Wine Country Bride Boutique

e the results even more memorable!

had 8 of my closest family members and friends come and help me find my perfect dress. The employees were so accommodating to all of us. All the ladies that work there are professional and helpful. The seamstress Natasha is also SO talented and helpful when the dress came and it was time to alter it. She gave us helpful tips and answered all our questions. We would highly WCB for a wonderful and personalized bridal salon experience! From start to finish!

ought my wedding dress and a gorgeous hairpiece which I used as a belt. I also had my dress and a second dancing dress altered at WCB. Alterations was lovely she did a great job and she was such a fun person. Overall had a great experience.

for the bridesmaids who weren't able to try the dresses on in person. This isn't the cheapest place to get a wedding gown, but the quality, service, and tailoring are so worth it. Wine Country Bridal has a professional staff, wide variety of gowns, and in-house tailoring. My dress and the bridesmaids' dresses fit perfectly, and looked beautiful. Thanks for helping make my wedding fantastic!

tion package (steaming, alterations credit, bridal bag) in place of the storage package and I still had my alterations done by Natasha at the new Wine Country Bride Boutique. The new building is smaller than the old but it just as beautiful! The ladies at the new store were so helpful and everyone worked hard to make the process smooth for me despite the tragedy of losing the old building. I highly recommend checking out the new boutique!

hat I liked either the top or bottom of. I couldn't find anything I was talking in love with. I started to get a little discouraged not finding my dream dress. I felt so bad because I had probably tried on 20 dresses. I saw Melissa talking to another consultant and thought she was upset. I apologized but in reality they were trying to see if they could think of a dress that was everything I wanted and more. We took a look through the he dresses one last time and I picked one I never thought I would buy. When I tried it on I was astounded I felt so gorgeous!! I felt like a bride. I walked out of the dressing room and all of a sudden my fiance and I's wedding song came on and I just knew this was the dress!! I am so thankful for everything g Melissa did for me to help find the dress of my dreams!! Thank you so much!!

this place to find that perfect dress!

sses (also purchased here). My only complaint is that their in house alterations were only on Saturdays, so I had to get mine done elsewhere.

at had not happened, I probably would have bought it the next day after my last appointment at another place, but it made me really not want to keep dealing with them. The other two places I went were very forthcoming with what was in stock to buy that day, or what shipping dates were for various options. In this case, no actual dates were given, just a vague statement that the dates (whatever they were) were changing at midnight so I wouldn't be able to get it in time if I waited until the next day. They supposedly have a lot in stock or otherwise available for shorter time frames, which is specifically why I wanted to go there, but the dresses I was shown all seemed to need a rush fee to make my date. I was also offered $100 off I purchased that day, but I found the dress at another shop online for $100 less to start with. This leads me to believe they just add $100 to their prices so they can make this "offer" while you're there... Other than the pushy closing tactics, the consultant was fine but not great. She did find a dress I loved in the end, but there were several dresses (and one veil) she brought out that really didn't seem like she was listening to what I wanted at all since they had details I specifically said I didn't like. The veils were brought out one at a time and it took her several minutes to get each one. It would have been much more helpful if she could have grabbed a few at once since they were apparently kept so far away. I actually gave up after the third because they either didn't have what I wanted or she didn't understand (I had tried one on at my previous dress appointment and loved it so I wanted to find something similar), and I didn't want to take more time. My final complaints are that the dresses are not in the dressing room - they pull them in one at a time from the hallway behind for you to try on - and there is no mirror in the dressing room. It would have saved some time and energy if I could have seen all the dresses she pulled at the beginning so I could start with my favorites and immediately narrow down what I liked and didn't like. I get that they probably see this as a more upscale way to do things, but it just wasn't practical and, as a result, I think I wasted too much time on gowns I wouldn't have even pulled from the initial selection if I had the chance. And there were a few I definitely wouldn't have bothered to show everyone in the waiting area if I had been able to see myself in them before leaving the dressing room. Since I couldn't, I had to go out in the main area and everyone else saw the dress on me before I did. The process could really be streamlined if they made those changes, but I still wouldn't recommend them to my friends unless I knew they weren't putting all that buying pressure on their customers any more.

the selection was pretty extensive, though no couture designers. I was very please with my experience there. Would absolutely recommend it.

en I found THE ONE she helped me find a payment option that fit my needs/budget. It's worth it to check out Wine Country Bride!

ime to help me understand the dress I was trying on at the moment, and to let me stay in it for a few minutes, just seeing how it felt. I did end up purchasing, and it was a great price (not to mention exactly what I was looking for!) My (now husband) and I did most of the planning ourselves, but WCB helped us find an officiant, DJ and florist with their Rewards program. Then we had a wedding emergency less than 3 months before our date: our venue was double booked! Wine Country Bride went to work, they found us a new site and got them to reduce their site fee for us, since it was an emergency. The new site was so beautiful, and we never would have found it if it wasn't for WCB. We also got tuxedos, my sisters dress and my moms dress, and we did all our alterations there too! I honestly have no idea what I would have done without this place. After our 1 year anniversary, I got my gown and veil preserved there, too.

ss was a "pink tag" dress which means they only had one of them so I got the price cut down a bit which helped. The bridesmaids did get a voucher for a certain amount of jewelry which was nice and I ended up picking them all out matching jewelry. All in all the service was great they still recognize my face when I walk in and My dresses were gorgeous!

o very good – she helped instruct my family about the bustle of the dress and made sure everyone understood how to do it. She even accommodated my when I was 20 minutes late to an appointment (I entered it incorrectly in my calendar). The dress, veil, and belt all looked stunning on me on my wedding day, and I was very satisfied with my purchase. For future improvement, I would recommend that clients are notified consistently of their appointments. I remember getting a reminder before purchasing my dress, but I got no reminders for my alteration appointments. I also would have liked them to be a bit more accommodating with my alterations appointments. I was not aware that the “first fitting” was just an opportunity to try on my dress – no alterations or measurements were taken at that time. I traveled from Los Angeles for every appointment so I could involve my family with the dress process (they live in Santa Rosa), and it was disappointing to make a trip and not have anything done to the dress.

t too much, not too expensive (I ended up spending $2,000 on the dress), and a top that could accommodate my very large chest... and for some reason, even though that sounds easy enough, I wasn't really finding it. Also, most places had small selections and only wanted to let me try one a few dresses at a time, and that was really frustrating, too. Anyway, Wine Country Bride helped me find The Dress, and it was wonderful. I looked and felt amazing on my wedding day, and the dress fit perfectly and looked just absolutely spectacular! The prices for their wedding dresses are reasonable and on par with other stores selling the same dresses (I checked!), and the service there is also fantastic. There are two down sides to getting your dress from there. One is that it's quite a drive from San Francisco proper -- Google tells you it's only an hour, but it takes more like 1.5-2 (in each direction). This isn't a big deal the first time, or the second time, but when you have to keep going back for fittings, it gets old. Also, the dresses are reasonably priced, but where they get you is the cost for alterations, shipping, etc. My dress was $2,000, but then with alterations and everything it ended up costing close to $4,000 at the end. I also bought my veil through them, so that contributed to the cost, but the veil was only around $200, so most of the cost was for the dress. On the other hand, though, the seamstress who did my alterations was incredible, and you won't find yourself in better hands for your wedding dress alterations (she actually specializes in wedding dress alterations, which is more unusual than it seems, because of all the complicated beading and layering and such that goes on with wedding dresses). Anyway, overall? Wonderful experience, would highly recommend!

rived earlier than they stated which was nice. The store also made it really easy to pick out accessories and try eveyrthing on together. My alterations were also done ahead of schedule and my dress fit perfectly!

ith her for a couple of months, trying on and ordering my dress. Then months later when my dress came in, she was gone so I was assigned a new consultant. This girl was not so great. When my dress arrived and I went to try it on for the first time with my family all excited, she pointed me to the dressing room and walked away. I asked, "aren't you going to help me?" She replied "oh you need help? ok." At this time another life changing event had happened, I was 4 months pregnant, unexpectedly. I was very anxious as I didn't know if my dress would fit and i still had 2 months to go. The consultant told me it probably wouldn't work but I could always buy a new dress. Excuse me?? I had already spent $1800 and just didn't have an extra $1800 lying around. I asked her to get her manager. The manager came in, reassured me the best she could and things were a bit better at this point. I took the dress home with me, 4 hours away. I found my own seamstress in town and the manager was great to work with at getting me extra material, lace, and tulle from the company and sent to my seamstress so I could still wear my perfect dress. It was overall a good experience except for the unprofessional, non-caring consultant.

ative when it came to the bridesmaid dresses. The alterations were very expensive, and my seamstress actually pointed out that there was some damage to the dress that was done before I bought it but was not factored in to the ultimate cost of the dress--otherwise I would have given five stars.
