The Bustle

After shopping with my maid of honor for her wedding dress at The Bustle, I had a premonition I would find mine there as well. What makes The Bustle stand out is its layout and its staff. It was really nice to be in a room with just my party; it felt more intimate and less chaotic than some of the other places I visited. I also really appreciated that I could pre-select some styles that I was interested in ahead of time to help my stylist get a feel for what I would be open to trying on. As someone who had no idea what type of dress I was going to wear, Emily made me feel so comfortable and never pressured me towards a certain dress or made me feel rushed, and always presented me with options within my budget. Every visit, from shopping to purchasing to picking up to alterations was as great as the next, and they certainly made me feel looked after and very special. Plus the dress was GORGEOUS!

Such an incredible experience! I loved working with all of the staff. Tam knows all of the dresses in the shop. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, but he helped me narrow down my choices by hearing each detail of what I liked and disliked. He would then pull dresses that had similarities of things I liked until I found the one!! Ashley, Peyton, and Mojan were also wonderful to work with! The bustle has an incredible collection and range. Once my dress arrived they worked with me to coordinate times in my schedule because I don’t live in SD, for the seamstress. The bustle made finding a dress so lovely and unforgettable. They also made the final fittings a breeze. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Tam was SO amazing and made my experience at The Bustle so enjoyable. I am super indecisive, so I was a little nervous about choosing a wedding dress. Tam had the perfect way of helping me to pinpoint what I liked/didn't like about each dress without any bias which I really appreciated. He chose dresses within my budget, and was super transparent if something I was thinking about adding/changing on the dress would cost extra. I can't say enough about my experience!

When I say The Bustle made it a breeze from start to finish with wedding dress shopping, I mean it. Lexi helped me with my fitting appointment and I told her my vision and sure enough she brought out my dream dress on the very FIRST pick. I put it on and instantly started crying because it was what I had been dreaming of for so many years and she helped me achieve that dream! Going back in for alterations and additional fittings was also so easy and not stressful at ALL, which is all you can hope for as a bride with no wedding planner!! They were such a treat to work with and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!!!

I had a fantastic experience at the Bustle. I found my dress the first time I went. My stylist listened to my ill conceived wants and found me the most perfect dress and incredible veil. Even though I knew it was “the one” I felt that I needed to sleep on it. I didn’t feel any pressure to buy the dress that day. I left without the dress, but with plenty of pictures and videos. After going to one other salon, I ended up coming back months later (waited for my sister to be in town) and as soon as I got back to the shop, my same stylist immediately brought out the dress and two veils. I was sold and she found the most beautiful veil to match. The dress and veil came earlier than expected and they directed me across the street to a wonderful seamstress who got the dress to fit me like a glove. I also used the bustle for preservation, and I’m very happy with that as well.

I had the best experience wedding dress shopping with The Bustle in Del Mar. The boutique is so cute, we were given champagne upon arrival, and my stylist did a great job pulling styles for me based on what I described to her. It was the third boutique I visited, and I said yes to my dress that day! Highly recommend for any bride.

I had an incredible experience purchasing my Anne Barge wedding dress at The Bustle. I worked with Emily who was warm, knowledgeable and patient. They have a huge selection of wedding dresses and a very enjoyable try on experience. I also purchased my vail from Emily. I truly believe anyone can find their dream wedding dress here. Highly recommend 10/10

After a bit of shopping around, I chose the Bustle for numerous reasons. The first being that they provided a very welcoming, and enjoyable try on experience. I made two appointments during my search, and both times I worked with Peyton who was a total sweetheart. My preferences constantly kept changing, and she ended up pulling the most perfect dress that had everything I wanted (and was beautifully custom tailored by their in-house seamstress, Ingi). I requested a customized top piece and they made it happen. Ingi even altered it one more time to make it perfect, after I had paid her, at no additional cost. I went back for my veil, and will have them preserve my dress as well. The best in San Diego!

I am more than disappointed this time around with The Bustle. I purchased my wedding dress from them 5 years ago and had a great experience then. Recently ordered a bridesmaid dress, provided measurements and they sized me in a clearly way to big of a size as they based my sizing on hip measurements for a dress that is not fitted around the hips, but claiming the size was the manufacturers recommendation based on measurements. For being experts in bridal and fitting, they should have known this to make appropriate recommendations. Will cost more than I paid for the dress for alterations. On top of this, they will not refund the dress and are standing by their sizing recommendations. Horrible customer service.

The experience of buying the correct wedding dress can be overwhelming. The Bustle Bride made everything so easy. We talked and she brought out the exact dresses for my style and price range. She did not try to up sale us. When I found the dress, I knew it was perfect. The environment of the store is intimate and you are the only concern of the store when you come in for your appointment.

I had the most amazing experience at The Bustle! My consultant Lexi was so kind, patient and really took the time to listen to what I wanted. I tried on several beautiful dresses and was able to find the one! I couldn’t have been happier with how fun and stress free everything was. Thank you Lexi and The Bustle for a great experience from start to finish!

So I thought this boutique was going to be way out of my price range, but I was wrong! My budget was around $2k (but the cheaper the better) and they had loads of dresses for me to choose from! I was pleasantly surprised! I was originally going to go to a divids bridal, and I’m so glad I didn’t! The Bustle gave me a once in a lifetime experience I didn’t even know I wanted. They gave champagne and chocolates, and each bride gets her own suit for her bridal crew! I highly recommend going!

This was the first place I went when it came time for me to look for wedding dresses and it was the most dreamy experience! My fiancé and I worked with The Diamond Daughters when designing my engagement ring and they recommended I check out The Bustle for my wedding dress. I knew this was where I wanted to start. Upon arriving, they had a welcome sign with my name on it and champagne at the ready! I was paired with Brooke and within 5 minutes of arriving and explaining what I was looking for, she already had dresses in mind for me. She was incredibly friendly, kept me calm and laughing and having fun, and she pulled so many incredible dresses that I didn’t want to take any of them off! After trying on a few dresses for about 2 hours, I was down to two dresses that I loved and ultimately fell in love with the first one she put me in. They have a beautiful selection of gowns at multiple price points to fit any budget and I felt like there were options for anything I wanted. Brooke made the entire experience so seamless and fun and stress-free. She was a joy to work with and although I didn’t say “yes” during that appointment, I would 100% return for a follow-up and highly recommend The Bustle to any bride looking for the perfect bridal experience!

LOOOOVVVVVEEEEDDDD my experience at The Bustle - I went for a dress appointment in June 2019 - after going sooooo many many different stores -thinking they would be out of my price range. BUT to my surprise not only was the place adorable and in my price range an old high school friend ended up being my lovely stylist during my appointment. Upon arrival, you are greeted with adorable details and your own personal room. The room you are put into is based on your price range so your possy can run wild without breaking the bank. Their amazing selection was unlike many of the other places I went and I ended up having my bridal moment and found THE ONE. After finding the one I got my dress exactly when expected in December 2019. Overall my experience was magical and I cannot recommend The Bustle enough if you want a special experience. One thing to note is that they do not do alterations in-house (but have a recommendation) and had a small veil collection.

My experience at The Bustle was AMAZING!!!!!! I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted. I don't even like dresses. But the people who helped me at The Bustle somehow knew exactly which dresses I would like and I ended up falling in love with so many of them. Eventually I chose the right one and while I was really worried because normally I'm a size 0/2 and they ordered me a size 8, the dress actually fit PERFECTLY. I didn't need any alterations except to shorten it because I changed the shoes I was going to wear. Not to mention, the "bride to be" experience they provide was so fun and I felt so beautiful and special!

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe how amazing my experience with The Bustle was! From the minute we all walked in, they were there for us. Amy listened to everything I wanted in a dress and was there to find me the most beautiful dress. She picked out different looks that matched the style I was going for and helped me into the dresses. I felt so comfortable the whole time. She let us browse the store to find what we liked and then found similar dresses in my price range. I spent more than I was initially imagining but I never felt like I was being pressured into spending anything more than I was comfortable with. The dresses they had were stunning and they had an amazing selection. I would have 6 wedding looks if I could!

I had the best experience at the Bustle. Amy was so amazing, she considered everything I was looking for in a dress and found the perfect dress for me! She was also so kind and welcoming, and was truly excited for me once I decided on the dress. The shop is extremely clean, cute and bright and makes for a very fun day wedding dress shopping! I truly can not recommend The Bustle enough

Growing up in San Diego, we would always drive by The Bustle and I would admire the dresses in the window, or peek into the store while picking up food at Double Happiness, and I would think to myself, “one day.” Well, now I can officially say I am a “Bustle Bride.” My mom, sister, and I came in on Saturday to find my dream dress and my consultant, Brooke, did just that and more. The Bustle shows its care for each client the moment you approach the store front and see a sign welcoming you as their “bride-to-be.” We were welcomed by Brooke and Paytin who offered us some bubbly and water (and the bubbly was very much appreciated). Brooke sat down with me and asked me questions about my fiancé, where we are getting married, and my vision for a wedding dress including things I like and do not like in dresses. She patiently listened and took notes while I shared my thoughts and talked about other dresses I have tried on. Even though I had selected some dresses on their appointment portal before coming in, they also allowed my mom, sister, and I to look over the racks and see if anything stood out to us. Brooke directed us to the right area to look that was in our budget. The first dress I tried on was beautiful, but the second dress took my breath away (and ended up being my dress). Brooke recommended some other dresses to try on just so I could make sure I was set on my decision. Besides finding my dress, Brooke was the standout moment from The Bustle. She got me in and out of dresses, and back into and out of dresses that I liked. She was supportive but not pushy and I really was able to feel that she was just there to help me feel happy and beautiful. She was always ready to grab a veil, headpiece, or belt if we asked and she is an EXPERT dress train fluffer. She also patiently endured all the staring at myself in the mirror that I did while I tried to imagine myself in each dress at my wedding. When it came down to two dresses, I never felt pushed into a decision; Brooke just asked me questions about how I felt, so it was very much my decision in the end. She patiently stood next to me holding the other dress I was considering while I looked in the mirror and made my decision. She was so, so kind. Overall, it was such a warm, happy moment and I am so glad that I found my dress at The Bustle because it has been my dream since I was a little girl. The dress was also well under my budget! I plan on coming back with my sister to look for bridesmaid dresses, too. :)

5 star experience from start to finish. Amy was such a doll. A fellow midwestern & Michigan state spartan so our connection was undeniable. They treated me like an absolute queen and welcomed me with a cute little sign out front to really make the experience one out of a movie. Amy was so genuine and personable and pulled such beautiful dresses- ones that I wouldn’t think to even try on. Overall it was such a great experience. I would recommend it to every bride in the San Diego area! 10/10

I had a horrible experience at The Bustle. I am a size 29 jeans, 34B with a small waist and $4k starting budget the sales person was bringing me size 20++ dresses that were way too big and refused to bring anything out that was closer to my size "due to legal reasons" After trying on 4 dresses that were no where near what I was even looking for, a manager came out and let me know that they did not have the brand I was looking for and basically laughed at me for asking stating that they only have the brand at "like one store in America." The snobbery in her tone was totally unnecessary and I was so uncomfortable that I needed to immediately get out of the "showroom" aka a weird office space with dirty carpet. I left completely embarrassed and devastated. I ended up finding a beautiful dress at Panache in Beverly Hills (since the sales people couldn't bring any out at The Bustle) and wish I would have just gone straight there because the Bustle is a joke of a wedding dress shop that has way too much of ego for the lack of inventory they have in store. I will make sure to warn all of my friends about this wedding shack that claims to have such amazing dresses and experience. What a complete waste of time.

I stumbled on this place trying to find a specific dress and I am so glad I did. I used to work in a large bridal retail store and knew I wanted the exact opposite of that! I wanted to be treated as an individual, not a number or just another sale. To add to the mix, I am pretty darn picky and knew I wanted a specific type of dress. I had a vision! I called the salon for about a year and a half before my wedding. Most vendors laughed at me when I told them how far away the wedding was but the Bustle sales associates were warm, welcoming and so accommodating when booking over the phone. The in-store experience was nothing short of that. You walk into a customized sign with your name, champagne, cupcakes, and qa private in store experience with just you and the associate. I was blown away. She listened to all the things I envisioned in a dress, what type of venue we were getting married at and asked a few questions. Within a few minutes she brought out two gowns and then a few more that blew me away. They were exactly what I was looking for (not easy to find since I was looking for V neck only) . She talked me through each one and discussed why she picked them out based on our conversation. The second one was it and I fell in love. We tried on a few more for fun but the second was it. They had some accessories we tried on as well and I fell in love with a few of those as well (garter, veil, and belt). I found a headband and earings elsewhere. I do wish they carried more options in these areas but it worked out. If you want a personalized experience, I highly recommend the bustle.

Excelent service, my gown arrived on time. I was also provided with guidance on matching bridesmaids gowns, flower girl outfit and accesories for my dress. Parking is available on the back of the building, although finding the entrance to the shop can be tricky. I recommend reading all the details on your appointment confirmation email. Also, they have a great discount if you buy your gown on the first appointment. Sometimes they have specials like free garter if you check in in YELP.

The store and experience was decently nice, the dress selection was lacking. I went in specifically seeking a few dresses from a certain designer, they had verbally told me they had those dresses in store and that I would be able to order them in my time frame. I show up to my appointment and they only had 1 of the 8 dresses they claimed to have. The only one they did have, another employee came and took it out of my dressing room, then never came back with it for me to try on. Pretty poor service. Definitely had better experiences with a few other stores in San Diego.

I was coming over from New Zealand to visit family and look for a dress. I had spotted a sample dress on their website a few months ago and they held it for me (with a deposit) until I was able to try it on. I came with just my mom and my future mother in law. Leilani was so helpful and accommodating- allowing me to try on some dresses multiple times and being patient with my mom taking a million pictures. All of us had such a great time. I tried on the dress I had on hold and similar styles. Leilani worked with us on options since I do currently live overseas. She also had their expert seamstress come out and talk alterations with us. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

I first went to The Bustle in early Oct and loved the shop aesthetics, the location and most of all Amanda. I was I instantly trusting of her style choices, her passion for her work and she is funny and kind and the best champion for your wants and needs. Did I mention she had champagne waiting for us? She asked all the important questions like prices, colors, how I met my finace, the location-all things I wasn't expecting but were super smart to ask! I didn't say yes to the dress that day, because I was missing my bridal party but I knew my choice had to be at The Bustle with Amanda in front of my Bride Tribe. I went back yesterday with my Bride Tribe of 10 and met with Amanda again and they all thought we were life long friends! I said yes to a dress I didn't describe, didn't consider but Amanda read my thoughts and picked the perfect gown!! I felt like a princess and can't wait to walk down the isle in it.

I got my gown from The Bustle and it couldn't be more perfect! The consultants there are so beautiful and personable, they made gown shopping so easy and fun! From your private suite, to a champagne toast when you find the gown, it doesn't get better than that. The Bustle is amazing, thank you ladies for making me feel so special. I'm sure I'll be back with all my newly engaged friends and family!!

The Bustle is amazing!! I found my perfect dress here last weekend and had the best experience. I was welcomed with a cute sign with my name on it, a private room, and champagne. Peytin was my consultant and she was an absolute dream to work with! She was so sweet to me and my family - we loved working with her. She took the time to really listen to everything I liked and didn't like about the dresses I tried on so we could get to the right one. You could tell she really knows the dresses they carry and knew which ones to pick next based on what I was looking for. Every time she brought out a new dress we got closer and closer to "the one" and ultimately I ended up finding my perfect dress. The whole process was so fun and easy from start to finish, especially thanks to Paytin. Really could not have asked for a better dress shopping experience.

I had the pleasure of working with Leilani throughout the whole process of selecting my dress. She was so helpful, sweet and made me feel very special. I loved coming to the venue and seeing my name on the chalkboard and having treats/champagne. She really listened to me and helped pick my dream dress and accessories. The Bustle made this such a great experience and were very timely with communication and receiving the dress. I am so grateful and would highly recommend this for wedding dress shopping.

I tried 4 other bridal salons before coming to The Bustle. I was worried I would never have my "bridal moment," but I got it at The Bustle! The experience and customer service are unparalleled. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. When it came to picking out dresses, they were respectful of my budget and helped me find my perfect dress with all the elements I had been searching for. Paytin and Mariah ran up and down the stairs for me to find the perfect veil and hair pins to complete the look I dreamed of. Thanks to this salon, I truly feel like a bride and I cannot wait for everyone to see the dress on my wedding day. I am so grateful for this team! Even if you are budget conscious, I would highly recommend stopping by. You might just find the dress of your dreams like I did!

I normally never write reviews, but I have to for this place. With my military assignment overseas, I only had 3 days to find my dress, and Brook knocked it out the park. All brides in San Diego area, you will not be disappointed. Go check this place out!

Leilani was an absolute sweetheart! Made me feel really comfortable and secure. I had a few ideas about style and designer and she was super supportive with her feedback and suggestions. The appointment went on smoothly and on time, gave us snacks and my family also felt welcome even though they do not speak English.

The Bustle was great! Scheduling the appointment to find my bridesmaid dress was done very easily on the phone. The bridesmaid dress had to be a specific designer and color. The Bustle staff was super knowledgeable and accommodating in helping me figure out the expedited timeline that I had to come in try on styles and get it ordered. Paytin was awesome in helping me try on styles and give me super helpful feedback when I was stuck between two really cute dresses. The shop itself is really cute and it was fun. I would highly recommend. Thanks for all your help Paytin!!

The Bustle is everything you dream of when wedding dress shopping! Upon arriving at your first appointment, there is a cute sign welcoming you and your party into your personal room for the hour. And when I say "personal room", I mean it - it's a whole room with dresses in your price range lined up along the walls, couches for your party to lounge on, champagne and treats, and a curtained-off corner to change into potential dresses. I appreciated the fact that each bride has their own "area" and you wont cross-paths; it allows you to focus on yourself. My Bustle stylist was Leilani and she was super sweet - didn't push her opinion and was great at selecting dresses I might like. After an hour and a half (it goes by so fast!), I found my dream dress! I purchased the dress in June and picked it up first week of December. They don't do alterations there, but they have a recommended tailor. Overall, this was the experience I was looking for and I highly recommend the Bustle to all future brides!

The location was charming and the consultants I worked with during each appointment were amazingly helpful and I found my dream dress. I was very pleased with my experience, THANK YOU!

If you want to feel absolutely beautiful on your special day please go here. My beautiful best friend showed me this shop from her wedding dress fittings and I am so glad she did. I had the intentions of just going to see what style dress I liked and ended up with the dress of my dreams. Not only are the dresses so unique and beautiful, but the women working here are so caring and make you feel so special. I loved how small this shop is and how they let you use the full room just for the bridal party or whoever you are bringing. The bigger shops let people walk around you which I do not like. I recommend this shop to everyone I know and they have been so happy with their dresses.

My family and I had a great experience at the Bustle. The store is a cute Boutique on the main street in Del Mar. I worked with Tiffany to find my perfect gown, veil and earrings. They separate gowns into different rooms based on price so you did not have to worry about going over your budget. She started the appointment looking at pictures of gowns I liked and had tried on in other stores. Then she let my family and me pick out gowns to try on. We continued to try on the gowns and narrow them down into only the gowns I liked. I don’t make decisions easily and Tiffany was very patient and never pushy. After finding my gown (a Stella York), at my pick up appointment, Tiffany helped me select a matching veil and cute earrings. I would highly recommend getting your gown from the Bustle.

I can't say enough good things about Mariah. I ended up loving my wedding dress which she actually picked out. If I had seen it on the rack, I never would have even tried it on - it turns out that she knew what I wanted better than I did. But perhaps even more than I loved my wedding dress, I loved working with Mariah! She is so funny and sweet, which made appointments fun rather than tedious (even the tailoring!). She helped pick out tasteful accessories to complete the look and I loved how it all turned out. My now husband said my dress exceeded his expectations and there was nothing that he would have changed about it. Success! Ironically, I forgot to bustle my dress before our first dance so my poor husband was slipping, sliding, and hopping around trying to avoid the long train. So of course he thought it was hilarious when he heard I got my dress at the BUSTLE bridal boutique. Oh well - we had the best time and great memories that we will laugh about forever. I would recommend the Bustle to anyone.

Mariah Williams at The Bustle was wonderful! She helped me find my perfect wedding dress- all I had to do was give her some pictures of the dress I envisioned and my budget. She picked out some gowns that she thought I would like and by the 3rd gown, I found my wedding dress! She stayed well within my budget (on the lower end) and made the process so easy for me. She was very attentive and responsive to my questions. She also helped me pick out veils, shoes, and jewelry for the look. I highly recommend Mariah at The Bustle!

I absolutely loved everything about my experience at The Bustle! I wanted the royal treatment and they delivered! I was greeted with a sign with my name in the font of the private space I had for the duration of my 1.5 hour appointment and was helped by one assistant. I was a bit nervous about trying on dresses as I wasn't sure what I wanted or what would be flattering on me. My bridal assistant spoke with me at length and made lots of notes; she was respectful of my taste and made helpful suggestions. She started to pull some dresses she thought I would like and let my three girls look around and pull some dress for me to try on as well. She helped me into every dress while my girls relaxed on the couch with champagne and cupcakes. I tried on 9 dresses before narrowing it down to the top three, which I tried on again. It was incredibly relaxing; I did not feel rushed or like I was being pushed into buying anything. I didn't expect to find a dress on the first try, but I did! I said YES TO THE DRESS! It took 3 months for the dress to arrive, and they shipped it across the country to me right away. The customer service and communication has been top notch on every account. I was so relieved for this process to be relaxing and truly enjoyable! Thank you so much for your amazing service!

The Bustle helped me find the perfect dress for my beach wedding! I received a million compliments, people loved the simplicity of the dress and yet the sexiness of it. The girls were very helpful and patient when I was looking for the dress, and I loved that they had plenty of styles within my budget. I also liked that they offered a payment plan! I would highly recommend the Bustle to anyone.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Mariah! From the minute I walked in the door with my daughter and close friends, she was attentive and full of knowledge. She was very helpful and explained many things I was unsure of. Being an older bride she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. She was also very helpful as our appointments progressed and finding lovely accessories for my dress as well. I couldn’t of been happier and felt like a princess. All other staff at The Bustle was as helpful on several phone calls and scheduling appointments for alterations. The Bustle runs a tight ship and you can be assured of getting excellent customer service.

The Bustle was my first and last stop to saying yes to the dress. The staff is so kind and the location is amazing is your a beach lover like me. The set up is very cute and you feel like a Princess with the service. They have a variety of dresses and after trying on 10 different ones, I found THE ONE!! I said YES to the DRESS at the Bustle and I would recommend them to any Bride, Mother of the Bride, Bridesmaids, and Flower Girls!

The Bustle really knows how to make a bride feel extra special during her appointment. They think of all the little things that take the appointment to the next level. For instance, they have a personalized sign welcoming you to your own section of the boutique with a candle lit, champagne glasses filled, and cookies waiting for you as you walk in the door. I worked with Robyn during my appointment and she was incredibly patient with me and my group. She even stayed open 30 minutes later to not rush me during my appointment. Although I didn't get my dress at the Bustle I had to take the time to review them because I was really impressed with their customer service and their dresses.

I had a fairly short timeline to find a dress before it would be too late and spent a few days going to 5 different boutiques - trying on about 28 dresses. I narrowed it down to 2, but still felt slightly unsure with them after looking at my photos in them the next day. I finally went to my appointment at the Bustle and I am so glad I did! It was honestly the best bridal appointment that I had. Sara talked through the photos I showed her, asking questions about what I'd envisioned. The very first dress - was the one - my mom teared up as soon as she saw me in it. Still I did try a few more dresses that Sara had selected and truly, all of them were beautiful making it difficult to choose. Sara's recommendations were completely on point as every dress she selected spoke to certain elements of what I had in mind; something I had not experienced at other boutiques. The whole experience was uncomplicated and fun for my mom and I, with champagne and cupcakes to top it off!

Great customer service and kept my budget in mind! I’m happy to say I found my dress in my 1st visit!

I am getting married this October and I was told to order my dress a good 8-10 months out, so getting my dress was first on my to do list!!! I made an appt back in December at The Bustle and didn't have to go anywhere else after! I found my dream dress! Everyone is so accommodating, the staff is wonderful! I worked with Leilani who was so wonderful and sweet! And I don't know if it was the timing on when I went in to shop for my dress, but my dress only took 3 months to come in, which was a serious stress reliever! Thank you so much @thebustle for making my dress shopping the most exciting part of wedding planning so far! I will definitely recommend this place to any future bride-friends of mine!

I had such an amazing experience at The Bustle and found my dream gown there. I loved that we had a private studio just for me and my girls. The consultant I worked with was so kind, really wanted to understand me and what I envisioned, then she found just that. I got to try on some gorgeous dresses and really felt like a Bride for the first time when I was there, and I had been to one other boutique before this. That doesn't say anything bad about the other boutique, just how AMAZING The Bustle is. The whole process was seamless and I loved the champagne.

I had such an amazing experience with The Bustle! Mariah was by my side from the first time I tried on dresses to the day I picked up my gown from alterations. She was patient with me when I asked to try on way too many dresses, she gave honest advice when I wanted to make alterations, and she was at every fitting appointment to be my second pair of eyes since my mom could not be there. I went to a lot of different places to find my dress, but I never felt more comfortable and welcomed than at The Bustle. Thank you Mariah!

I was SO intimidated going into my dress shopping experience especially since I had absolutely no idea where to even begin! But Lelani made it so easy, so fun and so memorable for me and my “entourage”. Not only did I find my perfect dress, but we have wonderful memories of the perfect dress shopping day! Not to mention - my dress also came in two months early, I found my veil here and that came in early too!! I love the personalized experience and the price point is perfect for all brides as well. Couldn’t recommend The Bustle enough!!

The BEST Bridal Experience ever; I said yes to the dress!! Okay, so I had been to 4 other bridal boutiques just to try on 'silhouettes'. I yelped this place and saw great reviews so I booked my appointment. From the moment you walk up and see your name, step into your own private bridal salon and start trying on dresses it is classy and elegant every step!! I had my eye on designer, Enzoani and after trying on 4 gorgeous ones; it wasn't until the last dress that my amazing consultant, Sara, pulled for me did I find "the one"! It actually made me tear up and envision walking down the isle to my fiance. Even more, her 'suggestion' wound up being under my budget and showed me she was really listening to what I wanted, our wedding theme and value. I couldn't have been more pleased with the atmosphere and Sara. (there were 2 other consultants that popped in and they seemed really sweet and genuine too) To sum up: *Beautiful selections with reasonable to extravagant pricing options *They do not "sell" you, they "serve" you *You get that authentic personalized touch that every bride deserves *You do not feel "rushed" or "pressured" to buy *I brought both my cousin and mom and they were very kind to them as well; even with 2nd fitting appt., they STILL make you feel special and bridal :)

Appointment set up was easy (6 months before wedding). After sharing my thoughts, we pulled fewer than 10 dresses--and I went with the #2 dress I tried on. Dress arrived about 3 months later. Easy pick up and responsive with any questions I had subsequently.

I purchased my dress from the Bustle and it was PERFECT! Sara was by far the best consultant! She made me feel comfortable and made sure to help me find the dress just for me! I had so much fun working with her and shopping at the Bustle. This was the ONLY place I went to find my dress and never felt I needed to go anywhere else. I loved everything about it and had the best experience. They treat you right and make you feel so special for your big day! I went back and bought the hair pin from their shop as well! My wedding day was October 21 and it could not have been anymore perfect and I can't thank you guys enough! My dress was everything I could have hoped for and more! My husband was wow'd when he saw me in my dress! :) I will send pictures as soon as I get my photos from the photographer! Thank you! If you're considering a place to shop, this should definitely be on your list!! They do not disappoint!

Had such an amazing experience. They greeted us with champagne, and our own private room. I really got the full bridal experience. They were awesome on listing to what I wanted, and I found my perfect dream dress!!

I found THE dress at The Bustle today! Mariah made the experience low stress, high excitement, and all about finding exactly what I had envisioned. This cute little boutique is a perfect place to find your dream dress—for a good price!

I planned my San Diego wedding from across the country, and all the bridal boutiques in the city where I was living were either overpricing older gowns from top designers (selling the name to unsuspecting brides), or offering knock-offs of a lower quality. I had some pretty horrible experiences with shop owners requesting I wire them money and trying to show up at my home to goad me into a purchase...well my best friends saved the day and took me took The Bustle when I was in San Diego for wedding planning. My only complaint would be that the girl who helped me didn't fully explain how the back of the gown would look or go over the bustle with me. However, It was such a positive experience, and I was able to find a gown I loved at a good price, which left me the option to tailor that gown to be a truly customized dream gown. The girls at The Bustle were lovely and helpful. I would recommend this bridal salon to any bride looking for a fun and positive "Yes to the dress" moment!
