I had the pleasure of working with Desi and had the most wonderful experience! First off, this store is beautiful and has a HUGE inventory. They really make the shopping experience elevated with the decor, welcome sign, drinks and snacks, and the different parts of the store. Pictures of the store don't show how beautiful the store truly is. Second, it was so great to be paired with Desi, who really had my best interest in mind and gave her honest and professional input regarding my questions about fit, customizations, color, etc. She really cared about making this the best experience and advocated for me. I made notes during my appointment booking that I had been to many stores previously and tried on a TON of dresses prior to Bride to Be, and she called me the day before my appointment to get a better understanding of where I was at. I appreciated this as it helped make my appointment more efficient and we didn't waste any time asking these questions during the appointment!
I purchased my dream dress here the same day :) and didn't even realize the appointment went way past closing. I wasn't aware of the time as Desi didn't rush me at all. Though I felt bad to keep the store open, it just shows how Desi and Bride to Be Couture have amazing customer service. I'm very excited to continue working with Desi once my dress comes in and to finish the look with accessories.
With this being the perfect experience, a tip for future brides is that shipping and storage costs are an extra cost. I was surprised to see these costs at the very end when I received the invoice for payment, as they were not small (perhaps it's the designer I purchased from?), and would've appreciated these costs being explained prior to or at the beginning of the appointment. I would consider these costs as a part of my dress budget. Overall, I had the most wonderful experience, thank you Bride to Be Couture!

I found my dress and was really taken care of by Taylor! She was so warm and had a wonderful energy. Made the whole process so enjoyable and put my mind at ease. She took all my notes on what kind of elements I wanted in a dress and really found the best pieces for me to try on.

I want to personally thank Arianna for making this experience so special for me. She made me feel so confident and pretty and I feel so lucky to have found my dream dress. She’s been following up with me and making sure that I feel comfortable about the process. It’s nice to know that I can count on her whenever I have doubts or worries. Thanks again Arianna!

Bride to be Couture was the second store I shopped at to find my dress, my friend had recommended it to me. When you walk in the entire staff is so sweet and welcoming. The store itself is huge, with so many dresses and designers to choose from. The store is beautiful with natural lighting and big mirrors and cute decor. They have your suite set up with a cute sign for you and your guests, and give complimentary drinks and candy.
As for my stylist, I was so lucky to work with Desi, she is AMAZING. Prior to my appointment she reached out to me and introduced herself. She also asked me about my vision, things I liked/didn’t like in dresses, what styles I liked, this helped her already have dresses ready for me to try on when I got there. That extra detail of calling a day before calmed my nerves and made me feel like she really cared about helping her brides! I had shopped the weekend before somewhere else and thought I found the one… I wanted to shop at another store and was so happy that i found b2b. As fun and exciting as this experience was, it was also slightly overwhelming as I couldn’t decide which styles I liked best. Desi was so helpful in bringing me tons of different styles and guiding me through the process. When she realized I was stuck, she kindly explained to me her thoughts. She really was able to know what I liked and wanted before I did ? she was so so sweet, so caring and really loves what she does. She just wants her brides to be happy! She was so patient and had such amazing energy during the apts. she made the process as stress free and fun as possible ! I am so so lucky to have had Desi as my stylist ❤️
Seriously cannot recommend b2b and Desi enough! You will be so so happy you went here!!!

My daughter, Allyson, had the best experience with Bride to be Couture. This was largely due in part to stylist Erin, who was so inviting, friendly and kind. She listened intently to Allyson’s wishes and found Allyson’s dream wedding gown. We all had such a wonderful time with her appointment.
Highly, highly recommend this boutique for your wedding gown needs. The entire shop and employees are so amazing.

BEST HIDDEN GEM IN SACRAMENTO! I visited the most popular stores in Sacramento as well as Walnut Creek, and this was by far my favorite. My stylist, Arianna, was very prepared/organized, detailed in listening to what I wanted, and pulled great gown choices. She also let us walk around the store and pull dresses ourselves (which some stores do not let you do) which was such a fun experience! The owner, Dina, was extremely present and helpful as well. The store is adorable and creates a great ambiance for a special experience. 10/10 recommend visiting Bride to Be to find your dress!

on (adding straps, finding the right veil, etc.) I never once felt rushed during the try on process or pressured at the end to make a purchase. I absolutely found “the dress”, but it was nice to know I fully came to this decision because I love the dress and not because I felt if I didn’t buy quickly, I’d miss out on some deal or the dress would be gone. They also personalize the whole experience and have great coordination - I emailed them right after booking about a specific dress that I wanted to try on, and when Arianna reached out via text closer to my appointment discuss my vision she already knew about this dress and said she would have it waiting for me to try on first when we arrived. And as a cherry on top, they played the song I plan to walk down the aisle to on the store speakers when I put on my favorite dress. I’ve been to other wedding dress appointments with friends where they make it all feel so cookie cutter and Bride to be Couture is so far from this - they make you feel so special throughout and the whole experience is tailored to you. To all my fellow brides and future brides, I cannot recommend them enough :)

This place was a recommendation from one my best friends as she also got her dress here and really loved the experience. This was the only place I made an appointment for and it was a quick and easy process. In the questionnaire I was able to add my Pinterest board for them to look at. My stylist was Lauren and she was the sweetest person, she had already pulled dresses from my Pinterest board as well as other dresses that were similar. She made me feel very comfortable in every dress I tried. She was really nit picky with questions about each dress which really allowed me to look and think about every little detail about each dress which really helped me narrow down my dress. I can’t thank her enough for all of her help, she was very honest about each dress and I am thankful I was able to find the dress of my dreams!

I had an incredible experience at Bride to Be Couture, and a huge part of that was thanks to my stylist, Erin Britt. I went into my appointment feeling nervous and indecisive, with only a few pictures to guide us. Erin was fantastic—she took those initial ideas and ran with them, expertly guiding me through the process. Despite not planning on walking away with a dress that day, Erin helped me find the perfect one. Her patience and ability to quickly understand my style preferences made the experience so enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist or a more seamless experience. Highly recommend!

I just had my bridal appointment at Bride to be Couture and wow, what an experience! I did end up choosing my dress here and I'm so thankful to my consultant Erin for picking it! Prior to my appointment, she reached out to get a feel for my taste and what gowns I was interested in so I knew our appointment would be efficient. I was so nervous about shopping for a dress but Erin calmed my nerves. Everyone in my entourage agreed my entire demeanor changed with her compared to a previous appointment. Here are my highlights:
-Great customer service! everyone there was kind and generous. They offered us drinks and made sure we felt welcomed
-I called to ask if I could bring a 5th guest and they accommodated so I got to have everyone I wanted there with me!
-The atmosphere was great, the champagne flowing, the awesome music. They even let me look around the dresses racks myself which I loved as a hands-on bride. Other employees would see me in gowns and chime in with words of encouragement. It was so reassuring!
-Erin made me feel beautiful and listened to. As a mid-sized bride (bigger than straight sizing but not quite plus size) I was concerned with fit and different styles. She pulled exactly what I asked, and let me explore, and then made recommendations. She assured me when I didn't feel confident about my body and more. Hands down, couldn't have asked for anyone better!
I deducted 1 star for the confusion about pricing. My budget was $4000 max, and I picked a gown that was technically "within budget" at $3500 but once we got to the paperwork part of it all, the total cost for delivery to the store, a bag (?I'm assuming a garment bag?), and a unexplained "fee" was $4200, which was over budget. I thought with taxes, I still would've been under my max and I wasn't. I wish I had more explanation about that so I could've considered it. My friends have been married and bought dresses and never paid for garment bags and undisclosed "fees".
Other than that, it was a great experience and I will be recommending this store to future brides, while letting them know about the pricing policies.

I had the best experience at Bride To Be Couture! Tayler helped me find the dress of my dreams, and I ended up canceling all my other appointments. She truly listened to what I wanted and found the perfect dress with all the details I loved. Definitely request to have her as your stylist. I’m so excited to be a Bride To Be Couture bride!

I had an amazing experience at B2B. My stylist was Tayler and I can not recommend her enough, she knew exactly what I wanted from pictures I showed her. She was very knowledgeable, professional & fantastic. I can’t wait to go back to pick my dress up! ?
