The White Dress

Ashley and Alex are so sweet and helpful. At my appointment, Ashley helped me pick so many gorgeous gowns to try on and I went with a Pronovias. The selection at the boutique is stunning. It was so fun to pop the champagne when you say yes and write your wedding date and initials on the cork! I had such a wonderful experience when finding my own gown that I went back for my bridesmaid dresses and custom garter. I recommend making an appointment so you can get the most out of your visit by having a consultant. Ask for Ashley or Alex!

We had the best experience here! We arrived late and they were so nice about it. We had Lauren and she was so amazing and sweet. My sister ended up with a dress and were able to accommodate her and able to get it to her in time for her wedding in 3 months! Huge selection of dresses and all of them are gorgeous.

Amazing store, kind staff very supportive working with in our budget was not pushy. Very kind patient and understanding and works hard to pull what we wanted with a little twist. Would come back with my next Bride!

My first dress shopping experience was at The White Dress, recommended to me by a friend. I came in and was greeted by my consultant who was nice, but didn’t seem very excited to be there. I had the opportunity to pull some dresses to try, and the consultant pulled a few more that she thought would work with my style. We tried a few different styles since I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted, and we were able to narrow it down. I wasn’t in love with anything that I tried on, which is one of the reasons I didn’t purchase my dress there. The main reason I was unhappy was because the consultant never asked me what my budget was. I didn’t want to try on dresses that were out of range, but I never new the prices until after the dresses were on and my mom asked. I wish the consultant would have been a little more engaging.

I went in this past Saturday to try on dresses. My stylist was Chloe. She was amazing! I’ve gone to many different appointments after being a bridesmaid for two of my friends and for my own wedding. My appointment with Chloe at the white dress is by far the best experience to date. She was so cute! She even went around and personally greeted everyone I brought with me. She took the time to get to know me, my taste, and my wedding. My last appointment, it was so hard to like anything because all the dresses pulled were not pretty. Furthermore, the last stylist did a pretty bad job at fitting the dress to my body. However, Chloe did an amazing job at fitting the dress to me and working with my style. I haven’t settled on a certain style but this appointment definitely helped me get a better sense of what I do like and do not like. Furthermore, she more than worked with my budget. She didn’t just pull dresses that almost maxes my budget but also ones way under my budget. If I wanted to, I could have gotten two of the dresses and still be under budget. Definitely made me feel like she wasn’t out to maximize her commission but to make me happy. I was so overwhelmed with all the selections because they were all so beautiful I couldn’t settle on one dress so she wrote down the styles I like and their prices. I’m already planning on coming back to possibly try on more and retry the ones I did like to hopefully say yes. Ask for Chloe!

Selection is beautiful. Gorgeous gowns. But very pricy!!!$$$$$ and then some.
Be aware, that if you do not have an appointment you will be turned away.
They didn’t even offer to make an apt or anything for me. They seemed pretty busy with their «brides with apts.»
If the experience was better, I may have considered going back with an appointment of course ;)

Lauren was very kind, helpful, and sweet. She greeted my cousin and I friendly at the counter and we had a little chat. She let us went around the store and chose which dress I would like to try since we don’t have a budget. She also introduced very clear to me the dresses’ designers as we looked around and after we narrowed down to three dresses. Because I just want two dresses for my wedding but there were 3 that I was in love with, so I told her I needed to ask for my husband’s advice before deciding, and I also want to check around before making final decisions. She wrote down the name of three dresses and their prices before giving us warm hugs. She also opened the door for us, what a nice lady!!! Ask for Lauren !!!

Emily Lappi is awesome! The first time I went by myself and she helped me pick out some gorgeous dresses and try them on, she was so helpful and made me feel very comfortable! The next time I brought my family and she was so great with them too! She was not pushy and has a great sense of what you will like! The store is beautiful, they return your calls and emails immediately! I recommend checking this store out and when you make your appointment see if Emily is available!

I had a great time visiting The White Dress! My consultant was the best part — Cassie — thank you! This was the first bridal boutique I’ve ever been into, so I didn’t really know what I was doing, but it didn’t matter! I took my fiancé’s daughter with me, and she was thrilled because she’s already designing outfits & sewing. It was her 2^nd time visiting (their cousin bought her dress here). We didn’t find my dress, but it was a great experience. The only reason I gave ⁴⁄₅ is because they literally only had a few dresses under $ 1500– but I understand that’s kind of the CDM/​OC expectation.
The boutique is beautiful; I’ve lived in the area for two years & always hoped I’d get to try on the dresses!

Mah gurrl, Emily, helped me and she was SUCH a breath of fresh air to work with. Seriously. Fantastic. I’m on a time crunch with my wedding date which has made finding a dress much more stressful than I could have ever imagined. Emily was so personable and made me feel at ease with her easy-​going nature and GENUINE approach. She listened, gave suggestions, took feedback, and was honest with me when it came to ruling out different styles less flattering and staying within my budget. Much respect! Big thanks to Emily and the other ladies at the White Dress; make an appointment– it’s totally worth your while!

I heard of this store from referral and also walking by it multiple times. Making an appointment was simple and straight forward. Ashley was our girl for the day and I couldn’t of chosen someone better. She was patient, knowledgable, and made sure I had exactly what I needed. This was my first place trying on dresses and the selection was great. I tried on about 8 – 10 dresses and I think If I would of doubled that they would of let me. Dress number 2 was the one for me. After visiting another store, I came back and said yes to my dress. If your able to make a request for a girl I would absolutely suggest Ashley, though I’m positive everyone is just great. Thanks girls! Look forward to my final fitting.

Where do I even begin with how happy I am! My experience at The White Dress was like a dream come true. The dress I’ve been dreaming of I found in this store late at night, and waited impatiently until the next morning and called exactly at 10am sharp to see if it was still available! I spoke to Alex, who helped me every step of the way. She gave me an appointment right away and I was even late over an hour (I live 51 miles away) and she still helped me! It felt like I was hanging out with a girlfriend, more than I was shopping for a wedding dress. She was almost as happy as I was when I said yes to my dress! She even opened a bottle of champagne to toast. I’ve been planning my wedding for close to two years; I have 9 months left and this is by far the closest I’ve ever felt to being a bride. It was such a meaningful event for me, I cannot thank Alex enough for all she’s done for me.

By far the worst dress shopping experience I ever had. I usually like to arrive to my bridal appointments early and that’s what I did on Saturday, Oct. 4^th. My sister scheduled the appointment 2 weeks in advanced and asked for the earliest available which the gal said was 10AM (that’s their official open time); however when we arrived, there were multiple people ALREADY getting serviced which we were okay with until… we realized that was the start of the long series of horrible events/​experiences.
–the lady that checked us in had an attitude of someone who was so unhappy about working and rudely/​snobbishly said «we won’t be able to accommodate you and we will be starting ‘on time’» granted we were 20 – 30 mins early BUT…
–the same person who checked us in was the same person who was my bridal «consultant» and I should add: there were two ladies at the front when I originally checked in so she was available to start earlier had she wanted to…
–I never had a bridal consultant that was so unpleasant and so unhappy. She failed to listen to what I was looking for and her attitude was just so unpleasant
–I felt rushed
–she made off handed rude remarks and discredited my opinion
–I could continue on and on but, Renee — if you are reading this or management is I hope this experience was an anomaly for any bride that you service and/​or you were having a really bad day… I wish I had asked for another consultant.
I feel bad for giving WD ¹⁄₅ stars but I can only rate on my own personal experience and it was the WORST experience. I will never return and not recommend this place to anyone there are too many other great bridal boutiques with amazing consultants to check out. AVOID, please!

I’m shocked this doesn’t have better reviews! I came in with a ROWDY, HUGE bunch of family, and Alex handled it like a pro. She helped me find dresses I loved, did not stray from my style, helped talk to my family about the pros and cons of each dress, and helped us have a fantastic experience. We took FOREVER and they were so sweet and never rushed us. It’s wonderful that they let you browse around and pick dresses to try– a couple other places either didn’t have the personalized service (you looked for dresses yourself), or didn’t let you look at the entire selection, forcing you to rely on someone else’s tastes entirely.
I love that they pop champagne when you say yes– I was more excited than I thought I would be and it was so fun to get caught up in the moment. Definitely make a reservation and have guidelines in mind when you go shopping. Other than that, just enjoy!

Had a great experience on a busy Saturday afternoon, even though I was a walk-​on customer with no reservation. (Tip! Get a reservation if you want one-​on-​one attention)
Though I did not have a reservation, there was enough staff for someone to help me. I tried not to take up too much time browsing through dresses, because that could just feel too daunting and overwhelming. So, I learned to research the dresses beforehand myself, come with a list of the designer, style, and color that I’m looking for, and then have the employees at the store help me locate the exact dress so that I could try it on.
There were several soon-​to-​be brides at the store on a Sat afternoon. It was quite busy and the employees were busy helping their designated brides. I was saved by one of the employees who kindly helped me find each dress on my list and even led me to the «back» dressing room which is used as a spare for busy occasions. I was so thankful for this extra spare dressing room because not only was it quite spacious, but it allowed me to quickly try on the dress that I had been researching on the computer screen the past few months. I was finally able to try them on and ready to make my decision.
The employee who was helping me was super friendly, very relaxed, and helped me to feel at ease. She helped me get into each dress by buttoning or tightening the back and helping me to get a good idea of what the dress would look like on me. She helped me to narrow down my choice and by the end of the hour I had ordered my dress!

I had a wonderful experience here! Kate was my stylist and she was amazing! I tried on so many beautiful dresses, but in the end I went with the Galia Lahav I had my eye on for months! It was truly a fairytale dress!
I also got all 4 of my flower girl dresses here and they were adorable!
The staff here is extremely helpful and it was a pleasure working with everyone!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WHITE DRESS. I was originally hesitant to come here because I thought the store only carries luxury wedding dresses (i.e. Galia Lahav). I love Galia Lahav and Pronovias Atelier collections, but they’re out of my price range ($$$$). My sweet co-​worker recommended this place since she got hers at this shop couple years ago. Right when I check The White Dress website to request an appointment, I saw they’re having Katie May Trunk Show. I booked an appointment for Saturday, July 18.
I had a good feeling that day despite the gloomy weather (it was raining super hard in July which is unusual for so-​Cal). Two of my friends accompanied me. I love the ambiance of the shop. The dresses are all gorgeous (they carry a large selection of dresses: Hailey Paige, Watter, Wtoo, Pronovias, Katie May, Galia Lahav, etc.). I was able to find great selections that fit my budget ($$). Katie was my bridal stylist and she was absolutely amazing! Such a sweetheart and extremely helpful. Every single dress was just beautiful! I loved them all :)
I said «YES» to the dress and I cannot wait till I pick up the dress 5 months from now! I will recommend this place to anyone who wants great service (Katie and the team) and a beautiful salon with great selection for their wedding dress.
Note:
–The White Dress does not provide alterations service, but they have a list of alterations place they work with.

Nancy sold me my dress I had a great experience try so many dress then finally I kept coming back to the same one

Came here because they carried a few designers that I couldn’t find at home in San Diego or Las Vegas. Cassie was very welcoming and accommodating to my group, which consisted of my mom, aunt, grandma, and 12 year old cousin.
The dresses here are gorgeous and definitely a little higher on the price point scale. Regardless, I was able to find a few great selections that fit my budget. It’s nice that you’re able to take a look around and point out what you like and then be able to really see what is/isn’t feasible based on price but still have good alternatives to choose from.
I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision but did appreciate the follow up email a few days later.

*I made an appointment a month in advanced to try on wedding dresses. I was greeted warmly and Katie helped me right away. She asked my budget and helped me sort through the dresses. Katie was great in helping me try on many dresses. Not once did I feel as if she was getting tired. She made me feel extremely comfortable and happy to try on dresses!
Every single dress was just beautiful!!! Katie helped me narrow it down to one dress and she didn’t make me feel as if I had to buy it then and there. I was prepared to put down the deposit and she informed me that if I waited until the trunk show, I could get 10% off the dress. I was so excited! So I will be back for that dress! Love, love, LoooooooVed The White Dress!
