Bride To Be Couture

This place is wonderful. I walked in, with such anxiety (because I hate trying I clothes and suffer from body dysmorphia) and spoke with Phoebe. She was unbelievably kind and took me around the store showing everything they had, she later scheduled me an appointment for the following day. My stylist, Arianna, was so amazing! I’m a 16-18 in dresses and I was so afraid I wouldn’t fit in anything or find anything I felt beautiful in. Arianna was so patient and when I decided to try a different shape she was so excited and pulled the most beautiful dresses. The last one I tried gave me the bride feeling. I saw myself and felt like a bride. I was so emotional and she was so comforting. I told her I couldn’t make a decision with out my mom there so I ask if they had any appointments for that Saturday and unfortunately they were booked. But she took a look at the schedule and made room for me to come in with my mom and grandma at the end of the day. We came for the second appointment and she had pulled more dress that were more form fitting and they were all gorgeous, but when I put THE DRESS back on I had the same overwhelming emotion of happiness. I have never felt more beautiful and elegant. And my family agreed! I said Yes to the dress there and I can’t wait to get married in something I feel so beautiful and so confident in. Thank you Arianna and B2BC, you all were so amazing! I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.

If I could give then 100 stars I would! The whole process was absolutely amazing, I called a few days prior to my appointment to check on the dresses they showed online and beautiful McKenzie answered and told me they had all of them in and knew my style right away. After booking my appointment I was so happy to find out that she was going to be the one helping me find my dream dress! Walking in I was so amazed at the beauty of their shop and the warming welcomes they offered. McKenzie jumped right in and hit the mark perfectly. We tried a handful of dresses that I loved but weren’t “the one” and then it happened, she brought me not one, but two dresses that blew everything away! She gave me the best advice on following my heart and how I felt and told me I would know when I put the dresses on for the second time and wow was she right! I balled the ugliest happy tears and found something that I felt was made for me! McKenzie is truly an amazing person and made the whole experience more than I could have ever asked for. She is so great at what she does and I’m so grateful for all her support and help. I want to thank McKenzie and the owner Dina again from the bottom of my heart for having the BEST Bridal Shop in California!

Erin is the kindest and sweetest human. I had tried on my dress at another shop, but didn’t love my experience there. Bride To Be didn’t have my dress, but not to worry, Erin wasted no time ordering a loaner from another state so I could try it on. It was perfect!!! I couldn’t be happier or more grateful.

Erin Britt was SO helpful - I made an appointment and had a visit yesterday with a good friend who is also looking for her dress. She was very friendly and kind and made the experience so much fun! She even helped us make an appointment at their other store close by (B2BC outlet) so we could check out some more dresses - and then she was at that location to help us too! We were really grateful for that since we had already gotten to meet and connect with her at the first appointment and felt really comfortable with her. We both thought that she was really great at what she does and we were so glad that we were paired up with her for our appointments. We are still deciding on what we want & will definitely reach back out to her for help! Oh and we loved that she emailed us before and after the appointments to check in and follow up. Gold stars for Erin!!

I said yes to the perfect dress at this shop (B2BC) my consultant was Arianna and she was so sweet and kind. She made me feel so comfortable and really listened to what styles I liked and what I didn’t. I really love the brand Essence of Australia and was able to try on lot of there dresses and in plus sizes. The quality of there dresses is so good. They offered us complimentary champagne and my guests were able to sit at comfortable couch to watch me try on. Arianna also let me look at the dress in the mirror before she revealed it to everyone, was really special to have that moment for myself to take in. I loved the experience and didn’t feel rushed at all. Can’t wait for my dress to come in, and work on any alterations it needs. Thank you bride to be for making the experience wonderful.

Bride to Be Couture was the first and last bridal salon I went to to find my dream dress! Everyone was so sweet and easy to work with at B2BC. I was recommended B2BC by my boss and one of my coworkers. and the experience did not disappoint! The stylist really listened to my vision (despite other voices in the group) and I was able to find my dream dress within my budget. I stuck with them for alterations and even got my veil through them and the process was so seamless. The seamstress is a miracle-worker!!!! I had made some major changes to the dress since initially buying it and she made my vision come to life! I truly cannot thank everyone enough, I will continue to recommend B2BC to anyone in the Sacramento region looking for their dream dress! ✨

I don’t really take the time to write reviews, but my wedding dress was altered here and it didn’t turn out how I had asked, so I felt the need to leave a respectful, but completely transparent review for those who are considering trusting this place with their expensive and special wedding dress… My altering lady, Ramona, was kind to me and did very well on the dress alterations, which is why I gave a second star, however, she did not follow my directions for length. She was way off. I specifically asked for, and made very clear, that I do not want my feet to show when I stand, and to only have the tip of the foot to show when I walk. She said she could do this and would make it as long as she could without me tripping on it, so I trusted her. At my second alteration appointment, the dress was so short that I was able to see my feet under my dress when I simply stood in it, and when I walked in it, my entire feet showed. I was very disappointed and worried, but I remained calm. She said she would fix it and not to worry, so again, I trusted her, even after the mess up. After all, they do this all the time, and they have good reviews, so I might be panicking for no reason right? At my last appointment to have the final look and pick up the dress, there was no change. I was very upset, but being the person I am, I still calmly and respectfully brought this up to her again, and she said I can go ahead and change, and she will take it to the back then and there to fix it that day by steaming it. I explained that I had to scrunch it in a luggage for my out of town wedding, so it would go back to how it is, but I still rolled with it. While I was changing, I could hear her quietly talking trash to the receptionist. This was very shocking and unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable being there while I waited for her to steam it. Then when she gave me my dress to try on again, it was still too short. I had to just take the dress as is and bite the bullet because my wedding was in three weeks. Due to this, I had to run around last minute replacing my very expensive two inch wedding heels that I was very excited to wear, to instead get a pair of cheap flats due to the dress being too short. To put into perspective, I put the dress on in flats, and I was able to walk just fine in the dress without being close to tripping. I had a second opinion from another altering lady while I walked in the flats and she agreed that the dress was altered way too short and felt terrible for me. So if you are considering this place, just be careful who you trust.

I had a great experience at Bride To Be Couture. My stylist Christiana was awesome and so patient! She helped me find my dream dress from designer Essense of Australia. Everyone was so pleasant. Thank you so much so much Bride To Be Couture family!!

Thank you Monica for making my experience so easy!!!!! I love my dress

I had the most amazing time at Bride to be Couture! Erin was an absolute DREAM to work with! The salon was clean, open and airy, and they have a large selection of plus size dresses. I booked my appointment with very little hope and expectations as I had recently had a couple of terrible experiences at other bridal salons. As a plus size bride, this was the part of wedding planning I was dreading the most. Erin helped me feel at ease right away. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. She picked up on my likes and dislikes quickly and brought me dresses I would have never thought to ask for - one of which turned out to be THE dress for me! I'm so glad I decided to give this place a chance, and I cannot wait to return for my fitting!

Lauryn helped me find the perfect dress within my budget that combined the style I was looking for perfectly in one elegant dress and was even able to help me see how my hair would look like with a hair piece in to help really commemorate the moment for me. I was so lucky to have researched and found this boutique, as they take the time to get to know you and what you are looking for! I was in awe to find my perfect wedding dress my first time trying one on and especially fitting a tight schedule. I cannot be more grateful and recommend this shop to anyone living in the Sacramento Metropolitan area!

I had the best experience at Bride to be Couture in Sacramento. My husband and I had a 10 month engagement and really cut it close by ordering my wedding dress only 7 months before our big day. We ended up scheduling a private fitting for picking out my dresses. It was so special! We got the royal treatment with the best little treats and snacks. Monica was great in helping me pick out not one, but TWO perfect dresses for the big day. Her team was incredibly helpful and prompt with responses to emails, changing little details, and scheduling fittings. Oksana was wonderful in making alterations to my dresses and really fitting them to my body. She also went out of her way to make appointments that fit my crazy schedule. I also loved the little Mr. & Mrs. mugs they gifted me with after I picked up my dresses for my wedding! Such a thoughtful little treat.

The store is absolutely cute! Their consultants are very helpful, and take time to listen to what you want and pick dresses that fit that. I bought my dress and veil from them and couldn't be happier! Everything arrived earlier than expected and I was able to be fit in to pick it up the very next day. Make sure you do pickup items when they come in or you run the risk of a storage fee. All in all, I'm so very happy with my experience there and the dress and veil that Ari (the consultant for my appointments) helped me find!

Such a wonderful experience picking out my dress! I initially went in because they were having a show for another designer I had liked in the past, but after telling Monica a little about myself and my husband and the day we were planning she pulled an absolutely STUNNING dress and I had my bridal moment! I also went through the salon for our tux rental and my alterations and couldn't have been happier with the results! Anthony was available any time we needed him for the tuxes and when we had a last minute shoe fit problem he got it taken care of immediately!! I can't say enough good things about them!!!

The staff here was exceptional! They were so fun and helpful in picking out my bridal gown and bridesmaid gowns. They had the rare sequin gold dress that I was hunting for my bridesmaids to wear. They have a wide selection of prices, styles, and colors as well. They recently started offering tuxedos as well so we got our groomsmen outfits here. The pickup and return window was a bit shorter than my liking but everything went well and they looked great! They also offer in house alterations which were fantastic!

If you’re looking for a wedding dress, you HAVE to come here! Monica is so amazing and the people here are so genuine and helpful to finding your style. The alterations that were done on my dress looked flawless and they are great at communicating with you if you have any questions. A wonderful business with wonderful people. 💖

Dina's team was able to make my dream come true for my wedding day! I ran around the Sacramento Wedding Convention asking every vendor if they would even touch my Grandmother & Mother's wedding dress. Surprisingly​, only BTBC said they can do anything!!! And that they loved the challenge of restoring a wedding dress that was over 60 years old! My grandmother is 5'10", my mother is 5'7", and I am 5'1"...so you imagine the challenges! We had no idea at each stage what was going to happen and if the fabric would even hold together! They did it!!! I looked amazing in the dress and am SO happy I went with that dress! Back then they made the dress and veil for you! They helped make me look gorgeous​ on my​ wedding day. Do not be afraid to go classic and repeat a dress from a ​previous generation or two! The BEST Dress Restoration Salon in ​Northern California is BTBC!!!!! They are very professional​ and helped me find my dream Bridesmaid dresses too! I envisioned​ satin, Emerald​ Green, ballgowns since I was a little girl for my maids to wear. This was not popular, and again Dina did not give up! She found the most beautiful dresses with pockets too! The fabric was amazing and all my maids looked divine! Thank you again to the whole team at Bride To Be Couture for everything that you guys did to make my wedding day the best day EVER!!! Love, Alisha Widenmann

I had such an amazing experience at Bride to Be Couture and they made me feel so special during my appointment. Alaina was the best and knew exactly what dress shapes would work for my body. I completely trusted her to find dresses for me and everyone that she pulled looked great on me. She was so patient and helpful as I retried on several dresses until I was able to make my final decision and say yes to the dress. I would highly recommend Alaina and Bride to Be Couture to anyone who is looking for a great experience shopping for their wedding dress.

Had an amazing experience here. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. I didn’t expect to find a dress when I walked in but boy was I impressed! Alaina listened to my likes and dislikes as I tried each one on. When I was stuck between two she showed up with a dress that when I tried on I knew was perfect. She gave me the time to think in it and make my decision.

They have a beautiful store that feels very personal! My consultant was so sweet and helped me in and out of every dress. The fitting room was huge and gorgeous and I felt so comfortable and confident there! Overall amazing experience and I left with the dress of my dreams!

Mina was great. She was honest about which dresses complimented my body shape the best, and helped me find the perfect dress. I also was extremely happy with the seamstress (I forgot her name). She did great work.

I went here because it's near my parent's house and I knew a few friends who got their dresses here. Their dress selection was great, but they are full of hidden fees. It felt like they were so sneaky and money hungry about every little thing after I got my dress. I live in San Diego, my dress got in a month and a half early, and they wanted to charge me to hold the dress there until alterations when I was in town for my bridal shower which was the time frame the dress was originally supposed to be in anyway. They sent my dress home in a CLEAR bag... How can you keep it a surprise when you see right through the bag. They charged me for a white, less see through garment bag. The customer service once they had my money for the dress went totally down hill.

I can not speak highly enough of this store. Alaina was my consultant and from the moment I met her, I felt like she genuinely cared about me, my experience and finding the perfect dress. She stayed within my budget and wasn't the slightest bit pushy - she spent extra time helping me try on all of the dresses I picked out, and when it was clear that I couldnt decide between 2 she let me take photos of both, go home and sleep on it, and I came back in the next morning having decided on what was best!! In the end, I got my dream dress at the perfect price!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Found the most beautiful vintage inspired dress here. My consultant Mina listened to what I wanted and helped me fine the perfect dress; the shop is lovely and compfortable and I had a wonderful experience there.

There was a great selection of dresses at Bride to be Couture and I found the perfect dress there! All of my fittings went well, and the staff was all wonderful to work with.

Found my dream wedding dress here, all thanks to Anita! Seriously, she is so sweet and amazing at what she does! The dress I ended up buying was the very first one she picked out based off the pictures on my Pinterest that I showed her, and boy did she nail it! Although it was he first dress she picked out, it was actually the last one I tried on (since it was at the back of the pile) but I loved pretty much every single dress she picked out for me, I was overwhelmed which decisions because I loved them all so much, which just goes to show how awesome she is at her job and really listened to me and truly found styles that I really liked and wanted all while staying within my budget!! I had been to several other bridal boutiques before coming here and was slightly discouraged because all of the dresses I liked at the other boutiques were way over my budget, but Anita was amazing at finding the style of dress I wanted within my budget. Dresses similar to the one I bought here were all easily over $2,000 at all the other boutiques I went to... so needless to say, I was elated with the whole process and experience. Huge thank you to Anita and all the wonderful Bride to Be Couture staff! You all went above and beyond in helping me find the dress of my dreams!! **Have not had alterations done yet, but will update once I receive my dress and get my alternations done. **I will post photos of the dress after my wedding.

I have to admit, I was not the typical bride walking in to this like a princess ready for her enchanted wedding gown. But by the time I left, I was on cloud nine and beyond excited to wow Prince Charming with the beautiful dress I had picked! The staff took such great care of myself as well as my entourage. Angel was our assistant and did such an amazing job making us feel right at home! And come to find out, our wedding planner only recommends this spot for shopping to all of her local brides (despite that it's an hour drive... that's how good they are!!!). Bride to Be Couture for the WIN!

I couldn't have imagined a better dress shopping experience than what I had at Bride To Be Couture two weekends ago. I did a fair amount of research on bridal salons and dress designers before I chose where to go shopping and I selected this salon because of their incredible selection of gowns and designers in my budget. I decided to make only one appointment for the day I selected to dress shop and I couldn't have made a better choice! My mom, Future Mother-in-Law, and two of my bridesmaids came with me to my appointment and there was plenty of room for them to sit outside of my dressing room and sip champagne while I put on a mini-bridal fashion show for them. My consultant, Monica, pulled some gorgeous gowns based on what I told her I liked, and she told me and my crew that we could walk around the store and grab whatever dresses caught our eye. I know many stores don't allow that kind of "hands on" approach, so I really appreciated the ability to do a little searching myself and include my girls in the search. Monica and my crew ended up pulling about 10-12 dresses for me to try on and then the real fun began. Every dress I tried on was gorgeous - my mom even started crying at the first gown I walked out in! Even though I was standing in the dressing room practically butt naked with a stranger, Monica didn't make me feel awkward at all. It was like we'd been friends for years. She also didn't seem to be trying to push me to like any dresses just to get a sale, but instead was genuinely invested in helping me find a gown I felt amazing in. The last dress I tried on was that dress. My mom cried, I cried, we all cried - and then we popped champagne as I said "Yes!" To the dress! I asked Monica to help me figure out what kind of veil to wear and she went and grabbed one and it was an instant winner - she's a veil genie. I ended up coming in under budget (extra money for shoes!!) with the dress of my dreams and was on a cloud the rest of the day with my crew of girls. Thank you, Bride To Be Couture for such an amazing dress shopping experience. Ladies, if you want to only go to one shop and find the dress of your dreams - this is your one-stop shop! (Particularly if you like lace dresses - their selection is INCREDIBLE!)

I LOVED Desi! Everyone was so welcoming and made me feel at ease. They got everyone involved and we had an excellent time. Desi pulled dresses I was interested in but then grabbed some that were the opposite of what I was looking for and I fell in love with a dress I wasn't expecting. I made the mistake of going to David's Bridal after and the experience was not good. The girl kept yanking dresses over my head and wasn't listening to me. I called Desi right after and placed my dress on hold. Should have stayed there and saved myself some time.

I loved the buying process for the dress and the girls that helped me during the entire process were fantastic. It was always about exactly what I wanted and they convinced me not to settle and to keep looking if I wasn't happy. I shopped at 7 different stores and I went for 2 appointments before buying my dress at Bride to Be Couture. It was a gorgeous backless lace dress with beaded straps! The owner worked with me on price and threw in basic alterations, which was awesome. The part I didn't love was the fit. I know it is backless so my "girls" didn't have much support but even at the last fitting I felt exposed and their solution was buy fashion tape?!?! I spent how much and I have to buy fashion tape. We were running short on time so I went with it but I wished there would have been a better solution to the problem. As long as I stood up perfectly straight the dress was perfect, but any slouching left me hanging out. Buying experience lovely, alterations not so much.

I ended up here after one of my bridesmaids and I found a bridesmaid dress we liked at another shop, but wanted to try on in the right size and see in other colors. I found Bride to Be Couture was a vendor for WTOO, and when we called, they had the dress in the right size and were free to see us. I ended up ordering the dresses for my bridesmaids there, and they shipped one to my bridesmaid living in New York. The other they altered for us, and everything went smoothly, minus some confusion one day when I called in the middle of a busy afternoon. I called back at a better time, and all was good! They altered the dress in 2 days too :-) They weren't cheap, but they were definitely $100 nicer than the ones at David's Bridal. I picked a style and color they'd be able to wear to many events down the road, so it was worth the upgrade. I like everyone who worked at Bride to Be, and had I not already found my own wedding dress, I absolutely would have gone here to find one. The shop is clean and nice, and while their selection isn't huge, everything I saw was beautiful.

Great service and very reasonable!
