This was my third bridal shop that I went to in San Diego. I went there specifically looking for Made with Love wedding dresses. The girls were so helpful and knowledgeable. I felt no pressure to make a decision. They pulled dresses that I wanted to try and pulled dresses based off of the things that I was saying while in other dresses. I could have spent an hour and a half in there (that is the only thing I would change), but I found my dress! I couldn't be more satisfied! They also explained to me that their alterations expert was their go to seamstress and was very familiar with their dresses. I felt at ease knowing that. I can't wait to get my dress and see it on. Lovely is defiantly a low pressure salon and not overwhelming what so ever!
I found my dress here!! What a great shopping experience I had. After booking your appointment the company will send emails to help you prepare and get you hyped for your appointment. Their dress selection is all so good! Great variety per your budget and style. I had shopped with Delaney and she is amazing! Was easy to talk to, very thorough in getting to understand your style and budget.
Had a great experience finding my dress !!!
I found my dress at Lovely thanks to Nicole! She was super helpful and made me feel so comfortable through the whole process. She listened to what I was looking for and what I was liking and needed up pulling a fantastic dress that I hadn’t considered before. She was also so sweet and genuinely got excited for me as I made my dress decision.
The process was low pressure at Lovely where other bridal salons made me feel more rushed and pressured to make a decision.
I had such a wonderful experience at Lovely Bride. Nicole was so kind, helpful, and accommodating. She made find my wedding dress such an easy and special moment. Highly recommend this bridal shop.
I found my dream dress and loved every single moment of my experience at lovely bride thanks to Nicole!! She made me feel so comfortable and is literally the clip QUEEN.
I went to other places after my first visit and nobody could get a dress to fit me like she could. This makes such a huge difference so you can see what it will actually look like in your size!! Thank you thank you 💛💛
I could not recommend Lovely Bride more! Nicole was an absolute dream to work with. She was incredibly sweet and kind, and made me feel so comfortable both times that I went to the store (the first time with my best friend and the second time with my mom). Besides Nicole's amazing services, the store is so adorable and has an amazing selection of gorgeous dresses. I was 99.9% I found "the one" my first time at the shop, and it only sealed the deal when my mom was able to join me for the second time! I'm so excited to wear my dream dress, thank you Nicole and Lovely Bride!
I went to three bridal salons and Lovely Bride was my favorite! Nicole was so sweet, bubbly, and fun and made the experience so great for me and for my bridesmaids. They had a great selection of dresses and I loved that we had the whole bridal salon to ourselves. Highly recommend!
What an incredible experience we had at Lovely Bride! My best friend and I are both getting married next year and really wanted to be able to dress shop together. We have very different styles and Lovely Bride was her first shop and boy are we grateful for it.
We were lucky enough to get the owner as our stylist, and her wealth of knowledge and bubbly personality gave us so much confidence and comfort throughout our visit. She took the time to walk us through all of the lovely dresses she had in the shop, offered suggestions and then helped us into dresses together. We had so much fun hanging out! We were so comfortable with her, and appreciated her honest feedback and guidance on trying dresses that maybe were not exactly what we wanted but pointed us in the right direction.
After visiting Klienfeld, BHLDN (twice), and Grace Loves Lace (twice), Lovely Bride was by far the best experience and worth the visit. I found a dress I absolutely loved and ended up purchasing from the shop, and will be recommending Lovely Bride to all of my friends!
I came down from LA after having a specific wedding gown designer in mind that LBSD offered in their boutique. Despite COVID and masks (they’re very safe!), I was able to say yes to my dress there! They were able to accommodate my mom and cousin which was nice because the other 2 salons only allowed for 1 guest. Thank you LBSD for such a great experience!
WOW! The best experience I have had trying on dresses, and of course I said yes! After leaving every bridal appointment I made disappointed by their customer service and over all experience, LovelySD made up for ALL of it! I was able to bring my mom and dad, and toast me saying “YES” with champagne we brought. Thank you for providing us with some JOY during these crazy times. I would highly recommend booking an appointment, I had the store to myself and was out within an hour!
