Jaclyn's Bridal is the best place to get your wedding dress and veil! Not only is the actual shop itself beautiful, clean, and aesthetic, but the dress options they have are vast and so beautiful! They specifically have a wide variety of floral pattern dresses, which is the type of dress I was looking for! All of the workers were so helpful and accommodating, and although I ordered my dress only 5 months prior, they helped in making sure the dress came in on time! Mindy did an incredible and timely job with the dress alterations and was very kind as well. I am thoroughly impressed with Jaclyn's Bridal and was very happy with my wedding dress and veil!
I found my gown and veil at Jaclyn’s, and I absolutely love both. They were great when searching for my dress to help find an elegant gown in my price range. They were great with all of the alterations and helping with the preservation.
I found my gown and veil at Jaclyn's! The owner, Mindy, who also manages alterations, is a dream. A friendly, caring, & CHIC lady who made sure my gown was perfect for wedding day. She is such a pleasure to spend time with (even when you're just getting pins stuck in your dress for a while) and her knowledge ensures any alterations you need look perfect. Highly recommend.
Mindy was so amazing helping me find a dress for my wedding. Made me comfortable and stayed perfectly within my price range. Alterations were perfect!
This was the 4th bridal store I visited. I was rather set on what I wanted but I didnt want to spend a small fortune for a dress that I loved and was close to $4000 at another store. Laurie was great in assisting me pick out dresses with my A line style and lower back. I literally cried when I put on my dress and I guess that is how you just know. Mindy does all the alterations and she did a wonderful job with sewing some additional lace for modesty around my cleavage area and taking out several layers which I though would be too cumbersome and hot during my August outdoor wedding. I highly recommend this shop! They just moved to a new larger location and have set up their shop so beautifully. They will have everything you are looking for!
I found my dress at Jaclyn's Bridal in January 2021! During COVID-19 it's appointment only and you're allowed to bring 2 guests with you. This shop was my first stop to try on dresses and I found "the one" on the first visit but didn't want to commit immediately so I could try on more at other stores and make sure. Michelle was my original stylist and she was very sweet, knowledgeable and patient. The owner, Mindy, even popped in during my appointment to give her thoughts. I think they both knew I loved the dress but respected my decision to wait and shop around more. I ended up buying my dress on the second visit back because I couldn't stop thinking about it! I was always comparing other dresses from other shops to "the one" from Jaclyn's Bridal. When I came back, I was treated again with such warmth and kindness from their staff. I'm so happy I found my dress here!
Mindy is wonderful! Two of my daughters have purchased their wedding gowns from Jaclyn’s and the service is excellent! Mindy is so helpful from what dress is best to headpiece to veil even with suggestions for hair! Alterations are excellent!
My experience was the best at Jaclyn's Bridal! Mindy was super accommodating when scheduling appointments even opened early one time! I always felt supported shopping there. I never once felt pressured. They did a wonderful job with my dress. Laurie was also very helpful!
There is no better place to go for your wedding dress in Southern California than Jaclyn's Bridal! I can't say enough good things about their selection as well as Mindy Chung, the salon's owner. She made trying on dresses a really enjoyable experience and she's so personable and kind. She would always give her 100% honest opinion - which is a good thing (!) since she's an expert at this. I had about four fittings so I truly felt like my alterations charge was worth it and that dress fit like a glove by the time we were finished. On the second-to-last fitting, I even brought earrings and hair combs in to get Mindy's opinion on what I should wear day of. Long story short, the care and dedication Mindy and her staff put into each bride is so amazing. Go to Jaclyn's!!
I crammed four days of searching for my wedding dress.
On the first day, at the last store - I found my dress. The dress was ivory/vanilla which looked like a white lace over a tan under lay. The dress was undeniably beautiful but I really wanted an all white dress. The lady at that store shrugged her shoulders and told me it does come in ivory/ivory (all white) but there are no pictures or in store samples for me to see. Since I didn't LOVE it, we moved on.
The 4th day, exhausted and over it, I walked into Jaclyn's Bridal just looking for the dress I had found the first day and they had it amongst a selection of the most beautiful dresses. I tried it on and expressed how the dress was almost perfect I just wish I could see it in the ivory/ivory. Heather (I believe her name was) jumped immediately to help me visualize this dress in the color I wanted. She added a liner to the bodice, and a white slip piece under the lace overlay. My MOH and I began to cry - finally found my perfect dress.
Mindy closed the deal for us, everything went flawlessly. The dress came in in just 2 months, and alterations were done a month later.
They are responsive, patient, and did everything they could to make sure I was confident in my pick.
LOVE THEM! Could go on and on!
I honestly wish I could give them 10 stars. They went above and beyond anything I could have asked them to do for me. I had been eyeing a particular dress online and there were no nearby boutiques that carried the particular dress let alone the designer. Mindy and the designer work together so that they were able to get the dress in to her boutique and she fit me in as soon as she could. Within minutes of trying on the dress and putting a veil on me, I became emotional with my mom and bridesmaids there. There was no doubt in my mind that this was my dress. I cannot give anough praise and appreciation for everything that her, her team and the designer did in order to deliver me my dream wedding dress. I also commend the fact that the price point was within my budgets even though the wedding dress easily looks like it could be more than $5000. Thank you so much for making my vision come true.
I had an AMAZING experience at Jaclyn's Bridal. I was looking for a specific dress, and Mindy was confident that she could order it in plenty of time for my wedding. It arrived right on time and was exactly what I hoped it would be. She is incredibly talented and went above and beyond in alterations to make it perfect. I absolutely loved my dress, and I am so happy that I found Jaclyn's Bridal!
Mindy is my hero! Words cannot describe the appreciation I have for her! Unfortunately my budget did not allow me to purchase a dress from Jaclyn’s bridal but that didn’t stop Mindy! She turned my off the rack dress into a work of art. She was able to alter my dress into my dream dress. She is so talented and just an all around good person. She went out of her way to help me and she went above and beyond for my dress alterations! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would in a heart beat! I will be recommending her to all of my friend and family for years to come. Thank you for making my wedding dress absolutely perfect!
This store is amazing! The owner, Mindy, was the most amazing seamstress and person to work with. I felt confident that she would fit my dress perfectly and I always looked forward to my fittings. So many people loved my dress & said that it was perfect for me! Her staff was also very friendly and helpful whenever I came in. I loved their willingness to work with me on pricing & they always made sure I was pleased with how the dress turned out. Thank you Jaclyn’s Bridal for my beautiful dress & the wonderful experience!
With my 1-year anniversary around the corner, this review is LONG overdue. If I could give Jaclyn’s Bridal more than 5 stars, I would. I literally stumbled upon a hidden gem when I found this boutique! Jaclyn's is the place to go for elegant, timeless dresses and excellent customer service. Everyone there was so nice and we immediately felt welcome. I cannot stress how incredibly talented, kind, and helpful Mindy - the head designer/seamstress/owner - was. She was easy to work with and very accommodating of my schedule (I lived on the East Coast at the time, and could only come in when I was home on vacation). She went above and beyond what I could have ever expected - from customizing my veil and dress to special ordering earrings for me, to letting my sisters, cousins, maid of honor, and friend from Germany try on wedding dresses just for fun!!! Her workmanship was absolutely stunning, and my dress fit like a glove. Every girl in my family will be coming back to see Mindy when it's their turn to get married! Thank you for everything and for making me look so beautiful on my wedding day!!!
Mindy was great to work with. She helped me customize my dress, making several alterations in order to achieve the style I wanted. She was easy to work with, reliable and a great value. I would recommend her shop for both the dress and the alterations. She also rents accessories which is super helpful.
Great service! Amazing prices and breathtaking dresses. Had numerous alterations made to my dress, added a few ideas as well, and it was absolutely perfection! Mindy is the sweetest person, and will make you feel right at home. I recommend this place without any reservations.
More than once, Connie, proved to be the best salesperson for my wedding dress as far as I'm concerned, she gave me invaluable tips and gentle encouragement to keep me motivated and within my budget. I even stayed a little over my appointment time and I never once felt rushed out - more common than I anticipated in other shops.
I visited Jaclyn's this past weekend. What a great experience! Cary and Audrey are incredibly helpful - especially with ideas to "spice up" your dress. Prices are quite reasonable, dresses are clean (unlike other places), and the staff is friendly. I didn't end up getting my dress here, but I would definitely recommend Jaclyn's to anyone.
Jaclyn’s Bridal has been one of the best parts of wedding planning for me. Every girl dreams of finding their dream dress among helpful, caring, excited professionals and that's exactly how my experience was. My mom, sister and I were treated incredibly. We had an amazing time trying on dresses with Mindy, who was very energetic and fun to work with! The store has the perfect environment and you'll feel very comfortable there. I have been to a few other stores in the area and this one is my favorite. Thanks to all who work there!
I truly can't say enough about how genuine the service was at Jaclyn's Bridal. My name is Jaclyn (yes spelled the same) and I felt like it was sort of fate to shop here first! SO thankful I did! My mom and family were in from out of town so it was very special that they got to be there when I said yes to the dress. Mindy is incredible. She takes pride in all she does for this bridal shop and it shows. Beautiful dresses and outstanding customer service. 5 stars across the board
I found my stunning wedding dress at Jaclyn’s Bridal. I purchased it sight unseen eleven months prior to my wedding date. Mindy was very helpful and responsive during the process and ensured that my dress arrived in plenty of time for my bridal portraits and wedding. She went above and beyond and allowed me to have my bridal portraits taken in her boutique. If you are looking for a gorgeous and unique dress, Jaclyn’s Bridal is the perfect destination!!
I cannot even explain how pleasant and stress-free my experience was at Jaclyn's Bridal. I am Mormon and had to have a modest dress (which is VERY difficult to find). Modest dresses are usually not the most appealing wedding dresses, but Mindy worked wonders! They hand pick all of the dresses in the store so they are all GORGEOUS! After trying on multiple dresses, we ended up getting the second one I tried on. It needed some alterations and Mindy was able to add some modesty to it without taking away the look of the dress. The alterations were FLAWLESS! You could not even tell anything was done to the dress. My dress was my favorite part of my wedding (besides my husband of course), and I wish I could wear it everyday for the rest of my life. This place took SO much stress out of the wedding planning process. Everyone needs to go here!
We purchased my wedding dress from Jaclyn's bridal as well as our alterations and a veil, belt, and headpiece rental. I love that they offer a rental option since they have high-quality items that are only worn for one day. Mindy was so helpful, professional, and easy to work with and they will work with your budget as well. This was the first place I went to try on dresses and after trying David's Bridal after, I knew this was the place to go! My dress was everything I had been looking for and I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. Thank you Jaclyn's Bridal!
I purchased the dress of my dreams from Mindy and I couldn't be happier about the entire experience. I walked in after going to several bridal shops and showed her the picture of the dress I wanted - although they didn't have the exact one there she went on the computer and through the designer ordered it for me and a portion of the original price others were charging! The entire process was great, when she received the dress I went on for the fittings several times and Mindy was so helpful with helping my with the right shoes, jewelry, and vail. Thankful I choose this place and Mindy!
This was my first stop in my search for finding a wedding gown. I had spent several months researching the kind of dress I wanted, put together a little inspiration board, and then found this place through "The Knot."
On my first visit, I was introduced to Mindy. She asked me what my budget was, and it happened to be lower than what was available. Instead of telling me to look elsewhere, she worked with me on it. She came up with a special exception for me. In a price that was just only a little over what I was asking, she let me rent a dress, and included the veil and alterations in the price.
After trying on about 5 dresses, I found "the one." It was a shorter dress (about ankle-length at the time) with a beautiful sparkly band, and pockets (design: Enzoani Elkedra). When I tried it on it was strapless, but Mindy told me that it had the option to be customized on the top, with tops that attach to the dress. I thought the dress was adorable and it fit my taste 100%.
I made an appointment for a second visit, this next time would be to try on different tops. Upon the second visit I tried on several different tops, but this time did not find anything I was too jazzed about. After describing what I had in mind, Mindy told me she could order something similar or even create it. During this visit, my mom and I found a little discount rack in the corner of older bridesmaids and mother of the bride dresses. My cousin was getting married soon, as well, so we picked out two little pretty dresses for the occasion.
For my third visit, Mindy brought in an adorable little sheer top that had cute little daisy embellishments bordering the neckline and the sleeves. She picked it up just for me at a bridal convention in Chicago! I was absolutely blown away at the lengths she went to making me a happy bride. Getting this top was incredibly generous of her. During this visit we also altered the dress from hanging by my feet to a cute tea-length. The dress had also been cleaned by this point, as well.
My fourth visit was about a week or so ahead of the wedding. I tried it on and made sure it fit. It was a little snug, so Mindy let it out just a bit and waxed the zipper so my mom would have less difficulty zipping me up on my wedding day. At this time, I also picked out a veil, which went to the middle of my back and had a sparkly border which matched my dress's band perfectly.
My fifth visit was picking up the dress! Mindy was helping another bride when I arrived, but made sure to see I got my dress and gave me best wishes.
Overall, a fantastic experience. I would like to point out a second time, that I was a special exception. Still, I will definitely recommend this boutique to any bride who is looking for a gown!
I came into the store with a dress I had bought from BHLDN that arrived completely see-through. I am 5'10" and there was no commercial slip long enough to hide that. I reviewed the dress with Mindy and we both determined that it would be cheaper to buy a new dress than it would be to remake the first one.
I ended up taking home a floor model for the Pronovias Semilla that Mindy had received that week and had just received from the cleaners the day before. No one else had tried it on and she sold me the only dress she had because we all loved me in it.
Mindy is amazing to work with and I love love love how my dress turned out. It was perfect. If you need a dress or advice on any dress, Mindy will take great care of you.
Jaclyn’s Bridal was the first stop out of four on my hunt for "the dress". I have to say it was absolutely the best in terms of service, selection (for my taste anyway - I found 3 amazing gowns in one hour!), and warm consideration. I was afraid that my budget was going to get me sneered out of some places (and it definitely did in some other shops that I won't name), but I always felt like I was treated with respect and my best interests was always paramount. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. What a great experience!
I found my dream dress here and the staff was amazing. Mindy is the best. I highly recommend this store!
I had already purchased my wedding dress when I went to Jaclyn's bridal so came here to look at the bridesmaid dresses. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The customer service is beyond excellent. I had to have one dress sent to Ohio and they sent it for me at a great price and even called me to leave a message regarding the tracking number. They had a great selection of colors and styles. So happy with my purchase. My bridesmaids looked absolutely gorgeous.
Mindy at Jaclyn’s Bridal was such a helpful and wonderful person to work with, while I was choosing my dress for the big day. She was there every time I came back to get fitted and was so sweet. The bridal shop itself, is quite beautiful and intimate. The seamstresses that hemmed my dress made it fit like a glove, and it was really easy to get the appointments that fit my schedule. I recommend Jaclyn’s Bridal, if you are looking for a one stop shop for the dress and fit of your dreams.
Nothing short of a 5 star experience, AND consistent! Bridal & Bridesmaid gowns!
I purchased my gown with Mindy, and felt comfortable despite ever trying it on. Crazy, I know. I saw it once at the store, took a picture, and fell in love.. I went back 2 months later, and it was sold and no sample in the store.. Mindy was able to help me visualize myself in the gown, and I purchased it with full faith. Not only did it fit perfectly, but she measured me so well that I needed 0 alterations (exception: hem). She helped me 'smoosh' it into a tiny carry on (destination wedding: Barbados!) in a way that it was without wrinkles when I unpacked it 2 days later!
Not only is Mindy a bridal god, but her ability to alter (and save the day) other gowns, is amazing. I bought a bridesmaid dress that never really fit perfect/zipped... Mindy worked magic for me, and when I forgot the dress in California (ie.. forgot to pick it up from Mindy).. she express shipped it to me in NYC !
Mindy is a bridal god, a life saver, a magic maker. Trust me when I say GO SEE MINDY FIRST!!!!!!!!!
I had such a great time working with Mindy and her team to perfect my wedding dress. She doesn't just treat you like another customer, but truly enjoys her job and working with brides! I was actually really sad when we said goodbye but I know we will work with her again some how (!). My mom ended up getting her MOB dress here too as we trusted Mindy so much! I must have visited 10 different wedding dress shops before I found the 'one' actually at another dress shop. Jaclyn's was still on my calendar to visit though - I emailed her to tell her I found the one somewhere else and asked if she carried it too. She carried the designer (Allure), but not that particular dress, but she offered to order it and better the price from the other place. I appreciated her honesty throughout the entire process - she will tell you her opinion, but she isn't over-bearing and what's great about her is she listens to every concern you have and comes up with a solution (which ended up being a push up bra for me - hahaha!). She was patient with me and let me keep my dress on for an hour every time I visited, which must have annoyed her deep down, but she knew how excited I was!! Brides - go have initial appointments elsewhere and then do yourself a favor and make Mindy your last stop - I know she'll have the dress for you!!!
Mindy helped me find the perfect dress. It was the last stop of the day. I was tired, and thought I wouldn't find the dress of my dreams. I tried so many dresses on, but it was the last one she recommended that I absolutely fell in love with. I respect her opinion and expertise. I am forever grateful, and can't wait to walk down the aisle in my dress.
I could not say enough wonderful things about Jaclyn's Bridal if i tried, it would take me forever! I found the most beautiful dress by AIRE, i purchased it off the rack for an unheard of discount, and i had it tailored there. I fit me like a glove. It was stunning. I also purchased my veil and other hair accessories there by Erica Koesler. I had so many compliments on everything! The staff at Jaclyn's isn't pushy, they don't make you feel like you have to get the most expensive thing, and they are sO helpful! Thanks so much ladies for making my big day a big success!
Jaclyn's Bridal is the ONLY place to go to find your wedding dress. They provide you with such knowledgeable and friendly service as well as a great selection. They are also so helpful when it comes to providing input and giving you honest opinions. Some places will tell you anything to sell you a dress, but Jaclyn's Bridal gives it to you straight. Jaclyn's Bridal is definitely a must when looking for your wedding dress.
I found Jaclyn's Bridal on Yelp and it was the 5th bridal shop I visited. Mindy helped me get my perfect wedding dress!
There was a particular Mori Lee dress I tried on in another shop, and it was always the one to beat. I kept shopping to see if there was anything else that wowed me, but this dress never left my mind. I felt a little defeated by the time I got to Jaclyn's. This shop didn't carry my specific gown, but they are authorized dealers for Mori Lee and Mindy ordered my gown for a better price than the others who carried it!
My mom got her MOB dress here as well. We received friendly service from all employees here, and alterations went without a hitch. I was so excited the day I took my dress home!
The boutique is intimate and they carry lovely styles. Be sure to always make an appointment!
Mindy was great to work with. She helped me customize my dress, making several alterations in order to achieve the style I wanted. She was easy to work with, reliable and a great value. I would recommend her shop for both the dress and the alterations. She also rents accessories which is super helpful.
One word…Mindy! She is the owner of Jaclyn’s Bridal and an amazing person. We were mostly window shopping trying to get an idea of what bridesmaid dresses cost and on a whim we stopped by her wonderful boutique. She let my MOH try on the dress without an appointment. I was looking at wedding dresses and my MOH asked if I could try some on, again no appointment. I fell in love with the second dress I tried on. Mindy gave me an incredible deal on the dress and a great relationship began. Note, this is a boutique store with a knowledgeable owner and seamstress, not a plush champagne serving, charge you an arm and a leg for a dress shop. Mindy has a great ability to help each bride / bridesmaid / MOG find a dress that fits their individual style. My 7 bridesmaid were able to pick out the style they wanted in the Victorian Lilac Color. Mindy is great about helping to pick out sizes that do not need lots of alterations later. Her alteration pricing is very fair and she does most of the work herself. Brides are also able to rent veils, headpieces and jewelry from her. I rented my veil and headpiece and purchased my earrings and a bracelet from Jaclyn’s. We all looked great in our dresses and received lots of compliments. Do yourself a favor and get your wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses here.

This was the first and only dress shop I went to! Mindy, the owner, helped me every step of the way, and took care of me the whole time! I loved my dress and my bridesmaid dresses and everything came out perfectly (including all alterations and timing!)!!! And I love your new website!!
What can I say? Mindy is AMAZING!!! I purchased my dress, all 7 bridesmaid dresses and had my alterations here. Oh, and I purchased a BEAUTIFUL veil and sash here as well. Mindy was wonderful, she has this amazing eye and can add little sashes or flowe rs to make your dress unique. She was extremely patient and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride! Not to mention... she spent hours altering my dress to make it look and fit perfectly- her dedication was amazing and I appreciate her sooo much!!
I went to Jaclyn's Bridal on my lunch break since it was so close to my work. I didn't at all expect to find the dress there, but the owner made me an offer I could not refuse. She gave me an advance on her sale that she has annual. It was a really great sale- 75% off!! I got my dress for less than 500 and it was a couture dress valued at 2,000! I really loved the owner's sense of style and professionalism. You could tell immediately that she knew what she was doing and was not just some worker in a bridal store. She's a designer and wonderful seamstress. The cost for my alterations was a little pricy compared to others, but I ended up forking over the money because I knew she knew what she was doing and would not make a mistake. The store is really flexible and nice to go into. I recommend this small, charming bridal boutique. The owner really knows her stuff!
I made an appointmemt with this salon to come in to try dresses on for the first time ever! The dress selection there was beautiful but minimal compared to the place i went to after this. My mom was running late and got lost in the parking lot, while I wanted to wait to put dresses on the lady NOT subtly hinted that they like to stay on schedule and they have appointments coming in in the next half an hour so it was best to get started. I felt completely rushed and it made my MOH uncomfortable like we were just a pain to be there. Also maybe 1 dress i tried on actually fit. Their samples are SMALL!! so if your a girl who is a size 10/12 like me and feel self conscious as-is don't go here! Most of the dresses I couldn't even pull over my hips. needless to say I left in tears. Plus the dress that i really wanted I couldn't even get on. My experience was awful. I ended up going somewhere else who were SO much more friendly and nicer and who samples were 12-14 range so that they can just clip you in like most places do. I thought with all the great reviews this place would be the best and it was an experience I can't take back. Maybe i just got unlucky.
I couldn’t have asked for a better shopping experience than the one that I had at Jaclyn’s Bridal. I originally planned to get my dress from David’s Bridal, but figured I would go to a few smaller salons just to see what was out there. Jaclyn’s Bridal was the first salon I went to and they blew me away. Everything was so civilized and elegant. I was the only bride in the salon and I walked around pointing at every dress that I wanted to try one while my bridal attendant put them in my dressing room. I ended up trying on 12 dresses and picked the first one I tried on. Additionally, the seamstresses are EXCEPTIONAL. My dress fit like a glove before we even made alterations (due to a lot of experience), but the seamstress turned my dress from beautiful into PERFECTION. I didn't love the sweetheart neckline so they actually changed it for me. I also added a monogram (as my something blue) in the underside of the dress. Overall, an amazing experience and I will definitely recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful dress and outstanding service!
Jaclyn's Bridal is a breath of fresh air. I am a wedding planner in Orange County and after several of my clients had a great experience with Jaclyn's Bridal, I refereed my very own sister there after becoming engaged in 2012. She fell in love with the very first dress she tried on. There was NO RUSH and NO PRESSURE to buy the same day unlike other bridal stores. So when I myself became engaged the following year, I also purchased my gown from Jaclyn's Bridal. Mindy, the owner, even let me special order my gown since she did not carry the particular style I wanted with no additional cost. I had nothing but the very best treatment and since then, I have referred all my brides looking for beautiful gowns at exceptional prices.
I went to Jaclyn’s Bridals on a Saturday afternoon. The store was very busy with brides and their mothers/friends. The saleswoman that worked with, Mindy was just as sweet as can be. She was very attentive and let me try on probably 20 dresses. She took her time and made the experience special for me even though there was so much going on in the store. They were the only place that allowed me to snap a few photos of my favorite dresses. That was a definite plus for me as I like to go home and continue to look at it as I contemplate this major decision!
If you are a bride, Jaclyn's Bridal is the place to visit. Mindy was my Bridal Consultant. She went above and beyond to make me feel relaxed and almost like family. She answered all of my questions and let me know that I was making a wonderful choice. My sisters wanted to make her our wedding planner! Mindy said that she would love to but, Jaclyn's Bridal needs her to be available to other brides that need gowns too. Making a bridal purchase is almost as if I purchased a car or a home. I had that very same feeling as when I handed over my credit card. I think that Mindy saw it in my eyes that I was kind of scared. She smiled at me and said that everything was fine and that I was in great hands. She had also informed me that Jaclyn’s Bridal pretty much relies on reputation. When she said that..... I was impressed. Reputation is pretty much like the first impression. Thank You Mindy and everyone at Jaclyn's Bridal.
Mindy at Jaclyn’s Bridal is AMAZING! I came to her after a bad experience at a store nearby. I had found a dress at the other location, but because of the service, did not want to purchase from them. However, with Mindy's help, we were able to find the dress that I wanted and order it that day. She was so sweet. I also had my younger sisters with me and they were welcomed to try on some bridesmaid dresses even though we had just walked in without an appointment. They had so much fun trying on dresses and picking colors, it made the whole experience even better. Mindy also offered to help accessorize my dress (they have an amazing selection of jewelry and sashes to rent) and helped choose colors and styles for my entire bridal party, including the groomsmen! She really helped bring the whole vision together. I will be taking the rest of my bridal party in to get all 8 of their dresses from Jaclyn's Bridal.
I had my mother's beautiful, one of a kind, year 30 year old dress that I wanted to wear for my wedding. I thought it was going to be impossible for me to wear it without losing 10 pounds just in my back area and due to its complicated design, I didn't think it could be altered. But, on the advice of a friend, we decided to try Jaclyn's Bridal. Mindy is so knowledgeable and a perfectionist. She did some ingenious tailoring to it and matched everything even the aged nature of the material. It turned out beautifully and I thought the price was very reasonable for the labor and skill involved. Thank you Mindy and Jaclyn's bridal for making my dream come!!!
I went Jaclyn’s Bridal, 2 months before my wedding date, with a wedding gown disaster story. I happened to be just passing by this shop and I left there having tried on my dream dress. I purchased my wedding gown from them and the owner of the salon made sure that every detail was perfect for me. The few alterations that were needed were completed by them and were well above my expectations. The dress fit my body better than I could have ever imagined. The owner and the staff are welcoming and gracious, and they work to make sure that your look is perfect and you are a happy bride.
Mindy is amazing! Great customer service, creative, patient and worked wonders on my dress!!
The ladies here are very friendly, and there are so many dresses, and they always have a good deal. Every time I went for a fitting, I saw so many dresses at a good price I couldn't look anymore as I had already chosen my dress. I would go here before you settle on a dress anywhere else.
Mindy was amazing - she ordered a dress for me that she did not previously have in store, altered it and made it PERFECT! The whole process was non-stressful and she was awesome.
Really nice and helpful ladies. Bought my dress during their week long Black Friday sale. Great deal and they kept my dress until I needed to pick it up.
My daughter and I visited Jaclyn's Bridals after shopping several other stores. The sales woman was very friendly and helpful. She never made us feel pressured into buying. We also loved the small feel of the store - we could see the inventory and enjoyed looking through the beautiful dresses.
We had a special request and the owner was just wonderful to work with. I have three daughter so I know we will be return customers!
Thanks so much!

I found the dress of my dreams here, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of the wonderful ladies who work there. If I had to do it again, I would not go anywhere else!
This bridal shop was AMAZING!!! I originally purchased my dress from Alfred Angelo in Riverside and they had horrible service. My mom found Jaclyn's Bridal and thank goodness she did!!! Mindy at Jaclyn's Bridal was so amazing and the alterations that they do are so perfect! They always made sure that I felt comfortable and they knew exactly what to do to make me look absolutely BEAUTIFUL in my dress. I cannot say enough good things about the service and the beautiful work that they do with alterations and also jewelry.
Mindy and her employees are such great people! I can not say enough about them! I purchased my wedding dress from her and my mom's dress from her as well and regrettably did not purchase my bridesmaids dresses from her since my BMs and wedding were all in the Philadelphia area. Mindy is sweet, talented and a great businesswoman! She was so helpful to both my mom and myself and accommodated us both (especially because my mom traveled from PA for her alterations). I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this salon! It was a pleasure working with them!
Very happy with my dress. Mindy took one look at me, and within minutes pulled the dress of my dreams.
I loved working with Jaclyn's Bridals. The team there is so professional and easy to work with. They were an unexpected stop on my journey to find my wedding dress - I called them because I was in the area (visiting from NYC) and they were closing in 30 minutes. They didn't have an appointment open but told me and my mom to come on in! Lone behold I found my dream dress and bought it that day. Mindy, the store owner, is wonderful. She was so easy to work with and always gave me her honest opinion. I would highly recommend Jaclyn's Bridals - you will not be disappointed!
I fell in love with an all lace gown by a Spanish designer (Pronovias). I needed it altered a bit to be modest for my LDS temple wedding. They did an incredible job. It took many fittings to get it right, but they were awesome. People told me if I paid less than $25,000 for my dress it was a steal. It was not a cookie cutter dress with sleeves. It was fabulous. I can't say enough for their wonderful tailoring my Amber and all the staff was wonderful.
This was the first and only dress shop I went to! The girl helped me every step of the way, and took care of me the whole time! I loved my dress and my bridesmaid dresses and everything came out perfectly (including all alterations and timing!)!!!
I know that all brides are "supposed" to look forward to buying their wedding dress, but I wasn't one of those brides. I was also overly concerned about the cost, and just hadn't gotten too excited about any dresses that I had seen or tried on. But, we walked into Jaclyn's Bridal (after reading loads of positive reviews online), and I was so pleased at their wide range of choices--price wise, brand wise, and look wise. It is just a great store for a bride who isn't quite sure what she's looking for yet. You can try on all of the different styles, materials, everything. They really do have a little bit of everything. Jaclyn's was the 6th store I went to and I bought the 3rd dress I tried on there. And I know that even if I hadn't bought the one I did, I would have found something that I loved there. And, the gal who runs the store, Mindy, is great at helping you find your "look" for the wedding. She helped with choosing the sash, jewelry suggestions, hair style suggestions, the veil, it was just so easy. After a lot of frustration and feigned excitement for a lot of overly enthusiastic shop girls, she was a delight to work with. I didn't at all feel pushed into buying something, she was honest when something didn't quite fit me right and I appreciated it.
Something else to note. I needed to buy my dress off the rack (I'd put it to the last minute and didn't have the ability to order a dress) and Jaclyn's Bridal will sell to you off the rack. Their tailoring is excellent and well priced. She originally quoted us $350 for tailoring, and when she found out from the tailor that it would more like $495 she still charged us $350. I ended up spending about a $1000 total for the dress, sash rental, veil and tailoring, which was about half of what I had been hoping to spend. Believe me, it is possible to get a beautiful dress and not spend $1000s of dollars!!! Jaclyn's Bridal was fantastic. It's definitely worth a trip.
To get a sneak peak at their black friday sale, I stopped in the week before with a girlfriend. The owner and her daughter were working and provided me with such a great experience. Not only were they extremely helpful they provided honest feedback when I solicited it and made what I thought was going to be a nightmare experience into an amazing one. When I came back a second time to show the family they were also very accomodating. This shop is affordable and friendly!
This is a very cute little dress shop near South Coast Plaza. It has a lot of classic beautiful dresses for very great prices.
I found a Pronovias dress that I fell in love with but it was discontinued, so they couldn't order it. Luckily, the sample dress fit me almost like a glove, so they gave me a great 60% discount and tailored it for me.
The only issue I had with the place was the sales people. They were nice enough, but they aren't like most of the dress places I visited. At most of the shops I visited, the salespeople had a conversation with me about what I envisioned, and helped me choose dresses, but here, they just told me to browse the store and pick them out myself. Most of the time I went in, no one was at the front of the store to greet me--they were all in the back and I had to find them.
The tailor who did my alterations in the store was very nice, but she kept missing a lot of things that we (my mother and I) told her to fix. Over and over again, we had to tell her to tighten up some loose beading, but she kept missing them.
On my final fitting, I found a tiny green stain on the front of my dress, which I find it hard to believe that she missed, but if she did, whatever. I kept waiting for her to offer some solution, but I could tell she was waiting for me to say something about it. Obviously, I couldn't just leave it how it was, but she said she couldn't clean it, so I just stood there, waiting for her to offer something.
Finally, she said she could cover it up with some lace. I have to admit, she did a great job with that, and I couldn't tell, nor could any of my family or friends. I was finally happy with my dress.
Long story short--great dresses, great prices, cute store, not-so-professional customer service (plus, the tailor smelled pretty strongly of cigarettes smoke).
I know a lot of people who got their dresses here, and I did too, but you need to be ok with putting up with pretty lousy customer service.
Jaclyn's was having a big sale so I went there to purchase my veil. The store was busy but they took their time to help me choose just what I wanted and place my order. They were very knowledgable and helpful. My veil came in quickly and it was beatiful. Unfortanately I didnt know about their store when I purchased my dress or I would have definitely shopped there.
This is a great dress shop. Mindy, the owner, worked with me and got me my dream dress. She has a great eye and they also do alterations there as well. Definite must check out. Shop is across from South Coast Plaza mall.
The ladies at the salon were so nice. I found my gown at another salon but Jaclyn's bridal accommodated my budget by getting me a great deal on the same gown! I was pregnant while planning my wedding so they made sure to accommodate me with all of my last minute post-partum fittings as my wedding took place only 3 weeks after my daughter's birth! They made sure everything was taken care of so I looked phenomenal on my big day. Also I am so glad they took the time to talk me into a veil which I didn't originally consider. It really made me feel like a bride. Thank you!
