Absolutely recommend for Best service, and unique dress styles. Vivi was such a pleasure to work with. She made me feel like Royalty and treated me like a Queen when trying on dres...
ses. She helped me in and out of every dress while being respectful and kind. She allowed me to make my own decision and did not try to sell me something I didn't want. I really love how they allow you to look at the dresses at your own pace and without hovering. Items are samples and if you are looking for a dress you thought was discontinued then I recommend that you could possibly find it here. They also offer new styles as well. I found my Martina Liana 1520 here and didn't expect to fall in love since I didn't know an exact dress I was looking for. Vivi even found me a beautiful designer veil that matched perfectly. I'm extremely big on customer service and all I can say is I was blown away by the kindness and treatment I recieved here. Thank You Vivi for being a wonderful caring person and helping me achieve my dream wedding look. You will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I want to first start off by thanking Viviana and her excellent service and expertise. I felt very comfortable with her and loved her suggestions and recommendations. She listened ...
to what I liked and disliked. She was a great support for myself and my family accompanying me. The dresses I tried on were all very beautiful and great quality; I was left with a very hard decision to pick out of my top 3 dresses. After visiting other shops, La Vie en Blanc had the best selection for me to find my perfect dress.
This boutique had excellent service. My family and I were treated with such love, and I was able to find my dream dress! The quality of the dresses is one of a kind and had a perfe...

Hidden gem! Vivi was AMAZING!! highly recommend this store!! She helped me find my perfect dress and the pricing is VERY reasonable. Most people go to a store and don't find anythi...
ng or maybe if they are lucky 1 dress that is probably overpriced. I found 4-6 dresses i absolutely loved all at very reasonable prices.
My experience at La Vie En Blanc was all I could have hoped for. To start out, the actual booking process was a breeze, and the staff were very attentive to my emails and requests ...
to adjust the initial time I had set. Once I arrived, I was the only bride in the store, and was attended by one of the owners who was incredibly kind, supportive, and professional. Even though this is a boutique store, they have an extensive selection of dresses, and I was able to try on many options to narrow down what I was looking for. Even though this was my first bridal appointment, I felt confident that I found my dream dress at La Vie En Blanc and became a #BlancBride that same day! I never felt pressured or like I was being "sold to", and I am so appreciative of the positive experience I had. I highly recommend making an appointment no matter where you are in the gown shopping process to see their gorgeous selection.
I appreciated how easy Viviana made the experience feel. It was the first apt I made and didn’t have a good idea of what I was looking for or what styles would be flattering on me....
After helping me pick a handful of beautiful dresses to try on, I was amazed and so happy to have walked out of the appointment with the perfect dress .. and under budget!!

What a great experience! Janice was wonderful and helped me find my dream dress (and within my budget). Would recommend to anyone :)

ed on a lot of dresses, she ultimately pulled the dress I ended up taking with me. I was nervous about my budget and finding something within that budget but they had such a variety of dresses for such a great value! I want to thank her and La Vie en Blanc for such a beautiful experience.
What an amazing place! Super attentive, personable and accommodating. They have a great selection for every price range. Thanks for helping me find my dream dress!

es within their extensive collection while also having the professionals pick some for me based on my vision for my wedding. I also really appreciated that they allowed exclusive time for just my family and I to look at the dress and weigh my options when I walked out of the dressing room, it allowed me not to feel pressured to choose anything. They were also so helpful in putting me in different veils and accessories so I could better see myself all dolled up. I walked out with a beautiful dress that made me feel special and gorgeous. Thank you so much La Vie!
I visited around 5 bridal shops in my search and La Vie En Blanc was by far my best experience - not only because I ended up finding my dress there but because of the warm and inti...
mate atmosphere. Viviana was great at listening to my wants, making thoughtful suggestions, and allowing my mom and I privacy to take pictures and discuss each dress I tired on in detail. For someone looking to cap my budget at $1000 I was very impressed by their selection. No doubt I would still be searching if not for this gem of a bridal shop. Highly recommend!
I had no idea where to look for dresses and happened upon La Vie En Blanc when I did a quick Google search - a bridal boutique offering sample sale dresses and secondhand was right...
up my ally. Not just for the cost saving aspect, but for the environmental friendly aspect as well! Prices of dresses range from just below $1,000 and all the way up to $10,000. But the largest selection is between $3,000 and $1,000.
Making the appointment was easy and I got a spot a month in advance. On the day of, we arrived on time and were immediately taken in with Viviana - one of the co-owners. My mom and I were given time to go through the dresses ourselves and flag the ones we were interested in. After that we were led to the fitting room and Viviana made me feel so comfortable assisting me with putting the dresses on.
The first one I tried on was THE one! I did try on about 10 more and Viviana pulled some dresses from upstairs just in case, but when you know you know.
She brought out several veils to try on as well and we found the perfect one.
The best part of the whole experience is that you get to take the dress home with you the same day! Viviana also gave me recommendations for tailors in town to make adjustments to the dress.
Overall, it was a great experience and I'm so happy I went to La Vie En Blanc!
I cannot recommend La Vie En Blanc enough! This was the second bridal shop that I had gone to and it was such a unique experience. The appointment is personal to you and they make ...
your guests feel as included as possible. They have a wide selection of dresses available ranging in all different price points. I left that day with my dress in hand and I couldn’t be happier!
Unfortunately this appointment experience was far from luxury or professional. I had arrived at my appointment on time and there were no available fitting rooms or even consultants...
. After 20min past my appointment time of us looking through racks ourselves, there still was not a consultant to assist.
Additionally this pricing advertising is very misleading!! When I saw dresses were advertised on their website 25-75% off, I emailed to confirm the starting price point these dresses started at, in order to calculate after the discount if they had options in my budget. I was told they start at 25, without saying a percentage that sounds like they start at $2500 before their discounts. THIS IS FALSE! They have nothing under $3000, and that is with their calculated discounts applied.
This is not a shop for a bride on a budget, and I wish they were better at communicating their prices when asked. It would have avoided me wasting time and the drive there on a packed day of dress shopping appointments.
Also, beware… the $32.10 appointment fee that is said to be refundable if you don’t buy anything has still not be refunded to me a month later.
I came in to my 4th bridal salon, and left with my dress! Helpful and sweet Jenise, got my vibe and gave me the time. Really, if you are looking for GORGEOUS and variety of samples...

listened to what i wanted and I really valued her honesty throughout the process too! I came in 39 days before my wedding, which i don't recommend to anyone lol, but i found my dream dress at a dream price!

dresses , I found my perfect dress!! Thank you Jenise!!!! For your patience, for being so sweet with me and my family. You definitely made the difference! The shop is beautiful and so much to choose from! I would and I have recommended this shop! Thank you!!!
I purchased my dream dress this weekend from Jenise at La Vie en Blanc. First, the pricing on these designers dresses that have been worn once is insane. My dress is retailed at 3,...
800 and I paid less than half of that. Second, I have family issues (as most Latinas do) and my mom and sister attended and just soured my day. Jenise kept me focused and emotionally in-line enough to block them and help me make a decision of WHAT I WANT. Literally a therapist. This apt was very personal and heart felt and I cried and I’m not even a crier. I had been to 4 bridal shops before, including Coral Gables, with the glitz, glam, champagne and never could compare to the attention to detail and humanity in these ladies. Don’t get me wrong, their boutique is modern and beautiful with whites and creams; very calming. But they are there to find you THE DRESS, not to bait in you in buying something that is not for you. I would highly recommend them to ALL brides. Even if you have a crazy budget, they have $10k dresses for half the price. I was there for 2 hours! And she wouldn’t give up on me. I literally dream of my dress daily. THANK YOU JENISE!
Such a great experience! Jenise was so incredibly patient with me and encouraged me to keep trying on dresses until I was absolutely sure! They had more of a selection than many of...

warmth approach made me feel right at home; so much so that I found the dress! She has unique and beautiful dresses, at fraction of the price ( win!) definitely recommend it as a top location for a visit!
Thank you Viví and your little helper ( daughter). ♥️

int. They had the most gorgeous selection of dresses. Vivi was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process, she was such a joy and made this day a memory I'll never forget. I was able to find my dream dress here and I can't wait to be married in it!

to find the perfect dress at an amazing price.
This store is incredible. A lot of the bridal stores I went to in Miami felt stuffy or haughty, which is not really my vibe. The lovely ladies at La Vie En Blanc helped me feel com...
fortable and to help me find the perfect accessories - I had a total blast (which is saying something, since I am not a shopper). Perfect for those brides who get overwhelmed with the process of looking like a bride as well as those who are looking for cute, sustainable options :)
I came to this shop off of a recommendation. The dresses that they carry are spectacular. Janise was so kind and helpful. She lets you pick dresses that you want to try on, and s...
he picks out dresses that she thinks suits your body type and fit the style you're looking for. She really helped me understand what I really wanted - it's one thing to look at a dress online and say you want it, but nothing beats trying them on. Janise was so patient and just an absolute joy.
The story behind La Vie En Blanc is also beautiful, and you know that she truly has her heart in this.
Thank you Janise for helping me find my dress!!
Janise was absolutely the best. She knew what she was doing and provided the best input and made lovely suggestions. She was able to help make the decision on how I felt about a dr...
ess. And she would find literally the right veil for the dresses I tried on. I said yes to the dress here and had absolutely a magical time. And honestly Janise was a big part of it. I just want to say a big thank you to them for helping me find my dress.
In love with my dress and the photos! So happy with my choices and with all help with picking both my dress and veil! They were so patient with me! Thank you!
Jenise was an absolute gem! She was so knowledgeable and friendly throughout my shopping experience and really gave me the one-on-one attention I was looking for.
I also had the ...
pleasure of shopping with my sister-in-law back in 2019 and I'm looking forward to coming again with my best friend this summer to shop for her gown.
10/10 would recommend!

helpful, showing us some beautiful pieces and assisting with our decisions and questions. I love what we purchased, and got so many compliments on the pieces.
My appointment at La Vie en Blanc was an absolute dream. Jenice went above and beyond to help me find my perfect dress. She was authentically interested in understanding me, the st...
ory of my relationship, the feeling I wanted for my wedding, and my essence. With her help, I was able to find the most perfect dress I could ever imagine. She was infinitely patient in the process of narrowing down my options and did not at any moment rush me to make my final choice. Because of this safe environment I was able to feel confident and sure in my pick. I had my "say yes to the dress" moment--something I wasn't sure I was going to be able to arrive to considering my indecisive nature. I highly recommend this bridal salon to any bride who is looking for a nurturing, non-pressuring environment, an expert bridal guide, and a phenomenal selection of designer dresses at deep discounts. My dress retailed for $11,000 and I secured it at $5,000. Don't hesitate! Book here!!!
The best bridal shop in town! Varied selection of dresses, veils and accessoirs, in all styles, sizes and price points. The shop is warm and inviting inside. And most of all, the s...
hop owners are kind, love what they do, know how to help a bride find 'the one' and provide customer service with such grace and heart. It was such a treat to start my bridal season by coming to La Vie. They set me off on the right path from the start by showering me with so much love and positive energy. I tried on a handful of dresses in styles I thought I would like. Vivi took out a dress and veil that I wouldn't have picked myself, and invited me to try them on. The last styles I tried that day. I couldn't take off the dress. I kept twirling and twirling and I felt so beautiful inside and out. And it was under budget to boot. Truly can't say any more good things about La Vie. Please start your bridal journey here. - xo, Ana, one very happy bride and now Mrs.
I absolutely recommend La Vie En Blanc. As a mature bride, I was a little nervous and Vivi just made it so easy and listened to my do’s and dont’s. Thank you Vivi for making the en...
tire process such a lovely experience. I was fortunate to also meet Jenise. This is a dynamic duo! La Vie En Blanc is beyond a bridal shop, it’s an experience.
Absolutely love this salon!! Go if you want to feel like a true princess! I had purchased a wedding dress at pronovias and then got pregnant and had to get a new dress two weeks be...
fore my wedding. Jenise was an absolute angel. My experience here compared to the big name brand store was night and day. Here my appointment was over and hour and I was made to feel so special. I ended up finding my dream dress (I liked it even more than the first) can't recommend this salon enough!
My appointment was with Vivi (who is one of the 2 owners) and she was fabulous. Super helpful, great at helping me get into/out of dresses, very efficient and professional. She l...
istened to what I was looking for and even asked if I'd be willing to try a few things out of my comfort zone (I was), some of which ended up being top choices in the end. She listened about what I liked/disliked about each dress I tried on and would often return other dresses she had pulled or go pull new ones in response to those comments. I'm much larger now than I'd like (US street size 16/18) and they actually had a substantial number of dresses in a variety of styles and price points which fit and fit well. She never once pushed me to like a more expensive or smaller dress. In fact, when I mentioned I'd be willing/open to looking at things currently two or so sizes too small, she encouraged me not to get stuck there. Basically "if you lose 5 or 10 lbs, great - this dress can easily be taken in by [x,y,z]. But you should also keep in mind trying to find something that makes you love how you look now. There is already so much pressure in wedding planning, don't pressure yourself to have to lose in order to feel great on your wedding day!" That said, she was still willing to show them to me as options. The store is basically a sample showroom, so their inventory changes often. Current inventory ranged from discounted prices of ~8K down to ~$750, but I'd say ~60% or more were between 1-2K. I started by looking at $4K and below and ended up paying $1250 (retailed ~1800) for a new-with-tags dress I love which fits great even before alterations. Also, as someone who waited until ~4.5 months before my date to try on a single dress (due to COVID, my mom's health, moving, etc.), I really appreciate being able to walk out of the store with gown in hand.
All and all, Vivi and the store were a dream come true and I'm so glad I went to La Vie En Blanc for my wedding dress!
I had such a wonderful experience at La Vie en Blanc. Jenise was a joy to work with. She took her time with me, and was extremely patient. After trying on at least 12 dresses (some...
which were not my style - or so I thought), I said yes to the dress! A dress that Jenise recommended. I am overjoyed, and highly recommend this shop! The prices are amazing!
From the moment you walk in, the experience is lovely. Jenise and Viviana have all of their bridal gowns organized by price point which was so helpful in knowing where to look. The...
y are all off the rack designer brands with GREAT DISCOUNTED PRICES, which is an AMAZING way to find a beautiful dress. They gave me pins to place on the dresses I loved as I looked through. This was amazing that I was able to browse through everything myself as where I’d gone before they just chose for me. They also gave me great recommendations. After pulling out about 10 dresses, I tried them on! I tried so many and they were so patient and loving with me. They gave me the full experience of walking down the aisle with different veils so I could visualize myself on my wedding day. I thought I knew what I wanted but I finally tried on something so different to what I came looking for and FELT LIKE A TRUE BRIDE in my DREAM DRESS! That’s the exact feeling I was looking for! I’m so grateful for this Bridal Shop! It’s so amazing to get designer brand dresses for less! The only con was that it’s a smaller place and you can only bring 2 people with you, my zipper broke when I was trying it on a second time and they gave me a new one!
After unsuccessfully looking and not finding a wedding dress at three other stores, I was a bit hesitant coming in. Jen made the experience so smooth and amazing. I struggled findi...
ng dresses my size and I was surprised to find that not only did they carry my size in dresses but that they also had a variety! Jen took her time to listen to what I wanted even though I wasn’t really sure of the details myself. I only tried on three gowns before I found the one! I couldn’t be happier with how easy the experience was.
The best experience! I was a little nervous to begin shopping for my dress, but La Vie En Blanc made it a fun and stress-free appointment! Jenise was amazing to work with and reall...
y put me at ease from the beginning. The showroom is great and the attention to detail was incredible. Thank you so much for helping me find my dress!
Amazing service they make you feel at home! found exactly what I was looking for at such an amazing price! Very grateful for them!
Wow Jen and Viv are absolute queens! I wanna give a special thanks to Jen, I had a nightmare of a bridal emergency after my original vendor cancelled my dress but La Vie En Blanc s...
aved me so much stress. The customer service was fantastic, and Jen made it so easy and enjoyable to find my perfect dress in my budget— plus I like this one more than my original dress!! I would recommend them in a heartbeat— if you’re in the market for a fairly priced wedding dress don’t think twice of scheduling an appointment here!
After visiting a few corporate stores, I visited La Vie En Blac and said yes to the dress! The experience with Viviana was intimate, comfortable, and ultimately the best one at any...
store I've had. Definitely recommend to any bride searching for their special dress.
