I hardly write any yelp reviews, in fact this may only be my second, but I simply had to write a review about Samira and WildBride. Samira is wonderful!!! She has curated a beautiful space with timeless elegant wedding dresses that still have unique boho vibes. She has just the right amount of dresses.. the perfect variety and not overwhelming in the slightest. Of all the stores I'd been to in the bay and San Jose, this was without a doubt the best experience. I am so grateful she helped me find my dream dress! Samira is patient, kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I recommend everyone start their search here! Chances are you will be back for that dress.. I sure was! read more

WildBride is a gorgeous and calming little bridal shop safe haven in the middle of the busy city. I had had a few of the more overwhelming "trying on wedding dresses" experiences at other larger stores. Walking into Samira's shop, I knew my dream dress would be in there. The dresses are all thoughtfully curated, elegant, romantic, with a touch of whimsy. My dress ended up being a sample size and on sale too! Samira is calm, kind, and professional. She even sends a helpful list of alterations options in the city and led me to find my amazing alterations person, Yun Yun Wong. If you're looking for a special, boutique gown experience - make yourself a WildBride! read more

See all

Samira has created an oasis of elegance, sophistication and straight up cool Wedding Dresses. She made the whole process AMAZING. Honestly I went to 6 places in the city and I was disappointed by many of them and WildBride stood out above the rest. Not only did she have the CUTEST space. She devoted her attention to you. That is not so in other places, where you feel like you're in a factory on an assembly line. Her dresses are also so freaking beautiful and there is something for everyone! There's a variety of styles, cuts, colors and when you get there - you're going to feel like the bride you are. Ladies - YOU MUST MAKE IT THERE. If you have questions - message me. I cannot recommend Samira or WildBride more!!! read more

I didn't find my dress here, but I will always recommend this place to anyone who asks! Out of the 8+ wedding boutiques I visited, this place had the cutest and most relaxing vibe. Samira (the owner) has the most amazing taste in both dresses and store deco/vibe. The whole experience was so enjoyable for my bridesmaids and I, and made me so excited for my wedding day. If I could shop for my dress all over again, I would definitely start with this store. I tried on dresses ranging from $900-3000, so there's something for everyone! Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique dress or just an amazing experience. read more

WildBride - Lighting in a store makes a huge difference when trying on dresses, and this store was perfect. - Bridal Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just wanted to say thank you to Samira again for my dream wedding dress!

WildBride stood out to me on my dress hunt all over SF and Oakland. Samira curates an exciting collection for fashion forward brides. I came in looking specifically for dresses with unique lace and textures and her selection was incredible. On top of that, I had a ton of fun getting styled by her. The shop itself gets a lot of natural light, which is a huge plus when you're trying to imagine yourself on your wedding day. I would recommend this spot to anyone who is looking for a gown that's truly special. You're in good hands here! read more

I came here with my sister to find her a wedding dress. It was her first appointment and Samira made it such a nice experience! She was attentive and helpful without being pushy. She has a good variety of styles and good price points. The shop was super adorable and she provided champagne upon arrival. We had a great time. read more

WildBride - Bridal Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wildbride was stop of (now 11) bridal shops on my journey to find the dress, and I have to say that my experience there was one of the best so far in my nationwide hunt. I think we all expect certain things with an appointment - a decent selection, easy booking, good communication, a dedicated stylist. A few things set wildbride apart. - the dresses are beautiful and different, but so reasonably priced - the owner cares so much about each and every bride, and takes the time to really listen to what you want and pull styles for you. If she doesn't have something in the store she tells you about new styles coming in that would suit you! - the personalized attention is second to none! She closes the whole store down for a private session, which makes the event feel very special. - she offers sparkling wine / water at this session. Maybe this was something that was common before but NO OTHER STORE has done this, and I've been to places that carry far more expensive gowns and are located in far cheaper locations. - the communication and follow up is great - she sent me the names of the gowns I liked immediately and told me about new styles coming in. - the ambiance and styling is beautiful. Best I've seen! When I'm back in SF, and if I haven't found my dress yet, I am definitely coming back! read more

I am grateful to Samira for helping me find my dream dress! She was perfect, had the best advice and was so patient with me - i had a hard time making a decision. And then when the alterations were done i cried at how beautiful it was. You know, you want it to be just right! Thanks Wildbride! read more

Samira's shop is beautiful and she's so welcoming and kind! It was so nice to spend some time and chat with her while trying on dresses and she was truly so helpful. Would highly recommend for any brides in the SF area! read more

WildBride was just perfect. From the moment we walked in I had a really good feeling. Samira was welcoming and calm, the atmosphere of the store was inviting and having the whole store to ourselves (I had 3 guests with me) so we got to feel even more at home as we browsed the beautifully curated dresses. After going to other dress stores where everything felt too "princess" or traditional wedding, I was falling in love with Samira's collection of hand selected gowns. Her collection is elegant, unique and interesting with rich details that made me, a self professed-non-wedding-person, fall in love with a dress. I tried several other stores that day but kept thinking about that dress, and so reached back out to Samira who was able to squeeze me back in for measurements later that day. We even got in a champagne toast! Highly recommend! read more

My experience at WildBride was the best way I can think of to begin my bride-to-be experience! Samira is so lovely and really makes you feel welcome and relaxed. The gorgeous selection of gowns she has in store range in price to fit any budget...I was able to get everything I wanted even with my smallish budget! My family is not in California so this whole process could have been a bit lonely or sad doing it on my own but I didn't feel like that at all! I walked away feeling like I made a new friend in Samira! The best part about WildBride is if you don't find what you want in her stocked selection of samples she's always having trunk shows that bring a multitude of styles. I didn't find what I was looking for on my first visit but after emailing with Samira she suggested I come to an upcoming trunk show for Willowby by Watters and sent along a few dresses that would be included. I made the appointment and boom...I found THE DRESS, bought it and floated home so excited about my decision! Bottom line, this place is amazing. Thank you Samira, I'll be back for accessories & honeymoon wear! read more

WildBride is a new/hip bridal boutique for the indie bride. The salon itself is beautifully furnished & styled in a jungalow feel. We were greeted with prosecco/water & friendly warmth from the owner. I enjoyed that there was only the one fitting room so you feel the space is all yours, completely comfortable and not competing with noise or interferences with other parties. Samira was an absolute dream to work with. As she comes from the fashion industry as a designer, her vision & expertise were an added bonus. She instantly gets a feel for what you are looking for in your gown and guides you to the styles that would best fit your vision. I love all of the designers & samples she carries, a really great array of looks for the not-so-average bride. My mom, sister & I had an outstanding experience and loved so many of the dresses I tried on. Samira let us know that my favorite designer will be showcased in an upcoming trunk show, and she is ordering a specific sample I am interested in. I am so grateful for her accomodating my needs. I look forward to returning soon for THE dress & becoming a WildBride! read more

You have to pay to try on dresses here. The () tall woman who helps you try them on doesn't know how to use the clips to show you the fit on to you. She has no personality and it is not the enjoyable, fun experience it should be. None of it makes you want to go back. read more

If I could give Samira 10 stars I would! I was a maid of honor accompanying one of my best friends on a dress shopping trip. From the moment we walked in the door I could tell we were going to have a great experience. Samira warmly welcomed us into her inviting boutique and made sure we were comfortable. I joked that I want her to come decorate my house because everything is so thoughtfully placed and well designed. We felt completely comfortable being open with our limited budget and Samira didn't bat a lash or make us feel judged. I kept being amazed with the price-to-quality ratio of the dresses Samira pulled. She has done a wonderful job collecting dresses that fit into a reasonable budget but don't look like budget dresses. The bride-to-be ended up deciding on a jaw-droppingly beautiful dress and I was so glad that we could support Samira's new business. That said, Samira also made us feel comfortable discussing dresses we'd liked at other places and made us feel like she genuinely wanted us to end up happy whether or not we ended up buying a dress from her. What a lovely experience to have in an industry that can sometimes feel stuffy and judgmental. It made a very special time even more special. Thank you Samira!! read more

Of the 6 different bridal shops I visited while searching for my wedding dress, WildBride was my favorite. Samira is incredibly thoughtful and her shop is so well set up to provide a uniquely warm, special experience for brides. She only accepts one appointment per time slot so that she can give you her undivided attention. The ability to book an appointment online through the wildbride.us website is a huge plus! I originally found WildBride through the Watters website while looking for a place where I could try on a very specific dress. I emailed Samira and she responded quickly with a very thoughtful email, recommending two other dresses that matched the style and vibe of the dress I originally asked for. When I visited WildBride in person I was immediately comfortable. Samira offered water/champagne and showed me the selection of dresses. She was very warm and interested to hear about my dress search so far, looking through photos with me and making more recommendations. She also took many photos of me in the dress that I tried on because I came alone. She knew that I was most excited about a dress at another shop but she still took her time to help me. Samira truly loves getting to know Brides and help them out. She is not pushy at all! Although I did end up choosing a dress from a different shop, I loved my experience at Wildbride and would recommend this shop for all brides looking for a unique dress! read more

WildBride is hands down one of the best bridal shops in the entire Bay Area (and beyond)! I've been to countless bridal shops in the area, in LA and NYC, and did not find the same beautifully curated selection of unique and gorgeous gowns anywhere else! This place is a gem. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable about bridal gowns and lovely to work with. I wish I found this spot sooner so I didn't have to sift through other spots that are overpriced and snobby! If you're recently engaged, you must visit WildBride to try on the amazing selection of dresses there! read more

Has the most amazing experience at WildBride with Samira. Wonderful energy there for trying on dresses! The dresses are all unique and there seems to be a style for everyone. Samira was patient and honest and all around helpful in every way, really enjoyed her company throughout the fitting. The place is spotless and respected Covid restrictions. Truly recommend this spot for any bride. read more

I could not recommend my experience at WildBride more! Samira made both of my visits fun and stress-free. Her shop is beautiful, clean, and has the perfect zen vibe. I love that she has a very curated collection of designers with just enough variety that you have choices but don't feel overwhelmed. Samira's presence is just the right combination of laid back and supportive. I felt a bit anxious embarking on the process of finding a wedding dress and she eased my nerves immediately. She was so calm yet helpful and encouraging. Love any opportunity to support a woman-owned local business! read more

The experience I had here was pleasant. The store is very pretty and clean. The associate was fairly friendly but got a pretentious instead of welcoming vibe off them. Slightly off putting but no red flags so went along with the experience. Very pretty dresses, not much variety in style and while nothing I was looking for was there, for someone that likes that boho style will have some great choices. Good quality dresses and great selection within that style. I'd recommend this store but be aware of the styles/designers they carry beforehand. read more

So thankful I found Samira and her shop! She has amazing taste in dresses and continues to cultivate the perfect selection. Not overwhelming, but enough variety to give you options. The dresses are beautiful and the store has a great vibe! (It's such a cute place and so relaxing!) Samira's suggestions were exactly what I was looking for and she easily helped me find my dream dress which ended up being under my original budget - WIN, WIN! I highly recommend adding this to your list, SF brides! Best wishes! read more

WildBride was my last wedding dress boutique that I made an appointment with. I didn't know much about what Samira carried and I didn't do much research as to what dresses she had, and went in with no expectations - very unlike my other appointments where I was hunting down dresses that I had been ogling on Pinterest. Walking into the store, you can see her collection of dresses. Exactly my style. Lots of lace, and very different dresses than I had ever seen before (think, boho-chic). She knew that I had been really happy with an Anna Campbell dress that I had tried on the day before. She understood my style, as well as body type and put me in a Temperly London dress that was stunning! Samira was an incredibly genuine and thoughtful person throughout the process. She even let me come in to try my dress on again, and address my concerns one more time before pulling the trigger on making the purchase. If you are looking for a unique, yet beautiful dress, this is your spot! read more

After visiting many bridal shops, WildBride was a breath of fresh air. Samira has such a lovely assortment of wedding dresses with a great price rage. Samira has such a calming presence with the perfect balance of being both warm and insightful about each gown. Her boutique is beautiful and intimate. There is one dressing room and you have her full attention during your visit. The hardest part about going to WildBride is choosing which one of the amazing gowns will be the perfect one for you. I had such a hard time deciding! I would recommend everyone to go to WildBride in your wedding gown search. I am so thankful I went there! read more

WildBride was probably the fifth bridal shop that I visited. I was intrigued by the unique designers and styles that WildBride offers. At this point in my search, I had an idea of what style and cut I wanted and Samira pulled dresses that made me feel beautiful and special. She never pressured me and gave me her honest feedback and opinion on the dresses I tried on. The space was so beautifully curated with great lighting, full length mirrors, and cute plants. I ended up finding my dream wedding dress at WildBride and the process was so smooth and stress free. Samira was wonderful to work with and I am so grateful to have come across WildBride. read more

WildBride - Bridal Near Me - San Francisco, California

WildBride was my 3rd and last stop on my dress hunting journey--third time's a charm! First, the shop is absolutely adorable yet trendy with its neon sign and gorgeous plants. Secondly, Samira is absolutely amazing. It is obvious that Samira puts in a lot of time and effort to curate a unique selection of dresses to make every bride feel special. Prior to visiting WildBride, I felt like every dress I tried on looked like everything I saw on social media--I knew I wanted something different, extremely comfortable, and timeless. The dress I chose was made by a smaller designer and it was stunning with incredible details and delicate fabric. However, there were certain aspects of the dress I didn't like. Thanks to Samira I was able to make customizations directly with the designer rather than with an alteration's seamstress. The results were my dream dress--I was incredibly comfortable the day of my wedding and I felt stunning. Thank you Samira for helping make my dreams come true! read more

I had such a wonderful experience at WildBride! I went for a bridal styling last year with Jessica. I had a few other appointments that day and my appointment at WildBride made me feel the most comfortable and was such an enjoyable experience. I found my dress at a different shop where I did not have the best experience, so I emailed WildBride to see if I could purchase it through them, which I did! Samira is amazing, she gave me a recommendation about the color of the lining of my dress and I'm SO glad I listened to her, it's perfect! Almost everything related to my wedding has been canceled this year due to Covid, but my dress arrived on time at WildBride and Samira has been so helpful throughout the process. I can't wait to wear my dress next year :) read more

I had such an amazing experience at WildBride! I was in San Francisco on a work trip and decided to schedule an appointment because it seemed to be more of my style then some of the New York shops I went to. Well, I am so happy that I did because I ended up saying yes to the dress! This is such a cute boutique that really personalizes your experience and carries unique designers. Analese was my stylist and wasn't pushy at all wish was much appreciated after some of my NY appointments. She made me feel so comfortable and even helped me pick out a vail and hair piece that suited my style. I cant wait to put my dress on again! :) read more

I had such a wonderful experience shopping at WildBride. Samira, the owner, has curated a really lovely boutique with a selection of gorgeous dresses and accessories to suit different styles and budgets. The space itself is beautifully decorated and filled with natural light. Samira was incredibly helpful in picking out dresses for me to try on, including some that I loved but probably wouldn't have picked out myself. She has great taste with years of experience in the fashion industry and all of her attention is devoted to you as she only books one appointment at a time. She is genuine, patient, and so kind. The whole experience was fun and relaxed and Samira felt more like a friend than the store owner. I ended up finding a beautiful dress and veil here and am so happy that I was able to support a local boutique. From start to finish, working with Samira was seamless. WildBride is a must! read more

Samira was so nice and made me (an anxious bride) feel so comfortable even as I was getting butt naked in front of her upon meeting her just 10 minutes before! Samira was super responsive and very helpful even after my initial appointment. The store itself was super cute and very organized - so much so that my appointment actually ran under the 1 hour appointment time. Honestly one of the nest experiences I've had in the Bay Area! Thanks Samira! read more

I really enjoyed my trip to WildBride last weekend. The curated selection of creative dresses definitely fit someone looking for a modern, "bohemian" vibe within a variety of budgets. Samira was great at selecting styles that complimented the vague adjectives I gave her and was really sweet overall. Extra points for the interior design of the shop-super cute as well and will definitely serve as home decor inspiration. I can't wait to visit again when new trunk shows come in town. read more

WildBride is certainly the go to place in San Francisco for an elegant and unique wedding dress that will be timeless and cool at the same time. My experience with WildBride and Samira was amazing, and I would not think twice about recommending this boutique to anyone. The appointment booking process online is easy and straightforward. The shop is beautifully decorated and smells delightful, but these are second to the wonderfully curated selection of wedding dresses in a variety of styles, cuts, colors, and price ranges. I really loved that I was the only person in the shop for my appointment as it makes you feel very comfortable and free to explore all the different dresses available. Samira is very professionally and dedicated to creating an excellent Wildbride experience. She has impeccable taste, is very patient and guides you in the decision-making process by asking the right questions. She even helped me FaceTime my Mom in NY so she could be part of the experience! After selecting my dress, the pickup was a breeze and Samira was able to recommend an excellent seamstress for alternations. I felt so comfortable, beautiful and a little bit wild on my wedding day all thanks to WildBride! read more

Had such a great experience buying my beautiful wedding dress at WildBride! The space is so beautiful, there is a great selection of gorgeous dress and Samira was SO SO wonderful l and accommodating!! I would highly recommend to all brides!! read more

LOVED my experience at Wild Bride! Samira was kind and helpful! She wasn't afraid to give me her thoughts or opinions when I asked for it. She has great taste, the store has an awesome selection. I went to some other bridal shops and I found them pretty dirty and the dress selection lacked anything interesting. Wild Bride is totally different. The store is adorable, the dresses are in great condition and Samira is incredibly helpful! LOVED my dress and so happy I ordered it here! read more

What a magical place! This was my first stop on the dress hunt and wow this set the bar high. I ended up purchasing my wedding dress from here and I couldn't be happier. The selection is awesome, especially if you're looking for high quality, unique boho-style gowns that don't scream "bride". I did my due diligence and went to a few other bridal boutiques after to compare but I couldn't stop thinking about the first dress I tried on at WildBride. The buyer/owner Samira is an absolute pleasure to work with and put me at ease with the whole process. I'm looking forward to receiving my gown in October! read more

Wildbrides was my first bridal shopping experience and I'm so happy it was! I was pretty nervous going into it because I really didn't think I was going to like wedding dresses in general. I didn't want to wear a ball gown. For my wedding day, I want to look effortlessly chic:) The dresses in Wildbrides delivered on that. They are beautifully curated and I left absolutely loving 4 of the dresses. Samira is a wonderful partner in it. She is relaxed and doesn't rush you. Plus you have the whole store to yourself during your fitting which was a really cool experience after accompanying friends where you were in a store with 5 other brides. It felt really tailored and special! Definitely check out Wildbrides! read more

I found my perfect dress here! This shop is small and has a distinct style to it but it was everything I wanted. I went to several other salons and came back to Wildbride because of the feeling I had when trying on dresses with Samira. She is incredibly kind, positive, patient and truly listens to what you want. She does not rush you or pressure you. She just wants you to be happy! Thank you Samira! read more

My first review on Yelp I give my 5-star to Samira! I visited 4 bridal shops and her shop stood out the most. All the reviews are true! She has a great variety of very unique bridal dresses. Her exceptional service and authenticity definitely makes me want to buy my dress there! read more

Had such a phenomenal time with my mother and sisters here! It was our first wedding dress store experience and Samira made it very personalized, special, and memorable. She even mentioned that she was going to look into ordering some more supportive options for brides with larger chests which I appreciated very much. Thank you! read more

This was BY FAR the best bridal shopping experience I had!! Samira's boutique is beautiful, comfortable, chic and not the least bit tacky (which I feel is a theme in the bridal world). She curated a perfect collection of gowns and every dress I tried on was gorgeous!! Unfortunately I had an unexpected & unique situation that required me to purchase a dress elsewhere, however WildBride was BY FAR the favorite spot to shop! This is what wedding dress shopping SHOULD always feel like! read more

WildBride was my final stop in my wedding dress search! Samira was very helpful in trying to help me discover what I wanted in a dress. I had been to plenty of other shops and was losing hope, I liked almost every dress but did not LOVE any enough. She stuck to my budget which I greatly appreciated. Many shops give you gowns a little over budget which is frustrating, Samira recognized that this was something I did not like and made sure to give me dresses at or under budget. After trying on a few dresses I found the winner! Thanks Samira! read more
