The ring was perfect and exactly what we envisioned. Ann handled our main consultation and guided us through the entire process, showing us all the beautiful options available. We highly recommend Ann. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and amazing at what she does! Val was also fantastic, stepping in for multiple steps of the process when Ann wasn't there to ensure everything stayed right on track. Thank you, Ann and Val, for helping us create the perfect ring!

I reached out to them via dm to place an appointment, but you can also do it yourself on their website. I asked whether we would need to commit to anything during the appointment and they said no. This made me feel a bit at ease, as we were just planning to go in to explore our options and become educated in picking out engagement rings. They responded very quickly to my dm and helped me make an appointment, answered any questions I had, and added me to a text chat where I could send in some ring inspos and what styles I was looking for. We came a bit early, but they were able to accommodate us. We were guided to a table reserved especially for us and were offered champagne or sparkling juices/water and some cookies as snacks. Our jeweler, Lyn, was very easy to talk to and she made us feel very comfortable during the entire appointment. We told her that we didn't have much knowledge about picking out a ring and what to look for, but she was able to help us through the entire process and guide us through all of those steps. We had a ring design in mind already and we showed her the photo and she was able to show me the similar setting, diamond shape, and carat size, against my finger. We tried on different band widths to see which one I liked better, went over the 4 C's (color, clarity, cut, and carat weight), and explained to us what they meant. She showed us different diamonds in different carat sizes and the differences in clarity grade between them. My bf and I really learned a lot during our consultation and are very glad we booked an in person consultation with Hung Phat. I'd like to thank Lyn and Val for providing us with excellent customer care and helping us in our ring journey.

My best friend and I got our colors done by Mary Lou. The result has been such a surprising boost…read moreto my personal confidence, and made my clothing shopping laser focused and effective. Mary Lou makes the process really personalized, easy to do, and delightful. She helps match the colors not only to your skin tone, hair, and eye color, but also to things like the way you like to show up in life, and personal goals you have. We enjoyed the color sessions so much that we invited Mary Lou to come to our homes to do closet consultations. I was delighted to find that many of my clothes were the correct color, and she showed me sophisticated ways to put them together into outfits I hadn't considered before. She also knew so many easy tips, like about arm length and the right position for jewelry, which have made even outfits I already use much more attractive. I really can't recommend enough how great a gift it is to get a color session. Give the gift to yourself or a friend. Mary Lou is very down to earth and makes it a really easy step-by-step process.

After years of dressing very simply (CTO "hoodie uniform") I wanted to create a more curated…read morewardrobe but didn't know where to start. I chose to work with Paul because of his online reviews and I'm so glad I did. Even with my high expectations, he exceeded what I'd hoped for at every turn. Paul not only is amazing to spend time with (explaining lots of little tips and tricks along the way that have been useful and stuck with me), he is also very efficient with a thoughtfully designed sequence of meetings (some virtual to align on goals and define my style, some at my house such as the closest audit, and some at the mall where he prepared fitting rooms and made shopping actually enjoyable). The final product: a wardrobe I really look forward to every day, and even a helpful 'look book' of curated outfits (there's something pretty magical about flipping through the pages to pick out something I like and knowing I have all those items in my closet already!) If you have a similar goal, and want someone to make it an easy and delightful process, I highly recommend Paul!

I knew my closet sorely needed a refresh as I do not buy that often, and I was searching for…read moresustainable quality brands within my price point. I had tried multiple brands that offer monthly styling boxes, but I didn't like the styles or quality each time. Paul came in and audited my wardrobe and got to know my preferences and clothing needs, then he used his extensive knowledge and did extra research to find me brands and items that he felt I would love... and I did love them! I was thrilled to find eco-conscious brands that fit my petite frame (very hard to find my size), and Paul solved so many of my clothing issues with insightful suggestions on how to wear specific pieces in a more stylish manner. Also, he made sure my current pieces matched well with any new items, especially since I wanted to keep everything in rotation. My experience was beyond my expectations because Paul is deeply knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, and because I felt he really LISTENED to what I wanted while gently nudging me to expand/improve my style. I look forward to working with him again in the late spring so I can refresh my summer wardrobe!

Wedding dress shopping is a very vulnerable experience. It's your self esteem on full display and…read moreyour experience is very dependent on the stylist. Unfortunately for me, I did not get the experience I was hoping for and did not feel like my stylist was able to interpret my vision. This was my 4th time trying on dresses. I previously went to Kleinfeld NYC, Anthropologie Palo Alto, and Kinsley Couture Walnut Creek. I had wonderful experiences at my previous appointments. I decided to come here because one of my friends had recommended them. My budget was $5k so I had a flexible price range. My stylist didn't really explain to me their process at this store so I was a bit confused. I knew it was a one hour time limit and the estimated dresses to try on was 5, but I didn't know it was a hard limit. She ended my appt early at 45 minutes. Had I known I could only try on 5 dresses exactly, it would have been nice if she was transparent about that so I could at least maybe select the dresses I gravitated toward out of her selection. I felt like I was giving feedback after each dress, but kept getting another variation of what I didn't like. The first dress I tried was probably the best out of 5, but from there we kept getting further and further away from what I wanted. There were some dresses I put on and wasn't comfortable to walk out on the podium, but she never asked me if I wanted to show my guests or not. She would just immediately open the curtains and I just felt very exposed and not handled with care. It just didn't feel like a hospitable environment for me or my 3 guests. We were never even offered water. I'm hoping my experience was an outlier and I wish all the brides coming here success in their bridal journey.

I am in LOVE with both my dress and the experience I had at Bo Lee!!…read more I was recommended Bo Lee by a friend who knew of them when they were located in Sunnyvale; they're now located in Campbell. Parking is super easy; for my Sunday 3:00 PM appointment, the street parking spots were empty and the nearby parking garage had tons of space. Entrance is a little bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but they put a sign above their entrance, and directions are easy to follow to their front door (store is located on the second floor). My absolute love of this place includes: - the space is huge!! I had a dual fitting with my friend, but we weren't bumping into each other or in each other's pictures or anything at all. I saw that there was another person doing a fitting, but she was practically on the other side of the building, so we weren't encroaching in each other's space. - the dual fitting was a special request, and Jackie made sure to put us in rooms next to each other, which made the process that much more seamless - kitchen: one of my girls set up camp and poured us our teas, mimosas, and champagne in the Bo Lee kitchen. Also a beautiful space! - natural lighting: big and tall windows plus second floor venue equals viewing yourself in true colors instead of only bulb-lighting. The dresses I tried on were beautiful, but in the natural light, I could see how dynamic they were as well! Subtle sparkles, sheer tulle... it all came out differently in the natural light. - stylist chooses the dresses based on conversations and preference. Jackie, my stylist, knew the entire inventory. I just described what I thought I wanted, and she delivered!! I was relieved that I didn't have to go through dress after dress on the floor and hum and haw about whether I wanted to try it on or not. (Some people might not like this, but I feel like I had a curated try-on collection from an expert who saw the bigger picture.) - I also love how Jackie had me try on a dress I didn't think was the style I wanted, and she dotted her Is and crossed her Ts so I could for sure say with confidence that that particular dress style was a "no" from me. - both Jackie and Bo Lee took my measurements to make sure there wasn't an error, and it's the little things like that that make you feel confident in choosing them as your bridal boutique. I'm happy, I saw and tried on so many styles, and I had such a fun time! I also went under-budget for what I wanted for my dress, which is a win!

Jewelry Art Center said yes we can repair your ring, we're a bit busy it'll take a few weeks.

Marina at Le Caprice is a lifesaver!…read more I ordered a Vivienne Westwood gown from a very popular bridal shop. When I tried it on during pickup, I knew something was off. It took 3 stylists just to hook the dress together before it could be zipped up. I had not gained any weight since ordering, and the dress felt like it had been ordered a size too small. The stylist who was helping me put on the dress kept reassuring me that the gown had a hard corset, and because it was strapless, it was meant to fit that tightly. Well before my actual wedding, I had my courthouse ceremony... I needed a lot of help to get the dress hooked on, and when it came time to drive to the courthouse, I couldn't even sit up. I had to lean the car seat all the way back in order to make it to the courthouse. The entire afternoon I was so uncomfortable that I didn't even want to drink water. After that experience, I brought my dress to Marina at Le Caprice. She took one look at my back and didn't even bother zipping me up. She assured me that my dress was too small, that it was not just in my head, and offered to remove the zipper and replace it with a corset back! I was nervous because I really loved the top part of my dress and how snatched it made my waist look, but when I received my dress it still looked just as perfect! Not only that, but I was completely comfortable in it when I was sitting and eating at my reception (: Marina was able to complete the alterations super fast at a fair price and I think the corset was elegantly executed. I highly recommend coming to Le Caprice!
