As the largest bridal showroom in San Diego, we offer thousands of designer wedding gowns, personalized one-on-one bridal appointments, and expert consultants dedicated to making your bridal shopping experience enjoyable, memorable, and stress-free.

Your bridal appointment is a personalized, one-on-one experience with one of our expert bridal consultants. Together, you'll explore our extensive collection of designer wedding dresses and discuss your wedding vision, style preferences, and budget. Your consultant will help you select gowns to try on, assist you throughout the fitting process, and provide expert guidance to help you find the dress that makes you feel confident and beautiful.

Bridal appointments are scheduled for one hour, but if you're close to saying "yes" to the dress, we'll happily extend your appointment whenever possible to ensure you have the best experience.

We highly recommend booking a bridal appointment so you can enjoy personalized assistance from one of our experienced bridal consultants. Walk-ins are always welcome; however, we encourage calling ahead to check availability so we can provide you with the best possible shopping experience.

A $45 bridal appointment fee is charged at the time of booking. This fee is fully credited toward the purchase of your wedding dress if you purchase your gown during your appointment. If you need to reschedule or have questions about our appointment policy, please contact our team and we'll be happy to assist you.

Bridal appointments are 1 hour and 15 min. We allow for a 15 minute grace period in the case that your appointment exceeds the 1 hour and 15 min time limit, in which your appointment fee ($45) will still be available to go towards your purchase of a bridal gown.
