewhere and ironically it was well over my original budget. But when I tried it on and loved it--I figured it's worth the price. From the glowing reviews I truly hope I'm an anomaly, but I had to share my experience as I hope this behavior from staff can be improved in the future. For many of us, this experience is supposed to be exciting and when we are paying for the experience to try on dresses I think at minimum staff should try to *at least* fake politeness for the one hour we have booked.

One dress is a vintage gown with a ton of lace that frankly didn't fit me at all, but Moufida worked miracles. She took the bodice out and turned the top into a corset, and changed the full-length sleeves into cap sleeves. She somehow retained the spirit of the dress even though I needed her to completely redesign the top. Yosr helped schedule my tailoring and cleaning appointments and is so kind and responsive. I was initially nervous about the logistics of deciding to get married without the standard year of planning, but thanks to her, it was easy crossing the dresses off my to do list. So grateful I happened to stumble across The Wedding Gown Specialists on The Knot's website!

Personally, I was going back and forth on whether or not to keep a train on my dress for the actual wedding. I wanted the asthetic of the train for the photos but did not want the length/weight for the party. They made the impossible happen: Yosr and Moufida actually came to my wedding and altered my dress in between my ceremony and reception!!! My photos came out amazing, the dress was absolutely perfect, and I couldn't have been happier. This is in addition to altering a gorgeous dress I got, lining the whole dress, and making me a custom veil! I am so eternally grateful to have come here, and I recommend their abilities for more than wedding dresses, if you want a quality alteration on a beautiful dress/gown/etc, they can do it! I 1000% recommend. More than 5 stars!!
