Living and loving life in Southern California and pursuing my dream of styling brides for their special day.
After being in over a dozen weddings, I kept witnessing brides constantly stressed out by this process when it really shouldn't be that way. I left my lengthly career on a trade floor to pursue my dream and help LA brides. We’re creating a comfortable and stress-free way to spend her time finding her special dress with privacy and a beautiful environment in Santa Monica.
My hope is that this service brings our bride all the happiness she deserves while finding the one!

I only have positive things to say about En Blanc, I highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding dress. Genie was my bridal stylist and worked with me to get my dream Suzanne Neville dress, she double checked all my measurements and the dress was perfect when it came it. She then helped me find the perfect veil to match, I get questions all the time where it was from. Thank you En Blanc and Genie!

Working with Laura at En Blanc was the best first decision I made for my wedding. She truly set the tone for my entire bridal experience. Laura took the time to get to know me, asking insightful questions and sharing her passion and expertise in bridal styling. From my very first visit through to the dress pick-up and final styling, she has been my rock. I can’t wait to wear my gown in a couple of months!
Also, En Blanc offers a wide range of styles and price points, which was perfect for someone like me who had a million ideas of what the perfect dress could look like. Laura’s dedication to understanding my vision helped us find the right one. I highly recommend Laura and En Blanc for anyone looking for a personalized and joyful bridal experience.

My experience with En Blanc was an absolute dream! Candice worked with me and helped me find the perfect dress and was the absolute sweetest, most professional, helpful and thoughtful throughout the entire process. En Blanc had a really great high end selection and great price points. From start to finish the experience was perfect. And they even connected me with an amazing seamstress for alterations and it was great working with someone I could trust!

En Blanc is the best bridal salon in LA - a wide selection of dresses, wide availability of appointments, and an attentive team that makes the dress selection process a breeze. I worked with Candice, who is the sweetest individual and was incredibly helpful from the first appointment all the way through the purchasing process. Highly recommend going to En Blanc & seeing Candice for your wedding dress needs!

Candice was wonderful!! She’s so sweet and will make you feel comfortable in any dress, as well as make you feel even more excited about the process. She understood my style and picked out some dresses for me, and in the end I chose a beautiful Anne Barge gown that I hadn’t considered before (she reassured me that the neckline could be adjusted just the way I wanted it to be). The inside of the boutique is gorgeous and gives you the privacy you want. They also had the veil that matches with the dress. My gown arrived on time and was absolute perfection. Highly recommend En Blanc!

I want you to know how wonderful our experience was with our stylist,Laura, yesterday. She was so sweet and positive, and really wanted my daughter to feel beautiful. The store is bright and comfortable, setting a relaxing tone. Planning a wedding is a stressful time, and finding a dress can seem like an intimidating challenge. En Blanc, and Laura in particular, made this a joyful, rather than stressful part of the experience. And yes, she found the dress!

I had the BEST experience at En Blanc in my journey to find my dream dress! My stylist was Candice and she was absolutely AMAZING!! She immediately understood my style and knew my main goal was to look stunning! Candice pulled a gown I wasn't sure about because I didn't think I liked strapless but when I put the gown on I knew - This was my dress!! She totally knocked it out of the park! I HIGHLY recommend En Blanc if you're looking for that one of a kind dress and HIGHLY recommend Candice!!

My experience at En Blanc from start to finish was incredible. To be completely transparent, having all eyes on me while trying on tight white dresses is not my idea of a good time, and I knew the process was going to be stressful for me. I went to En Blanc and a few other shops on the first day of my wedding dress hunt. Candice and the staff at En Blanc couldn’t have been more warm, accommodating, and comfortable to be around. Candice truly felt like my personal hype woman throughout this process, but everyone I encountered during my 3 visits to the shop were so pleasant. The shop is also very cute and they have the most incredible selection of gowns! I went to so many different shops to find my dress, and I think my top 3 gowns were all from En Blanc.
Candice was so helpful in finding gowns that were my style based on the feedback I gave her, but she also helped me try on fun styles that were outside of the norm of what I’d typically pick for myself. I had a great time! I found my dream dress the first day of my hunt, but I didn’t want to pull the trigger prematurely. After visiting several other shops, I found my way back to En Blanc to seal the deal. The communication with the En Blanc team was always amazing — they always answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Candice again made me feel so beautiful and comfortable during my second visit (to make sure it was the one) and during my visit when I picked up the gown. I absolutely loved my dress, and I can’t thank the staff at En Blanc enough!

En Blanc was the first bridal shop I visited when searching for my dress and my experience there could not have been better. Before coming in, their team asked that I send over any specific gowns I was interested in from their website - they had them ready and waiting for me as soon as we came in. Bridget was so kind and took the time to understand my “vision” for my bridal look. I totally trusted her to pull other gowns that she thought would work for that vision and my body, and I’m so glad I did. Had way too much fun trying everything on, and I felt so confident in everything she pulled. Thank you, En Blanc team!

The staff seemed pretty knowledgeable about the collection and did a great job trying to suggest different dresses based on my style. We had a couple hiccups when it came to the timeframe that the dress should be delivered by but I'm guessing that it was mostly due to Covid. Overall, I would highly recommend En Blanc. I loved their collection of gowns and had a lovely experience.

My experience at En Blanc was true magic. The selection of the most gorgeous gowns I’ve ever seen was just the start. Every single person there made me feel special and was patient, kind, and has so much fun with me until I found my dream dress. If you are looking for a fairytale experience this is it!

The team at En Blanc were fantastic -- attentive, thoughtful, and so knowledgeable. They were patient with me through my dress process (I came in two separate times to try on until I finally found the one!) and timely with updates about my dress once I purchased it. I loved my experience and would highly recommend! I also got my earrings there and was recommended a tailor.

Getting my wedding dress at En Blanc was the best decision I ever made! Tatiana made the entire experience so easy and she made me feel so comfortable, which was a huge plus because I had to go by myself since I didn’t have family in town. However, she helped me with FaceTiming my parents and took photos and videos for me when I found the one! She was so incredibly patient with me and even helped me with booking another appointment so my family could come in to the salon to see me in the dress I chose! Even when I had some concerns about getting a custom bust due to the designers sizing, she went above and beyond emailing me and assuring me that my dress would be perfect! She and the rest of the En Blanc staff are amazing and so incredibly nice and supportive which is lovely to have when you’re a bride dealing with so much especially during the pandemic.
Even if you’re not sure what you’re looking for, En Blanc will help guide you and be the helping hand every bride needs!

En Blanc was such a fabulous experience! I had appointments at a few other salons before, but en Blanc stood out by far. Candice was an absolute sweetheart and truly wanted to help me find my dream dress and think of ways to make the dress I chose even more special. She was the ray of sunshine I needed to help me say YES to my dress! Besides the fabulous customer service and joy Candice gave, the salon itself is adorable. It’s a little hard to find because it’s down a cute speakeasy-like alley, but once you get inside, it is a chic bohemian dream. And pro tip: there’s a bar right next door to have a drink before your appointment to let the edge off! Amazing experience, and I can’t wait to pick my dress up!!!

En Blanc is such a warm, welcoming and wonderful place to browse and try on wedding dresses in the privacy of your own appointment. The aesthetic is absolutely stunning and the bubbly is tasty as well. I worked with Tatiana during my experience and she helped to make me feel as comfortable as possible. She was very kind, gentle and offered lots of support. She was also very kind to my friends and family who tagged along on my special day. I was able to say yes to the dress here and I couldn't have been happier. The time frame was perfect for receiving my gown and they even helped me to find a seamstress for alterations who was also amazing. I definitely would recommend this shop. Nothing but great things to say from me!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about En Blanc! It was my last stop of the day and they immediately had the most welcoming environment compared to the other stores I visited earlier. They were not pushy at all, really listened to what I was looking for and helped me narrow down some options, thus leading me to my dream gown! Everyone was beyond kind throughout the process and really left a lasting impression on my family and I. Highly recommend to all brides!!

I had a friend give me a list of some popular bridal salons and En Blanc was one of them. It was my first appointment of the day and I had no idea what to expect. To say it was an incredible experience is an understatement! Not only is it the most gorgeous little salon (with a beautiful flower wall!), Bridget was so helpful and really took the time to help me figure out what kind of dress I wanted. I truly loved every dress and did not know how to decide, I had one more appointment elsewhere but it was nothing compared to En Blanc. I called Bridget and she was kind enough to fit me in again quickly later that day because there were two dresses I wanted to try again. I ended up saying yes to one of them and it was so exciting. I can’t recommend this bridal salon enough. I am so grateful I decided to come here!

Best experience, En Blanc was one of the many wedding dress stores I went to during my search. The girls there truly want you to find the perfect dress even if it’s not with them. They were never pushing me to purchase a dress with them and even let me come back in 3 times, just so I could try the dress on again!
Once I was sure of my choice, the whole process was simple and they even delivered my dress by mail during covid when I couldn’t go in. Couldn’t recommend them more and have sent many of my friends there!

I have now sent four more brides to En Blanc because I had such a great experience. First of all, the actual store is spacious, airy, and dreamy. The staff is supportive and genuinely listens to what you want. They also remembered me and specifics of previous visits months apart. They immediately make you comfortable and special. And then finally, the selection is unbeatable. I cannot recommend it enough.

I dreamt of the day when I would be able to go dress shopping with my sister and mom . Shopping for your dream dress during a pandemic made me a bit stressed but En Blanc surpassed my expectations. I got Tatiana as my dress consultant and she was so amazing. She matched our level of excitement and really engaged with us in learning what the best fit would be for my wedding. She walked me through each section to make sure I wasn’t missing out on anything that caught my attention. She makes you feel so comfortable while changing into different gowns. When it came to seeing dresses on the pedestal she changes your positions so the dress can catch the natural sunlight. I said Oui to my dress and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I can’t wait to return for my accessories appointment to complete the whole look .

I had a wonderful experience getting my wedding dress from En Blanc. I live on the East Coast and found my dream dress at a local shop, but it was out of my budget. I found a sample of the exact dress for sale online at En Blanc for over 50% off. The sales associates at En Blanc were incredibly responsive to all my requests and questions, and even allowed my cousin to come inspect the dress since I had some fears about making such an important purchase online. The gown arrived yesterday-- it is gorgeous, in excellent condition, and fits perfectly.

The girls at En Blanc made getting my dream dress so easy! At less than 2 months until my wedding I had found a dress online by a designer that they carried. They had a sample quickly sent to the salon for me to try and made me feel AMAZING during my fitting while giving me great advice on accessories and styling. Once I said yes to the dress they were able to have my dress made in enough time for my wedding and even recommending a great tailor (go to Puga!).
Planning a wedding during COVID is not easy. Trying to do any of the wedding-related things like finding your dress at a salon was so difficult during this time until I went to En Blanc. The owner and her stylists were patient, encouraging and so helpful. With COVID restrictions they made me feel safe as appointments were spread out so just me and my two guests were the only people in the salon during my fittings, and they wear masks and sanitize. 10/10 recommend!

I went looking for a specific dress. There was a bit of a mix up with my appointment type at first, but they were very quick to fix it. When I went in, everyone was very nice. I believe Tatiana helped me and she was super sweet. I told her which dress I wanted and what I was looking for in a dress. She had me try on different dresses to make sure the one I was looking for was the one. This was my first and only experience dress shopping and it was excellent! When I picked up the dress I took my picture in front of the flower wall with a "I said oui!" sign. The people here are very kind and amazing.

En Blanc is a lovely bridal boutique. I visited En Blanc twice and was greeted warmly each time. Their team is staffed with genuine professionals. I felt guided and helped but never pushed. The gowns are clean and not cluttered. The space is open yet extremely private. I would highly recommend anyone to En Blanc. Thank you for helping my wedding look come to life!

Where to even begin?! I began my search for my dress during COVID and went to a few different places before landing at En Blanc. Let me tell you, I am so happy I did! I had the pleasure of working with Tatiana, who made me feel so comfortable throughout the experience. The boutique itself is so cute, and the selection is amazing. I had questions about alterations throughout, and Tatiana was able to get me immediate answers by texting their alterations specialist. Thank you to Tatiana and the En Blanc team for helping me find the most perfect dress!

They saved my wedding! Three weeks before our 9/3 wedding, my old wedding dress was ruined during alterations. It could be saved but NOT in time for my 9/3 wedding. They were my last salon to visit and I should've come here from the beginning. Tatiana helped me find sample dresses that fit my style and my wedding and my personality. I am lucky that I fit into sample dresses. They were all in great condition for sample dresses -- seriously, I went to the tailor and dry cleaners after (both whom were recommended by En Blanc) and they all agreed that the dress I chose was in AMAZING condition. I ended up buying a Chosen by One Day dress, an Australian designer I NEVER thought I would be able to pull off, let alone afford. It was in budget, it fit like a glove, and it had little to no alterations needed. I cannot thank Tatiana enough for helping me during this super stressful time. I highly recommend fellow COVID brides to go to En Blanc. You'll find dresses you've NEVER seen in any other bridal salon, and you'll have the best customer service!!

En Blanc is one of the best! I visited over 7 boutiques to find my dress and am so glad I found it at En Blanc. First off the boutique is beautiful and they have a great selection of dresses. After 7 boutiques 2 of my top 3 dresses were here. My first appointment was with Tatiana and my second appointment was with the owner Bridget. They were both so sweet, knowledgeable and just incredibly helpful. They took the time to sit down with me and really understand my vision. It is obvious that they genuinely care and love what they do. My schedule moved around a few times for my second appointment because some of my family was coming from out of town and they were so accommodating. When it came time to say yes to the dress I had a very difficult time choosing the one for various reasons but Bridget never tried to "sell" me. She was very patient, listened to my concerns and really took the time to talk through the final choices with me. She really did help me feel confident in my decision and when I picked up my dress I felt beautiful. Also, I bought my dress pre-covid and had to postpone my wedding and they've been so helpful with tips to keep my dress in great condition over the next year.
I am so grateful for my experience here and know it will be such a great memory for my mom, sisters and I. I highly recommend their boutique to anyone no matter what you think your style is!!!

Much over due review but nonetheless here it is! This was the first spot on my route for dress shopping and I’m not one to look at every dress and every shop in town - less is more. They had great selections, great customer service and it was such a cute shop!! I described a little of what I was thinking so they were able to help pick out a few as well as myself and my best friend. I was just about finishing up trying things on and nothing really stood out and the sales lady brought me a dress that was absolutely perfect and I would have never picked it. It was like she was knew exactly what I wanted. Being a novice bride I was unable to “see” what I wanted but clearly she wasn’t and nailed it. It went to 2 other shops (found a knock off pronovias which didn’t even do justice) and ended up coming back and sealing the deal. Great customer service and bridal knowledge!

Hidden gem in Venice!
I lucked out! I said yes to the dress at the first boutique I went to! I had a vision of what I wanted to look like and the women of En Blanc understood my vision and applied the glamour of my look . I came in to try on a particular dress but ended up leaving with something I would have never tried on! I’m extremely curvy and they found a dress that fit my body like a glove. I feel like a goddess in my dress and can’t wait to wear it. They created the perfect experience, I never felt pressured and I felt they took into consideration that I didn’t want to break the bank but I wanted to look glamorous and feel my absolute best. The feeling is real! When you put your dress on. You just know!

I had the absolute BEST time here. I worked with Tatiana and she was an absolute dream to work with. I’ve been searching for a wedding gown across in Texas but due to quarantine found myself in California to be with my family. It all worked out because I was able to go wedding dresses shopping with my mom!!! They truly made it special. The shop itself is so incredibly beautiful. I booked a sample sale appointment and you get an incredible deal for beautiful dresses! What truly made the difference is Tatiana, she was so patient with me. During my first appointment I feel in love with a gown but I needed to sleep on it before I made the purchase. Tatiana did not pressure me at all to buy it that day! She understood that I needed to take a step back and think about it. It was such a nice breath of fresh air than being pressured into getting a dress that moment. She in by far the best wedding dress stylist I have ever encountered! 100% would recommend going!

En Blanc was magical. Bridget and her team are incredible. I started with Bridget when she was in her house about 15 months before my wedding... then she moved to a new spot on Main Street and then finally was in her brand new GORGEOUS location. Bridget was the first person I went to and she made me feel so comfortable right away. I went to a few other places but in my mind knew I ultimately had to come back to EnBlanc. Bridget and her team just get it and have the most gorgeous perfect gowns curated at their store. My dress was so special and unique. I felt like a princess on my wedding day. If you live in LA and are engaged go to ENBLANC and if you live somewhere else still go there. You will leave with the dress of your dreams.

WOW. The experience, selection, and level of service at En Blanc were amazing from the first time I stepped into the studio. I found my dream gown there and when I said yes & started crying the lovely woman helping me just ran over and hugged me as if she was my sister. En Blanc treats you like family! The journey did not stop there, every step of the way from the tailor to dry cleaning recommendations the staff at En Blanc are guiding you. I HIGHLY recommend En Blanc to any bride!

Amy truly helped me find my dream dress. I am an actress and very familiar with costumes, so I wasn’t looking for a brand so much as a specific shape and fit. I wanted a top with boning along the sides, straps, and a fitted trumpet bottom with a slit that wasn’t revealing. Easy right? It wasn’t. It was proving a challenge to find this amazing dream dress and I had a couple of backups but not the one. I wanted something that was beautiful and structured that I could dance in all night. I was having trouble finding the perfect dress until I met with Amy on En Blanc.
I went to En Blanc twice before and after their store switch. Both locations were lovely and had a beautiful aesthetic. I felt calm and welcome on both visits. I had found them through Instagram I think. I saw a bride who eloped in this gorgeous dress and the bride raved about the shop. I was interested! On my second visit with Amy I found the Karen Willis Holmes dress of my dreams. It was a relief and everything felt right. I was so comfortable in my dress on my wedding day. It was gorgeous on me. I was smiling in a way that lit up my face! I had found it! They put me in touch with Puga for my alterations and she did a fabulous job.
All in all a fabulous shop with owners that listen to their customers. So often in bridal shops there is a slight disconnect when your trying on dresses and describing what you want. I am so grateful I found En Blanc. My day wouldn’t have been the same without them.

The first time I visited Bridget in her cute Santa Monica bungalow (before she moved to her current space on Main Street), I was completely hooked and immediately knew I didn't need to go anywhere else. The experience she crafted for my two girlfriends and me was beyond comfortable, warm, and welcoming—not to mention how cute the space was. I love how she carefully curates the designers she carries, and is super knowledgable about each of them. I didn't feel overwhelmed—but only inspired and well-guided from the very beginning. She understood exactly what I was looking for and carefully respected my budget range. All of the designers she carries are incredible and special in their own ways. I ended up going with the first dress I tried on, and am still head-over-heels in love with it.
The rest of my experience with En Blanc was just as delightful—from the ordering process to fitting and pick-up. I felt well-taken care of the entire way. Every time I met with Bridget, it was so much fun, and I left feeling at ease and excited.
The new space on Main Street is absolutely gorgeous, and also houses some wonderful partners (including Great Dane Bakery, who we worked with and LOVED). Bridget always shared helpful accessory tips, and connected me with Puga, who made my beautiful custom veil. She worked directly with Puga to share my measurements and make sure the entire process was seamless, professional, and swift.
I cannot recommend Bridget and her team enough. She's the only way to go if you want to have an intimate, fun, chill, true California-style experience.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews but I wanted everyone to know just how much I love En Blanc.
I had a very specific set of requirements in finding a dress which made it near impossible. I needed either a sample or ready to wear gown that could be available for a quickly assembled wedding 8 weeks away so that a sick relative could attend. En Blanc took what could have otherwise been a very somber time and turned it into one of the most fun/emotional/joyous experiences of my life. I found not 1, not 2, but 3 great options in the store (both samples and ready-to-wear) all the while drinking rose with my best friend and mom. Before arriving, I was worried I would never find a dress that I loved that could be made in such a short time frame.... upon arriving I quickly realized I had the opposite problem and was going to have a hard time choosing between a ton of great options.
On top of that, Amy was incredibly kind in helping me every step of the way. She was so nice as I cried while trying on the dress that I ultimately chose as "the one" thinking about how excited I was to be marrying my best friend in less than 2 months and also how heartbroken I was because of the reason why. Amy also tolerated me coming back to "try it on again" when I felt the need to be 100% sure.
THANK YOU to this little hole in the wall store that was a true slice of heaven that turned my wedding into what weddings are supposed to be: a joyous time to celebrate love!

If it were possible to give En Blanc more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!!!! My experience with them was nothing short of amazing!! Amy was so wonderful and patient with me throughout the process! When I first walked in, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted and she helped me really hone in on what kind of dress was best for me. She provided honest feedback, which was so refreshing! And with her impressive background in the fashion world, I knew I could trust her! I'm so happy she encouraged me to go with the dress I ended up buying because it truly was one of my favorite elements of the wedding day! En Blanc has such a beautiful selection of designer dresses. I could have bought 5 or 10 of them! They are all SO gorgeous! The store itself is also super cute! Thank you to the En Blanc team for making my wedding dress experience so beautiful & memorable!!! xo

I did a lot of looking for bridal gowns because I knew what I didn't like but I wasn't as sure what I really liked. En Blanc was the second place I went to and one of the strapless lace Romona Keveza dresses really stayed with me. Many many stores and multiple En Blanc appointments later, that is the dress I went with and I was super happy with it in the end. So many guests complimented me on it and it ultimately felt very tailored to me. Bridget was really patient throughout the process and I really appreciated her genuine advice. A lot of the other bridal stores felt more impersonal. Bridget has a really carefully curated collection of dresses and she was great at recommending what she thought would work best. I also thought the alterations person she works with, Puga, did a great job. This was a dress that needed to fit really well and I didn't have to worry about it falling down the whole night (and I did a lot of jumping on the dancefloor). I also wound up getting my jewelry at En Blanc as well - overall a very easy and pleasant experience!

I can't say enough about this AMAZING store!!! Quite possibly the cutest store I have ever been in, let alone the best bridal boutique! From the adorable little street front door, to the giant flower wall, to the layout of the store overall, they didn't miss a single detail. They only have one bride at a time and give you their full attention, and the selection of dresses is stunning. En Blanc has done such a great job of curating a wide range of price points, but ensuring that all dresses are of the same quality and beauty. Looking through the dresses was effortless as they have laid out the dresses by designer, each in their own part of the store. And the dresses were nicely spaced so it was so easy to see all the detail of each dress and look at them.
Amy was absolutely wonderful and made the whole dress shopping experience my favorite one yet - so sweet and helpful, giving honest and helpful feedback while still sharing in all of our excitement. I live in Dallas and flew all the way out to visit En Blanc in search of my dream dress (they were one of only a handful of stores that carried the designer & dress that I had my eye on), and the trip did not disappoint! We were having so much fun that the first hour flew by and we ended up staying over another hour! I can't say enough about Amy, wow!!! She made the whole morning one that my mom and I will never forget. I only wish every bride could experience this sweet, sweet store! If you are shopping for a wedding dress, En Blanc is a must!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had the BEST experience at En Blanc! The shop itself is so pretty, stylish and comfortable, right on Main Street in Santa Monica. Scheduling an appointment was easy, and they are quick to confirm. The gorgeous selection of gowns range from unique & modern to sleek & classic, and they even carry beautiful accessories to complete the look. Both Amy and Bridget were extremely knowledgeable about all gown designers, fabric, and embellishment which I found very helpful. Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience!! I didn't want to leave the store, it was such a calm and happy environment!! The process wasn't rushed, I was able to take my time to discuss my ideal dress and Amy was so kind and helpful. The styles are beautiful and cover so many different looks (I found my perfect beach wedding dress), but I really loved that they weren't the stereotypical dresses that I see everyone wearing. I felt unique, beautiful and really taken care of, I highly recommend making an appointment.

Bridgette was absolutely amazing. My mom and I went to about five bridal salons and nothing compred. She was so kind and the selection was perfect. She pulled out an Anne barge dress and I immediately fell in love. I tried on about four dresses afterwards and put the Anne barge back on and it was everything. My wedding was four months out and Bridgett sold me the sample she had. She coordinated with an amazing tailor and everything was so smooth. I later decided on a veil and she coordinated to get my dress back so I could try on veils with my gown. It was an incredible experience and I would and have recommended en blanc to everyone I know ❤️

Bridget is with you every step of the way! Whether you know exactly what you want or are just beginning the dress hunt process, she listens and zeros in on what you are looking for. The selection at En Blanc is different than most bridal salons, which is great because who wants to look like everyone else? The entire experience was easy and fun and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

I can’t even tell you how amazing Bridget is at En Blanc! She creates such an intimate atmosphere. She was so accommodating and even went out of her way to fit my busy work schedule for my dress fittings. The dress selection at En Blanc is unrivaled, she has hand chosen each dress she carries, and they are all so beautiful and unique! She even contacted the designer I loved and had several extra dresses sent in for me to try! She truly goes above and beyond!! I felt so comfortable working with her, she was so professional. And the new studio is just beautiful as well!

En Blanc is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and Bridget is an absolute life saver!
I'm the type of bride that views a wedding as an extra job in addition to my 14hrs+ at work all week. Basically anything I cannot do online (i.e. instant gratification for organizing/booking from my desk) and at maximum convenience (#getrdun) ends up slipping to the wayside.
Enter Bridget and En Blanc - the website is GORGEOUS and super user-friendly! From the website, I was able to choose a number of styles I liked (I fell in love with Sareh Nouri) and I had the ultimate convenience w/ my appointment!
At my appointment, Bridget had all the dresses I chose as well as some additional styles to round out my options. In conversation, Bridget mentioned she had chatted with some of the designers (especially Sareh Nouri) ahead of my appointment - that not only made me feel super special but it's absolutely badass that she's built such great relationships with the designers - a testament to Bridget's character and work ethic! I found my dress at my appointment and she introduced me to an awesome tailor and helped me find the perfect custom-made veil!!!
If my wedding-dress purchase wasn't amazing enough, I called Bridget one Saturday two weeks before my wedding desperate for a Rehearsal Dinner outfit (I left it to the last minute as usual!) and she told me not to stress - she'd open up her showroom right away - and next thing I know I have the most AMAZING white jump suit for my Rehearsal Dinner and a gorgeous silk second-dress to slip into for our reception! Bridget also helped me find accessories - she literally saved me from being the most disorganized bride ever to looking the part to a T!!!!
Bridget is an absolute STAR! She's super talented, passionate, and knowledgeable -- mixed with incredibly thoughtful and kind -- the perfect ally for finding a wedding dress and anyone/everyone is lucky to work with her!
I'm so grateful for Bridget and En Blanc! My experience was personalized and stress-free - which is priceless to me. I came away with the PERFECT dress (and second dress and jump suit!!!) and I felt awesome heading into my wedding!

En Blanc's business model is genius, their professionalism on point, and their selection of dresses is absolutely stunning! After attempting to schedule a bridal party day at a bridal shop, I was getting relatively discouraged because I was having a difficult time selecting where to go. I was unsure of whether shops would even have what I wanted, and didn't want to plan multiple trips for myself and my girls. En Blanc's business model COMES TO YOU! It was the perfect experience! Their website allows you to select all the dresses that you'd like to try on, and then they come to whatever location you select! It made for a perfect little bridal party day at my moms house, where everyone could hang out and watch me try on dresses without the awkward congestion of a dress store. My bridal party had a great time sipping memosa's while writing down their favorite selections, and helping me decide what dress to get! Bridget was so professional and sweet! She really made everything so comfortable and easy! Because of En Blanc, I had the most stunning wedding dress!!! I absolutely recommend using En Blanc for your wedding dress needs!

This was hands down the best wedding experience I had! Bridget at En Blanc made this process so fun and was EXTREMELY helpful, sweet, and accommodating. I was looking for a specific designer and she went above and beyond to try and help me find the dress of my dreams. She hadn't even opened her doors for business yet, but she knew how important it was to find the right dress for the wedding. She special ordered the designer I liked and overnighted them so I could try them on. If you are looking for an experience that you will walk away feeling good about then Bridget and En Blanc is the best place to go for your dream dress. They will make all your wedding dress possibilities come through, with no pressure, just a sweet and pleasant attitude, and above and beyond customer service. They will make sure they find what you want. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you so much En Blanc for an amazing wedding experience with the most gorgeous gowns and top of the line designers.

I highly recommend EVERY bride to work with En Blanc - I had the BEST experience!! The whole process of having someone come to you vs. the traditional bridal shop was amazing and completely stress relieving. But beyond that, I was so impressed with their amazing dress selection & the owner, Bridget's, keen ability to pull additional looks for me in my taste. As a result, I found the most stunning Pronovias dress & couldn't be more thankful to Bridget.
The whole experience was so fun and relaxing! She even brought my bridesmaids macaroons to top it off and created the entire bridal gown experience at my house! She was so responsive throughout the entire process, from start to finish. I am so grateful to have worked with En Blanc for my wedding!!
