About This Vendor

Dare and Dazzle

Dare and Dazzle, Inc. is a wedding dress boutique based in Sonoma, CA that offers eco-friendly attire and accessories for contemporary couples. The shop designs and crafts gowns and other ensembles that are affordable and can be rented as well as purchased. From intimate elopements to grand affairs, the team will pamper you and your wedding party while pioneering a sustainable business model. Co-founders Hien Le and Mandy Tachiki are passionate about helping soon-to-be-newlyweds find wedding dresses that won’t compromise their values. After their own nuptials, when they couldn’t find gowns to rent, this duo decided to start their own business. They were inspired by the fact that every year the fashion industry is responsible for up to 92 million tons of waste. These entrepreneurs wanted to provide an alternative experience that would make room in the closet, the wallet, and the earth. Each of the dresses at Dare and Dazzle, Inc. is named for a strong and independent woman. The founders hope that when you try on these gowns, you will also feel empowered and beautiful. The salon hosts an extensive collection, from A-line frocks to asymmetrical white suits. Rented outfits are fully tailored to suit your body and are thoroughly cleaned to feel as good as new. The variety of styles and sizes will appeal to the modern affianced who wants a stunning and unique look on the aisle.

So amazing. Hien helped me find the perfect dress and made me feel so comfortable. She was very attentive and had a lot of good advice. This was the first and last shop I went to for my dress and I couldn’t be happier with what I got. The shop ...
is so cute and has great lighting and stages to take pictures and get a feel for your dress. I can’t say enough, I loved everything about it and the ladies I brought with me loved it too. Love that there’s rental and buy options (I ended up buying mine) and very affordable compared to the dresses I was looking at online. As someone considered plus size I was nervous even going into any shop to try dresses but my mom convinced me and I am so happy she did!

I have had my eyes on this shop for a while now, and it exceeded my expectations far more than I could have ever imagined! The shop is beautiful and perfectly sized for a private bridal party. I was in awe as soon as I walked in. Its design is ...
well thought out and thoughtfully put together. The ceiling is high, and it feels magical to walk into. Hien is amazing to work with. I felt beautiful in all of her amazing gowns. She listened to what I wanted and was able to pull the dress that ended up being my Yes to the dress! The gowns are made to be rented and have built in bras and corsets that allow the perfect fit for people of all sizes. It was nice to be able to find my dress and know how I would look and feel in it without having to think of alterations. I was able to have a private appointment with 7 of my bridesmaids/family. We brought our own champagne and spent a little over two hours trying on dresses. It was a really fun experience for everyone. A few of my bridesmaids were able to try on some bridesmaids dresses as well. Dare and Dazzle offers a sustainable and affordable wedding gown option. They are a small Asian owned business with a lot to offer to the wedding industry. The gowns are incredibly well made. They are the quality of a $2k+ gown at a fraction of the cost. I can't rave about them enough and I hope more brides can find this shop to rent (or buy) the dress of their dreams!

Hello! When I was planning my own wedding a few years ago, I wanted to rent my wedding dress for 3 reasons: I wanted to also wear a traditional Vietnamese outfit, to save money for our honeymoon in Europe, and I dreaded at the prospect of 2 wedding dresses hogging space in our tiny closet. To my dismay, I couldn't find any place that offers wedding dress rental. I founded Dare and Dazzle to enable one-of-a-kind brides like you to plan the day you deserve, without compromise. Outside of the business, my husband and I have two puppies and two cats to keep us on our toes :-)
