D’Angelo Couture Bridal

This salon has the best collection of wedding dresses and the best service. I was there visiting with my cousin and stopped by. Diane is so talented and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with her. She made selecting my cousin’s gown a great experience. We are so glad we came here and found the dress. I think every bride should visit this place first

I don’t know how I missed all this great service others received but this place was the only aspect of my wedding that made me cry MULTIPLE times. They lost dresses, my profile in their computer held the wrong information no matter who I spoke to to try and fix it, and I received the worst customer service from everyone except the owner. Diane, the owner, was the only helpful one. We ordered six dresses and never made any changes from the original order. Here’s what went wrong:
1. Ordered wedding gown in the wrong size
2. Was told I needed to make an appointment to PAY for my wedding dress with more attitude than a thirteen year old would give me. I didn’t even need a fitting, I was travelling from oregon and wanted to pick it up because they told me it was ready. She scolded me in front of a ton of customers! After witnessing that, one customer asked me if I was okay. I just stood there shocked and embarressed for wanting to give them 800 dollars.
3. Ordered dresses at the end of August, promised to have them shipped to my bridesmaids by mid december, and didn’t receive them until two weeks before my wedding at the end of February! All because there was an issue with their distributer. My bridesmaids were scrambling to get alterations done in time.
4. Shipped dresses meant for one bridesmaid to another, causing Diane to get involved again, apologize, and make everything right.
Maybe I just absorbed all the bad luck one customer can have with this place. But I would NEVER recommend. I gave two stars because in the end, after all that happened, I was just grateful Diane stepped in and all the girls walked down my aisle in the right dress.

Fantastic choices, wonderful sales people, beautiful dresses, great prices and a lovely experience. You’re missing out if you don’t include this shop when looking for a dress!

In February, D’Angelo was the first and ended up being the only place I went to try on dresses for my wedding. I had met Diane at a bridal show and they made a special arrangement for me to have an appointment at 10 on a Saturday when they normally open at 11. I had however not had anyone contact me to confirm my appointment, so I called the store a few days before to make sure they were still able to have us come. Somehow the appointment I made at the bridal show was never transferred over and they had no record. Regardless, they made the appointment for the same date and time we had talked about at the show.
I was a little nervous that we wouldn’t get the attention from a consultant or enough time because of the appointment mix up, but once we got into the store my nerves were settled.
I had most of my bridal party there, and Connie made sure there was enough chairs for all of my friends and family that came along. She asked for my budget and style I had in mind and started to pull dresses. She also allowed me and my bridesmaids go throughout the store and pull dresses as well. Each time I put on a dress she made sure to be nearby to zip up or button as necessary. If there wasn’t something I liked about a dress, she found something similar that I might like better. She also showed me some veils that I might like once I had decided on my dress as well. I never felt rushed and Connie was a wonderful consultant.

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but I’m not sure how everyone is having such an amazing experience here. I heard this was the best store and won awards from The Knot. So I was extremely excited when my bridesmaids and I went. First off, there were only two people working and none of them acknowledged us. No «welcome…hello…» nothing. There was a couple waiting as well and by the looks on their faces, I think they were having the same experience. Walking around, it didn’t feel like designer to me. It looked like a bunch of old dresses. Didn’t see very many bridesmaids dresses. And not to mention their website isn’t updated. It talks about how 2014 is here… it’s 2016!

Diane and Conny took care of me in everyday, from helping me pick the perfect dress to designing my bridesmaids skirts. They are very warm and experienced. Highly recommend!

I came to the salon in search of THE wedding dress for me. When one of the consultants, Yanelli, introduced herself, I admit I was initially disappointed. I assumed that, since she looked young, she wouldn’t be very knowledgeable. Boy, am I glad I was wrong!
Yanelli knew her merchandise and really listened to me. I loved how she suggested different gowns — and accessories too — without being the slightest bit pushy. This salon has a great selection of lace gowns and I discovered that a little bling is a good thing, even for a daytime ceremony.
I liked how Yanelli was open to my suggestions/​desires on how we could customize the dress. Also, I gave her a limit of$ 1,500 and she stayed right within my budget. I’m so excited and happy to say that I’ve found MY DRESS! Thank you Yanelli!

Bought my wedding dress from here in 2014 but not sure if the post stuck back then because I know I wasn’t an avid Unilocaler. Just have to say the owner is amazing, besides being nice and experienced… she made my idea a reality. I bought a lace dress and she made it backless, I have a heavy top so she added very thin straps for support. Thanks again! The wedding was perfect… my groom loved my dress.

I loved this bridal shop! I went here after having a bad experience at another store and it was a complete 180! The sales people listen carefully to what you like/don’t like and don’t make you feel pressured. Kristen (spelling?) was so patient and helpful. She had a lot of ideas for ways to customize a dress too.

I would highly recommend this bridal shop. I bought my dress at Demetrios but did not get much help and the staff was rude. I was looking for a lace top to add onto my strapless dress. I called and Diane had me come in. I could tell right away she knew what she was doing! I ended up getting a few things added to my dress and it looks AMAZING now! The staff was wonderful and willing to help however they could! I really felt like a bride here and I am so excited for my wedding now!

Just said yes to my dress ! The customer service here is amazing and Diane is wonderful ! Yanneli helped me find my beautiful dress, and I would recommend D ‘angelos for any girl that wants to be treated like a bride and listens to what you want! Diane takes pride in all of her dresses in her store, and it defiantly shows ! Compared to other places I went, this place is the best! The dresses are different and very well made! D’angelos made me a very happy bride today !!! Thank you !

Connie helped me with my initial appointment where I found my «almost» dream dress. Everything about it was perfect except a few tweaks I wanted to change about it. Diane did these changes with no hesitation! She was amazing! One week before the wedding I went to try it on and something wasn’t right with the fit. Diane spent 45 min. sewing (quilting) the small detail lace onto the underlay so parts of the dress would lay perfect on my body. I was completely obsessed with my dress to say the least and everyone at the wedding loved it it.
The extra things I had Diane change:
Cutting out the back so it went lower and was more rounded.
Added some lace to make the straps a bit thicker under my arms (so it would hold tighter and wouldn’t bunch
Diane takes charge and knows what she is doing. She wouldn’t ever let a bride leave semi satisfied and I had such a great experience at D’Angelo’s.

So I didn’t get my dress from here but 5 stars for being awesome customer service.
I called a whim after being kicked out after an hour of my bridal appointment at a different salon. The lady let me and a few of my friends in and tried on dresses between her her appointments. She let us take any many dresses out and help zip occasionally. She saved my day. She told us to stay as long as I needed to find the right dress and gave me some great tips. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience at D’Angelo’s. I scheduled an appointment ahead of time and arrived with a group of 4. We went to a popular chain store first and D’Angelo’s second. D’Angelo’s had a better selection of lace dresses and I really liked the boutique setting, décor and overall feel of the shop more than the chain store. Connie was awesome and really made us feel comfortable. I showed her some pictures on Pinterest of my dream dress and went over my budget. She let us walk around and pull dresses while she pulled a couple as well. I ended up going with the dress Connie suggested. She found a dress that looked almost identical to my dream dress and she was able to work with me on the price.
I read the previous review about the pillow they use to stuff in the back to pull the dress tight in the front. I personally liked this more than just relying on clips. The first bridal store only used clips and the dress ended up looking too bulky on me. The clips just didn’t cut it. You don’t have to use the pillow but I recommend it if you’re a petite bride.
After selecting the dress, we sipped on champagne and Connie took some group pictures for us. She also gave my mother and I a thank you gift.
I cannot comment on alterations yet but I’m confident Diane will do a great job adding sleeves and a belt. I will update my review when I pick up my dress.

So I was reminiscing about my wedding tonight and we got into conversation about my dress. Now, let me start by saying my initial experience with Diane was fabulous. She helped me try on different styles and offered great feedback. This experience earned her 1 star. After that, everything went downhill. I found «the dress» and paid $ 740 for her to order my size. I expected that to be done. When I called a month from my wedding to check in on it, we scheduled a time for me to try it on. I came in and tried on a size 20. A size friggin 20!!! I was a size 6 – 8 at the time. She tried to tell me it was because of my chest, but they are not size 20 boobies. I was so upset and started crying while calling my husband. The thing was a sleeping bag on me. Your wedding day is supposed to make you feel beautiful and here was the woman making me feel the opposite. Long story short, she sold me a floor sample, never ordered the dress I paid for and thank god for Cynthia, my miracle worker seamstress who fixed it as best she could, 2 weeks before my wedding… in Aruba. Word of advice, get your dress order in writing. I’ve been able to deter many of my friends from this place, so beware.

Absolutely beautiful wedding dresses and great customer service. The owner Diane is a busy women but rightly so because she is the best at what she does. Just be a little patient, trust me it’s worth the wait to meet her. I was working on a budget and she didn’t turn me away because of this! She still treated me as if I was a client that was going to spend a ton of money on a dress. She made my simple inexpensive dress into a beautiful dress that I envisioned just by a few suggested alterations. Thank you so much Diane for your hard work!

Amazing wedding dress shopping experience! I worked with Connie and she was so amazing, she gave me lots of different styles to try on and helped me find the perfect dress within my budget.
They have dresses here to fit any budget, including sale items and custom orders. I ended up buying a dress and ordering custom alterations to make it look just right!
After going to other bridal shops, I realized even more that this shop is helpful, has a great selection, and is willing to work with every bride to get the perfect dress!

I got married 10/​17/​2015. I loved my dress sooo much! Diane is the BEST! Going to my fittings and talking and laughing with her made my experience that much more fun and personal. I originally purchased this one jacket but she suggested another and it was perfect! Family and friends of the wedding thought I walked out of a bridal magazine! Very happy with my purchase and the accommodations of Diane! The white sheet I reccommed as well. It helped so my dress didn’t get dirty! I’m so glad I bought my dress from D’ Angelo’s. Diane is one of a kind. I appreciated that she didn’t alter so far out of my wedding as well. I lost more weight and the last fitting she took it in and got it back 2 days prior. The dress fit perfectly! Ladies who are looking for something different go to this place and work with Diane! You won’t be dissapointed!

I seriously LOVE this place!
To be honest, I was dreading going into a dress shop; I don’t enjoy shopping and I hate when I can’t look around a store without a sales person stalking me.
I was happily surprised that I was able to browse around the store without someone trailing behind me. Diane and her team were super helpful and they do take appointments if you’d like to have a more personal experience while shopping.
They have a huge selection of gorgeous Wedding Dresses, Brides Maid Dresses, Accessories, and handmade Vails. The prices are really reasonable and have a lot of ranges for anyone on a budget or just looking for the perfect dress. I definitely found a lot of really beautiful ones and THE DRESS!

From the minute my sister and I walked in, we were immediately greeted by Diane (the owner). She was entertaining and very friendly. She sat and listened to what my sister wanted in her dress and wrote everything down and even gave my sister her own twist.
My sister consultant was Christine. She was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable in all the dresses in the store and what would look fantastic on my sister.
There were NO rules to follow (like David’s Bridal) and I was able to pull dresses of the rack to have my sister try on. They would even work with you budget AND provide teacher and military discounts!
The location is conveniently located on the 8 W freeway in Mission Valley. The minus one star is because they didn’t have any refreshments of any sort. Sitting there for almost 2 hours, kind of sucked with no places around to buy a drink! PLUS it was SOOOO HOT in there!
