Haute Bride

I tried on my first dresses here last weekend. My consultant was Malorie and she was fantastic. As she was talking with me it felt as if I was talking to a friend that I had known for years! I found some beautiful dresses here thanks to her. I definitely need to come back and go for a round two (since this was my first time, I tried on a little bit of everything, now that I have narrowed down the style I want, I need to come back and try again!)
I highly recommend this salon. The décor and feel is very simple and beautiful and the staff was very welcoming and friendly.

Went to the shop for jewelry as I had heard they sell custom pieces. Really beautiful! The shop is amazing and the sales staff so friendly and adorable. I will definitely go back when the time is right and «he» pops the question! I look forward to working with Haute Bride to find the perfect dress. In the meantime, I will just buy jewelry! I can see the level of professionalism and love the style of the shop. I look forward to the day I can book an appointment for a dress!

I chose this spot for the bride to start her search for her wedding dress because I expected great service.
The shop is adorable in downtown Los gatos. The girls greet you and are nice .
I was disappointed when the bride told me she felt rushed. The girl helping her said «you have 55 minutes now» as she was shopping. I understand you book people in hour slots but that doesn’t make for a great experience to feel like you are being rushed in and out like cattle. Especially since most dresses are over 3k. You need more than an hour to decide if you are going to spend that kind of money on a dress.
The dress selection was small and the samples were very tattered and in some cases dirty.
All in all cute spot, nice girls. But I just expected better selection and service from this place.

This place was really clean and cute! Wasn’t really big but they did have good variety.
So I visited 6 – 7 bridal shops already. They usually try to be super nice to you and make sure you are happy so I would purchase from them. However, this coordinator who helped me wasn’t interested in selling. She didn’t clip it right so the dress was loose and she acted like we won’t buy from them anyways so she doesn’t need to care about me that much. She asked for my budget which I told her I don’t have any cause I’ll buy whatever I want to for my wedding. But for some reason, she seemed like she didn’t want to help us because it’s waste time. I was very irritated. After we left the shop, even my sister felt like so too. If both us felt that way, there must be something wrong about it. I don’t know if she was racist or didn’t want to work that day or what. But definitely didn’t make me feel good.

MOLLY at haute bride was amazing. I went in numerous times & tried on my wedding gown probably 20 times before I actually purchased it. She was amazing during all my fittings & always gave me her honest opinion, which I loved & appreciated.
Haute bride has a gorgeous selection of gowns & accessories. I ordered all my bridal accessories from them & all their items are made with quality materials & Swarovski crystals. The ONLY ISSUE was with their ALTERATIONS. The lady they outsource alterations to never had my alterations ready on time & was always changing the alteration prices. I paid as much in alterations costs as my gown costs, which was sort of insane.
However, you can always take your gown elsewhere for alterations. Overall, loved my gown!!! Definitely recommend.

My review of Haute Bride is for a recent visit searching for a wedding dress for my daughter. I have experience working in the fashion industry, most recently in the dress and bridal department at Nordstroms. The staff at Haute had very little knowledge of dresses in general, which left them incapable of making recommendations, which most bridal stores offer. The selection and sizes of dresses at this boutique is minimal and the floor samples seem to be outdated.

Haute Bride was one of the first bridal shops I went to for a dress, and they really set the bar high in terms of standards. I went to a few other shops afterwards but their service and quality wasn’t comparable so I ended up going back. They only schedule a couple of appointments at a time so you have someone working with you the entire time you are there. Other places in the area have less staff and try to book too many appointments to make more money, so you end up waiting in between fittings because each stylist is working on 5 people at a time.
I have to give a huge shout out to Molly & Julie who are AMAZING! They treated me as if I was their only client while I was there. I told them the style I was looking for, even showed them picture examples, and they picked out a number of options and made some really good suggestions. They also had a really good selection of dresses, and even told me when they were hosting trunk shows, so I ended up getting my dress at a discounted price :)
Once my dress came in, I wanted to make some customizations to it but needed extra lace. Molly was awesome and called the designer on the spot to ask them if they could send me more lace. The responded immediately and sent me additional lace for my tailor to use within a week, all for free!
Honestly, my experience with Haute Bride could not have gone any better. I loved the staff and the service was top noch. My bridesmaids came with me to my first appointment and some of them have already gone back to look at dresses for their own wedding!

By far the best wedding boutique in the Bay Area. I drove 1.5 hours to come to Haute Bride because of the awesome dress lines they carried and they’re great customer service reviews on Unilocal.I went to many other stores and nothing compared to the selection they carry, the knowledge of their employees and the bride experience I was dreaming for. Molly helped me find the perfect dress. She was very knowledgable and made me feel so comfortable and special. I was 6 months pregnant when I tried on dresses and still fit into they’re sample sizes which were definitely not a size 0 like previous comments said they were. Hello I was pregnant and a 0 wouldn’t have fit my thigh. If you’re looking for the full bridal experience and great service when you’re looking for that perfect dress this is the place to go.

I love this shop– the décor is wonderful and it couldn’t be more inviting!
I have had the pleasure of receiving two sets of earrings from this store as bachelorette gifts, and have to say I adore them both. The creativity of the jewelry designers is inspiring and every time I walk in there I am in awe of the designs and adornment. Keep it coming team!

I got married this past October so I am just now getting around to writing this review! Haute Bride is probably the most on-​trend salon in the South Bay area. The gown selections, designers, and super cute set-​up and décor assure you as soon as you walk in that they know what they are doing.
Absolutely love Lindsie, Molly, and the rest of the staff. They are laid-​back, kind, easy going and just want to make sure you find the dress for you. I had tried on dresses at about 8 plus stores, so I definitely knew what I did and did not like by the time I came to Haute Bride. The girls helping me didn’t pull anything I did not like and did not try to sway me to what they thought would be best. They knew I wanted loose, flowy, bohemian vibe and they stuck completely with pulling dresses along those lines. They made me feel comfortable and that it was totally normal that I hadn’t loved anything yet and respected the fact that I just wanted to feel like myself in a dress.
On top of both my appointments being relaxed and actually super fun, they ordered in two dresses that I loved and were by designers that they carried, even though they didn’t have those specific dresses in store. Basically, I saw something I loved and they made sure to get it into the salon for me to try on. One of those dresses ended up being the dress that I chose! The gown came with teal beading in the back, which was beautiful but not what I wanted for an October wedding, so Lindsie and the design studio (who makes all of the custom jewelry) changed out the beading by hand by switching out the teal beads for clear and white opal. I LOVED the end result, felt completely like myself on that day and seriously couldn’t have had the experience I did on my wedding day without Haute Bride :)
Highly recommended for any type of bride. They have something for everyone, the staff is so sweet, the salon is beautiful, Louie the frenchie is the cutest, and Los Gatos is such a fun cute town to make a whole day of it!

Haute bridal gave my Mom and I a wonderful experience! I recently got engaged and I wanted to try on a variety of styles to make sure what I «thought I liked» was actually what looked good on me! Brie was my consultant and she did just that! She let me try on everything and anything! She even let me shop through their racks of dresses; as well as gave me recommendations based on my shape, taste and budget! She didn’t show me anything out of my price range (unless I asked, which I did!) ha! And was very accommodating!
She even asked me «what side of myself I wanted to highlight on my wedding day?» I thought this was interesting and something I hadn’t pondered! I have 2 very distinct sides to my personality and realized during my appointment I wanted to focus on the traditional (classic) sense of myself instead of the fun loving/​goofball side! Her questions helped narrow my vision!
I did fall IN LOVE with a dress (London) but wasn’t ready to buy, Brie wrote down my favorites and told me to come back whenever I wanted after looking around and having more experiences! No hassle, no guilt, just helpful and kind! Thank you Brie for helping me be the most beautiful me I can be on that day! I WILL be back!

Coming back!

I traveled from out of town to come into Haute Bride. After doing some research and looking at pictures online, it seemed exactly like the kind of place I’d imagined I would find my wedding dress. Unfortunately, my experience was not at all how I imagined.
While I understand inexperience and lack of training may have played a small factor in my substandard bridal appointment, I don’t think that is an accurate excuse for my whole experience. Having been to many bridal appointments, not only for myself, but also for my older sister who recently got married, Haute Bride was by far the worst.
Not only were the employees not qualified for this line of work, their lack of professionalism was very off putting. While it may be true that this boutique has a wide range of styles and sizes, the employees picked out «runway sizes» for me and spent the majority of my appointment trying to squeeze me into dresses that obviously were not going to work and proceeded to tell me it was okay because «we can’t all be models». After being forced to try on these gowns, when I finally found one that I liked and knew would fit, I was told I could not try it on because my «time was up». I did not get to try on anything I picked out.
I can’t say enough how horrified I was by this appointment. I left the boutique feeling like I had completely wasted my time, as well the time of my friends and family who taken time off their busy schedules to accompany me.
Out of all my appointments, I was most excited for this one, which is why it is so disappointing. The boutique is absolutely beautiful and has amazing gowns. Unfortunately without adequate staff, I would never recommend this boutique to anyone. If making their guests and brides feel «incredibly welcome» is truly what they strive for, I would highly recommended reevaluating their employees and their qualifications because they are a huge misrepresentation.

Super cute and chic wedding dress salon in Downtown Los Gatos!
My best friend is getting married and I am her Maid Of Honor! Haute Bride was one of the first places she checked out for a potential wedding dress.
I had assumed all wedding dress stores would be pretty normal/​standard, with just dresses everywhere and no general theme other than, you guessed it, bridal. I was really pleasantly surprised when I walked into this store and saw how it was so chic, trendy and girly with a touch of rustic flair! So cute!
Also, the most adorable French bull dog greeted us at the door. Apparently he belonged to the store owner!
My friend had an afternoon appointment blocked off for one hour. She was able to try on 6 different dresses, which was pretty good! They had a pretty decent variety, and she tried on several different styles such as mermaid, fit & flare, sheath, modified A-​Line, etc. A few of the brands she tried included Matthew Christopher, Amsale, and Alvina Valenta.
The girl who helped was super talkative and helpful. She even wrote down a list of all of the dresses my friend liked with their item numbers and prices in case she wanted to come back or just remember what she tried on.
We went to two other bridal stores that day, and I definitely think that Haute Bride provided the best selection of dresses. They were more modern and unique than the other two stores. That being said, the dresses here were more expensive than the other places we went to. The dresses my friend tried on ranged between $ 3,000−6000.
Overall, I would definitely recommend checking this place! I am not sure if they have any super affordable dresses under $ 2,000, but it’s worth checking out!

I went to about 8 different stores trying to find a wedding dress, and this place is by far THE BEST! They know their stuff about each of the designers, options for the dress and all the details. They have outstanding customer service and are very accomodating. Molly Malnati was especially helpful. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Words cannot describe how much I love this store & the owner, Lindsie. Her customer service to accommodate me was impeccable and extraordinarily top notch. From walking in with a hug and offer for champagne, Lindsie was attentive to my every need. Without getting into too many details, Lindsie went above & beyond to take care of me.
If you’re looking for a wedding dress of your dreams & the once in a lifetime experience that comes along with it, Haute Bride is the place. Hands down.
Thank you Lindsie!!!

I want to go hang out at Haute Bride for an afternoon or three.
I bought my wedding gown in July in southern CA. By some good fortune, (aka obsessive online insta stalking), I found Haute Bride! My gown is a Hayley Paige gown, and I quickly learned that her accessories of choice are from this gem of a boutique. This is for VERY GOOD REASON! All of their accessories are completely customizable, high quality, modern, and GORG. Obvi.
It was scary to buy accessories from a store that I had never stepped foot in, but I am so glad that I did! I spoke to two gals there — Molly and Julie, and was so impressed with their desire to help and to get it right. They were so responsive via email and just could not have been more sweet or helpful.
Call them up or email them — you don’t have to live nearby to take advantage of the unique opportunity to customize your day!

Excellent service and an experience much above my expectations. From picking the dress initially with Sarah, who knew all the designers and accurate shipping dates, to Molly who actually helped me after a doctors appt by dropping my dress and belt off at the tailor for my fitting, I’ve been nothing but impressed by Haute Brides attentive service. You can tell they truly care about their brides and go above and beyond to make sure your dress is one of the few things you won’t have to stress about :)
I’m completely confident that my dress will be perfect for my wedding in July and I will definitely recommend them to all my friends with upcoming weddings. Thank you Haute Bride!

I know where I will be getting my dress. I haven’t ordered it yet, but I know exactly what I’m getting, and soon enough, I’ll be back to Haute Bride to place the order.
What a phenomenal experience — from the moment we walked in the door of Haute Bride until the second we left!!!
I had gone to, of all places, David’s Bridal with my sister who is one of my Maids of Honor. I’ll review them later, but long story short, it was a horrible experience (except for the part where I got to spend a little time with my sis).
My other Maid of Honor picked up a bottle of champagne and took me to Haute Bride a few days later. Molly helped me, and the experience was too good to be true! They were just so kind, wonderful, knowledgeable, reassuring, and superlative in every single way.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Haute Bride!!!

This review is long overdue! I purchased my wedding dress, sash and veil from Haute Bride back in January 2014. I had an amazing experience working with Molly. She is so sweet and very knowledgeable. I was really nervous and she totally made me feel at ease. I have been back to the store several times since and she always remembers me by name — what customer service!
Haute Bride definitely has the «high end» vibe, but they have dresses in a variety of price ranges and are very willing to work within a budget. They will also make custom adjustments to accessories, which is great. I worked with them to create a custom sash and they completely exceeded my expectations, while also being conscious of my total budget — much appreciated!
A huge thanks to Molly and the team at Haute Bride for the best dress shopping experience I could have hoped for!

I had an AMAZING experience finding my wedding dress and jewelry at Haute Bride! After a less than stellar experience at some of the bridal shops in San Francisco, a Los Gatos native friend turned me on to Haute Bride, and I am so glad she did!
Molly was a fantastic consultant; she had me in close to 10 dresses, and even more of the beautiful, handmade sashes. She was so patient while I hemmed and hawed (everything is so beautiful, it’s a hard decision!). I had my «Say Yes to the Dress» moment in Hayley Paige’s Kira gown, which I wouldn’t have tried if not for her encouragement. I came back for a bridal sash and earrings, as well as earrings and a bracelet for my rehearsal dinner. Living in San Francisco, they were so sweet to offer to mail the jewelry to me and save me a trip!
I felt so gorgeous on my wedding day! The tears in my husband’s eyes said it all.
