Laura’s Bridal

What a find this quaint little shop is. Laura is a talented seamstress with a vast understanding of differant fabrics and styles. I described to her an idea I had for an outfit, she listened and took my measurements and created a pattern from that. It’s really pretty amazing. A lot of work but she made it seem easy. & I was delighted with the results too.

Thanks for the tuxedo rental for Michael he loved it. Must come here laura is too kind.

I ordered a veil online that never came in for my wedding, so a few days before my wedding I went in search of one off the rack. Laura had several options in the store and was willing to custom make one of I didn’t see what I wanted. I walked out with a gorgeous veil for a decent price.

Wedding fiasco!! vWe live right around the corner and I thought how great to support local business. What a mistake! Came here 10 years ago to have shirts designed and made for our beach wedding. In addition we had 3 skirts hemmed and a pair of capri’s. We gave the owner a 2 ½ month window, which she said was no problem! Brought in sample shirts to copy. Explained the material type we were looking for and specific design work wanted.
First fitting was a disaster. The material was so cheap and see through. Rather than buy better quality she double lined just the chest and back. not the arms. But we were assured it would look good. We asked to have the shirts by the first week of July giving us a month before our wedding to go over any changes.
Fast forward July came and went. The cut was wrong, the material was wrong, the beading was wrong. She made the drop neck line on my fiancée’s shirt almost to his belly button. Omg… This was to be a simple task for a simple wedding. She showed us all these elaborate dresses she supposedly made and here she can’t get a basic gauze shirt with beading made.
Our wedding was Aug 3. Still August 2 she was working on them. We picked them up at midnight, technically the day if our wedding. The heart bead work that was supposed to be on the back off the shirt was not done. She said if I came back in the morning it would be right and I said no way. I was so angry. She had over 2 months to do this. Was a month late at getting them to us. And we paid full price! Not to mention she forgot about charging me for the skirt hemming [I’m thinking she felt bad and was not charging u’s] and before I could leave I had to fork over more money on a separate transaction.
This place is a joke! I know my review is really late. But as my husband and I are about to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary I felt compelled to let my anger go along with what happened at this shop. I see this place everyday and it just bothers me she ruined such an important moment. Really sad! And we spoke of her making custom shirts for me afterwards too. Lost a customer for life. She knew we were unhappy and she made NO EFFORT to make things right!
Shame on them!

Excellent and reliable service by Laura, I rented my sons prom tux and it was amazing looking and at a reasonable price. I would recommend this place any given day, no matter what the event. She can alter anything! Thank Laura

I’ve had 2 wedding dresses for my special day. One was $ 12k gown and the other $ 2k gown, that Laura altered for me. Laura made my dress feel comfortable like second skin and really defined my shape in the less expensive gown. She added some very pretty accents that glam’ed it up a bit. For a wedding dress, it was tasteful & elegant with a hint of sass. Loved Laura’s work and she made me feel comfortable at the fittings and was completely reliable in her delivery. She put this nervous bride at ease and was one of the easier parts to deal w in planning my special day.
But 3 years later, I came back for my toddlers birthday gift. I hated all the paper thin glitter bombs of princess dresses and wanted something unique as my baby. I know it may not be ideal to raise your little girl as a princess, but I just wanted her to feel empowered and if a beautiful dress made for her did that — I’m all a go.
So I saw Laura on a whim and she was able to work with my squirmy child. She set her girl whisper talent at ease & got the right measurements to create something so adorable. Laura worked her magic and completed the dress in 10 days, when I begged her not to rush. She even had foresight to tuck a little allowance for my lil girl to grow and made super silky lining so lil miss doesn’t itch. Laura said to come back when we need the extra inch… if I can pry it off my child and she’s worn out the stitching. Let’s just say that my lil girl is all smiles and feels much more confident in her second skin. Thanks Laura for being you and investing the time to make it right.

Laura is extremely talented and very sweet. She made my prom dress and altered my wedding gown & made my veil. She did an amazing job. Just make sure you communicate the price each time you see her. She is worth every penny!

I’m sorry to see the bad reviews here, but I came in for my best friend’s wedding dress
fitting (I’m the maid of honor). The dress fits her beautifully and the job was done in a timely manner. The dress even had an intricate lace-​y spot that HAD to be altered because it was on the waist of the dress. Really tricky spot to alter… ugh… BUT Laura did a magnificent job and you’d never know the dress needed one stitch. My friend looks stunning and the service here was outstanding.

Months ago had to get measurements for a project — standard issue jacket measurements– was going to charge me $ 12! Most tux/​bridal places will do it for free as a courtesy… not here. no courtesy I guess… went to Men’s Warehouse. got it done for FREE, great service there, and ended up buying some Calvin Klein jackets I did not need for about $ 400. oops. Guess where I would NOT go if I need to rent a tux, buy a tux, or refer someone? Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face Laura’s Bridal, guys may need measurement’s today, a tux tomorrow.

Wow I am mystified by the lousy reviews: I went to this place on a whim after a really lousy experience at David’s Bridal (ok, so I know this is my second wedding and I didn’t come in with an entourage, but really do you have to be so rude?). Laura’s shop is what I would call intimate; but she still managed to have a very good selection. The day I went to Laura’s it was about 100 degrees, and that woman helped me try on dozens of dresses. She was so helpful and friendly. When I finally found THE dress, the price was exactly in my budget, she even gave me a discount because, the dress didn’t need any alterations. I found her cheerful and friendly. I don’t speak a word of Spanish but didn’t have any problem understanding her. She didn’t treat me like a second class citizen because it was my second wedding and she made me feel like a queen. I plan to take my mother there for her mother of the bride dress also.

My wedding is 3 weeks away and I went in for my final fitting and to pick up my dress tonight… OMG!!! They screwed it up even worse than it was at my previous fittings (that is the ones that they didn’t cancel or the ones I showed up at and no work had ever been done). To begin with I placed my deposit with them (50%down) back in December, 3 weeks later my big wedding was canceled and I called immediately and they told me I could not get my deposit back because they had started on the work (I had not even been fitted or picked out the actual material at this point, but whatever) So I went from a grand wedding dress to a simple short beach wedding dress for just family 8 months away with the same corset top they would not refund me for. I thought they were so nice and would accommodate what they placed in my head. If I had only known then what I know now. My first fitting was like rags (this first fitting was one of the highlights and best experiences I had with them). Each fitting there after was worse — the next three appointments I showed up during rush hour I raced across town and when I showed up, Laura would give me some sob story about her family problems or tell me its all her daughters fault and she didn’t even know I was coming in for a fitting, so I would politely reschedule and then the next week Laura would give me the exact same song and dance almost verbatim like I am some idiot. Yet, I kept quiet, I wanted them to do go work on my wedding dress– I am the Bride after all. To make an extremely painful and long story short, tonight I went for my final fitting, I called 2 days ago and asked if my dress was going to be ready to be picked up today, Laura said yes no problem, I called this morning to make sure there were no unexpected problems… tonight I show up and it is disgusting and the worst sewing work I have ever seen anywhere. If I donated the dress presented to me tonight the thrift store could not get someone to spend $ 5 on it because it is that badly done. Seams are all over the place there are 3 vertical deep seams just in the skirt and the corset top wrinkles and cannot be properly tightened, my $ 0.99 shirt is better made than my wedding dress I spent a thousand on — and when you go in for the very first time — they bag on David’s bridal and tell you how much nicer a job they will do for you than other bridal shops — all a crock of crap. Laura and her daughter Jeannette are a pair of scheming con artists that don’t mind purposefully ruining a brides day! Here’s a funny tidbit — they even told me tonight it was my fault they cannot sew a proper clean hem line! LOL! They are lying crooks and I strongly advise everyone to stay as far away from them and this store as possible.

Frustration and disappointment is all i’ve received from this shop. I was a brides maid in my best friends wedding. I had to get my dress a couple of sizes bigger and have it altered in. I found Laura’s bridal after searching for a seamstress in the area. Seeing that see makes wedding dresses I thought I could count on her. Not only was my time not considered, but the end result was mediocre and expensive. I was told that the request I made could be met. I dropped off my dress a month before the wedding and was told it would take about 2 weeks and she would give me a call. 3 weeks later I called and then was told to come in the following Monday to pick up my dress. I get to the shop and she was not there and my dress was not ready. I was then told to come the next day. Now the wedding was 4 days away. I still needed to get my corset fit with the dress. Not only did I have to rush, but my dress was still too big. I had to pin it. Needless to say I am unhappy with the services. Almost everyone I talked to told me that the alterations I wanted could have easily been done. I will not step foot in this shop again.
On a side note. I have read some other reviews that correlate with the same experience I’ve had. She was a no show and said it was because her daughter was in the hospital. Not to say she was lying, and I wish her daughter well, but it seems she uses this reason quite often.

Great customer services. Great bundle of deals on tuxedos or suits.
I have rented tuxedos for my cousin wedding for the groom and his grooms men. Also my cousins wedding dress has been fitted and altered to her liking. No complaints. Everything went smooth and on schedule.
I personally needed my military attire to be tailor and change my rank ensign with military precision and regulations. Especially, if you don’t have a base near by in the valley. This is the place to be.

I love Laura’s Bridal. And I definitely did NOT have the experience posted by the first reviewer. She understands my requests in English very well. I have never had a problem with communication.
She altered my wedding dress 3 years ago, and I couldn’t have been happier with the price and the result. I have very picky tastes, and was very particular on how my dress should be trundled up. She did a fantastic job, and even made some suggestions that I absolutely adored changing my dress to be a complete new custom creation. I had my Malibu dream wedding, and saved $ on my alterations. Other places I researched were charging so much more for the job that I wanted done on my dress. Laura’s Prices were very reasonable.
I have since used her for other alterations, and she’s always so helpful and her daughter is very professional and cheerful. This is a Mom and Pop shop to be sure. But that’s what I love about it. Haven’t used the tux rental yet, so cannot comment on that.
She does get busy, esp during certain parts of the year, so try to make sure you have enough time — in order to get your alterations down in time for your event!
I have sent my good friends here, and they also have been amazed. One of my girlfriends needed a Size 12 bridesmaid dress converted into a Size 2. She couldn’t believe the price and how good the dress looked, when Laura was all done!
Call ahead to make sure when Laura’s in the store, so she can do your consultation. Then I have not had the issue with the store not being open at posted hours.
Great little find. Service like this is tough to find!

Wedding Horror! If the bride had not insisted we use this dress shop, I would have RAN as fast as I could away from this establishment.
The WAY over-​priced dress ended up costing $ 247.00. My Aunt said she could have made the same dress for $ 30.00 or less. And I believe her.
The dress looked homemade in a bad way. The dress seams did not line up and it was not pressed or steamed. The finishing looked shoddy and cheap.
Caution! The initial estimate was $ 215.00 but then taxes and extra charges were thrown on… She doesn’t inform you of this during your first visit so be prepared to spend more than she quotes. Also, when my hubby went to pick up the dress, she tried to charge him even MORE money!!! And, another bridesmaid had luckily held onto her initial $ 100 deposit receipt because Laura told her that she still owed a $ 100 deposit! Beware!!!
Another Caution! Laura only takes checks for deposits only. In order to pick up your final dress, you must have cash. (I think she does this because otherwise people would pick up their dresses and cancel their checks due to the poor dress quality.)
The mother of the bride elected to not even pick up her finished dress because it was so poorly made. She had to go out and buy a dress to wear because the one Laura made was ill-​fitted and tacky looking.
Also, her website and business cards state, «Hablas Espanol!» They should probably say, «I also speak a little English!» Be prepared to have communication problems and receive phone calls that are unintelligle.
For a smooth, blissful wedding, stay away from Laura’s Bridal!!!
UPDATE: Yesterday my hubby went to return the tuxedo’s. And although the posted hours show that the store opens at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday, Laura did not arrive to open the shop until 11:00 a.m. The unprofessionalism just keeps coming!
