Winnie Couture Flagship Salon Beverly Hills

aking. I knew right when I walked in that this was gonna be the place that I find the dress of my dreams and I was right! I couldn’t believe I found a dress so quickly…Winnie Couture is the place to go, if you don’t you are missing out!!

d so well, like a bride should be! Monika is awesome and she made sure she didn’t show me anything over my budget, she was very attentive and professional. Any time I went to Winnie, I felt very comfortable and Monika was always very welcoming and remembered me and my family. I never had a bad experience here. The seamstress they have on site is also amazing, I could not have been happier with the end result, I LOVE my dress!

tment was so much fun, I had the funniest, sweetest stylist. She had my family and I laughing the entire time…it was great! Besides that her knowledge of the product was great I enjoy things more when I know someone knows what they’re talking about. I felt comfortable around her to be 100% honest about how I felt about certain dresses on me and she also gave her honest opinion. I felt like she and I had been friends for so long we had an instant connection. I swear I felt like I was playing dress up at my appointment. It was great! Winnie Couture truly is an amazing place. I couldn’t imagine getting my dress someplace else Winnie Couture got me and I got the dress of my dreams 

n (Rochelle). There was NO pressure to buy, NO pressure spend more. Amanda never showed me anything over my budget, which I sincerely appreciated. She was also very discreet about the budget – they don’t make a big deal. My sister in law went to Kleinfelds and they were jerks, huffing over her budget telling her how small it was and what a challenge it would be. Not so at Winnie Couture. The only time they asked was on an info sheet and they never showed anything above that number. I felt appreciated and free to enjoy myself. I was VERY impressed with the price of the gowns here – they are INSANELY well priced. People were positive I paid over $10k for my ceremony dress (it isn’t even close to that). One great thing is that you are able to look at all the gowns and touch them; they are not in clear plastic wrap all sad looking. All the dresses are on display and they all have prices marked. Your guests can help you look, wander around the store, and pull dresses. It’s very, very fun and exactly how you picture wedding dress shopping will be. In addition – and this is something my bridesmaid pointed out – they have you in and out of dresses in seconds, which maximizes your time. My friend said it took her at least 20 mins to get from one dress to another. I was able to try on 6 dresses in that amount of time! I didn’t feel rushed and I was able to try on everything I wanted to. They don’t have an in-house tailor they make you go to, either, so you don’t have to pay crazy prices. They give you the info for a woman who is their ‘recommended’ tailor who has experience with their dresses, whom I did use. I just like that I had the option to go somewhere of MY choice and wasn’t forced to use an in-house tailor. In the end, I had a great experience, bought two dresses and have nothing but good things to say about this store. It’s a wonderful experience for any bride. Oh, and the best part – because they are constantly burning candles to make the store smell pretty – your dress actually smells pretty when you get it. I’m serious. My dresses smelled pretty!

for the 1st fitting to make sure everything and everyone was on the same page. Right away there were communication problems with the seamstress and her inability to understand how to to do the alterations due to a lack of understanding the construction of a couture dress....4 fittings later still not fitting appropriately and now we are out of time because my daughter has to take the dress to Palm Springs for her wedding with the dress still unwearable. Winnie Couture doesn't let you take the dress until you paid for your alterations even though it was going to require someone else to get the big job done and undo some mistakes in less than 3 days...fortunately we had someone who qualified and she worked on it up until the last few hours before my wedding. The dress was delivered by the new seamstress at the bridal suite @ 12:30 pm and I had to be in the dress at 2:00pm for photos. After four fittings with Winnie Couture and paying 400 plus dollars to them I'm now grateful to the new seamstress for staying up all Thursday night and working all day Friday, running over to see her for additional fittings and the added stress on me & my daughter, most importantly my daughter The Bride who was very stressed and just started thinking she should go by another inexpensive dress out of fear to solve the issues...the seamstress/dressmaker who is working against the clock to make my daughter's dream dress fit appropriately and make wearing it a reality, the additional $600.00 in alteration fees...basically the stress level took away from just loving her dress the way a bride should on her big day. We also paid extra money at the time of purchase to have the dress be a close fit upon ordering and arriving to the salon. Another thing, when the dress finally arrived 8 months after ordering my daughter asked if she could run over on her lunch hour to just look at it because she was so excited....they said no! You can't even look at it until it is completely paid for....so she had to wait for me to pay the balance before they would even show it to her! She didn't ask to take it without paying just look! As you can see the sale has taken place and the tone of the salon has changed. Most importantly is the distress of paying for and leaving the salon with a dress 3 days before your wedding that is unwearable...too much stress at that point for anyone to go through. When I called Amanda the manager's solution was to offer a 50% refund for the useless alterations...Her statement was "I never honor requests for refunds on alterations...this is the first in 3 years." I think that statement says it all...it's not that they don't get requests for refunds they just don't honor them. Buyer Beware...just say no to Winnie Couture for your peace of mind....or make sure to have a back up alterations expert handy....So as it turns out it cost us $1000.00 to get $400.00 of alterations accomplished.

"proud" areas on your body. Her dresses are fabulous at amazzzzzing affordable prices. The Beverly Hills dress boutique is very chic, yet intimate. From my experiences, the ladies who work there have been very courteous, kind, and professional. Lots of one-on-one, personalized attention where you don't feel rushed and in an assembly line! (Important) Outside of my photographer and DJ, my dress and overall look was the biggest investment I made at my wedding. I do not regret it for a second. I am proud to say... feel, and be able to look at my wedding pictures 30 years from now and say, " I was a Beautiful Hott Bride"! (not trying to being conceited), it's just the truth. Her dresses are lovely, and the material, color, and fit is lovelier!!! Thank you Winnie Couture :-)

d take a look. I walk in without an appointment, just tell the girls that I just want to take a look. I walk in the showroom and see so many amazing dresses, it was heaven! I then turn to a stylist and ask if would be possible to try them on and she was so sweet and booked me an appointment for that very second. I was starting to feel happy and excited again Winnie Couture was bringing me back to life. I quickly start choosing dresses for my stylist to pull so that I could them on. They have the most gorgeous dresses I have ever seen. I only try 2 on out of the many that I chose and I fall in love with the second one. Sarita was the one I chose, it was just so perfect it didn’t have that much going on but it was still so beautiful. Walking around in it in that stunning store was just an amazing experience. Winnie Couture is the best place for a bride to be. It’s an outstanding place very magical, you definitely feel like a princess in there, and they even treat you like a princess. Winnie Couture you save me!

re, as if each and every one of them was loved and pampered. A delicious fragrance wafted through the store, and everything was pretty and pink and fuzzy. And to top it off, the girls that worked there were all incredibly sweet and helpful and CONFIDENT that I would find what I was looking for. Especially Monika, who helped me from the beginning and was there for me every step of the way. She was there for every fitting, reassuring me when I would have anxiety (as I am sure all brides have) and promising me that my dress would be perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Winnie and their staff. The prices are also very reasonable. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You'll be glad you did.

nitely would have bought it here! I had to park a couple of blocks away, but that was a minor inconvenience. Gorgeous dresses, and really beautiful store!

his one, but that was my own fault. A few other notes: the dress was too long even though I paid to have it made to my height with 3" shoes. I then had to take it to a tailor to have it fixed. They paid for it which was great, but it was a bit inconvenient for me. Additionally, the three point bustle that I paid for in advance broke during the wedding. It wasn't the end of the world, but it was unfortunate. All in all, I think Winnie has high quality dresses for a fair price and is worth visiting when shopping for your dress.

innie Couture caught my attention the most. I still made appointments at few other places as well. I step into Winnie Couture feeling a little tense because I wanted to find that perfect dress. I guess I was stressing myself out. All that changed as soon as my very own personal bridal stylist walks over to me and introduces herself, her energy was lovely. She was so nice and caring got to know my family that was with me. She started off by giving us a tour of the boutique, I got to learn about the different collections she had a lot of knowledge and explained everything very well that I knew everything as soon as she was done. That made my search a lot easier. So right away I start choosing gowns, and they were stunning, the beading sparkled so beautifully. The designs were gorgeous they had everything to fit all shapes and sizes. Their silk collection came in this exquisite color diamond white which gorgeous. I had to have a silk gown. The cool thing about Winnie Couture is that if you like a dress that comes in satin you could have made in silk and they also customize your gown to give it a little touch of your own. That’s exactly what I did, I got the Breckyn in silk and I even had the back lowered. I was having so much fun that I wanted my bridal party that was with me to try on bridesmaid dresses on. I couldn’t believe I found dresses for them. We girls were ready. I had my gown and veil and they had their dresses. Winnie Couture couldn’t be more perfect. They have everything you need to complete your bridal party. They were definitely the first and last shop I visited. Thanks Winnie Couture you are the best!

re a perfect touch. Their customer service was also phenomenal I wasn’t pressured into anything my stylist wasn’t pushy, and definitely didn’t lie, if a dress didn’t look right she was honest, she was very helpful and sweet. She was also very accommodating to my party she was working with me to make sure I was taken care of but also made sure that my party was happy. I definitely felt a connection. Now let me say Winnie’s gowns are exquisite, I couldn’t believe how many gorgeous gowns were right in front of me. I definitely felt a little overwhelmed but with help of my wonderful stylist I chose the ones that would fit my style. My top 4 were the Takodah, Bianca, Xanthe and the reception dress Amira. I tried them all on over and over and over until I narrowed it down to 2. I purchased the Bianca and the Amira. I am so excited, I cant wait to wear them on my special day

dress. All of the dresses I chose to try on were between $1,800 and $2,000, and there were no problems with that - Amanda continued to bring me dresses in that price range. Plus I love that their each customization are "a la carte." Winnie Couture was the first bridal shop I went to, and I went back to purchase my dream dress after I visited a few other shops in Beverly Hills. Highly recommended! It has been pretty busy each time I've visited, so I would not recommend showing up without an appointment at all.

nd $4000. Um, I was trying on current season Vera Wangs at THE Vera Wang in Beverly Hills for $3300. Why would I settle for a Winnie Couture and pay MORE? Oh, and your salesmanship skills suck. Lots of thinly veiled fake flattery and high pressure tactics. No thanks, I'll take my money elsewhere

perfect dress.

l. I found my wedding gown on my first visit to the salon, and bought it the same day, as they were offering a discount on the gown. I paid extra for a custom fit and am glad that I did. Not only did my gown arrive early (it came in 4 months after ordering it), but it fit perfectly! I needed no further alterations. Amanda was helpful every time I called. She even allowed me to come in to try my gown on again about 2 weeks before my wedding day, just to make sure that it still fit well. I was dreading this part of wedding planning, but thanks to Winnie Couture I had a stress free time buying my wedding gown! Plus, I got the gown of my dreams at a very reasonable price.

y didn't charge me for resizing since they screwed up but they made the dress too big in the end and I was paranoid that the dress will go down during the wedding.

hat I had found on the Knot before I went on. Although none of the dresses I tried on were quite right for me, Amanda, the bridal stylist brought out another dress for me to try on and it was perfection. Although I thought I wanted a dress with pick ups Amanda thought I would look best in an A line silhouette and she was right. The minute I tried the dress on I loved it! It was a perfect combination of classic and ornate yet not over the top. My dress costs $2,400 out the door but similar dresses would easily run $6,000 from other designers. The staff was easy to work with throughout the entire process and very professional. My husband, who is really picky, loved the dress and my guests repeatedly commented that I looked like Cinderella. Thank you Winnie and thank you Amanda.
