Andrea’s For the Bride

Absolutely wonderful experience here at Andrea’s! My mom and I had a great time. Samantha was so much fun! I ended up finding «the dress» elsewhere but there were some very close contenders-​great selection. My mom also tried on a mother of the bride dress that was super fun! It was a bit out of her price range but it was a great experience to try on dresses with her! Highly recommend.

Andrea’s is the best of the best. Carmen is amazing and lends a personal touch to everyone’s big decisions. She is amazingly helpful and you’d be doing yourself a favor by coming in. You’ll be won over in no time.

I truly cannot say enough positive things about my experience at Andrea’s For The Bride. Not only did they make me a custom wedding dress beyond my wildest dreams but the ENTIRE experience working with Carmen and Samantha was a dream! They are not only the most professional and the most experienced and knowledgeable dressmakers and fashion consultants I have ever met but they are also beyond caring and compassionate to all their clientele. I came in with a vision for a dress and starting from the ground up, they designed and executed a unique, stunning and breathtaking dress that went beyond anything I could have ever imagined! Starting with my very first fitting, I was so happy that I even had them design my rehearsal dinner dress which I also couldn’t love more! They made sure everything fit to a tee and was exactly the way I wanted it and more! They even gave me a lesson in walking in the dress, sitting in it AND practiced my first dance with me to make sure I was completely comfortable! Throughout the entire process they were beyond loving, compassionate and excited for me AND Samantha even came and helped me get ready on my big day. She was truly by my side EVERY step of the way and I couldn’t have imagined a more personal experience. It was truly a dream and an experience I will hold close to my heart forever! Thank you, Carmen and Samantha for your outpouring of love, for a dress that was beyond anything I could have ever imagined and for making the best day of my life so special!

Samantha is the best go-​to for the makings of the perfect bride. She listened to the style choices I liked and even suggested other options that I would not have considered for myself. We got started trying on styles, and we had the «wow! this is IT» moment, and we all shared in that special moment. We were greeted with champagne and didn’t feel intimidated at all. The shop is beautiful and elegant, and we were able to even find the perfect dresses for my mother and the grooms mother! It was really the most special moment, and the follow-​through is impeccable and the tailoring is amazing. Love this place, definitely suggest to everyone looking for that special wow moment.

Thank you Samantha and Carmen for fitting me into the dress of my dreams. Actually, it was even better than I could have dreamed of.
I went in looking for something:
–non traditional/​stylish
–perfectly fitting my small size
–within my price range (including the custom alterations)
Let’s just say I can see why this mother and daughter team has been in business for so long. They really know how to fit a beautiful dress on anyone. Plus they’re hilarious, can someone give these two a reality show already? My mom, sister and cousin had such a fun time shopping with me.
I always recommend Andrea’s to anyone Iooking for a wedding or special event gown, it’s definitely worth checking them out. Hint– call ahead and schedule an appointment, that way you can make sure to get the special VIP treatment you deserve.

What an amazing find right on Robertson! This store has been around for decades catering to the mother of the bride and everyone knows it’s THE place to go to be a glamorous, modern mother of the bride. But now they are doing bridal and oh my! Samantha knows bridal like no one else! The gowns are stunning and there is a full range from traditional to non-​traditional. Like most bridal stores, the sample sizes are around a size 12 but we had no problem working around the gowns being several sizes too big for me. Samantha truly loves making brides happy and it shows!

My mother and sister live in a different country so planning a wedding has been overwhelming. I only had a few days before my mom went back home and I really wanted her to help me find my dream dress. Andrea’s was the third store we visited and it was indeed a charm. Samantha’s great! I was unsure of what I was looking for, there are so many styles I loved if it wasn’t for her I’d still be trying dresses. She helped me found a gorgeous dress that is very flaterring for my body. My mother and I had a wonderful experience, I couldn’t be more grateful.

I found this place on Unilocal and because of all the good reviews made an appointment for my younger sister to try on wedding dresses (I’m maid of honor). We got there and all seemed great at first. There was a decent selection of dresses and we were given champagne to sip on while my sister spoke with Samantha about what kinds of dresses she wanted. From there on, everything went down hill. Samantha spoke with my sister and didn’t seem to listen to what kinds of dresses she wanted at all. My sister specifically said she didn’t want strapless dresses and 90% of the dresses she brought in were strapless. She didn’t clip the dresses on her when she came out so that they looked huge on her and it was difficult for us to see what the dress would actually look like. When comments were made about this Samantha rudely shot back that the fitting room wasn’t big enough to clip them. At one point, my mom said, «I just can’t see it because it’s not tight so I’m not sure if I like it» and then Samantha retorted with «I don’t get what you can’t see? The dress is on her». Samantha was extremely rude, whether on purpose or not, throughout the entire experience so that it was not enjoyable at all. Some of the dresses were beautiful but her attitude ruined the experience for us.
I, and my group, expect a certain degree of pleasantness when going into Beverly Hills to find an expensive wedding dress and this is not what we received here. It felt as if we were annoying Samantha every time we mentioned something about certain dresses that we didn’t like and even rolled her eyes at times. She kept going on and on about how great her shop was and her dresses were but did nothing to ensure good customer service. Although some of the dresses were similar to what my sister was looking for – we will not be returning to this dress shop.

I had such a great experience here and I found my wedding dress!!! Great selection, great help, and a perfect place to enjoy that special moment:) I would absolutely recommend coming here for bridal gowns!

Andrea’s for the Bride helped me find my wedding bliss! I came to Andrea’s in a frenzy, about to leave the country and needing to get my dress before I left without very much time to spare. After a day of frustrating phone calls at other bridal shops and being told finding a dress in such a short time was impossible, Samantha at Andrea’s for the Bride assured me that anything was possible. After one visit to her shop, I found the dress I wanted, she rushed the fittings and she even helped me find the right jewelry. Everything turned out perfectly. Samantha is kind, helpful and incredibly professional. I’m so grateful that I found her!

Carmen and Samantha make you feel totally comfortable and at ease when shopping for «the» dress. I was kind of scared of this daunting task at first but as soon as I stepped into the shop they made the experience relaxing and fun. These two women know what they are doing and make the process comfortable. There was never any pressure and they understood my style. They have so many different beautiful dresses that there is something for everyone.
I’m beyond excited to wear my dress on the big day because I know it’ll fit me perfectly and that it is totally my own. I can’t thank them enough for helping me find the perfect dress!

Carmen gave me the best experience when I was looking for my wedding dress. I was not excited to try another place when I had the worst experience at another dress store in Orange. However as soon as I got to the store we felt like we were the only people she cared about. There was no pressure as I picked out dresses and I found THE dress. Carmen was so knowledgeable about the dress and explained everything about the process and best of all is that the dresses are custom made for you. Every time I was in the store I always felt like I was their only client. Samantha was amazing as well when I went back for my dress fitting. I cannot wait to put my dress on for my wedding, it is a once in a life time dress that is completely and utterly breath taking. Amazing experience, I would recommend anyone who wants unique and gorgeous dresses as well as an amazing dress buying experience to come to Andreas For the Bride, you won’t be sorry.

Custom made dream wedding dress.
After going to literally 6 places looking for my dream wedding dress. I found it here!!! Even though they are new to the wedding dress world Samantha really understands fashion and weddings.
I sent her a few pictures of what I wanted and when I went in, I fell in love with the first dress.
I am also having them make my rehearsal dress!!!
