Pebbles Bridal

Went to a few shops in the area, Pebbles was by far the best! Great customer service both times I went. Beautiful dresses in a range of prices. Would highly recommend!

I originally bought a dress in haste at David’s Bridal. 2 months later, I started second guessing and started searching online for a new dress. I found myself in love with Maggie Sottero dresses (Melanie to be exact), so I googled local retailers who carried them and that’s how I ended up here.
I am giving them 5 stars for multiple reasons.
1. Good selection of dresses. This was only the 3^rd bridal shop I’ve been to, but I got to physically walk through the aisles and look at their dresses. They seemed to have a good selection and not a bunch of dresses that seemed to be from decades ago (and not in a good, vintage way). I found out recently that one of my friends purchased her dress from there and thought their selection was good as well.
2. Attentiveness. They listened to what I was looking for and brought dresses that were very close to what I liked and were not WAY over budget (I told them this was the second purchase, budget was going to be a priority). At one point I had referenced a dress that I saw, they said they were considering it too but it was out of my budget so they didn’t bring it over.
3. Service. They were very helpful, informational, and NOT pushy. At the end of the visit, they wrote the styles I liked, the price, the reasons I liked them, so I could keep shopping. I like that I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision on the spot.
It took me awhile and a few failed visits to find it second hand in the right size and color, and I was close to just purchasing it new since I’d be cutting it close to the 6 – 9 month window before my wedding. But in the end, budget (and timing) WAS an issue, so I decided to buy a dress second hand that was «close enough». If it weren’t for this, I would have happily given my business to Pebbles.
I am a wedding coordinator in the OC area, and will gladly refer Pebbles to my future brides.

I previously reviewed Pebbles regarding my shopping experience but this time I’ll be raving about the alterations and post-​wedding hoopla =) Kudos to Karla who is their on-​site seamstress. I had a lot of alterations/​requests and she was so nice and patient to put up with me. I don’t like giving people a hard time and I know my indecisiveness can sometimes be displeasing, but I’m so relieved that she didn’t bite my head off when I asked for some last minute changes!
The customer service remains absolutely outstanding. I ordered my veil here and luckily Monica noticed some «imperfections» on the veil that I didn’t pick up, so she immediately called the veil shop and ordered me a new one.
It has been a month since my wedding and I still receive many compliments on my dress. I’m a baggy shirt and jeans type of girl so a lot of my friends and family were very surprised that I chose a fit and flare. My only complaint… I’ll never wear it again =(

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
My wedding dress shopping didn’t start off very well. Our first stop we made that morning we had had a bad experience from the time we walked in. Our 2^nd stop we made was at PEBBLES BRIDALS, and literally from the moment we walk in & saw our first dress on a manikin, then the beautiful photo’s on the wall of more dresses, our mouths just dropped. We knew THIS WAS the place.
We were greeted with the most professional ladies, they all had the biggest smiles & helped with filling out our basic information. Monica was our assistant and I couldn’t have asked for such a warm hearted person. Susie & all the other ladies were just as kind and attentive to us. I told Monica exactly what I was looking for & every dress she picked I loved. I couldn’t stop crying, because she knew my invision (and I hadn’t even tried the dresses on yet!) She was so genuine, so warm and loving and I loved everything about her. She made me feel so beautiful and special not to mention my family LOVED her! Honestly, Susie & all the other ladies were just as wonderful.
I have to say this is the place to go to where you will have so many dresses to choose from. The sitting area was perfect for my whole family, not crowded or small at all. There was another Bride trying on a dress with her family on the other side of the room, but it was like we had our own private areas.
We cried with so many of the dresses, but the dress I choose was actually 1 of the first 5 that Monica picked from the beginning. She made sure to have me try on other dresses before I made my final choice, which made me feel even more confident that that was the dress I wanted.
Thank you PEBBLES BRIDAL for your warm hearts & being there not only for me but my whole family. This honestly was one of the BEST experiences I will NEVER forget. 5 ***** by far!!!

I came in to try on dresses and worked with Patty while she was training a new employee. She was very nice and a pleasure to work with. I did not order the day I tried on the dress but came in a few weeks later and was helped by the manager. Also super friendly and professional. Great experience thus far. Picking up the dress in September.

This is my first Unilocal review ever, you can look at my profile as proof so I felt I had to let other brides know about Pebble’s bridal. I recently got married March 5^th, 2016 and bought my dress last year around this time. My wedding dress shopping stopped here, because I found my dream dress of course! but also for their impeccable customer service! I went to all the fancy bridal boutique shops and their customer service doesn’t even compare. First off, we came into the store as a last minute trip on a Saturday. I just Unilocaled this place after no luck at another bridal shop nearby. We walked in an hour before they were closing and everybody was so friendly and sweet! My consultant Lisette was super nice and did not pressure me at all into a sale. I was looking for a dress with bling factor and all the dresses I tried on elsewhere didn’t do it. If I liked the silhouette of the dress, the other stores would just say put a bling belt on it and I felt that wasn’t enough for me. We found a dress that I liked here and there wasn’t any bling on it. I mentioned that I liked a bling design on another dress I tried on elsewhere but I wasn’t sold on the actual dress so Monica, the owner said they can look into creating a custom bling on the dress for me! Monica and Lisette then grabbed sashes and pinned them on my dress so I can see in person how the dress will look in the end. So instead of saying they can do it. They took initiative and mocked up my dream dress on me! Karla, their seamstress is a magician! The entire bling embroidery is hand beaded, it took several fittings over a span of 6 months and in the end it was worth it! It looked like my dress came with it and nothing was added to it. I wish I can do wedding dress once again with Pebble’s bridal! Thank you so much Monica, Lisette and Karla! This was the best part of my wedding planning for sure.

i had just started my dress shopping experience and was not planning on buying a dress. after a really terrible experience of being forced into ugly dresses at david’s bridal down the street in brea, i waltzed into pebbles since i was nearby and knew they did not need appointments. i came in on a saturday an hour before they were set to close, but everyone who worked there was so nice, sweet, and helpful. i never felt pressured to buy a dress during my entire time shopping there, but i ended up buying one anyway! my dress came in really quickly and although i ended up gaining a lot of winter weight and not fitting in the dress as nicely as initially, the workers were super sweet and made tons of suggestions to make me feel better (luckily i ended up losing the weight!)
i even came back (despite living 40 miles away) to use the in store credit to buy a bridal belt that i fell in love with.

The whole process of ordering dresses here was lack luster but I loved the bridesmaids dresses we found there so we ordered them. Originally when the bridesmaids went to get measured they were told they were in completely different colors then were chosen, even though you fill out a form with the bridesmaids names and color and style number. I had to call multiple times to confirm that they had everything correct because of this. Of the three bridesmaids dresses we ordered only one came in correct. The zipper was busted on one, and the measurements on the other one was taken incorrectly. They used the waist measurements as the bust, the girl there even said it and they refused to do anything about it. They don’t do alterations so they couldn’t fix them or even offer a discount since both dresses have to be fixed. I’m really disappointed in the complete lack of customer service and will definitely never be back nor recommend this place to anyone.

Got my wedding dress here. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I tried my dress like 5 different times and they welcomed me every time. No appointment necessary which was really convinient.

I went to pebbles after a long day of dress searching with my bridesmaids. Not only did I love that we could all just walk in with no appointment needed but we were greeted with such a friendly welcome it made me feel more at ease about the whole dress buying experience.
The selection of dresses and designers were amazing and the prices are great as well. Especially because most of the dresses i tried on came with a store credit I could use towards my alterations later. After trying on more then a few dresses I narrowed it down to two but couldn’t choose without my mom and sister being there. With no pressure from my amazing consultant Patty she wrote down my two favorites and told me to bring them back whenever was convenient for us. No pressure or pushing to buy like I had got from the other bridal stores I’d gone to. The next day I brought my mom and sister with me and with there help and I think her name was Monica i ordered my dress and I could not be happier with my choice.
Save yourself some time and check out pebbles I probably would still not have a dress if I hadn’t checked it out myself.

Overall I had a great experience, and I loved my wedding dress. Pebbles Bridal was the last store I went to when trying on dresses, and the staff was extremely helpful. When I bought my dress they gave me a $ 200 credit which I could use towards my alterations, which helped since I had a few adjustments to make. I ended up buying my veil and belt in LA since it was more reasonable, but they were able to attach my belt to my dress with no problems. The only reason I am not giving pebbles bridal 5 stars is because of alterations. Although my dress fit me perfectly on my wedding day, I felt very rushed by the seamstress and like I was wasting her time. The first meeting with the seamstress went extremely well, and I felt very confident that she would do a good job. My second appointment however felt more rushed and like the were trying to rush me out of the store. I ended up having to have 3 alteration appointments because on the second appointment the dress was still to big, and my belt has lost some stones. On last appointment I felt very rushed again. Monica, the manager stepped in to answer my questions and help properly tie my dress. I was also told on my first alteration that my sister would be showed how to tie the bustle, however the seamstress tried to tell us that she drew us a diagram. Thank goodness my sister was there and was persistent in having her show us how to do it, or else we would have never figured it out the day of… There was over 20 buttons. Overall my dress couldn’t have turned out any better, but I do think they could have spent more time on the alterations and not rushing the bride.

If you’re not a bride, don’t expect to be treated as a customer.
The only reason why I give it another star is because they let us try on the bridesmaids dresses without feeling like we were being watched. And also because it opens on a Sunday.
The place was pretty busy on a Sunday and all the workers were busy helping customers. We were not even greeted with a hello, yes I understand, but I didn’t feel welcome at all.

I love that this place is open on Saturday, I also I love that you don’t need an appointment. The lady that helped me was really nice, I didn’t get pressured to buy. I was looking for a ball gown and all though the ones she showed me were lovely they were not full enough for me. I liked a lot about this place but wish they had more variety.

Kylie was awesome. I only went in for a veil, fortunately they had my dress i bought from another store so it was ment to be, veil was prefect n went with my dress, im in love. The manager also GREAT, thx Monica n Kylie :)

I couldn’t quite decide between four and five stars, so let me explain why five stars was the end result:
I never received anything but pleasant customer service from the staff, especially from Patty. who I think is the manager. They were patient with me finding my dress (although they had exactly what I wanted and I bought the second one I tried on). They had an amazing selection. I did a lot of research before I went into the store and I knew the designers that I could afford to buy and they were fully stocked with all of the dresses I had seen on
, etc.
Not long after getting engaged, I called and told them we had some family issues to attend to and my wedding was going to be pushed back almost six months. «No Problem!» was the response I got. They would hold my dress there as long as I needed.
Not long after THAT, we learned that my fiancé was getting a job across the country. «No Problem!» was the response I got. I said I was hesitant to put the dress on the moving truck and I couldn’t fit it in the car while driving to my new home. «Of course!» they said, «we completely understand! Call us when you get there and we’ll ship the dress right out to you!»
Just as they said, they shipped the dress out to me when I asked, and it came perfectly packaged and is hanging in my closet.
They had a special going on at the time I purchased my dress, that I could get a certain percentage of store credit to go towards alterations, accessories, or bridesmaids dresses. It was a lot, something like 20% of the cost of the dress or something. Anyways, I wanted a belt for my dress that they had. But only the display was available, it had been discontinued I guess. The belt would have been more than my store credit, but they were willing to just trade my store credit for the belt outright. I thought that was pretty easy, so I went for it!
The ONLY teeensy tiny problems that made me think about 4 stars:
The belt needs to be cleaned and pressed since its been sitting in a display case for who knows how long. I asked them to have it cleaned and pressed at no extra charge. They were kind of snappy with me about it and refused. I didn’t really think I was asking that much, in the end I couldn’t imagine a different belt and I don’t really care if I have to spend extra money to have it fixed up myself. It was more like it seemed a little bit stingy for them to flat out refuse to have it done, especially since they send the gowns out for cleaning and pressing anyways…
They forgot to put my belt with my dress when they shipped it to me. Well… actually they forgot to fill out the paperwork that I got the belt at all. Patty (bless her heart) remembered me wanting the belt and thank god it was still there. But whoever I spoke to confirming that I wanted the belt didn’t write it down I guess. Slightly annoying.
BUUUUTTTT– I just called and had it straightened out. They are sending me the belt today and they didn’t ask for me to pay shipping on it. I think that’s pretty good of them. And when I hung up with Patty just now, I thought I would take the time out to write a good review, knowing how much they (but especially Patty) deserved a good review.
That is why they get 5 stars. If I spent $ 10K on my dress I’d be irritated about the small inconveniences, but if you want a Carolina Herrera or Oscar De La Renta experience, you’re going to have to shell out for it. This store is exactly how it should be. You get what you pay for and this store didn’t disappoint.
PS Thank you Patty, for making my life SO much easier. If you hadn’t worked with me so well, moving my dress could have been a nightmare, but you made it so easy. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.

My mother, sister, and I went on a binge of wedding dress shopping this weekend and out of all the stores we went to, Pebbles is the one I will be going back to to say «yes!» — for the dress and so much more.
Pebbles is walk-​in only. We went on a weekday afternoon and practically had the entire salon to ourselves. There were maybe one or two other brides trying on during my entire time there. I would highly recommend going in on a weekday as my fabulous consultant said it can get more crowded on the weekends. Either way, the service and attention I got there was awesome. There was no limit put on my time there. I could stay as long as I needed to find «the one» or until I was just ready to leave.
My budget was $ 2500. When I told this to the owner, she said I could pretty much have a pick at any of their dresses. I only pulled a few that were slightly over budget. Mostly all other dresses were under. They also had the exact dress I tried on at another store, but it was about $ 350 cheaper. The dress I will be going back to order is way under budget at $ 1300, and looks so beautiful — YES! The dress is also something I didn’t know I wanted, but being able to take my time there, I was able to try everything and really visualize myself as the bride I want to be.
I thought that Pebbles had a wonderful selection of wearable gowns. I say «wearable» because we went to a few other salons where the dresses were just way too couture for me. Gowns that I would look back on and think «what was I thinking?». Pebbles has so many classically gorgeous bridal gowns of different styles. Timeless, elegant, just beautiful gowns that all brides can feel great in and look back on the photos 30 years from now and still be happy with their choice.
Lastly, they let you take pictures! They’re so kind and not pushy at all. We went to a few other «up-​scale» salons that didn’t allow photos until you actually paid and committed to a dress. That bothered me. Pebbles is so NOT pretentious and allows you do dress shopping the way it should be! Definitely a place for the down-​to-​earth bride who just wants to look gorgeous and feel special on her wedding day without breaking the bank.

Pebbles Bridal is nothing short of wonderful. THINGS THIS BRIDAL SHOP IS NOT: pretentious, overpriced, small-​minded or exclusionary.
I visited Pebbles with my mother and daughter on a Saturday (with no appointment, no less) and we were welcomed with warm smiles and positive attitudes. Here are the top 5 reasons I would recommend Pebbles to any bride:
1) Pebbles has some of the most beautiful dresses you’ve ever seen. No really — they are simply lovely and they have a wide array of styles, materials, embellishments, etc. to choose from.
2) The bridal consultants are top notch. Each one had positive things to say and good suggestions about proper fitting, potential alterations, etc. They were also very down to earth, which made it easier to speak candidly about my dress wants/​needs.
3) The shop itself feels both comfortable and *special* at the same time, with plenty of room for bridal parties to hang out while the bride selects dress options.
4) We had a fairly short timeline (just under 3 months) and they did not judge or say no once. They found gorgeous dresses for me to try on that fit my budget and my timeframe.
5) The pricing was great. «The dress» turned out to be on sale, so I was able to add some very special touches that might not have been an option if I maxed out my budget from the jump.
I purchased my wedding dress and all of the bridesmaid dresses at Pebbles. If you’re still looking for YOUR special dress, do yourself a favor and call them today! =)

I had been looking for months in San Diego, going to 4 – 5 dress places a weekend to no avail. I felt like the people selling the dresses were pushy and not really listening to what I wanted. A friend told me a rumor that you don’t leave pebbles without a dress and I had to give it a try. I drove just under 2 hours to get here, and I am so grateful I made the trip!
I first went in August, and found my dress on the first go. I had been looking for so long, I never thought I would find it. Don’t judge this place by the front, it looks out of place in the business park it is in, but trust me the inside is amazing. The ordering process was easy, and there were no hidden fees. I got the dress altered there, even though it was a drive and am glad I did, the alterations person is a artist!
I ended up finding my perfect veil here too, shocking with how picky I am. This place has everything and has very reasonably priced items. Mine was a full length a-​line lace dress, and it was just under $ 1,200. In San Diego they would have laughed at that budget, but at Pebbles they find a way to make it work.
Monica the store manager is my girl! She made it such a great experience. They are all about you here, and that was nice after so many stores that weren’t. If you’re not sure where to go, start here! I stand by the rumor, they have something for everyone.

I found my gown here today and I loved everything about my experience at Pebbles Bridal!
A week before coming in, I spoke with the store manager Monica over the phone about a particular designer dress I was loving. She was so friendly and professional over the phone that I instantly had a great feeling. She had that style dress shipped over from the other store so I could see it when I came in!
Patty, my bridal consultant was beyond awesome! Monica and her combined had such a great variety of dresses and their fav pic was the gown I chose!
The other gals in the store were also super friendly and there is just an all-​around great energy in the place! Thank you Pebbles Bridal!!!

If you are the smarter, more savy, and research finding do it yourself type bride… This is for you! Unilocal,google, consignments, second hand bridal gowns, and LA Garment District. tried it all. Probably spent the few hundred in research. Nothing touches the quality, price and outstanding service at Pebbles.
There are a few important points we miss as brides. is all the stress worth the money? At Pebbles I found THE DRESS I would base my search on and no one had it close in design or price. I wish Monica would have said do it the hard way (your way) see you in 3 months. Haha Monica is so sweet, professional, genuine, knowledge, patient and extremely humble. Her assistant Kayley (I believe) exudes the same qualities and continually impressed me with her patience and easy going personality. She made me extrenly comfortable, and wasn’t afraid to think outside the box which saved my dress of my dreams.
I bought my Stella York dress here and could not be happier! Getting married in Hawaii, I thought a cheap dress is the way to go and cheap dress equals just that. Other bridal boutiques even said you need to go back there, we can’t come close to that dress in design or price. Having a dress that is well designed structally and knowing either beach, grass, concrete, or ball room all dresses come back needing to be cleaned. Monica was amazing each time I called, everytime I came back.
Take the Pebbles challange and remember, ENJOY THE PROCESS! These wonderful ladies at Pebbles Bridal are the professionals, Trust Them!
