Bridal & Veil

. Tam is the person who helped me, and he could not have been more amazing. He was extremely kind, patient, knowledgeable, and observant. Tam quickly picked up what styles I liked by listening, and he was able to pinpoint what I was searching for, which I appreciated so much. Overall my experience with the store was phenomenal. We’ll see how delivery timelines go during the pandemic, but the person I talked to today, Farhina, was also very kind and ready to help how she could.

wledgeable. The owner Sal hit it out of the park with what he felt I might like. There was no pressure to buy at that time but they let me know when I had to order by in order to have my dress in time for my wedding. When I did order the dress, the assistant who helped me was spot on with her measurements and when the dress arrived it fit like a glove and didn't need any alterations. The location is easy to get to but the parking lot is terrible!

up getting the very last dress I tried on and I cannot wait to wear it in January!! Thank you so much Tam!!!!

at dresses to pull. I showed her one photo and she took one look at me and she nailed it! I am "plus size" with curves and all the dresses she put on me flattered my body so so so much! She made the whole experience the best! She was nice, kind, and super helpful. SHE absolutely made me feel like a bride! I can go on and on about this place but even if you don't find the dress here trust me the experience of having an appointment there compares to nothing. Even other employees who would walk by would just stand and watch and comment how beautiful I looked.

d they had a private area set up where my family was able to sit. When I arrived and met with the bridal consultant, who I believe was either Silvia or Cynthia, she asked me what kind of dresses I like. She picked about 7 dresses based on my explanation and ones that would fit my body type. I guess I should have started off with…I am a full-figured women with several body conscious issues. When the bridal consultant came into the fitting room with several dress options she showed and explained some of the dresses she had pulled. I saw the dress I wanted to try on first and I was shocked because I new right away that it was the one. When she found me a matching veil and put some shoes on my she prepared all of my family for the first dress. As I walked out we all started to cry. Of course I felt the need to try on some other options but they only enforced the known fact that the first dress I tried on was the one and only dress for me. The bridal consultant was sweet, and she really listened to what I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with and so were the rest of the employees. I had no issues with the alterations and I was pleased with the services they provided. If I ever had to get married again, which I don’t ever plan on doing again, I would go back to Bridal and Veil.

utely gorgeous selection of dresses. I’m getting married in 3 years and they’re going hold my dress for me until the day. We went a little bit above my budget but Cynthia was always honest with prices, went above and beyond to find dresses closest to my range and they were all beautiful. My dress is so gorgeous and perfect going a little over my budget is more than worth it! Thank you Cynthia and I’m excited to be part of the Bridal & Veil family!

mend this salon for your dress.

because they said they would give me $100 off. I had confirmed with Cynthia the sales lady and Sal(Owner/manager) when the dress would arrive and they BOTH reassured me that it would be at their store by the end of April or the latest would be the first week of May. I let them know that my wedding day was on July 1st, 2017 and I was worried and that’s why I wanted to verify the date of arrival. Sal reassured me that he has never missed a brides wedding and he has been in business for over 35 years. I called and checked in about scheduling my appointment for alterations on the first week of May and they didn’t even know what I was talking about. My dress had not arrived and they couldn’t tell me what was going on. Sal called me back and told me my dress was coming from overseas and it would arrive in Mid-June??. I was in shock at that point and couldn’t believe this was happening. I checked on weekly basis after my dress didn’t arrive on the first week of May as promised and Sal told me I shouldn’t stress and I won’t look pretty for my wedding and not to worry about it. Finally- 2 weeks before my wedding, I received a call and was told my dress had arrived and my dress fitting was scheduled on 6/17. I arrive and receive the WRONG DRESS!! I purchased a trumpet/mermaid style wedding dress in off white/ivory, but I received a ball gown 2 sizes smaller in white. They blamed the manufacturer and I was told this has happened many times before with this manufacturer. I was told my dress and the dress delivered had the same ID/model number. How is that possible? They are totally different dresses and why the dress 2 sizes is smaller and a different color. Sal would not deal with me and I was told he was “out of town”. He was speaking to the sales girl Reva and using her as a mediator. He was trying to convince me to take the ball gown dress, after refusing they would not confirm a delivery date and wanted me to wait till Monday so they can speak to manufacturer. After not budging he finally showed up after returning from “out of town”. I didn’t want the ball gown (wrong dress 2 sizes smaller!!) and my only option was the floor sample. Reva had told me that they would do free alterations and would fix the beading on the dress. Sal wanted me to pay FULL PRICE for the floor sample because he told me the dress doesn’t depreciate just because its on the floor and people try it on. He was very rude to my family and friends and had no remorse. I was in shock when all of this was happening because the last thing I was worried about was my wedding dress. After going back and forth and having him threaten to give me my money back less than 2 weeks before my wedding and have me purchase a dress else where he finally agreed to give me $200 off but would give me the check when I came to pick up my dress. Very unprofessional business owner and just thinking about this ordeal is making me sick all over again but I didn’t want to keep this to myself because thinking about another bride going through what I did would make me feel even worse. Horrible place, please use caution and make sure to get everything in writing if you plan on purchasing a wedding dress because they will not honor their word.

n, did she know her dresses. She found a dress that was SO perfectly me, which I would have never seen or found without her. They were great through the alterations process. The only side which was a bit frustrating was I wish they would be a bit more proactive about letting you know when your dress would arrive. I had to call them a few times to check in on my dress/see if it was there.

l, when I was paired with Reva. I found the dress after I saw it on someone else at the salon. Great consultants! They only recommendation would be to have the front staff be more welcoming. There was some pressure as I was leaving from the seamstress to add on costs as well. Overall great though!

cided to stop on a whim. Both women working at the time, whose names escape me, were very nice and tried to find the style of dress I was wanted. One of the women also worked at the Bridal & Veil on Camino Del Rio and knew the inventory, she actually pulled up several dresses online, one in particular caught my eye. She called over to the store and asked them to pull it for me and was able to set me up with a consultant, Reva, right away even though I didnt have an appointment. Reva was amazing, she is so friendly and knows what she is doing. She listened to everything I wanted, asked the right questions and pulled some really beautiful dresses and my mom got a showing room all to herself! I ended up with a completely different dress than what I was looking for. Right when I walked into the boutique there was a dress hanging up away from all the other dresses, it was just sitting there, like it was waiting for me. Its perfect and beautiful and Reva knew the moment that I put it on from the look on my face that this was it. I tried on a couple more dresses just in case but nothing could compare. My experience there was fantastic and the staff was great, especially Reva!

ot on! I had minor alterations and the price was unmatched. THANK YOU so much for your help to make my wedding day so special. I was a fairytale and I felt like a queen in my lace dress!

d what I like/don't like in a dress and Reva went to work! She pulled several dresses and amazingly, the very first dress she pulled is the one I bought! I tried on several to be sure and one thing I really liked was that Reva was honest and told me what she thought about each dress. I was also really impressed by Reva and the owner because they never pressured me into going above my set price point and they were even able to get me a dress for less than I had hoped to spend! I had a really nice experience with Bridal and Veil and would highly recommend them to any bride who is looking for a dress! Thank you Bridal & Veil - You were all great!

le to alter my gown within a few days after my final fitting. I had my final fitting on Monday, and was getting married on Friday. I was able to pick it up on Wednesday and it fit like a glove. i could not have been happier with my gown and the service we received.

you happy. THANK YOU Bridal and Veil, I will cherish my wedding gown forever!

y first fitting in October. When I put it on, I couldn't walk or sit in the dress. I mentioned to the sales consultant that I believe I was measured incorrectly to begin with, but she said she's been doing this for 8 years and she did not believe me. I also mentioned that I participate in a fitness program that took my measurements one month before the fitting and my hips were not what they measured, but they still insisted they did not make a mistake. The consultant said I was trying to turn things around on her and that she didn't make a mistake. Bridal and Veil will not acknowledge that they have done anything wrong and they told me I'm the problem. They said we are all adults and that I was unfairly blaming them because I just don't like the dress anymore. In the spirit of being an adult, I would like to offer this advice for all brides to be: (1) know and document your measurements before you enter the shop, do not sign the receipt unless you are 100% sure those are your measurements. (2) The dress shop will most likely not have your exact size and you will need to be clipped in. Take pictures of how you look in the dress from all sides for documentation, including how they have clipped you into the dress. (3) Make sure to ask how the dress will fit you (i.e. - will the dress be tight, have other brides liked the dress, have other brides had fit issues with the dress) (4) Never pay for the dress in full when you buy it. This was my biggest mistake. I was offered the option of paying for half or paying the full amount and I choose to pay in full. When I tried it on the first time and it didn't fit, I was so scared and panicked that I then agreed to pay for additional alterations. I should have stopped immediately and discussed all my options (exchanging the dress for another, etc). They did not offer me any other suggestions other than alterations. (5) Have someone with you at the fitting. I didn't have anyone with me for the first fitting and I was very emotional and upset because it didn't fit. I did not ask about all of my options and went with the only option being offered to me - alterations at their shop. I should have left and thought about it for a few days and made a decision when I was less emotional. Best of Luck to all the Brides to Be! I hope my experience and advice will help you make the best decision in the future.

e" of dress shopping (champagne, etc). I had a clear vision as to what style I wanted. I felt heard by my saleswoman and she also respectively steered me away from a style tried on but was definitely not working in my favor ;) Literally, the first dress I tried on was the one I ended up buying! I tried about 15 more in B&V and went to the other "experiential" shop which ended up being way too pricey and not as special as the first dress I tried on. My seamstress, Sophia, deserves 10 starts just by herself! She was so thorough and meticulous! My dress was all lace and with a silk lining that didn't cover my back, so the entire back of my dress was just lace with buttons down the length. The dress in my size was meant for a woman who is 5'7" and I am 5'4", so the length of fabric she had to make work was extensive. We did 5 fittings in total and she was so kind throughout the whole process! The dress was absolute perfection and I truly felt so gorgeous on my wedding day!

mall stitches on the bust for it to lay flat instead of sticking out. (It wasn’t too much bigger to take in from the side seams.) I tried it on with the seamstress a few weeks before the big day and then picked it up the week before. It fit great and I got so many compliments. Advice: Take someone with you to learn how to do the bustle. It’s pretty easy but it helps if another person can see it in action.

e over the phone, I came in, tried it on and bought it. And because I did it that same day, they threw in the veil for free! My stylist was so nice, very helpful, not pushy, and let me take photos of my dress, which according to other reviews (and the sign on the mirror) I was not allowed to do. When we placed the order, my dress came in within the time frame they gave me, in the correct size, and it was perfect. I ordered my veil the day I picked up my dress which also came in within the time frame they promised and was perfect. I will say I did not have my alterations done there and if I had to critique them, I would say that I probably could have ordered the dress a size smaller which definitely would have saved me on the alterations. It also was not the quintessential bridal experience that most brides want and I was okay with that because I wasn't expecting it, but a congratulatory glass of champagne would have made this a 5 out of 5 for me.

rom poor stitching and add another layer part of the dress was a bit see-through. I recommend the store for the vast selection and quality service, but would advise you to be careful when going to your final fitting to avoid having to redo alterations.

taste and had great suggestions and was not pushy! I loved this place and plan on purchasing from here! Highly highly recommend to all!

mplaint is they ordered my dress too short. The seamstress was lovely though and they worked with me and steamed it for free. In the end it turned out beautiful.
