Kirsten Paige Bridal

Because she is the designer, she can essentially make you the top of one dress with the bottom of another, for example. As it is a more personalized experience, it ended up being a little out of my price range but I would highly recommend Kirsten!

! She gave me all the time I needed (I tried on some of the dresses twice), answered all my questions, took a million photos for me, and even offered ways we could make slight changes to incorporate things I liked from other dresses! I've been on the hunt for an effortlessly chic yet simple wedding dress like these and am so excited to have found Kirsten! If you're in the Bay Area you have to go meet her!

y wedding dress shopping experience one I'll never forget. She really listens to what you want and helps you find the perfect fit for your special day. I can't wait to wear my gorgeous gown at our outdoor wedding in April!! Thank you, Kirsten, for making my wedding dress dreams come true!!

g back to this dress even if I tried something else on. I was lucky enough to book an appointment during her trunk show. The unique details of her dresses are unlike any other designer and these are definitely not your typical bridal gowns. They are classic, yet modern with a touch of bohemian. The lace on the Stella gown specifically is a unique find and screams boho. Before ordering however, I wasn't sure of the lower back on the gown. My girls (aka tatas) are not tiny and I couldn't see myself wearing a sticky bra in Las Vegas. So the owner of Juno (Claire) text Kirsten and asked if we could move the back up. She happily agreed and I put my deposit down on my dress! I said yes to the dress! A few months later my dress came in (early) and I went to Juno Bridal for my try-on. The dress was perfect. I took it home and later I started to get nervous about the hemming process. The lace is so gorgeous and detailed I didn't want anything to happen to it. I reached out to Kirsten and she let me know she was from my area and was actually coming to visit family and she would personally hem my dress. I was so excited. I mean... how many girls actually meet their dress designer? Finally, I met Kirsten and she is truly as amazing as her dresses! It was a wondering experience I will brag about for a lifetime when explaining my dress. If you are curious about her dresses, PLEASE go for a try on and I promise you won't be disappointed. Ps. check her insta! Lots of inspiration for her dresses! #kirstenpaigebridal

I asked to meet up with her just to test the waters and she was so helpful. She even insisted I keep searching at some places she recommended that would have similar styles to see what looks good on me and what I liked on rather than just in photos/Pinterest. Going to these places, I quickly realized that my idea for pricing was way off. Including the alterations that I would need, it was going to be way more than with Kirsten who's alterations are obviously included since it's made to order. Definitely keep that in mind! When you go custom, you don't really get a chance to try things on until you're already putting money down. That's the scary part. At least that's what I was told at the time. BUT! After searching for a few months, she contacted me and said she was going to have a Darcy sample in my size (16-18) because she was making samples for boutiques. I am so so glad I waited! I didn't want to take it off!! I had been trying on tons of dresses, some similar in style but never in my size so I could never see the pretty lace backs. This sample was a touch too big but felt so comfortable and I got to see the whole thing come together. She allowed me to make a few changes like shortening the train, lowering the front slit, and bringing up the deep V, even adding a little lace to cover up my cleavage a bit. She has made the process so easy and has answered every question and concern. I can't wait to see my dress in a few months and start the alteration process. Kirsten is an artist with obvious talent and such a professional. She's so sweet and genuine and really cares about her clients. She really does want every bride to find her right dress. She's been a pleasure to work with so far and I can't wait to see her again with my dress!

day. All of her dresses are so beautiful and mine will be perfect for my destination wedding next summer! I absolutely recommend Kirsten Paige if your looking for a bridal gown !
