I went with my daughter for her wedding dress and we had a wonderful fitting with our assistant Rouya. She doted Over my daughter and was invested in finding the perfect dress and accessories for her. It really made a difference in her experience and also brought to our attention the details of the right dress. Plus the price points are so fair and reasonable!Thank you, Rouya for making such an important choice memorable and sweet! ♥️

This store is on the top level of the regular Anthropologie in Walnut Creek. I had a really pleasant experience shopping here. I've been to a few wedding dress appointments and I think this one was the most comfortable. My stylist was very helpful and knowledgeable about the inventory. 4 stars instead of 5 only because I didn't find a dress that wowed me, but that's just personal preference.The music in the store wasn't being played in this section so it was also quiet and comfortable to talk!

This was my first stop for wedding dresses and ended up being my last! Rouya was so sweet and kind and helped me find the perfect dress. I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the dresses and would recommend!

Updating my review to post these photos from my wedding because OMGGGG this Lourdes by Jenny dress was absolutely fabulous! Thank you Priti for bringing it to me because I really would have overlooked this gem! I didn't even choose it from the rack. Awesome eye for what a bride is looking for :)

We made an appointment and I found my wedding dress here despite the best efforts of the woman "helping" me. She acted like my being there was a huge irritant to her right off the bat. She kept pressuring me to stay in one corner of the shop for some reason. (Luckily my mom was roaming around and found the dress I ended up choosing.) She didn't make any suggestions, but made passive aggressive comments about my weight and tried to dissuade me from trying on dresses (including one that she had already pulled for me????). One of the dresses I tried on was too small and when I asked her if they had a larger size in store, she grimaced at me and said "we do but now that you've seen it on yourself, do you think this would even be one that you'd choose?"She made comments about that for everything--it felt like having a mean girl from high school running the appointment. I'm not self conscious about my body and not sentimental about having this big moment of finding "the dress" but if you are, please don't go here because they will absolutely ruin it for you.I got to show my family 4 dresses total because despite insisting that she needed to zip me into everything, she kept vanishing to go talk to her coworkers. I don't know what this lady's problem was. I gave her the benefit of the doubt that she was having a terrible day but after reading the *Anthropologie* reviews for this location and seeing her named specifically, it sounds like that's just her.Also, if you walk out with your dress same day, be aware that they do not have actual garment bags, just short clear/ plastic ones. They tossed mine in a giant Anthro bag crumpled up. Nice!

The biggest Anthropologie store I've been to. A lot of things for home, beautiful plants, and wedding dresses

I had an amazing experience here! I saw the dress I thought I would like online and came for a bridal appointment. My stylist/assistant Rosa was so friendly and helpful and positive and really made the experience lovely. (Turns out, I loved the dress I thought I would and thought it was the winner, but tried on a few more for fun.) I'm writing this review not just because my dress is absolutely perfect, but also because genuinely good customer service is so rare these days and can really make or break an experience, and Rosa was just fantastic. I truly felt like she was my biggest cheerleader and got zero sales-y vibes. Literally the easiest and least stressful shopping experience of my life, somehow!

I loved my experience with Dani at BHLDN Walnut Creek! She was such a personable, helpful, and knowledgable stylist and I did find a dress to say yes to :)I made an appointment online which was super easy to book as well as reschedule as needed, and confirmed my appointment a few days before. Upon walking into the store and heading upstairs to the lovely bridal area, my friend and I were greeted with warm smiles and light refreshments. Dani took time to understand my venue and vision before we looked through the dress samples. I actually really like that there are a good amount of styles but not overwhelmingly so like other bridal shops might have, ~30-50 available maybe? And the lighting in that niche of the store is so nice I selected about ~6 dresses to try during the appointment, and Dani looked up the dresses online before I began trying them on to make sure that all of the ones I tried would be able to make it in time for the big day. She was very respectful and helpful as I tried on each dress, giving me space but also helping to zip and clip each dress to better fit. Along the way, she also gave very helpful tips and explanations of different styles, ways that dresses might require altering, and weddings in general. It really was so sweet to have a stylist that felt less like a salesperson and more of a confidant, and as far as I could tell the other stylists seemed very warm and supportive too.At the end of our appointment, Dani helped us talk through which styles seemed to be our favorites and wrote a note to help me remember the names and suggested sizing. It was such a pleasant experience to have at BHLDN as I prepare for my wedding day!

Wonderful customer service. Very nice selection of bridal gowns as well as wedding guest gowns. Their selection of accessories is excellent as well. I enjoyed working with them.

I loved loved bridal shopping at BHLDN. While I didn't find "the dress," the women who worked here made it was such a lovely shopping experience. Everyone was so welcoming, the natural lighting is SUPERB, and they gave me complimentary rosé. What's not to love?

Had a great experience at BHLDN last weekend. Kelly was my stylist and she was wonderful. Friendly and helpful, but also gave me plenty of space and time without pressure. I wound up picking out a style I hadn't seen online, but found in the store. I had imagined a totally different style for myself, but was pleasantly surprised to find something unexpected. Prices ranged from seriously?? to high, but affordable--so you're bound to find something that fits any need. Super pleased with the material and fit quality.

Best experience I’ve ever had. I found my dream wedding dress on the first day of looking. The staff was so nice and helpful! I’m really happy and excited to wear my dress ?

Shopped at BHLDN for a wedding dress for my daughter and had the best experience with our salesperson, Priti, in Walnut Creek. She was patient and sweet, made the bride-to-be feel special. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed. We had an appt. at another salon afterwards and decided to go, even though the bride thought she found "the one" at BHLDN, since we already paid for the other appt. (don't get me started on charging for appts!) and wanted to compare dresses/experiences. We came back to BHLDN later in the day to try the dress on again and "make sure" (without an appt.) and they were able to accommodate us last minute to try the dress on (ended up buying it). They did not make us feel as though this was an inconvenience and the person we interacted with (Priti was busy with another customer) was also lovely and welcoming. The bride said the entire experience was perfect. Thank you. (Also, the experience at BHLDN was better than the other Walnut Creek store, where the bride felt pressured and the salon experience was not as nice.)

This review is specifically for Hilary. Hilary helped me try on so many dresses, stayed after my appt time had ended as I was her last appt, and made me feel beautiful the entire time. I was being a bit hard on myself and felt a bit negative about my body as I was trying on the gorgeous dresses. She picked up on it and shut it down over and over again. She continued to give me so many compliments, she was so body inclusive and body positive that I began to feel better and my spirits were lifted. I would send anyone to her that needs to find a dress and a little extra support and love along the way. She was so kind! I ended up finding my dress the next day at another store but I felt more confident to make that decision because of Hilary. Aside from Hilary, having an appt here felt much more special than other appts I had. I was in Flares Bridal earlier that day and had a pretty terrible experience, it all came off very salesy and aggressive. BHLDN offers a beautiful space, drinks to celebrate with, and honestly the dresses felt like such great quality! Highly recommend all around!

had the most positive experience at BHLDN!I am an upcoming 2023 bride in search of my dream dress and it's been quite a journey for me. I've experienced seeing having to pay for appointments at other boutiques and not receiving the best service.I had seen BHLDN many times while shopping in Downtown Walnut Creek, so I decided to check out dresses online. The dresses selection and range of styles were all amazing, so I booked an appointment for a Sunday.I was so impressed with the fact that I didn't have to pay for the appointment and had the best service I've had so far. I understand the need to pay as it shows brides are serious and covering the time a stylist spends on helping out, but it quickly adds up if you are shopping at multiple boutiques. My stylist was Lucille and she was the kindest stylist I've dealt with so far while wedding dress shopping. She really helped me figure out what my style was and was great at complementing the dresses with accessories to help me see the full vision. She was by my side the whole time and was completely honest when I asked for opinions. it felt like I was talking to a friend and not someone who is trying to sell me something. I've experienced st other boutiques where I pay that they heavily push sales and also would leave me alone for a while without notifying me of what's going on.Lucille made super I was supported and helped me find my dream dress. My dream dress was something she picked out as I thought it might not look good on me, but it was and looked amazing on me. It fits my style and venue perfectly.This was hands down the best experience I've had and I'm going to go back with the intentions of buying my dream dress. I hope to also find reception dress there as the prices are reasonable and the dresses are all high quality.
