Ferndales

I absolutely recommend Ferndales Bridal. In search of the perfect dress, I made an appointment and really hoped I would find something. The team was incredibly helpful by bringing me lots of options, never made us feel rushed and answered all of my questions about alterations. ALL of their dresses require an order to be placed with the designer, so if you are looking for something same day, this won't be your best option. But, if you are looking for a great selection of gorgeous designer dresses, exceptional service and really great prices - this is your place. Even with these high gas prices, I drove 45 minutes each direction and would do it all over again. I'm so excited to have found my dress! Thank you ladies!

EMPLOYEE PUNCHED ME IN THE CHEST! I was there a couple weeks back and was searching for a dress, the day was good I found me dream dress until when I bought it and then when the Employee was gonna grab my dress to fold she punched me in the heart and DIDNT EVEN APOLOGIZE!? it hurt so much my day went from good to terrible, I have bad memories that I was punched in the chest when I found my wedding dress it's supposed to be a memorable day but now I just remember that my appointment sucked when she hit me. What's worse is that she knew and she just looked at me and turned away. Worst Experience EVER!

Ferndales has been amazing. It was the first shop I tried finding my wedding dress, and I didn't have to look any further - and to top it off, their alterations were perfect. I'm very disproportionate so I was worried they wouldn't be able to bring in the top as much as I needed, but they put in the long hours & hard work to make it happen and I couldn't be happier.

I'm from Alaska so I came into town to get my dress altered and they did what they needed to to make sure it was ready to take home with me at the end of my 5 day trip to Orange County. I highly recommend Ferndales to ALL brides - for your dress, alterations, and even bridesmaids dresses. The ladies there are so sweet and supportive, and their work is unmatched! Thank you Ferndales!

I had a wonderful experience with Ferndales from beginning to end! With the help of Emily, I found a dress that I wouldn't have normally chosen for myself. It was sleeveless and a little more "cleavey" than I wanted. But she let me know they would be able to add sleeves and cover the girls. After a couple days of thinking about it, I decided that was my dress.

I saw Ana for the initial measurements, and she was awesome! I, of course, was saying what all brides to be say "Im going to lose weight, Im going to tone up!" But she said to me not to worry about what the size was. She said why do all brides feel they need to lose weight. That I would look great regardless and not to put that added pressure on myself. So, she ordered my size and off I went.

I wasn't losing weight and Ana's words came back to me. It was ok to be my size, if I lost weight, good. And if I didn't that was ok too. It lifted a ton of bricks off my shoulders. So, after all the fittings and alterations, the end result was just EXACTLY what I wanted! I loved loved LOVED my dress. And I felt beautiful! And guess what? I didn't end up losing any weight and that was ok! Connie did a wonderful job on my dress and I am so grateful to her and her team! They are the best!

The staff at Ferndales are awesome. Anna helped me find the perfect dress! I added cap sleeves and got all the alterations done there too and my dress fit like a glove! I love this place and would recommend it to any bride!

Can't say enough good things about Ferndales! From the moment I walked in, Ana was so helpful and inviting. She made my whole experience of wedding dress shopping one to remember. I had went to David's bridal a couple weeks prior and the experience I received at Ferndales was the total opposite of what I received at David's bridal. I was the only one there with my mom and sister and Ana was so attentive and gave advice when trying on dresses. I would highly recommend this place.

I spoke with Tom over the phone he was very kind and offered true customer service. I called the next day to speak with Ana (Tom had notified her of my situation and that I would be calling) and she gave me such a great understanding of the dress that I was interested in. I believe they are truly Maggie Sottero experts and it made me feel confident in their company and expertise. They were even willing to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment. Excellent customer service!

My sister got her wedding dress here in 2009 and I decided to come in to see if I would have the same luck and I did on my first try! They have all the styles. I found my dress which I'm so excited to wear! Ana was amazing, she was very comforting, supportive and helpful, which are all the things you want in a stylist so I really do appreciate her. She didn't mind when I asked her questions. Also im thankful that Ferndale's is still open and still doing great business and helping brides. Thank you so much

Ferndales Bridal really came through for me in such a short amount of time. After countless dead ends calling other bridal shops that didn't want to even try to work with me (since I'm plus size), I had spoke with Connie's husband (Tom, over the phone) regarding a specific dress I wanted. They had the dress but unfortunately not in my size. However, he went above and beyond to help me order the dress in my size and had it rush shipped in time for my Elopement in October!

I had multiple visits to Ferndales to get fitted, get a visual idea of how my dress will look by trying on similar dresses and also to have my dress altered. Connie, Ana, and the rest of the team were just so friendly and understanding in helping me be wedding ready before my elopement day. They even suggested a lingerie shop not to far down the street, to have the proper bra to really fill out my dress. I can't thank them enough! I would definitely recommend them and hope to wear my dress again in the future!

I loved my experience at Ferndale's. Anna was wonderful--fun, knowledgeable, with incredible taste and knew exactly what I would like. How does she do that? She made the afternoon go smoothly and was upfront with cost etc. I highly recommend this bridal shoppe. I bought my dress and can't be more excited for it to get here and start the fittings.

I would highly recommend Ferndales! I got the most beautiful dress and the whole team was so helpful along the way. Ana was wonderful helping me pick out my dress! Connie had to do many alterations so that my dress would fit perfectly and she made sure every detail was taken care of. I can't wait to wear my dress on my wedding day!

I fell in love with a Moonlight Bridal dress online and couldn't find ANY retailer in CA - or surrounding states! - that carried it. I emailed Ferndale's to see if they had it in stock. I got a reply immediately, that they didn't have it but could try to borrow it for their upcoming trunk show. I received a follow up email as soon as they heard they didn't get the dress - but the service didn't stop there!

She let me know they were able to borrow the dress from another bride for me to try on before they got it cleaned and preserved. I was blown away they'd go to that length for me! When I arrived for my appointment, Anna was so helpful and personable. I tried on the dress and it didn't do it for me, but Anna had more suggestions ready for me.

I was honestly feeling like maybe she didn't know quite what I was looking for - and then I mentioned a small detail i hadn't before. Anna took a moment to think and immediately grabbed THE PERFECT DRESS! It's like she read my mind! I had tried on dresses at two other places, and each time I'd find a dress and go "well I love it, but I wish it had X" or "It's would be perfect if it didn't have Y!" The dress Anna pulled was literally everything I loved and wanted in a dress.

It was like magic! The price on the dress was very reasonable, and I'm so so happy I let Anna do her thing. She's an absolute rockstar and expert at what she does. Go here and ask for Anna! I can't wait to wear my perfect dress on my wedding day.

I just bought my wedding dress from here and I had an great experience! Fair prices, beautiful gowns, and fantastic service. I'm so excited for my gown to come in

I had a wonderful experience at Ferndales. It's family-owned with a wide selection. This was my third store to try on wedding dresses. My mom and I arrived for my bridal appointment and were greeted by Connie and Ana. Ana was very knowledgeable and helped me throughout the appointment. She wanted to know my style preferences and recommended dresses that aligned with my preferences. After 5 dresses, I finally found the one. I will always cherish this memory, thank you Ferndales for delivering and making this experience so special.

This review is long overdue. I made an appointment online and called to adjust the amount of people attending my appointment, to which they were easily accommodating. We were the only appointment at the time. Anna was who helped me, made me feel comfortable dressing/undressing. Shes a pro at those clips. She also knows the biz, the first dress she pulled was my favorite. I had to try it on again at the end because the others didnt compare, although beautiful in their own style.

Ferndales Bridal is the BEST! This was my second shop I went to and my consultation was amazing! They filtered through as many dresses as I wanted and every time I mentioned something new I liked in a dress they would search high and low for what I wanted! There was a style I fell in love with at the shop but I hadn't found the dress quite yet, UNTIL, they pulled this dress out and I was SOLD!

I cried, I laughed, I was ready to walk out the door with this dress on! They hemming was PERFECT and perfectly on time! This shop is the best shop and I have recommended it to everyone I know getting married!

I went to ferndales bridal. I've dreamed about going there since I passed it every day going to school and seeing dresses in the window. Going in my expectations were exceeded greatly! This is a family owned business and the mother and daughter worked great with me. From picking out my dress A MONTH AND A HALF BEFORE MY WEDDING (Covid), to accessories, to alterations, to even making me masks for myself and my bridal party, these ladies were there for it all. I would recommend them to anyone!

I've had the pleasure of working with Ferndales for 2 years now, thanks to Covid-19. I was looking for a grey wedding dress. I sent a message to Ferndales and received a quick response. I went on a day (unknowingly) there was a trunk show, and found my dress. It was that easy. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Connie and Ana was great. Thanks for everything.

This bridal shop has the upmost superb service! I have to say from picking out my gown, to the dress fittings and alterations, they are absolutely fantastic. I ordered my dress pre-Covid, and it arrived during Covid times, they were still so accommodating with appointments for all my dress fittings to make sure my dress was ready for the big day! Yes I did it!

I had a covid wedding, and I wouldn't have been able to without the care and loving service I received from Ferndales. I even went to try on my dress for the first time alone, and it was tough because wedding gown fittings are supposed to be such a pivotal moment in a bride's life but the store owner stayed by my side and helped me through the process. I truly thank you for everything!

Ferndales deserves more than 5 stars. Both me and my sister purchased our wedding dresses at Ferndales (not on purpose) and they went above and beyond for both of us. My Sister's Wedding Dress My sister got engaged while our grandpa was terminally ill so she decided to get married 9 days after her engagement so he could be present. I called EVERY bridal salon in SoCal to try and get her a proper dress with no luck.

A co-worker suggested Ferndale's because that's where she bought her dress. I called and was told they didn't have any appointments but after hearing our situation, they agreed to open the salon 1 hour early on a Saturday to make room for us. My sister is 5'8 and a size 4 so she's basically sample size so they told us we could have any dress off the floor. Seriously, any dress!

The service was so incredible that my sister walked out with two dresses that day. She purchased a gown for the ceremony and a shorter dress for the reception. Slight alterations and a cleaning were done and my sister wore her dresses 5 days later. Ferndales was a life-saver! My Wedding Dress Unlike my supermodel sister, I'm not 5'7 nor am I a size 4. I'm a 5'6 plus size bride and had been to a few bridal salons without any luck.

My co-worker again suggested Ferndale's after a few failed appointments elsewhere. I called to see if they even carried a selection of plus size gowns and to my surprise, they had quite a collection! I actually had several dresses that I fell in love with. I had some pretty specific requirements - I wanted a raw lace hem, strapless, Swarovski crystals, a belt, and a colored gown (champagne, blush, etc.) I ended up with a beautiful Maggie Sottero that checked all the boxes.

They even had the most beautiful veil that matched the dress perfectly. I didn't even want a veil and I ended up with chapel length beaded one. I needed to purchase extra fabric to give my girls some additional coverage and they only charged me something like $40 for the additional fabric. The gown and alterations were thousands less than I thought I was going to spend.

This place is extremely reasonable with their pricing and the customer service is exceptional. I'm already married so fingers crossed I'll never need another wedding dress but future brides, please continue to support this family-owned business!

They have the most beautiful dresses! The staff is wonderful and very knowledgeable about each gown, I described what I wanted and they brought out EXACTLY AND EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL than I can imagine of what I wanted! I never felt rushed or pressured. Very truthful with you and give genuine opinions! I found my dress on the 3rd try! Thank you everyone, because of you guys I felt like a Queen on my special day!

I said yes to my dress here! I love this little gem of a bridal store! I had called around to several bridal stores to check if they had a specific dress I've been looking at because I would like to try it on and it seems like no one had this (but could be ordered). However when I called Ferndale's, they told me they would call to see if they can borrow one.

On my appointment day, they had the dress! I was able to try on many amazing styles and all were beautiful but the one I had in mind turned out to be the one that I chose! Ferndales made my wedding dress dreams come true! They went above and beyond so I was able to try the dress on! This is amazing service and of course I placed my order! Thank you Ferndale's and Ana who assisted me!

I had an amazing experience at Ferndales! They are still open during covid, they have two appointments at opposite ends of the shop at a time. Everyone wears masks, I was allowed to bring 2 guests with me. This is only the second bridal dress shop I've been to but everything about my experience here was so much above and beyond what I was hoping for!

I came in having looked at some pictures of wedding dresses online but not quite sure what I wanted for myself. I also don't know much about fabrics and styles of dresses so it was hard for me to describe what I liked and what I didn't like. My dress consultant, Emily, was super friendly and helpful! She helped me pinpoint exactly what aspects of certain dresses I liked or didn't like, and based on that, found me other dresses to try on that combined the aspects that I liked.

She was super informative and easy to talk to, and helped me find a couple dresses that I really loved (and now the hard part is deciding between two dresses, I'll probably have to come back to make that decision). I tried on so many beautiful dresses and Emily was really great about finding these amazing dresses within my budget for me to try on.

She was also very upfront and open about how much specific alterations cost, how long it takes to get a dress shipped and altered, etc. Honestly even the questions I didn't know how to ask, she answered for me.

I felt for this bridal shop as well as all other vendors who were affected by the current pandemic. After trying out a few dresses at their shop, I found a dress what I thought looked best with my figure. They ordered a size 16. Unfortunately, I gained a lot of weight during this terrible crisis, and 16 no longer fit. I was sad to hear that the designer did not have larger sizes.

As you can imagine, I was devastated not only because the dress I chose didn't fit, but I now had to try on a Size 20! I cried and wanted to cancel the purchase of the dress and request refund, but this bridal shop does not refund after the dress was ordered. I understand everyone is struggling financially, but the store owner stating they already had a sample of the dress that I tried on so I was I felt I had no choice but to try and find another dress in my price range of $1100 and my new size. Ana, owner daughter and part of bridal staff, was able to find another dress in their shop which was beautiful, full of bling and sparkle, but it was $1000 more, figured it would!

So I felt I was forced to but a more expensive dress. I was quite upset. However, Connie, the owner gave me a great discount on the dress, but it still ended up being more than I wanted to spend on a dress. I wish Despite my personal challenges, everyone was great, helpful and I was glad they all wore masks! Thank you.

This place was so accommodating! I live in Arizona and was only in town for the weekend. They were able to squeeze me in last minute. I had a very sweet girl help me, her name started with a Y, and I also met the seamstress, who I believe was the owner as well. They were all so friendly. Even though I did not get a dress from here I had other appointments before that was discouraging me from the dress shopping process. You guys put hope back in for me to find a dress so thank you so much!

Beautiful dress, which was chosen for the style and color option by the bride (5 stars). However, it took a long time to come in and was very expensive considering the dress was too big and too long (they asked for all measurements, then ordered a generic size). Then they wanted to charge even more for tailoring, so I ended up doing it myself (I had to shorten the dress 10 inches).

I also had to sew some shoddy seams closed, which was frustrating for such an expensive dress. The boning in the dress also made the dress migrate upwards, making the straps loose and they fell as a result. The staff was difficult to work with at times, but other times they were accommodating. They asked the bride if the matron of honor could pick up the dresses, rather than asking those of us who paid for them (very strange).

On the bright side, they did allow me to payments to make remotely and held the dress for about a month after it arrived. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place because I probably could've gotten the dress on ebay for a lot less and had the same end result. (I didn't for the sake of the bride). Edit. You responded with the wrong bridal party reference.

I have no idea who Erika is. And there's really no excuse for cutting corners on my $200 dress that had open seams that I had to sew closed. I couldn't attend the wedding with the dress like that. Regardless of where the dress was hemmed, it was shoddy quality for the expensive price. Sorry, I wouldn't call that excellent workmanship or a fair price.

Soooo happy I went here for my dress! I originally went here to get a Maggie Soterro dress, but quickly fell in love with Allure Bridals. This place is small with tons of options and the nicest people who work there. This was my first and only store I went too, had so many selections didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. The same person helped me from day one untill I picked up my dress. I also got married in Cozumel which I brought a suitcase in and they packed the dress for me. Would highly recommend this place to any bride to be!

Ana and the entire staff here were absolutely wonderful for my sister's wedding dress appointment this past weekend. Ana listened to what my sister was looking for and immediately had her in a series of dress that were all perfect. Additionally, Ferndales was the only boutique store we went to in the area with dresses to try on larger than a 12; which allowed us to actually tell what the dresses looked like on her frame. Thank you Ferndales!

LOVE this place. The consultant wasn't pushy, she listened to what I liked and was looking for. Such a large selection of dresses. It was like a sea of gorgeous gowns! All the lovely ladies that work there are so sweet and nice. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for their perfect gown. I had tried on all the dresses that I had in mind without any pressure.

When I was feeling a bit like I wouldn't find *the* one the consultant brought out a dress that had just arrived and it was perfect! Their veils are also gorgeous. Family owned, very personable!
