The worst bridal shop!!! Don’t even waste your time or gas making it to this shop. I drove all the way from San Diego (during peek traffic hours) because I found on their website that they carry modest dresses, which it’s a small selections in California. My friend and I researched and decided to make the trek up to this shop. This was my first bridal shop to try on dresses. I wasn’t sure what my style was, didn’t have a set budget, and I was getting married soon (which I would need off the rack), and I wasn’t sure about purchasing on that date. Andrea was the gal to help me try on dresses, but it was the worse experience of my life there. I had so much anxiety, she made me feel like I shouldn’t have come and that I shouldn’t waste my time looking. Her comments were so harsh and she didn’t care. She started showing me dresses (which weren’t modest ones) and I wasn’t liking the selection. I said, “I like lace” and then her snobby remark under her breathe was “of course you like lace, it’s expensive” my reaction is like, “Ok?? That was rude.” Then I later stopped her to ask, “do you have dresses that have sleeves?” And her comment back was, “what do sleeves mean to you?” WHAT??!!! Why does it matter what sleeves me to me? I just want sleeves. I then had to disclose my religious reasoning. And she said, “why didn’t you say that before?” In a tone like I’ve been wasting a good 2 minutes looking at dresses. But it’s like I don’t walk into a store and say hey this is my religion! Plus it doesn’t matter, I just wanted sleeves!!!!!! Then it was time to try on. She gave me a moment to get ready for her to help me. I put on a slip, just in case anything was see through, I could at least know where to alter it. Andrea walked in and said, “what is that?” With a snobby tone. I responded, “it’s a slip” she said, “why are you wearing that?” Again with a snobby tone. It’s like why do I have to explain myself to you. We tried the first dress on and it was so tight. I couldn’t breath! Literally it was hard for me to breathe! I understand if someone gives a funny comment like “oh you don’t need to breathe on your wedding day, haha” NOPE not her! It was a tone of, you need to suck it up and she said “you don’t need to breathe!” She said that 3 times and I finally said “I have asthma I need to breathe” Another dress we put on I wasn’t sure about it but I was willing to try on anything. It can look weird on a hanger but it might look great on you or other way around. But in the dressing room, I couldn’t see the bottom of the dress because they only give a mirror that cuts off to your waist, so of course you can’t see the bottom. I walked out of the dressing room and could fully see this dress and I didn’t like the bottom. The lace looked like a table clothes. Andrea wasn’t asking anything, other than “do you like it?” My friend was the one asking me what I like about it, what does it need more of, what do I not like, what would I change, etc. Andrea on the other hand just wanted to hurry up and get me out of it (cause the store was sooooo busy....it was only us there) I wasn’t sure about a veil, but Andrea didn’t care. She said “a veil goes with all dresses and I should wear one., since it looks better in pictures” Andrea was even giving my friend a hard time and not listening to her. The whole experience at this bridal shop was awful! I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone!!! Yes, the shop looks clean, laid out well, but customer service ESPECIALLY from Andrea, was terrible. Don’t waste you’re time! I finally found a dress and it was off the rack, but from a BETTER bridal shop that actually cared about what I said, didn’t have to ask me stupid questions like “what do sleeves mean to me”, and I was able to really look at the dress and think about it, and it WASN’T...

Read moreIt's been 3 months now that my husband and I are married but I remember clearly the day we were finally brought as man and wife! I couldn't have enjoyed this day if it wasn't for the beautiful dress I got at Ann's classic affairs! The first wedding dress store I went to was this one and I was so nervous! I had meager student income and I couldn't afford the dresses I saw online or on TV, so I imagined myself in a bed sheet made as a dress! I was desperate for something beautiful but I didn't want to spend as much. However, once I got to Ann's... I couldn't have asked for a better service! The wonderful ladies were able to not only help me with picking a dress at my standards but they helped me see that the dress wasn't going to make me beautiful but what I thought of myself as a bride! Once I chose my dress, the visits to Ann's were always so rewarding to me! I appreciated every kind gesture the wonderful women here had to offer. They were more than generous and sweet. Thank you for making my wedding day a day...
