D'Angelo Couture Bridal

Thank you for making my daughter Jen the most perfect dress for her! I wish you continued success and good health for your husband. Happy Mom

Diane helped me thru out my whole visit she was very helpful and the sweetest lady ever! I'm happy I waited to buy my wedding dress with her

I am originally from NC living in San Diego. I purchased my dress in NC with the intent of getting the alterations done there, etc. However, my dress was SIX WEEKS late and with COVID-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!

The designer Diane is so incredibly talented. I looked high and low for a dress that fit my body type and that would fit my San Diego beach theme, I went to so many bridal salons and 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!

I said yes to the dress! I came in overwhelmed from others Bridal stores appt. Didn’t have the energy to keep shopping but came In anyway because I heard wonderful things about 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.

My wedding is over and it was wonderful Diane made a custom black lace dress for me I’ll post pictures later thank you so much

Diane designed gorgeous custom dress for me using ideas of one dress and another combining it to the exact dress I wanted ,the color was spectacular. Thank you so much

Before entering the shop, I thought I already had a clear vision of what kind of dress I wanted. After browsing and discussing options with my family and the helpful staff, my vision 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!!!

I had a wonderful experience here, Diane knew just what fit me and I said yes to the dress I am very happy and awaiting my wedding my day this place has everything a bride needs.

After visiting several other bridal shops and finding nothing that was original or fit my body shape properly, I was starting to feel pretty discouraged. Finding Diane's bridal shop 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!

Best bridal shop I went to. They helped me with the little time I had. Great people! They work with you through the whole process! Thank you!!

I said yes to the dress! The atmosphere is very calm and organized. I loved a certain lace on a dress but not convinced on the style and Elizabeth pulled the same lace on a different 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.

Excellent service by Diane. Attention to detail was outstanding. Diane has not only done tailoring in a superb way, she found me matching earrings and veil which were both beautiful 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.

This review is long over due. Diane could have sold me a new dress (I was ready to, I bought a dress somewhere else ) but instead explained options to rework the fit and even improved the design. I was thrilled with my finished look. Thanks Again

I came in looking for a dress I couldn’t find elsewhere and lo and behold it was one that Diane had designed

Diane is so amazing! She literally can create anything you want! She has such amazing attention to detail and really cares about making everything perfect for each bride.

Had a great experience her. Diana helped me out, she was extremely friendly and outgoing. She had suggestions on how to improve the dressed and really stuck with the budget that I 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!

Diane is absolutely wonderful! She is passionate about what she does and it shows. She makes a lot of her own gowns. When I came to her shop and told her what my budget was she didn'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!

D'Angelo Couture Bridal was the first place I looked and I found my dress within an hour. In fact, it was hard to narrow it down because there were so many beautiful choices. I appreciated 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.

What can I say. Diane is exceptional. I had actually picked a dress from another shop but then on my second fitting, I didn’t like it anymore. So I had to look for another one and 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!

My whole experience here was so positive! I was not even certain that I wanted a "real" wedding dress until I found THE dress that fit perfectly and was the best price! We had problems 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!

UPDATE: Can't believe this!!!! I wrote an honest review about my disappointing experience 6 months ago. Yesterday, I get an email from The Knot saying D Angelo reported and requested 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.

I found D'Angelo Bridal online and they sent me a letter in the mail about a huge sale going on. I went in with my mom and fiancee. Naomi attended to us and was amazing! After telling 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.

Overall WONDERFUL experience. I wasn’t expecting to find my dress on the first visit – but I did! The store has a huge selection – which can be very intimidating, however they made 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!

I found my dream dress! After trying 3 bridal shop with pushy sales people, I was overwhelmed by time I got the Angelo Couture. As soon as I walked in, someone greeted us with a 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.

Diane and her team provided excellent and professional customer service in pursuit of finding my wedding dress. I had visited two other dress shops before them, with no success. D'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.

This review is long time coming .I will remember the experience and support Diane gave me for a long time.The military doesn’t always work with your plans. Diane helped me find the perfect dress and made it mine in a month! I came in a nervous wreck and left floating on air . Thanks Again

I couldn’t have imagined a better dress buying experience than the one I had at D’Angelo’s. Diane and her team are superstars. I loved every minute of finding my dream dress! I just went back for my final fitting and it was completely perfect. Thank D’Angelo’s for making my dress dreams come true!!

Found my dream dress with the help of Naomi and Diane back in March. They made me and my group feel so incredibly welcomed. I appreciated how Naomi truly listened to what I knew in 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!

I’m so thankful I came here, the women who work here are all so nice and very helpful! They helped me find MY perfect dress! <3 Thank you so much girls! My day is going to be all the more special :)

Love this place! I was just driving by so I thought I’d step in to see what they have and I was instantly welcomed by Shae and she was just the sweetest! Even though I showed up by 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 👍

Everyone at D'Angelo Couture was so helpful each time I came in starting from my initial appointment confirmation call from the owner and designer, Diane all the way through to my 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!

Diane and her team are so amazing! The shop itself is so welcoming, and it's full of knowledgeable, passionate women. They had a great selection, I never felt rushed, and I ended up 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!

I just said yes to my dream wedding dress today at D'Angelo Couture and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Diane (the shop owner and designer) was incredibly patient, informative 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?

I knew I was going to find my dress at D'Angelo's immediately after speaking to the owner/designer, Diane, to book an appointment. When I called she was very friendly and even gave 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!

I found my perfect dress for an amazing price!!! Diane and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do. This was the first bridal shop I walked into and I could not be more happy 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!

The costumer experience was beyond horrible. Michelle didn’t ask me what style I was interested in nor take in account anything I said I was looking for. I felt like she was trying 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

If I could rate this place with 10 stars I would. I was referred over to Diane and her team for alterations on my wedding dress. To be honest, I was really nervous at first because 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.

Gorgeous gowns! Great customer service! Highly recommended

Diane is the best! I told her what my vision was and she picked the best dresses! All designed by her! She was able to keep pulling dresses (in my size!) so I could keep seeing and 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!!

I found my perfect dress! Michelle really listened to me and brought me what I was looking for. The very first one I tried on ended up being it!

This place has great selection of amazing different and surprisingly comfortable dresses. The designer is in house some days and I got to meet her . She changed one of her dresses into excactly what I wanted . I can’t wait to see it in person

I am so happy that I found this place!!! I have been to so many places throughout the city and couldn't even find one dress that I liked. However, my first day of trying on dresses 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!

What can I say? When someone is right they ae right. From start to finish, Diane has taken my thoughts and wants and put a magic touch on them. She has an uncanny ability to choose 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.

I will start this by saying I am not one to write a review - I felt the need to write this review so that other brides could be warned, and know what they are walking into when they 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.

Diane made my dream dress! I fell in love with the top of a beautiful beaded dress but the circle skirt was not right for my body type (I'm 5 ft. tall and petite). Diane transformed the dress to fit me perfectly (modified A line). Essentially, I was able to get a custom dress for the price of an off the rack dress, saving me thousands of dollars. I was able to keep all the parts of the original dress that I loved (the trim and beading). The final dress was even more beautiful than I imagined. Thank you Diane for working so hard to make my dream dress!

Rebecca was so much help and assured me that she would find the perfect dress and she did! I'm absolutely in love with it 😍

Amazing Experience!!!!! Where to began DIANE is just such a great person Not only is she sweet and super kind and friendly but she's super talented her dresses are just one of a kind. I came to San Diego looking for the perfect wedding dress a within just a month before my wedding my fiance and I where on a budget just like any other bride sometimes and she was extremely helpful from finding the style to the type of dress that worked with my body and all within my budget wich was also very important for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE Wanna look like a million bucks bride? This is the place haha . Thanks again so much Diane

We had a great time finding dresses to try on for my wedding. Rebecca was very helpful and charismatic. She made it an easy and comfortable experience to find the dress that I was happy to wear on the big day. I would definitely recommend making a stop here to find your wedding dress!

Overall this salon was a great experience. They never brought me dresses over my budget or pushed for me to spend more- but they really listened to what I wanted. I only give this 4 stars because a couple of the employees we worked with didn't seem to care about their customers or tried to go above and beyond. The owner is such an amazing woman and knows exactly what and how to handle situations. For instance, when I went to pick up my dress- it didn't seem like they had actually cleaned it, steamed it or fixed loose ends. She immediately sat me down and 30 minutes later everything was fixed. I would definitely recommend Dianne and Kristi and the unique dresses they have to offer!!!

I can' thank Diane and her team enough! The week before my wedding I had some complications with my original wedding dress (to say the least). My sister and I came in Monday morning just to see if we could find a different dress.. and they made my dream dress happen. Keep in mind this was Monday and my wedding was on Friday!! I seriously can't thank them enough for all the time, attention and care they gave to us. I don't think any other place would have been able to accommodate such short notice with the purchase and alterations of a wedding gown. It turned out perfect and was one of the highlights of our big day. My husband looooved the dress! So blessed that we were able to meet all of you and make this work. The vail was also stunning and Diane made it minutes. I recommend any and every bride to come here. They have a huge variety of dresses, amazing customer service and you call tell they love what they do. Everything happens for a reason and I'm so thankful this worked out. You guys are the BEST!!!

Diane was the absolute best! I first went wedding dress shopping earlier this year and after trying on my dress, I had a feeling it was the "one". Since D'Angelos was the first bridal boutique I visited, I decided to try on dresses at a couple other places in town. The more dressed I tried on elsewhere, the more I realized how perfect the dress at D'Angelos was. I got married over a month ago and I am SO happy with the dress I chose. It was unbelievably comfortable; I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night! I received so many compliments. Diane is so very talented. Customer service at D'Angelo's was the best. From dress shopping to the final fitting, everything was beyond perfect. Thank you to Diane and her wonderful staff!

D'Angelo is truly amazing!! I'm a second time bride who wanted to look amazing because my guy proposed 38 years ago and I married someone else. This is your long lost love story of getting a second chance to get it right and Diane made me feel like the princess. I wanted my dress to be stunning but age appropriate. From the moment I walked into the salon I did not feel out of place, I felt special and knew immediately I was valued as a customer but also as a person. I could go on and on about the attributes of the staff, the selection and being able to find MY Perfect Dress. Thank you for making me feel wonderful!!

I was thrilled with the selection and the personalized care. Diane and her team helped me every step of the way from the dress to the earrings. They shared their tips and tricks from years of experience. Thank you!!

D'Angelo is one of the best bridal shops I've been to! Very professional and creative! Connie and Yanelli made my experience amazing! Such sweet ladies! I showed them the dress I was looking for and found it the first try! Connie has a lot of talent and imagination when it came to putting the accessories together with my dress. I am more than pleased with their kindness and help. Definitely recommended coming here first to find your dress! Beautiful selection!

D'Angelo Couture was a treat! A wonderful experience! Found the perfect dress for my special day, Diane was a delight, very knowledgeable. Connie and Yanelli where very sweet, always had a smile on their face .

D'Angelo is one of the best shops I've been to! I would not send anyone anywhere else but D'Angelo's! Besides the fact that they have such a great selection of dresses, they have them at such a reasonable price and they are designed by the owner! Diane and her staff are an amazing group of girls and so sweet! They deserve more than just the 5 stars!

D'Angelo Couture was one of best shops I've been to! Not only was Diane and the bridal consultants sweet and very helpful, they actually listened to what I was looking for and what I wanted in my dress! The selection of dresses that they have at D'Angelo's is amazing, so many different styles to choose from! I will DEFINITELY be recommending D'Angelo Couture to every bride I meet!

Diane truly cares about her brides and she has the talent, imagination, contacts and resources to make their dreams come true!

I had a 1950s styled wedding, so my taste was very particular. I thought I would reach out to Diane for help, and I am so glad I did! Her and her staff are so knowledgeable and so helpful. She made sure I had everything I needed from the dresses for me and my girls, to the vintage styled accessories, to the faux fur jacket I wore. She makes your vision her vision. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks again for helping my dream come to life

Good old fashioned service you don't see much anymore. Diane is so wonderful and talented. I recommend that every bride visits this salon first before purchasing her gown.

Diane and Conny took care of me in everyday, from helping me pick the perfect dress to designing my bridesmaids skirts. They are very warm and experienced. Highly recommend!

D'Angelo's is great! I went in knowing what type of dress I wanted, but after seeing the wide variety of dresses they carry I began opening up my options. They suggested styles of dresses that would better fit my form. I ended up finding my dress, veil, and under garments there on my first day of dress shopping! The women working there are so sweet, honest and knowledgeable.

Connie at D'Angelo was amazing! She helped me try on dresses in a variety of styles close to my budget. She helped me find a dress that I absolutely love and will highly consider as "the one." In addition, Diane was also very helpful and willing to work with me on price. I highly recommend this place! :)

Diane is my hero. After shopping for a wedding dress at 12 stores (wish I were exaggerating) and trying on countless lace sheaths and ball gowns and feeling like I was wearing a costume every time, I happened upon D'Angelo Couture. I showed up without an appointment, and Connie accommodated me. She was great to work with. D'Angelo has a huge selection of dresses and a lot of styles you won't find in other stores. I found a gorgeous dress, but I wanted to drop the neckline, open the back, and change the fabric. Diane sat down and sketched my ideal dress, quoted the price, and placed the order. She's a miracle worker. And her prices are incredibly reasonable! I can't wait to see the final product. I highly recommend D'Angelo Couture to any bride looking for the perfect wedding dress. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can design your own! You can't lose. Save yourself the hassle of making a dozen agonizing appointments and start with Diane. You'll be glad you did.

The store has a good selection of dresses, however, if you find the perfect one- do not dare to leave the store. I found the perfect dress after 2 hours. Asked Connie, the sales associate, if she could place the dress on hold until the end of the day. I even went so far to offer my credit card information to hold the dress. She assured me that she would hold the dress until 5pm. I called her at 4:30 and let her know I definitively wanted the dress but wanted to come try it on one more time in the morning. If she could hold it for me until then, great! If not, I can put the deposit over the phone now. Connie said she would ask Diane, the owner, and call me back. Instead, Connie's daughter called me back at 5:30pm to let me know they sold the dress. Obviously the dress was sold before I called at 4:30 because the store closed at 5pm! If you really like something here, even if it is the first store you stopped at, make sure you buy it. Unfortunately, they are not in the business of customer service, they are in the business of selling and they will sell the dress they promised they would hold for you. Very disappointed!!!

First off I would like to say all the good reviews you are reading about Diane and this shop are true, it really is as wonderful as everyone describes if not better!! Back in May I happened upon Dangelo after a horrible experience at a few stops before hand, and ready to walk down the aisle in a suite! My mom saw the store off the freeway on our way home and convinced me to just stop in and take a look. Minutes later I was waiting to make an appointment for another day when Verda walked in and said she could take me right then, even though I hadn't called ahead. Needless to say the rest is history because once I met Verda I was in good hands! She made me feel so comfortable like a good friend would, and really listened to all I was saying, the good and the bad about how I wanted to look on my wedding day. I didn't think it could happen, but with Verda's help I found the dress of my dreams! (no suite needed!) It was truly meant to be walking into her store that day, I am so glad I did! It's not just the fact that I found a gorgeous and affordable dress at this store, but how wonderfully they treat you, because I can tell you from experience other stores in San Diego are not like this one. Diane and Verda make you feel at home, like your apart of their family. They tell you the truth, are honest, helpful and kind. Know that going into Diane's shop she will help make your vision a reality, and you WILL ask yourself why you hadn't gone to her store from the start, there is truly no place in San Diego like Diane's shop. The best advice I can give to brides looking for a dress is to have a vision but be open minded to how amazing that vision could be. Diane and Verda can work magic and if you put your dreams in their hands you will come out looking and feeling better then you ever thought you could! I am so thankful I found Diane and didn't settle for an over priced or over produced dress from a generic store, but found her one of a kind boutique. The memory's and experiences my mom and I have had here are priceless. I honestly can't say thank you enough to Diane and Verda for making this experience as wonderful as it has been for my mom and I, we appreciate them so much! Looking forward to the months ahead with this amazing team!

Diane was very helpful during my wedding preparation. When I was in doubt about something, she was right there ready to give me brilliant ideas. Thank you.

When I first started looking for a dress like most girls I had a vision in mind on how I wanted my dress. As I walked through the doors of D' Angelo's there were so many gorgeous gowns and not to mention the staff was very welcoming and nice. After trying on a few dresses I found the one. And unlike most brides I wanted my wedding dress to be black. When I talked to Diane ( the designer) about it she said she could make that happen. And WOW she did!!! She has gone over and beyond what I could have ever imagined and my dress is just absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍 I had the most amazing experience here and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding dress.

Great job Diana! So thankful for having such a talented designer and team on my side for my wedding date. Ordered the wrong color dress and they fixed it with ease :) So happy to say we found each other!! I would absolutely recommend any bride to put their trust in Diana's and Laila's very capable hands!

Diane is the absolute best!! I cannot recommend this bridal salon highly enough! I ended up finding the perfect dress on my first visit and bought it that very same day!! Once I had on the dress and mentioned a couple alterations I would prefer, Diane, the owner of the salon, assured me that she could do the alterations easily, quickly, for considerably less than most, and even suggested some really unique and great ideas! I trusted her instantly and I am glad I did. She completed all of my alterations within a couple months and the dress is absolutely perfect, I cannot wait to wear it on my big day! As if the dress alone was not enough, she also altered my mothers veil to perfection, AND she designs her own hair pieces (I honestly feel as if she designed the one specifically for me because it is so perfect)!! She made this whole process entirely too easy :) Again, I simply cannot recommend Diane and D'Angelo Couture highly enough, she is amazing.

Diane did a great job helping me create the perfect Wedding dress. She helped me transform my mother's 30 year old wedding dress into a new, sleek, beautiful dress. I had an idea of what I wanted and Diane encouraged my thoughts and worked with me to achieve the image I had in mind. Every visit was so much fun with my bridal party, friends and mother. Diane kept the atmosphere positive, non-stressful and organized. I couldn't have asked for a better dress. The price was also amazing! I told her what I was willing to spend and she agreed to my range immediately. She also helped me find the perfect veil for one heck of a price! I cannot wait until the big day when I get to show off this masterpiece. Diane you are a genius! My family and I all want to thank you! xoxo Mackenzie

Everyone needs to visit Diane! After a few (very) disappointing experiences with boutiques in the area, my MOH found D'Angelo on Yelp and called to make an appointment. They scheduled us to come in that same afternoon, and immediately our experience was vastly different! Verda welcomed us in, showed us where the different sections are, then turned us loose to browse to our hearts' content! (unlike another major retail chain that wants you to look at pictures and won't let you try on more than 3...) Verda was great, not pushy, very friendly and helpful; with her help, I found a dress I loved. I needed a different color, so I placed an order...but there was a problem on the other end and the delivery got delayed. Diane finally told them to send her the dress, in pieces, and she'd help me with the color and put it together herself. She went above and beyond to help me! She found some gorgeous fabric in LA, then put my dress together with the new color and the dress was instantly transformed into MY dress. I loved my dress; it was gorgeous, flawless, and comfortable for the entire day! The level of quality and care shown instantly sets D’Angelo’s far above the rest. Diane treats each bride like an individual; she truly cares about making each experience unique. Every bride should go to D’Angelo’s first. If you have enough time before your wedding, you should look into having her design your bridesmaids’ dresses; her custom creations are gorgeous. Thank you for everything, Diane!

I was so lucky to find my wedding dress at D'Angelo Couture. I had tried a few other bridal salons before and was not satisfied with what I had seen. Then I walked into D'Angelos (without an appointment) and an associate there pointed out one of their discontinued dresses that I fell in love with. The icing on the cake came when they said they could add purple fabric on the back like in a picture I had shown them, and I said yes to the dress! Diane the owner worked with me personally during the alterations and worked her magic to make my dream dress a reality! The price was fantastic as well; sure it was an older model dress but I got the dress, alterations, dry cleaning, and even my sister's maid of honor dress for around $1200, so needless to say we got a great deal! D'Angelo's even offers dress clean up and preservation which I might take them up on. Thanks so much to Diane and her hardworking staff for making me shine on my wedding day!

I love D'Angelo couture! I looked everywhere for a dress and found the perfect one here. Very good prices and lots of different styles:) you won't regret it.

Back in February I came to Dangelo Couture in hopes of finding the perfect dress.. After already making one previous stop and already feeling overwhelmed, I didn't really know what to expect. I met with Verda who made me feel comfortable and helped in finding multiple dresses that fit the look i was going for (open low back with an A line flowy bottom) my problem is, I'm extremely petite and I swim in prototype dresses so even after pinning me in I was unable to see the full look. I stepped into one dress that I loved, walked out and my bridal party did not love it, needless to say i immediately felt discouraged and just wanted to leave. Verda could see the look of defeat in my eyes and immediately brought me back to my dressing room and gave me a Pep talk and suggested I meet with Diane for a custom dress. Of course when you hear custom all you see is $$. But Diane met with me saw my vision and made sure to stay within my budget. She even had a minimal amount of this gorgeous French lace (that was not within my budget) but it just so happened to be just enough for my size so she made it work for me! I felt comfortable through all of the different phases as she kept me informed and always booked my next appointment before I left. I just had my final fitting and I absolutely LOVE my dress I don't think I would have been able to find it in store and I can't thank Diane enough for making my dream come true, and being patient with me along the way as my weight kept fluctuating. Thank you thank you thank you! I honestly can't thank you enough!

I am having a civil ceremony with only three weeks to plan and shop. I had visited three notable chain stores with no success on dress selection, staying within budget, assistance, or customer service. My mom found Dangelo and although we arrived a few minutes before opening, we were welcomed in by Diane. I provided specifics and she directed me right where my perfect dress would be. Diane offered suggestions and alternatives as though she read my mind and knew my style. I didn't buy my dress that day and regret wasting any more of my time at other bridal boutiques. I returned three days later and bought my dress. Diane helped with embellishments and alterations. It was one stop shopping. She gladly met my quick turnaround time and took a lot of stress away. Dangelo has a lot of beautiful dresses and accessories. What was critical to me is I'm a 2nd time bride and noticed other stores neglect this population of weddings. Finding a bridal dress for a civil ceremony was incredibly challenge until I entered Dangelos. Brides I encourage you to go here first and not waste your time, money, and excitement elsewhere. You will be rewarded with care, attention, and teamwork to fulfill your dress dream.

I purchased my dress from another location and took my dress to Diane D'Angelo to have a belt added on and the bustle done. Diane's experience shows that second that you walk in. She just knows what she is doing and likes doing it! We purchased our bridesmaids dresses here and she gave us a discount...not sure why, she just wanted to I guess :) I thought that maybe having purchased my wedding dress elsewhere that I would have been treated differently than someone who spent more money there but that was never the case. Go see Diane...it will be worth it!

I am not one to typically write reviews, actually, I never write reviews. I feel so strongly about the service I was provided by Diane at D'Angelo Couture Bridal that I felt compelled to write something to share my amazing experience. Diane (the owner) has been so helpful, honest and responsive every step of the way! From the very first appointment she has made my experience unforgettable and something truly fun and exciting, just as it should be. I had been to so many other dress stores and had not been able to find "the one." I tried on one dress in her store and knew I had walked into the right place. I had found the dress for me. She worked with me on the alterations I wanted to make and designed a custom veil for me. Because of my wedding date and the lack of time between when I place my order and when I would need the dress by she rushed my order and paid the rush fee herself. She allowed me to make so many changes from the color to the straps to the beading. She is an amazing designer and I couldn't have asked for a more talented and experienced person to trust with altering my dress. She has been fantastic. On top of all of that, I am doing a special photo shoot before the wedding and she is allowing me to borrow items from her shop at NO COST! I am borrowing a veil and other accessories. No other bridal shop would have ever allowed me to do something like that. D'Angelo has made my wedding dreams become a reality and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Diane. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

D'Angelo Couture Bridal met and exceeded all of my bridal expectations. Fabulous shop! Friendly, upbeat, helpful and experienced staff will work with you to accommodate your dress or gown. Grooms too!
