D'Angelo Couture Bridal

VID-19, I couldn't make it back to NC for fittings. Diane was AMAZING and allowed me to ship my dress to her store for the fittings. She helped me pick out a veil. She facilitated the alterations and provided me with so much reassurance and ease when the dress needed a lot of work. Even with COVID-19 making my wedding planning and fittings incredible stressful, Diane and Susan were just amazing through the entire process. I cannot recommend this salon and these ladies enough!

nd left in tears before going to D'Angelo Couture Bridal where I found the dress of my dreams! It was exactly what I was looking for with the added plus of supporting a local designer, that made it even more special. Diane was so accommodating and really friendly, it made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. The salon is quaint and comfortable, they make you feel so special from the moment you walk in. The only downfall for me was with the seamstress that the salon works with. I had to have more fittings than usual because I wasn't happy with the quality of her work, in the end there were little things I think she could've done better, but the dress still look beautiful thanks to the amazing design. I would probably recommend brining in your own seamstress. Regardless, you will love Diane's designs and feel so great supporting a local San Diego designer! My dress was perfect and I loved it!

t this bridal store. Liz greeted me and shake my hand saying she will be helping today. Liz was very nice and friendly, made me feel very comfortable right away. She asked if I had some inspirational pics of my dream dress. Also asked what was the most important thing about my dress. After a 5 min interview she pulled down a few dress and started trying them on. After the 3rd dress I knew I found the one but keep trying on more dresses just to make sure I didn’t miss one but went back to that one dress. Thank so much for making my experienced so wonderful.

on was completely reworked in the best way possible! I found an incredibly unique and beautiful dress that fit my budget and fit my personality and body type PERFECTLY. Diane was incredible with customer service with getting the dress shipped quickly, adding extra length (I'm over 6 feet tall!) and with adding a bustle. Her shop is welcoming and refreshing and I cannot wait to walk down the aisle in a gorgeous dress!!!

p was an absolute blessing. I started trying on her dresses and immediately noticed the unique and high-quality dress options. I asked the woman helping me who the designer was and she said "let me go get her". I was shocked. I explained what I was looking for and Diane ran back to get her sketchbook. We sat together for 2 hours going over the details of my ideal dress. She hand designed all of lacework and we collaborated on all of the fabrics and colors. My friends and family don't believe me when I tell them this story because no other bridal shops go to this length for their customers. I teared up when I saw the prototype and I can't wait to see my final dress. With all the difficult decisions that come along with wedding planning, choosing her bridal shop for my dress was by far the easiest. I couldn't recommend D'Angelo Couture more!

nt dress and I knew it was the one! They have dresses for all shapes and sizes (I have some curves) and don’t shame you for your size. When the dress arrived I tried it on with Diane and she was so sweet and welcoming. She took the time to modify the bottom of my dress right there and pulled the perfect lace sleeve to add to my dress. There will be bridesmaids dresses available in November and I can’t wait to send my bridesmaids there to try on dresses. They will also hold your dress there until your final fitting.

l and within my budget. I really did not like how I looked in my dress when I bought it. After tailoring I look like a princess. Diane also gave me suggestions of what underwear to use not to mark lines, what to do about spots if someone drops something on me and how to deal with the tight straps. I can not thank Diane enough.

ved the design. I was thrilled with my finished look. Thanks Again

had in mind. We just finished my fitting to have the dress altered and I am beyond excited as to how it will turn out. Thanks for your hospitality Diane!

n't bat an eye...she gave me a lot of great options! Much different than the treatment I'd received at a previous store. She was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process and even added some beautiful blue jewels on part of my dress for me for free. I can't say enough good things about her and the beautiful shop she runs. Thank you!

reciated Diane's wealth of knowledge, the education she provided me, and her expert eye in fitting my dress perfectly to me herself. My mom and I really enjoyed Diane's company, too. "Come in a customer, leave as a friend" quote on her wall is authentically her motto. Diane, thank you for everything.

based on The Knot’s best of, Diane D’Angelo Bridal is the place to be. So there I went, 2 months before my wedding, I went to D’Angelo’s and from the moment I stepped in, I knew I was going to find “the one” here. I was first impressed with how the bridal salon looked. It looks so sleek and stylish. And then I was warmly welcomed by Elizabeth and then finally the owner, Diane. When I started to look at all their collection, I was just wowed. It was everything I’ve hoped for! They gave me suggestions on the style that would look good on me. And after an hour, I finally found the one. Because I had the experience from another bridal salon, I could easily say that their service is just topnotch compared to everyone else’s. The alterations appointments all went smoothly and Diane even asked on my availability and was very flexible with the times. The day finally came when I had to pick my dress up and I was surprised that Diane herself actually walked me to my car and put my dress in the trunk. She wanted to make sure that nothing will go wrong with the dress. From there you can really tell that they have exceptional service and they care so much about you and your dress. Thank you so much Diane, Elizabeth and team! You guys are amazing and I can’t wait to show you some amazing photos from the wedding!

oblems with the corset and went back multiple times for "tutoring" - EVERY person I dealt with was helpful, professional, patient and FABULOUS! I feel so grateful that I happened upon this place and cannot say enough great things about this entire team! So many beautiful dresses and the most AMAZING team that cares about you!

ed to delete this post, and asked for proof that I was a customer! Unbelievable....of course, I provided proof and they notified me they would keep the review. But is this what happens to all the honest reviews?! They get requested to be deleted instead of trying to follow up and make mends :/ Please don't go to this store, I'm sure you'll find another bridal shop that will respectfully help you create your happily ever after! ORIGINAL POST: extremely heartbroken and disappointed, definitely not worth what I paid, overly expensive and poor customer service... I would NEVER recommend anyone getting their dress from here, and ESPECIALLY altered. Diane is very intimidating to work with. She always mentioned how "experienced" she was, so I went along with it. It wasn't until I paid her the full amount, that I started noticing her being more hostile with her comments. I was honestly confused, because at times she was really nice and at times I felt like I couldn't truly speak up for my preferences from her passive statements. Diane was supposed to alter my dress to make a long sleeve and covered from all over. During the process, she made offensive comments to my mom and I, and never admitted she was wrong. At one point, she walked away from us, and said "I'm done". Like, who does that? and doesn't apologize? The wedding was getting closer and the last thing I wanted was to have a breakdown about my dress, or have someone disrespect my mom again. On our last "fitting", two days before the wedding, she "fixed" some things, wrapped the dress up, and walked me out. I was still intimidated to tell her how unsatisfied I was and just wanted to leave the store. I felt like if she tried to "fix" it anymore, it would've gotten worse. When I went home to try it on for my family, EVERYTHING FELL APART. Long story short, her work is unprofessional and sloppy (as you can see below in the pictures). Her stitching fell apart, the sleeves weren't the same sizes on each arm, cutting of the fabric wasn't clean, a button she added broke off, and the shade of sleeve were noticeably different from the chest area. Bless my mom and aunt, spent 2 straight days trying to fix all her mistakes and make the most of what they could. They didn't make me feel stressed once and made my dress look 100x better.

ing her my preferences and wedding details she selected a couple dresses for me to try. I didn't even tell her my size yet all the dresses fit. Although I tried on 3-4 it was actually the second one that I said yes to! It fit like a glove and has a timeless very figure flattering look that I can pass on to my future children. I got a great deal on the dress too! Less than $500 which compared to average dress prices is a bargain! Would definitely recommend​ this place for a stress-free easy way to find your dream dress on a budget.

e me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. I was very specific on what I wanted and Diane and her team were so sweet and patient throughout the entire process. They were very attentive and took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted in a dress. I never felt pressured and honestly felt like they really cared that I found “the one” and looked my very best. All of their styles they had chosen for me and shown me were beautiful and really fit my body type. The dress I ended up choosing, was the second dress I tried on. The material was gorgeous and fit like a glove. Easy to move and dance all night in. The girls at D’Angelo Couture truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend to anyone looking for their dream dress and all things bridal. Don’t go anywhere else!

big smile, later I found out she was the owner, lucky for me I got to meet her, her name was Diane. After talking to her, she made me feel better, she knew right away what I was looking. She introduce me to my consultant Shaey, which was very nice as well. Shaey had me try on three gowns and the third one made cry when I looked myself on the mirror, my mother and my sister were in tears too. That was a very soecial moment for us. I knew I found the one. From the start to the begging, Diane and Sahey were amazing and fit my laid back personality. All can say is thank you for the great experience and helping me find my dream dress.

Angelo's was my last stop and they were a blessing. I was provided great dress choices, of appropriate cost, and really listened to me as we narrowed down options. I left, having selected the perfect dress and feeling supported every step of the way.

perfect dress and made it mine in a month! I came in a nervous wreck and left floating on air . Thanks Again

t went back for my final fitting and it was completely perfect. Thank D’Angelo’s for making my dress dreams come true!!

my heart I was searching for but couldn’t express, somehow she just knew. Each time I’ve gone back I still feel so comfortable and relaxed. Diane has been amazing helping with my alterations, she’s extremely detailed and you can definitely tell her goal is to help you feel beautiful in your gown. Thank you to every single lady there. You all are the best!

he more special :)

myself, I didn’t feel like I was alone because she instantly became my friend. I ended up finding my gorgeous wedding dress here and it was the best experience I could have hoped for and more! Definitely recommend 👍

2 dress alteration appointments and pick up. I purchased the Jaya dress designed by Diane herself along with all of my accessories there too including my belt, hair comb and veil! Love you gals and thanks so much for helping to make me look beautiful on my wedding day!

p with a DREAM dress. I chose one that the shop owner, Diane, had made. It was so unique- and most importantly, comfortable!! I felt incredibly beautiful in it and it was so perfect for me. Diane really knows what she is doing, and she even remembered me months after the wedding when I needed help storing my dress. I highly recommend this shop!

ve and spent several hours with me going over dress options, alteration ideas and making sure that I was 100% happy. I never felt rushed and on my first visit I had the store to myself so I could browse, and I had Diane's undivided attention which was the shopping experience I really longed for. Diane has been in the bridal business for over 30 years and designs many of the dresses and accessories in the shop. While I was more set on one dress, when I came back the following day, I decided on one of her designs and it has everything I wanted in a dress. I couldn't be happier. Plus, Diane was very generous to work with my limited budget and I always felt that she wanted to make it all work out for me and to give me a delightful experience which she did. Definitely check out her shop if you are looking for a wide selection of dresses (she's got TONS of them - all beautiful and different styles) and great customer service, visit D'Angelo Couture. You can find your dream wedding, have an incredible shopping experience AND not break the bank. What more could a bride ask for?

me directions to other bridal salons (with no competitiveness at all) which was a refreshing after calling many bridal salons and having a consultant answer with obviously fake enthusiasm. I must admit when I entered the store I was slightly underwhelmed, it was not quite as "posh" as some of the other stores I had visited, but the consultant Reva proved me wrong! After about a 2 minute interview Reva said she knew exactly what I needed and pulled me 6 gowns within about 3 minutes. I had already tried on about 20 gowns elsewhere and had yet to be "wowed" but the first dress I tried on D'angelos brought my mother, sister and I to tears, and so did the second, and the third, and the fourth. Reva IMMEDIATELY understood what I was looking for and was so accommodating. Any positive or negative traits I mentioned concerning a dress were noted, and taken into account with the next dress selection. I felt completely comfortable handing myself over to her. I FOUND MY DRESS! And, it it perfect, it checks off every box on the list and I am even having a few pieces customized to make it uniquely mine. Reva assured me that Diane would be able to work within my budget to get me my dream dress and she delivered. To end the day, Reva even let my mother and sister each try on a dress so we could get the iconic friends picture from "The one with all the Wedding Dresses". I would 10/10 recommend this Bridal salon to any bride-to-be!

py with my purchase. Her dresses are amazing and she’s able to customize a dress if needed. I was also able to get my bridesmaids dresses here. If you want great customer service and an amazing reasonable priced dress then come here!

to just push a sell. At the end I changed out of my last dress and Michelle said goodbye as I was unzipping myself from the dress and I didn’t see her again

my dress has a lot of layers, is very intricate, and has a lot of beading. I wanted to make sure my dress was in good hands. I was immediately put at ease once I met Diane. She taught me so much about my dress (who the designer was, what materials it was made out of, etc). I could tell she was an expert and she handled the dress with such care. Although Diane initially helped me at my first fitting, it was Laila who worked on my dress and she is just as wonderful. I could tell she cared for my dress as much as Diane did and as much as me. When I went into my second fitting, I fell in love with my dress even more. The alterations she initially made, made such a difference! But, she wasn’t done yet! She continued to pin and analyzed every inch of the dress to ensure that it would be perfect. She explained the process along the way, making sure I completely understood what was being done to my dress. She would stop frequently and ask if I had any questions and wanted to make sure I was completely happy with how it was looking so far. Once she was done pinning, I turned to face the mirror and was in total aww... I couldn’t believe my dress could look any better and it did. It was so clear how well she knew wedding dresses and how to work with them. When I went to my final appointment and put the finished product on, I was so so so happy. Every inch of the dress fit perfectly (not a single budge, wrinkle, or anything). It fit as if it were made just for my body. I can’t wait to wear it for my big day. If you’re looking for people who will take care of you and your wedding dress, then you’ve come to the right place. They are passionate about what they do and it shows in their work. I could not be more satisfied.

creating the perfect dress for me. She has such an eye for creating stunning dresses that are not only beautiful but soooo comfortable! She uses the best material that feels like you aren’t wearing a tight dress. Something I can eat drink and dance in all night! She was able to customize my dress and make it exactly what I was picturing! If you want the dress of your dreams and something that is tailored to you and made just for you then come see Diane!!

into excactly what I wanted . I can’t wait to see it in person

at D'angelo Couture Bridal I found about 6 or 7 dresses I was in love with. The dresses are so unique and beautiful from any others I've seen in the city. Diane is so talented and passionate in creating her dresses, they are stunning and comfortable (which is so important if you're wearing it all day). If you are searching for a dress, go here first, I guarantee you won't regret it!

se what we flatter you best and provides any additional details that you want. The dresses are stunning and unique. Beyond that, the personal attention that you receive, is hard to find anywhere else, believe me, I looked. I would rhighly ecommend her to anyone searching high and low for the perfect dress.

ey go into D'Angelo Couture - take my review seriously, I didn't take reviews on her seriously and I am full of regret. Save yourself the trouble and go ANYWHERE ELSE. This review could be very long, but the gist of it is: I ordered a custom dress from Diane. The top of one with a different back, and the skirt of another. She then made the wrong top, the skirt was not like the sample and had to be redesigned, made the correct top in a little over a week (when she had over a month to do it), it was done sloppy and was incomplete, the skirt was then sewn on to the bodice on the incorrect place, and instead of admitting that it was sewn to where my hips are instead of my waist (not flattering), asked me if I gained weight (there were two days between my appointments). There was also a blood stain on my dress after alterations. Overall, I spent $1400 on a poorly made dress, then had to bring it to Denver to get it fixed, at an additional cost of $775, not to mention the cost of my flights to San Diego for alterations that could "only be done by her" since it was a custom dress. Diane had agreed to pay for alterations that I had done in Denver, but then only ended up reimbursing me $275 because she did not agree with the new seamstress in Denver. DO NOT GIVE THIS WOMAN ANY MORE BUSINESS. She is arrogant, rude, disrespectful, is not the amazing seamstress and designer she claims to be, and does not take responsibility for her mistakes. Do not let this woman fool you! There are so many other bridal salons, choose any of those!! She made my dress, which should be one of the best parts of wedding planning, a nightmare, and way more expensive than I planned on.
