The White Dress

Amazing! The most beautiful dresses ever in a bright, nice salon with plenty of room for your family and friends. Kelsey was out gal and she was so lovely and really respectful of budget. She wasn’t pushy at all and she was the one who picked the winner. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience!! I cannot say enough about this place! The White Dress has a beautiful and vast/diverse selection of dresses, and the glamorous ambiance set the tone for an amazing shopping experience – more than I could have asked for. The owners are wonderful and their staff played an instrumental role in helping me find my dream dress. Highly recommend!

I just purchased my wedding dress here on 12/8/2017 and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The consultants are all so friendly and patient! I did not have the biggest budget and they didn't treat me any differently than any other bride. They were able to help me find my dream dress in my exact price point. I was so happy with the level of service I experienced, I would highly recommend any bride go there!!

The selection at The White Dress is amazing. Every dress I saw was gorgeous and well-made, even if some wasn't my personal style. Unlike certain other stores, you won't be forced to sort through a bunch of low quality gowns. There's also something for almost every price point - there's the sample sale for some real steals, the trunk shows for gems at a reduced price, a TON of gorgeous dresses in the $2000-5000 range, and all the $6000+ couture you could want if you have that sort of budget. The sales people are also really helpful in pointing you toward gowns in your price range - Sheina was awesome! I ended up choosing the Velda gown by Atelier Pronovias. (I highly, highly recommend Pronovias for the modern bride.) The store then popped open some champagne for my bridesmaids (and cider for my pregnant MoH) to celebrate my purchase. They also have this really cute tradition where you initial (or draw something) on a cork, and then put the cork into one of the large clear jars with corks from all the brides who have purchased dresses at The White Dress over the past 14 years. It's great to feel part of that tradition. :) The accessories are also fantastic. I set up an appointment with one of their jewelry designers and found the perfect choker to suit my dress. Since she brought sample pieces (and I requested customization), I have some time before I get to pick up my choker, but I cannot wait! One thing you should know - The White Dress doesn't do in-house alterations, although they do have a list of unaffiliated recommended tailors. Not sure if that is good or bad, but it is nice knowing that you won't be encouraged to get a needlessly larger size or anything. (That said, upon Sheina's GOOD advice, I opted for a size that was big on the bust/waist to leave room for my larger-sized hips. I've heard of other dress sellers asking brides if they plan to lose weight. Yay body positivity!)

I cannot say enough great things about The White Dress. I am from New York City and recently moved to Newport Beach. I had been to over 8 of the top dress stores in Manhattan (including Kleinfields) and none come even remotely close to The White Dress in terms of selection, service and quality of gowns. While the entire staff of women are wonderful, I highly recommend Nancy! Being so new, I don't have much in terms of family and friends around, but Nancy was my 'stand in' girlfriend/sister/mom. Nancy was incredibly patient, enthusiastic and never made me feel pressured - she provides a genuine care that she wants you to feel your best on your wedding day. I am so happy I found The White Dress as the place to say "YES" to the dress. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This is the only wedding dress shop I went into because I knew it was the only one I would need! Not only did I find my absolute dream Ines Di Santo dress for my ceremony, but I got a second Pronovias gown for my reception. Thank you to The White Dress for making my lacey, sparkling, wedding day dreams come true!!

I can't say enough good things about this place! I was hesitant to go to a shop in CDM with a budget of ~$1500 but once I walked in and met Emily (seriously, request her!) she made me feel so comfortable and found SO many dresses within my budget. She also picked up on things I liked right away and made this process easy and an absolute blast! The shop is gorgeous and they have a fun tradition with the champagne cork when you find your dress :) I will be returning to purchase bridesmaid dresses from here as well.

I had such a wonderful time picking out my dress here. I picked out a handful at first, but wasn't loving anything. After seeing what I was liking and disliking, the sales associate said "I know exactly which designer and which dress to pick." And that was the one I picked! They popped champagne and let us take photos. It was a wonderful experience.

My group and I all loved TWD! It was my first time trying on dresses and I'm so glad I started and ended my dress shopping hunt there! My consultant was great and handled my large group well. After I found a few dresses I liked I asked her to pull a few and the last dress she pulled was "the one"! I also appreciated the owner taking time to congratulate me on finding my dress. Highly recommend TWD!

This was the first place I went to for my dress, and I was very nervous. However, they made me feel at home right away and helped me in anyway possible for me to find my perfect dress. The staff was wonderful, and so was the owner. She put up with my long phone calls and questions! I can't wait for my first fitting :) I found my perfect dress, and I couldn't be happier.

If you go to this shop you have to request Nancy as a consultant! She made my dress shopping experience great. I was at the lower end of a dress budget for this shop and never once did I feel out of place here. Nancy picked out perfect dresses for my body shape and never got dresses out of my budget. Also I had to go back 3 times to finally say "yes" to the dress and I never felt pressured to purchase right away. And when you do say "yes" they pop a bottle of champagne! They also have beautiful accessories here, but watch out they are pricey!

I purchased my dress, veil and headpiece from Leia at The White Dress. I went on a weekday, so it was a fun, quiet and relaxing appointment where Leia helped me find my perfect dress! She was so friendly and sweet, and the staff was very flexible and accommodating. The custom headpiece/barrette I bought there was gorgeous, but it was a bit different shape-wise than the one I tried on. I understand that is because everything is custom-made, but it worked out just fine in the end. This shop does not offer alterations in-house, but they gave me recommendations in LA where I live, which was helpful. The dresses and accessories are very classic and vintage in style. Highly recommend to schedule an appointment there, even just to get the boutique experience when you're trying on wedding gowns. They also gave us champagne when I officially decided to purchase my dress there. Was a nice moment!

I live in California but my mom is in the Midwest. She wanted to go dress shopping with me, but kept delaying her trip out. I started to panick that I needed to order it so I got it in time for the wedding. I went with my sister to start looking. I fell in love with a dress that day and decided to purchase it. I told the lady helping me that I had to bring my mom here and if she could pretend I didn't purchase it yet, so as not to hurt my moms feelings. She did an oscar worthy performance. My mom felt like she was there picking out my dress and got teary eyed. The sales lady thru in I couldn't buy anything until my mom showed up. Luckily my mom liked the dress I had already purchased. It was a very pleansant experience and they were very accommodating. I also got my Bridesmaid dresses there. The girls loved their dresses and the process was seamless.

I was very thankful for the patience of the sales consultant allowing me to try on the dress numerous times before I picked it out. I will say that they strongly encouraged if not insisted that me and my bridesmaids err on the side of much bigger on the size of our dresses. I understand having room but my dress was at least 2 sizes too big. The problem is causes was a disproportionate torso length in the dress which had to be completely taken apart by my expert tailor. Also I was told I had to "rush" order the dress for $250 or the dress would arrive 3 months later, within 2 weeks of my wedding. So of course I rushed it…however the dress arrived 2 weeks later which made me feel like I really didn't need to rush it.

Came here after a nightmare fitting somewhere else and was amazed at the level of service. I had 8 people with me so they put us in the bridesmaid lounge with really cute couches and mirrors. My personal stylist actually picked out my dress and stayed within my budget. It was everything I was looking for and more. My whole party started crying and nodding their head yes! Once we found it they popped some champagne. It was the perfect experience. Once I received my dress it fit so well all I needed to alter was the length.

I found my dream dress that had been in the back of my mind for years at the White Dress with my dear sorority sister who was in town. Since my mom wasn't coming into town until a month after, the staff let me wait to do my signing ceremony until she came in town! So it was like we got to have the fun experience of finding the dress twice. They seemed to have a large selection although I went there with a particular dress in mind. Leah was my consultant (so sweet and has a great eye) and Carrie was the person who I remained in contact with to pick it up, get the buttons made, etc. The whole store was so detail and customer service oriented. I loved working with them and would recommend them to any future bride or bridesmaid :)

I was not sure what kind of dress I wanted to wear on the day and the woman who helped me narrowed it down in the first 3 dresses. I actually ended up choosing the 3rd dress I tried on! They have a great selection of very nice dresses. Nothing felt cheap like a lot of other places we visited. Only downside is that they do not offer in house tailoring.

They were great. I was intimidated to go in there. I thought everything would be out of my price range but I found an unbelievable dress in my price range!

I loved my dress. Can't say it enough. Beautiful elegant selections that I felt were not seen elsewhere. My only other thoughts was that I wish there had been some more communication between shop and us about progress of dress. For instance, we had to call and inquire about status of dress, only to find out it was behind schedule. Though everything was fine, and the store stayed open later for us to pick it up, more communication is always a great thing.

I got my wedding dress here and they were so helpful to calm my nerves and serve each necessity that I had. I was so nervous considering I had went a few other places and had terrible experiences. I was so happy with the service I received and my dress was everything I ever wanted. Thank you so much!

I had originally gone to David's Bridal and was not impressed. The people were nice but were with two brides each and the dresses gave me no shape (and I'm naturally curvy). When I got to The White Dress it was a completely different experience. My mom and I worked with Nancy Armijo who was so sweet and listened to everything I wanted in my dress. She pulled plenty of dresses in and around our budget. Every dress I put on looked amazing and the ones I wasn't really feeling, she took me out of immediately. I felt so comfortable there and ended up finding my dress for just slightly over my budget (totally worth it). It was the experience that every bride wants when trying to find her perfect gown!

Like a lot of women, I was very nervous about trying on wedding dresses. I even put it off for a whole year. But I had an amazing experience at this salon. I was so surprised to find that I had actual OPTIONS. My consultant was Renee and she was amazing. She's also an accessories designer and designed the belt I work with my dress and she switched out the chain for my necklace. Everything turned out great and I have encouraged all of my girlfriends to go here when their special day comes.

This store is a small little boutique with not a huge selection but you only need to like one right? The people at the store were very nice and helped fit my budget. My only complaint is that they made it sound like the alterations were going to be simple and it ended up taking an incredible amount of work to do all of the alterations that I was not expecting. The dress arrived even earlier than expected and the whole experience was a joy.

I wasn't sure what to expect wedding dress shopping but from the minute I called and stepped into The White Dress all the girls were so nice and helpful! They made me feel so special and really understood what I was looking for. They only showed me dresses within my budget which was great. I loved everything there so much I got all my accessories and bridesmaids dresses there too!

I had to find a dress right away because I only had six weeks until my destination wedding. I called and was able to make a same day appointment. When I arrived, they took my size, asked me about the color and style I wanted and pulled some dresses for me to try. The first dress was MY DRESS! They gave me an awesome discount for buying the sample. The ladies at The White Dress are awesome and the designer, Renee, added some embellishments to the gown to make it amazing!!!!

I came into the White Dress with my family and looked through dresses and tried them on and ultimately got my perfect wedding dress from here. They couldnt have been more accommodating! I lived 2 hours away so they let me know when my dress would be in so I could make arrangements to go get it. Nancy was so sweet and helped me so much, she was a real sweetheart! Great place to look for and find a wedding dress!

This place is wonderful! It was a beautiful, clean, elegant store. I had looked at a couple other boutiques and they didn't have their dresses bagged in plastic--just so tacky. The dresses were all hung on satin hangers. The little details were nice. My dress consultant knew what I wanted with the explanation I gave her, I tried on a total of 3 before I found the dress! (That never happens! or so I thought). It fit so well when I finally got it ordered, all I needed was a bustle and hem! So that saved me on alterations.

Loved my gown. They are the best boutique around with tip top service. My sister also found her gown here.

I was very excited to go to the white dress and actually ended up buying my dress here. The sales lady was somewhat attentive while I was trying on the dress but often distracted too because they have a lot of people inside the shop. The reason why I ended up going with my dress was because the designed rep was there to help me (Amsale). I loved my dress but when it arrived and I went to try it on, the sales person was not helpful and disappointing. It was supposed to be a special moment when you try on your dress for the first time and I thought her distractions took away from this moment. I would say good dresses, but not so good service. I felt like once I bought the dress, I was no longer worth the effort and time. This took away from the "wedding" excitement.

I had a wonderful experience here at the White Dress! It was the very first place I went to try on wedding dresses as a bride-to-be, but I have been to many other bridal salons being a member of the wedding party. My consultant was Leah and she was absolutely wonderful! She took a look at some of the pictures I had brought in and we talked about my budget and then she had me pick out some dresses as well as some dresses she thought would look good on me. Lo and behold I fell madly in love with the 2nd dress I tried on. I still wanted to try on the rest of the dresses just to be sure and I had probably 12 of them! Leah was so patient with me and was just the sweetest lady to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and unrushed so I could truly enjoy the moment. And luckily, the dress that I had fallen for was a sample that was for sale! My only minor complaint is that they told me there were very few problems with the sample, and once I took it to a seamstress to get it altered she found a lot of structural issues in the dress that were never mentioned. But in retrospect it turned out ok because everything was fixable, I just wish I had been given more of a heads up. Overall though I had a great experience with this store and would recommend any bride to stop by and check it out.

I loved this store, it was the first and only store that I visited! The selection was amazing, and the staff helpful. I've sent so many of my friends there, it was honestly a great experience.

I ADORED this place! Nancy assisted me from start to finish. She was funny and sweet and made a sometimes-frustrating process easy and enjoyable. I found my perfect dress here and the entire process was simple and easy. When you say "yes" to your dress, they toast you with champagne and then have you write your wedding date on the cork. Then they ask you to make a wish on the cork and drop it into one of the various vases in the store. I loved the idea of my happy wishes joining the happy wishes of other brides. What a lovely way to celebrate the choosing of THE dress! I strongly recommend these folks! Thanks, Nancy!

I bought my dress the month after I got engaged, 11 months before my wedding. My mom and I decided to go to our neighborhood bridal salon, The White Dress to celebrate the new engagement. Andrea was our sales associate, she was great! Calm, friendly, bubbly and so helpful!! The store has the most beautiful gowns, and just the right number so as not to feel overwhelmed. I tried on 8 - 10 dresses that day and was very excited about 3 of them and ended up falling in love with one of them and getting it! Andrea helped make sure we stayed in our budget and as I was choosing my dress she had me go through the store again and make sure I hadn't missed anything. She was fabulous! My mom also went to the White Dress to purchase her Mother of the Bride dress and had equally wonderful success! They sized us perfectly and neither of us needed any alterations (and we aren't teeny tiny either). I heard from many people that my dress was the most beautiful. And having my dress 9 months ahead of the ceremony I had plenty of time to look at other dresses online and second guess myself... every time I looked online, my dress always won :)

A few things first... I am not a tiny girl and I never thought I would have a great experience in a small bridal shop, let alone one in Corona Del Mar. So after a horrible experience at David's Bridal where they made me feel fatter and uglier I took a long break from trying on dresses. My future mother-in-law was very encouraging and we found The White Dress. They never once asked my size. They never said mentioned plus-size or that they would have a hard time finding a dress for me. Instead, they had the dress I adored in my EXACT size, which was the first one I tried on of course. But it didn't end there. The amazing staff brought dress after dress for me to try on, all of which made me feel amazing and beautiful. They were so friendly towards me and even my 1 year old who was wandering around the store the entire time. Not only did I order my dress from them but it was affordable, came quickly, and was designer!

I highly recommend going to this boutique. No need to go anywhere else. I guarantee that you will find your dream dress in this boutique. The staff is phenomenal and have such a keen eye to know what dresses fit your frame perfectly but they also listen well to help find the perfect dress in no time. I worked with Carrie Casper there who was a HUGE help and also made the experience enjoyable. I also got my bridesmaid's dresses there which turned out better than I imagined and are high quality. They also bring you champagne to celebrate when you find "your dress".

The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, not pushy but more accommodating. Only downfall is no instore seamstress. Had to go else where for alterations.

Got my dress and all my bridesmaid dresses here! Andrea was a HUGE help but all the ladies were really helpful also! LOVE IT!

I had a great experience dress shopping here. The gowns are gorgeous and the staff is very friendly. And best of all, I found my dress and celebrated with champagne!

Found the perfect dress!!

I was beyond disappointed with my experience at The White Dress. The team there treated me like a second class citizen because my "budget" was not to their liking. No one wants to feel like they are receiving poor service when they are about to spend thousands of dollars. I would definitely skip the White Dress on your wedding dress search.

I bought my dress, veil, hair accessory, bridesmaid dresses, and mother of the bride dress here!

Not only did I find my dream dress during the first visit to The White Dress in Corona Del Mar, but I went back for the bridal party attire, hair and sash accessories and custom jewelry as well. My older sister found her wedding dress at this boutique 2 years ago and have known 3 others that have found their dream dress after that. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. The store has class and you are actually treated with class, not too stuffy or snobby. I am going to send all of my girlfriends to The White Dress when it's their turn to play the bride...you can't go wrong!

Cute little boutique. Has a great selection of dresses and friendly staff. They were efficient and my dress came super fast. I am very pleased with my dress and appreciate all their help.

We highly recommend The White Dress!! We purchased the wedding dress and all the bridesmaid dresses here. They could not be more helpful! I had called a number of shops and let them know that we had a short time to put the wedding together and that the bride was away at college for most of the time; all of the shops said they couldn't help and that we indeed had a problem. I called The White Dress and I explained what was happening and they said, "We are here to make things easy for you, what can we do? Can you come in today?" LOVE THEM!! Then one of the bridesmaids ended up not able to travel and they were able to get a dress for the friend that stepped in with just 3 weeks to the wedding! Like I said, they are amazing!!!!

I absolutely loved my experience at The White Dress. The bridal consultants are friendly, know the merchandise, and are devoted to their brides. My dress arrived on time, was affordable, and in pristine condition. I recommend them to everyone! Thank you White Dress!

The White Dress is a beautiful, intimate dress shop. It is bright, clean, and they have gorgeous dresses. They carry Vera Wang and Amsale (my dream gowns that were unfortunately out of my budget) so before we went, my mom was worried it would be a Pretty Woman moment, and we wouldn't find anything! Boy were we wrong! The girls working there were wonderful. They were so sweet and helpful, and did not seemed concerned with my under $2000 dollar budget. In fact, when it came down to 2 dresses, my salesgirl said "if you love the 2 equally, there is no reason to spend another 1000 dollars, go for the cheaper one!" I ended up buying a beautiful gown for under $1000!

Yes, I was one of those brides who got her dress on the first visit to the first salon and picked only the 2nd dress I tried on. With that said, I think it was more because of serendipity than impulse and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of everything. The whole day was absolutely perfect from the moment me, my sisters and my mom stepped into the adorable boutique. The White Dress just makes you feel special and like a bride should feel. The girls are all so sweet, do not pressure sell at all and were completely respectful of budget. Celebrating with champagne once I said yes to the dress was so memorable too. I have to say my favorite part of my dress was a custom made sash that I found there too. Definitely check out the accessories they have! My mom also got me some gorgeous earings too. The whole experience was just perfect and I would highly recommend the white dress to anyone who is willing to splurge just a bit. The only downfall is that they don't do in house tailoring but go see Gabriel down the street and you'll be good to go!

Great service. No pressure. Make the purchase a special event.

Great service and great dresses. I was so so so pleased!

I tried on over 100 dresses during my whole finding process, travelling to 8 different stores. The White Dress's selection included dresses from designer's shops I had visited independently, and The White Dress had a couple more frocks available there than at the designer's shop! The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. When I finally found my wedding dress, we heard the champagne cork pop & they brought bubbly straight away to me and my maid of honor! It added even more to a such a special memory in my life. I'm honestly going to miss going into this shop and seeing all the gorgeous goodies they have.

I went to The White Dress to begin my search for the perfect gown and ended up finding it within 30 minutes! The ladies were very sweet and helpful, but became very pushy when it came down to the purchase. They tried to get me to purchase the dress on the spot, telling me that "it's a great deal and I can only give you the discount if you purchase it today". They wanted $3950 for the dress and I wasn't able to try it on in my size (they only had a size 4)- I had to buy it first in order to try it on...I don't think so. I went home and found the exact dress online, in my size, for half the price and I was able to try it on and send it back if it didn't fit, so I bought it and it was PERFECT! Pros of The White Dress: they helped me find my dress Cons: they were VERY pushy when it came time to make the sale. Huge turn off.

I really adored my dress from The White Dress. The staff is so accommodating and they really make the day very special for the bride. The shop is definitely full of stunning designer gowns, so if your budget allows, this place is wonderful.

They are completely willing to work with you & your budget! Plus, they were all so nice and excited for all the ladies that come through.

I received great service at the White Dress. They had a wonderful selection of gowns - I could have purchased any one of them. I was able to try on as many dresses as I wanted, they spent a lot of time with me and made the experience fun!

I thought living in Los Angeles my options for a cute wedding dress boutique would be fairly easy, however it wasn't as easy as I had thought it would be. I went to 5 dress shops before visiting The White Dress. The shop is really cute, well maintained, and the Bridal Stylists were very friendly. I fell in love with a dress that was out of my budget, but was able to get a good deal b/c they sold me the sample of the dress. The dress had only been in the store for 3 months and was in excellent condition. I was the last appointment of the day, but at no time did we feel rushed. After the decision was made they popped a bottle of champagne and gave me the cork to write our initials and wedding date down as a token of the big purchase. The only drawback was that that the shop does not do any alterations so you have to find your own person to complete the alterations, however they do give a list of recommendations to you. My stylist was extremely helpful, but I was a little disappointed that I never heard back from her with a thank you for my purchase or to follow up with me to see if I needed any other items (shoes, jewelry, hair accessories, etc).

I spent $5000.00 for a couture bridal gown at the White Dress. They ordered the dress too large and said that it had to be altered. They do not do alterations so the blame is put on the alterations person. The alterations person did their best but it did not look like the sample gown I fell in love with. I had no time to get another gown before the wedding so I had to wear that ugly dress. Bottom line, do not purchase your gown from a store that does not do their own alterations.

I ended up purchasing a sample dress from this store for my wedding. Everything went fine with my wedding dress. The 2 out of the 3 bridesmaid dresses were fine. The third one had to be returned due to the fabric being damaged. I didn't realize it until I had the dress at home. When I contacted them later, they had me bring the dress back so they could return it. A new dress arrived in time for the wedding.

The day of my appt, my MOH & I had a great time shopping. They had a large selection of upper end dresses and the sales staff was just SUPER helpful. I found my dress there and they popped champagne. I liked shopping there so much that I made another appt to come back for BM dresses. We ended up buying 4 Melissa Sweet BM dresses and a Lynn Lugo dress for my mom. Unfortunately the fun stopped there. Once they had our money (BM & moms dress they charged in full when ordered & 50% on mine) it was a nightmare. ETA's changed by weeks without notice. A rush fee was paid on a BM dress yet that dress showed up two weeks late with the rest of the dresses. No refund on rush fee although its obvious it wasnt placed. I never received the swatch I ordered. But the worst was the follow up with my wedding dress. Several times in the 3 weeks after the ETA I contacted them for status only to have them tell me they were waiting on an email response from the designer. Finally, two weeks prior to my wedding I insisted that they call, not email, and provide me with a tracking #. only to track it and see that it was scheduled to ship that day from NY to the west coast, standard ground. My wedding dress arrived 10 days before my wedding. I was appalled at their follow up service. In the end I loved all of our dresses but I would have definetly bought them somewhere else. Thats just too much money to spend with no customer service to follow.

This was the first dress boutique that I visited when looking for a dress and I found the dress I loved. They had an amazing upscale selection and the staff was very nice. I purchased my dress and they gave me champagne and we celebrated. Six months later when my dress arrived I visited the store again to pick it up (They do not do alterations). They put my dress in the dressing room and left it for me to step into and close on my own. This could have been a wondeful experience, but instead I was really upset that I had spent so much money at this place that no longer cared about me.
