Casablanca Bridal & Formals

oment I got engaged. Their seamstress, she knows what destination wedding time frames look like and believe me she is great at what she does. I love how they were able to work with my payments from my uncle in the mainland. The communication between them and myself was great, especially when you know us brides with our million concerns. Finding the dress was a wonderful experience at Casablanca. Thank you.

ecialist, Rowena did an excellent job in helping me narrow down my choices and always had excellent suggestions on how to enhance my dress. She also picked out the perfect veil and hairpiece. I could not have asked for a more magical wedding day.

hair and added jewelry so I could picture what I could look like on the day=-) Thank you Casablanca!!!!

d sweet-unbelieveable! I love that they let me try on so many and I fit their dresses perfectly. I tried on various styles of dresses in various fabrics. They let you take pictures in the dress and Gladys did a quick up do of my hair with a white flower. As I tried on other dresses, we tried different veils too! I love their Pronovias dresses straight from Barcelona, Spain. I also tried on a San Patrick dress. Even if this place may be a little pricey, all Brides-at least make it an experience for yourself to go! You will not be disappointed.

hings added to my dress, so the process occurred in segments to ensure it was done precisely) and lastly to pick up my dress. So on with my experience, from the moment I walked through the doors I always felt welcomed and was greeted with a smiling face. On my first visit I was on a time crunch and needed a dress asap for my wedding that was a month away. I was expecting to be rushed since I was one of those last minute brides, but that was definitely not the case. Gladys and Rowena were very patient and accommodating. They always made me feel comfortable and I thought it was so kind how they offer water, tea etc. they were both very easy to talk to and they listened to what I wanted. Their service is definitely superior to David's bridal! They showed me a handful of beautiful dresses that matched my description of what I was looking for. What I found super interesting was when they brought me a dress I would have never picked for myself. I thought it was ugly when I saw it on the hanger but I decided I would just try it on anyway. Oddly enough the dress ended up being my wedding dress. A few alterations and creative changes/customizations made the dress my dream dress. On my second visit I came for my initial fitting and was also in search of a hair piece. Rowena was so helpful and went a step above to give me a quick hair do to go with a gorgeous hair comb she picked. Giving me a quick hair style helped me gain a better vision of how it would look on my wedding day. I thought that was awesome of her. My third visit I came for my final fitting and they made sure my dress fit the way I wanted it to. I loved everything about the dress and the alterations they made were perfect. My final visit was to pick up my dress. They took special care to make sure my dress was perfect and exactly what I wanted. On my wedding day I felt so happy in my beautiful dress! Thank you Gladys, Rowena and you wonderful staff for all your help! Casablanca Bridal & Formals is the place to visit for an elegant, top of the line bridal gown! The only pointer I would add is come ready to spend some cash for the beautiful designer gowns they have. Most of the dresses I tried on were 1,000 and up. But with that being said future brides look no further, this is the one and only bridal store you need to visit. I can see why they have been in business for over 20 years because they are amazing at what they do, they truly care for what a bride wants and they have amazing staff members to help you every step of the way. I would recommend them 100 percent to all future brides!

peccable. Working with them was an amazing experience and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

live in Chicago. But, of course I found the one there. I was able to order the dress and have them ship it to Chicago. Once I got the dress, I tried it on and panicked because it was too tight. My mom called Gladys who immediately called me and told me that it was due to the pressing process and that she knew exactly how to fix it. She said that she would love to Skye with the lady doing my alterations and give her step by step instructions on how to release a couple inches from the dress. Thank you Gladys for all of your help!

you want to order one it takes quite awhile since many of their dressed are made to fit you from other countries. I ended up fitting perfectly in a dress many others had tried on. They ended up giving me a very good deal, and they cleaned it up very nicely. I really enjoyed working with the staff here!

idesmaids searching for my dream dress. The girls at Casablanca were very helpful and accommodating. Anything that my bridesmaids found in the magazines they had there, the staff went to find it and pull it from the racks in the back. It tried almost 20 dresses on before I found the "one". I actually had a bridal moment in my dress! I started to tear after one of the ladies put my hair up and put a flower in my hair. I knew immediately that I found my dream dress. The owner, Gladys, is so easy to work with and you can really tell that she loves what she does. She was so wonderful and helped me made my wedding day perfect by finding my dress!

r me and let us look thru their racks. They were very patient and had I found what I was looking for I would not have hesitated to buy thru them.

my PERFECT gown.

The owner of the store is very good about trying to get her brides their dresses as soon as possible!

went to pick up my gown and the lady was not in and they were closed. She showed up 30-45 mins later. I was completely in shock and was worried about not being able to pick up my dress. A bride does not need the added stress.

dresses. I didn't get the warm, fuzzy feeling though. And that was important to me.

rice range without asking me. Thumbs down.

with me. When I went to the shop, I discussed what I was looking for and she came by with several fancy bridesmaids dresses. I tried on a silver Vera Wang that looked goddess-like with the draping and empire waist. I loved it, bought it, and was out of there, happy, in about 45 minutes! I had a total of three fittings. I was scheduled to pick up my dress the day before my wedding. When I got to the shop, my dress wasn't there as it was being cleaned or pressed. I was kind of bothered, as my day was packed with things to do. Luckily, picking up the dress later in the day, after I picked up folks from the airport and before I took them to their hotel, worked out. And, they gave me a pair or rhinestone earrings to make up for it. On my wedding day, however, I couldn't find the French bussle that was supposed to be added to the dress, and it felt as though the top of my strapless dress was let out a little too much. It felt loose all day, and there were several pictures where I was caught adjusting my dress. Without the bussle, I was constantly holding up my dress so I wouldn't trip on it. But, I loved my dress, everybody loved my dress, I felt beautiful in it, so everything worked out anyway!

how the styles would look on me.

dress shopping truly enjoyable! They also have an expert eye for what works and what doesn't and can assist you with envisioning and completing your wedding day look. They had an AMAZING selection of dresses. I searched through TONS of dresses on `Oahu and the mainland, and FINALLY found it at Casablanca. I had expected that everything would be out of my price range, but there were a fair number of dresses that I could afford.

one of their staff, you know you are in the right place to go dress shopping, not only for the bride, but the bridesmaid(s), flower girl(s), mother of the bride/groom, and much more! They are an all-in-one shop where you can get a dress, supportive undergarments (highly recommended), accessories such as veils, tiaras, necklaces, earrings, toasting flutes, ring pillow, flower girl basket, and even shoes. They work with your budget and even offer a discount when you buy multiple items. Their staff is very professional and knowledgable. The selection is great and they carry sizes from petite to plus size! I'm a plus size girl and boy was I glad I went to Casablanca. Most sample sizes at other bridal salons only have size 0-16, if even that! Casablanca was consistent in helping me my appointments for my bridesmaids, mother-in-law and me. Even when I thought I was not going to fit my dress (I had gained weight), the owner, Gladys, reassured me that their seemstress would be able to let it out in some areas. Mind you, it is easier to take in than to let it out. Even going through great lengths to customize my dress the way I wanted it (I added lace to my train). My bridesmaids were so delighted, too because they had a wonderful selection to choose from. I had them all in the same style except for my matron of honor, but it was just wonderful to see all the girls pick the same dress. It was also convertible, meaning it could be worn with or without straps. Their gowns were long and elegant, and also custom made with a broach in the middle to add some sparkle! Anabelle, one of the employees, is super helpful and knowledgable. She has a great sense of style and is very personable. Rowie and Sonya are also very personable and knowledgable. Gladys, the ownder is very thorough and has great attention to detail. She is an absolutely amazing business woman. The seamstress did an absolutely amazing job on making my wedding gown fit me perfectly. All in all, Casablanca makes you feel extremely comfortable. Their selection is grand and within a reasonable price. The quality of their dresses are sturdy and you truly get what you pay for and then some! Their customer service is wonderful and my husband and I would highly recommend Casablanca Bridal and Formals not only for weddings, but for any special occasion.

1st dress trying outing, I brought my mom and some of my bridesmaids with me. Unfortunately the appointment did not go as well as I was imagining. First of all, the inside was not as nice as the outside appeared. Inside on the first floor was tons of bridesmaid/mother dresses shoved together. Upstairs there was one mirrored wall which was nice and some seating but not much. The girl that helped me was very nice, but since I didn't really know what I wanted, she just pulled dress after dress after dress, and I didn't like any of them! Don't get me wrong, the dresses were beautiful, but I think we were there for over 2.5 hours without any "aha" moments. Maybe I should've known what I wanted. But even so, she should have suggested dresses that would have flattered my figure or at least put a stop to it after the 15th dress. It was also irritating because they had several women trying on dresses and it was hard to see the mirror. Needless to say, it was an extremely disappointing first wedding dress shopping experience.

ress styles covering a wide range of prices. They ask you your budget as soon as you walk in, and they won't show you a dress outside of that budget so that you don't fall in love with something you can't afford. I looked forward to every appointment, not just to see my dress again but to enjoy the company of Gladys (the store owner) and her staff.

urchases. The salon's atmosphere made me feel as if I was a princess...gorgeous showcases of dresses jewelry veils etc. Loved the mirrored wall chandeliers furniture and staircase (which made for beautiful photo-ops.;the feel of wanting to shop there again and again for more dresses for whatever occasion! No complaints!
