Chic Bohëmian Bride — Local services in Glendale

I think this was the 11th bridal shop I went to, and it’s where I found my dress!! There is a beautiful and unique selection of reasonably priced dresses here. My dress plus the overskirt and custom modification was like 1/5 of the price of some others I tried on, but if there were any differences in quality, I couldn’t tell.

Speaking of custom modifications: Paulette took the time to look at multiple Pinterest pictures of how I wanted the straps. She made suggestions that I wouldn’t have thought of (like, maybe I don’t want solid straps with a sheer back, and maybe if the straps are rounded in the front, they should be in the back) and was so so patient. She found another dress with similar straps, made a pattern, and custom measured it to me.

It was a lovely, personal, peaceful experience with zero hard sell. (Can’t say the same about every dress shop.)

Oh, and I felt very comfortable. I’m several sizes larger than the sample size lol, but Paulette was easily able to adjust for that without making me feel it. I was nervous about that, but it was literally a non-issue.

Finally, my style is not bohemian at all. If you’re looking for that, you will find it here, but if you’re not, don’t let the name deter you. My dress is full sequin, beaded, large poofy removable overskirt, and more Hollywood/glamorous...

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paulette and Luis and their store. I came in the week after I got engaged, thinking I would just take a look around, but tried on four dresses and fell in love with the last one. All the gowns are very reasonably priced and Paulette and Luis provided a lovely environment for my guests and I. My only disappointment is that I only get to go through the wedding dress purchase process once - they are a delight to work with. They also were very helpful when I was looking for a veil. Paulette's gorgeous beaded floral headpieces are also on display everywhere and perfect for a number of special occasions. I cannot wait for my wedding day and all the beautiful pieces which Paulette and Luis...

Although I did not end up buying my wedding dress from here, I LOVED my visit. We were offered water and cookies upon arriving for our visit and chatted about what I was looking for. We had so much fun and I felt so welcomed and comfortable. They were the first bridal shop I visited throughout my wedding planning process and I cannot recommend them enough. The dresses are beautiful and reasonably priced and the people who work here are just the sweetest. They took the time to really help me into the dresses that I was envisioning and this was definitely the most memorable of experiences I have had in any bridal shop.

I highly recommend making an appointment and visiting this cute little shop. It was a...
