The Collective Bride

I bought my wedding gown from here last year and I had a wonderful experience. I walked into the store after having done my research on the gown I knew I wanted, the owner, June, was very helpful and accommodating. She was able to find and order my dress for $ 600 less than the bridal salon I tried it on at. Throughout the ordering and alterations, June was kind enough to store my gown free of charge, even when I told her I had to change the date of the wedding because my father passed away. I lived in Sacramento and she was always kind enough to make appointments after hours with the alterations lady for me to make it in on my schedule.
What I will say, is that June is a businesswoman. She is very down to earth and very blunt, and she will not sugar coat anything for you. Personally, this is a trait I really appreciated in a bridal showroom, where there is a constant threat of haggling and upselling. June has a very refreshing and honest personality.
Janice, the alterations lady is the true gem here though. I have recommended The Collective Bride many times simply based on how truly wonderful she is. Not only did she alter my complicated gown multiple times as I lost over 40 lbs of weight, but she added these phenomenal something blue bustling ribbons underneath that made me cry when I saw them! It was such a lovely and thoughtful touch. Her prices were so low for the work and love she put into fixing my gown I couldn’t help but tip her graciously. Absolutely the best experience I could have hoped for.

This is the best bridal store by far. Their customer service is amazing. It made my special day just that much better. If you’re looking for a special dress definitely go there first. They have the latest fashions and great prices. I love this store!!!

Janice is so sweet! I wish she was the owner but she’s the one that does the alternations.

I went up to this shop in Yuba City-​an hour from my home-​because I heard there was a fantastic shop in that area. I wasn’t sure which shop was recommended because there are two in that city. I made an appointment with June, the owner, and knew it must be this shop with an owner named June. My wedding date is May 29^th. June asked me to send her a list of all the dresses I was interested from my bridal magazines. I sent the list and knew she had my top pick in the store already. I went to this shop with my mother at 10 a.m.on a Saturday-​my mom and I asked for coffee and the owner, June, left to Starbucks for us immediately. June refused any money for our coffees-​we had to insist. The dress selection was amazing. I have to say the dresses that were picked for me in addition tot he ones I had requested were already pulled and waiting for me. These samples were immaculate, clean, and pristine. A young woman assisted me in and out of all the dresses-​she reached up under them and pulled them down over my hips-​each of them either fit or was clipped expertly. Then the young woman assisted my technology defied mother to take photos of me in every dress from the front and back so I could later review all the options. The third dress was the winner, but I tried them all. June made a list of my top three favorites and told me what each would cost off the floor and what it would cost new. I had other stores to visit before making my decision, and they were very understanding. I went back a second time to try a few on again and there was one more at 50% off that almost won. But, the next day I called and ordered the third one I tried on. I knew it was perfect. The Maggie Sottero Abigail: all lace, strapless, a court train, and with a built in corset. So divine. I am so happy with my choice. You get Bridal magazines for a year when you subscribe, so I have reviewed the new releases often. Her shop still has the best selection and best service. It was the right shop in Yuba City.

The WORST bridal shop I have ever been in. The clerks are so rude. When I walked in they were both sitting down and did not even bother getting up to greet me. The older lady had her face down in her phone and didn’t even acknowledge I was there even when I was standing right next to her. I didn’t even bother to look around at their selection after that lack of class! I would not recommend at all. There are plenty of shops in the area as well as sacramento that make you feel like they want your business. I’ll spend my money elsewhere. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the business fails due to very poor customer service.

Great customer service and wonderful selection. We were given great amounts of attention while trying on MANY different dresses. We went back a second time after shopping around. They were happy to accommodate us without an appointment. Once we found the dress we were given a superb deal and able to keep our $ local! I would recommend this store over the other local store in a heart beat.

I really recommend this place, especially in Yuba City.
very very helpful, friendly and welcoming.
Love my experience there for the first time.

Beautiful selection of dresses, higher quality and more unique than the ones you will find at the big stores in Roseville. However, since these are designer dresses they also come with a larger price tag, but this is definitely a case where ‘you get what you pay for’ because you can tell the difference as soon as you put one on. They have sample sales, so that may help if you are on a tighter budget.
The 2 ladies who work in the store are very helpful and friendly. They will be honest with you and tell you what does/doesn’t look good instead of just trying to sell you something. They let me try on as many dresses as I wanted and did not rush me through my appointment after an hour like some stores in Roseville did.
The seamstress Janice is very accommodating, reasonably priced and helped me by completing all alterations within 2 weeks since I was moving.
Check out their Mother of the bride dresses as well. My mom and I had looked all over for dresses for both of us and we were both able to easily find the perfect dresses here. Definitely worth the drive!
I will recommend Collective Bride to any bride or Mother of a bride who is looking for a beautiful dress.

I came here to rent a crinoline (big pouffy slip) for Halloween and they were the only shop nearby renting them. The saleslady did help me nicely. There was a varied selection of «pouffiness», nice. They charged over $ 35. That was Ok, And I must says that they were accommodating when I returned very next day to get the biggest pouffy slip because my dress needed that one. I was content until I discovered the slip had an inoperative zipper (there were two big safety pins supplied so they knew about it) I told the clerk about the zipper and my friend offered to fix it if they gave me a discount, no they had their own seamstress. But she could not repair it before the day I needed it. So over a barrel I took the zipper-​less crinoline home. And when I turned it inside out to fluff it up I discovered it was Dirty! Adding insult to injury… Also you should be aware they not open Sun. or Mon. So when I forgot to return it Sat, they did mention not open Sun., I had to wait until Tuesday… Here’s hoping they don’t charge me a late fee. Yeah! No Late Fee.

Very cute shop! I tried on dresses here a few weeks ago and it was a pleasant experience! It is small so the selection is small but what they do have is beautiful and makes up for it! The two women who helped me were soo wonderful and sweet. I did not purchase my dress here, but if i had found the ONE i would have definitely bought from them! I would definitely make an appointment since its small and i cant imagine fitting two brides in here with all there family and friends!

Went in to the shop looking for a specific Alfred Angelo dress because I’d rather buy local than go to Roseville and contribute to that city. The women in there were great. They stayed open later and I actually found another dress I fell in love with. I put it on layaway until my mom could send me the rest of the money for the dress. In the mean time we were informed we were PCSing and needed to bump everything up from 8 months away to 3 weeks away. We decided to elope to South Lake Tahoe and I needed a simpler dress and needed it in a hurry. They were very understanding and helped me find a simpler dress and put the money I’d put down on the other dress towards the new one. The seamstress they use also worked quickly and added accents to the dress for me to make it my own.

I purchased my wedding dress at the Collective Bride for my ⁹⁄₂₅ wedding. My dress was an Allure C157 and I got THE most amazing deal on it by purchasing their sample for $ 1K. The service I received at the Collective Bride was exceptional and they worked with me and my family every step of the way.
Their seamstress, Janice, is superb and her rates are extremely reasonable. She did a bustle, a hem from the waist and took in the bust all for $ 200. She did my father’s suit alterations and my stepmother’s dress alterations for $ 65.
I would highly recommend any bride go to Collective Bride.

This place was terrible, and I hate to say it. but blantly racist, and im not one to pull the race card. I went in with my friend after stopping at the car wash next door to look around this small boutique and the first thing they say when we walked in the door was a snyde comment about how I parked in their parking lot but came walking over from the car wash (there were all of two cars in a lot big enough for 14).there were no smiles, both employees didnt even get up to help us the entire time. At first I tried to credit it to bad customer service, but the look of disdain on the woman’s face when my friend would speak was repulsive and she proceeded to ask in such a judgemental tone «why are you just getting your dress now?»” so, do you work? where do u live?” «well, what is even your price range?» my friend responded «two», the woman simply points to some back closet and says there is the sales rack ovr there. my friend walks to the front of the store and was looking at a dress and said «this one is pretty!» the lady quickly responded «oo that one is really expensive. too much for you, its 1600» my friend responded to clarify that her ‘two’ meant two thousand. the lady and her correspondant proceeded to justify the assumtion that we would be referring to a lower amount and follow up with «you should make an appointment, we are open late on wed.» when asked if an appointment was necessary they said «no, you are probably just wanting to finish making your rounds.» after I alrsy told my friend I was in no hurry… it was wed. the day we were there and obviously they were not busy. needless to say we left, in all the years i have lived in yuba city I have never been made to feel so looked down upon and disliked for no reason. I would advise against going to this place, besides. their selection wasnt quite up to par anyways.
