I had an amazing experience with Lace & Bustle that far surpassed finding the dress of my dreams! I worked with Sierra and she was absolutely fabulous. She understood my bridal vision and helped me nail it! Sierra was patient, made me feel so comfortable, and never pressured me into making a decision. Victoria was also amazing and so encouraging when I found the one. As a self-proclaimed glam girl, my dress was one of my favorite pieces of the wedding, and I am so happy to have found the perfect one at such an ADORABLE and welcoming boutique. I give them my highest recommendation and suggest all brides include Lace & Bustle in their dress shopping experience!

You MUST come to Lace and Bustle if you are getting married! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! For starters, I came in on a Tuesday without an appointment and called ahead to see if they were busy. Sierra was in the shop that day and was so sweet when I called, not to mention how wonderful and helpful she was letting me try on my first wedding dresses! Lace and Bustle Bridal is a unique gem among many wedding shops in the Bay Area with incredible customer service --always attentive, kind and willing to help! Their selection is unique, romantic, classic and whimsical. You will definitely find something for you! They also have incredible accessories for your big day! I was lucky enough to fall in love with Matthew Christopher dresses when I went to try on dresses. Victoria was so wonderful in allowing me to have a sample of another Matthew Christopher gown sent for me to try on and I said yes without a question. I even had my veil to match sent to the store for me to try on before I said yes. They even helped me by working with Matthew Christophers people to get my veil made custom. Lace and Bustle is one of kind and I would recommend anyone looking for a truly wonderful experience!!

I cannot say enough about Victoria and the entire team at Lace and Bustle! They were so easy to work with - very communicative as my mom was making an appointment and accommodating with some changes. When we arrived, I had an idea of some styles I was looking for, but then Victoria (sensing my indecisiveness) rolled out 2 carts, one with tops and one with bottoms. She put together the PERFECT dress using 3 separate pieces. She showed me so many different ways that I could create the dress and we eventually settled on the perfect style. The dress was eventually sewn into a single piece, and they were so communicative throughout the entire process of waiting and then tailoring. I felt so taken care of, and their overall excitement for me and about the dress made the whole process even more enjoyable.

Lace and Bustle is an intimate bridal boutique that provides excellent, knowledgeable service in a relaxed, quiet and elegant setting. I had a lovely experience there working with Victoria and Sierra, who gave me their undivided attention. They selected several dresses for me to try on based on the information I gave them on what I was looking for, and were honest and gracious with their feedback about how each dress looked on me. I especially appreciate the accurate measurements they took (and retook several times to make sure they were right). I did not expect to find a dress right away but I did and their store was the first and only store I visited. Because their measurements were so accurate, the alterations required for the dress are minimal. I went in for my first fitting at the tailor today, and I was quite impressed that except for minor alterations to shorten the straps and sew in a padded bra for my flat chest, everything fit perfectly, and the hem was the exact perfect length. If you want personalized service, attention to your vision of your ideal dress, and professional guidance in a lovely intimate setting, Lace and Bustle is the place to go. Absolute excellence in the quality of dresses, quality of service, and quality of the entire experience. Thank you, Lace and Bustle for contributing to my special day!

Had the honor of choosing my wedding dress from L&B a few weeks ago! Such an amazing experience from start to finish. All the dresses picked out for me we’re ready to go and the area for my family and friends was pretty and perfect. Victoria was kind, intuitive, and helped me narrow down my options to help create the most perfect say yes to the dress moment!

I absolutely loved finding my dress at Lace & Bustle! I felt so comfortable and at ease trying on a variety of gowns and headpieces until I found my match! The ladies at Lace & Bustle are very professional and accommodating. My family and I enjoyed our experience there very much! And I personally have enjoyed all follow-up appointments for styling... and twirling!

This was the last store I had planned to visit while wedding dress shop while my mom was in town and we almost skipped it since its a little off the beaten path, but totally worth the visit! The store is beautiful and the dress collection is the best I saw. They have modern, yet timeless options. I love how the dresses are all displaced for perusing. The owner, Victoria, was so genuine and helpful. I am SO happy with my gown and cannot wait to show it off. I am grateful to Victoria and her staff for making wedding dress shopping a truly unforgettable experience. On a side note, the tailor she recommends is also amazing :)

My first ever bridal appointment, and that is all it took!!!! We were welcomed with yummy tea in antique style cups and saucers :) Victoria immediately knew the vision i had in my head and the dress was literally the second one I tried (although I continued to try on many more). We then celebrated with champagne once I said yes to the dress! She was almost therapeutic in her approach, and has an incredible personality, is very professional, and understands what brides want! Her dresses and the services received were absolutely wonderful, and everyone MUST go to this boutique!!!! Thank you Victoria! Youre an artist!

I absolutely LOVED working with Lace & Bustle Bridal. I did not really expect to have that Say yes to the dress moment, and L&B was the last shop I looked at so I was a bit exhausted with a head spinning in tulle. Victoria let us take our time combing through the gowns on the rack, and just had fun with us as we picked out the options. One gown seemed nice but didnt stand out too much on the hanger. When I put it on it came to life. My aunt almost fell over when I walked out! Thats what its supposed to feel like! Victoria just had fun and enjoyed every moment with us! She made very helpful suggestions regarding hair pieces, jewelry and shoes. She even came with me to my first fitting so that she could be part of my first conversation with the tailor. Overall, I am SO glad I found my dress there and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I adore everything about this shop, from the decor, vibe, dresses, accessories & workers. As someone who’s been to countless shops with other brides & now my own, all around the Bay from as North as Santa Rosa and South as San Jose, L&B is doing everything right. They’re the reason why it’s so clear now & I know what I want in a dress. Service, how to assist & guide, actually caring about YOU, and attention to detail is a MUST for a special huge decision like this, and L&B has perfected it...it’s truly the BEST I’ve EVER encountered. Thank you L&B!!

I am so thankful to this boutique and their amazing staff...I was lucky to work with Victoria, Sierra and Liliam (Victorias mother). They are so personable and hands on! This was my first time wedding dress shopping so I was clueless. It never crossed my mind that I would basically be naked in front of someone I barely knew while they helped me in and out of wedding dresses! But these ladies made me feel so comfortable that it wasnt awkward at all. They were very patient and I never felt rushed. They asked me how I felt in every dress and how it compared to the last and I could tell they genuinely cared. I went to another boutique in Walnut Creek and my experience was quite the opposite...I was handed each dress and expected to get into them myself. The woman helping me didnt seem interested in getting to know me or anything about my wedding. When you walk into Lace & Bustle its a completely different experience, they welcome you warmly and you instantly feel at home. Im proud to say this is where I said Yes! to the dress! This is the moment all brides dream about...thank you L&B for making this crucial part of wedding planning such a positive and amazing experience for me!

My experience with Lace and Bustle was nothing short of magical. Victoria is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. She made the experience fun and enjoyable and prior to going to Lace and Bustle, I was not having a good time trying on dresses. I went all over San Francisco and Marin County - I must have tried on at least 75 dresses with zero luck. I knew what I wanted and I was not finding it anywhere. Someone who lives in Lafayette recommended I try Lace and Bustle and I wish it had been the first place I went to! I immediately felt at ease when I walked in; Victoria is so sweet and welcoming, the store is absolutely gorgeous, and the quality and selection of the dresses is outstanding. Victoria really listened to what I was looking for and the very first dress she put me in, ended up being the one! Don’t bother going anywhere else but here, I guarantee you will find the dress of your dreams! Thank you so much Victoria, you’re the best!

I think might be one of only a handful of brides that really didnt love dress shopping - I found the whole process from scheduling the appointment, to picking what I what I thought I wanted, to working with the consultants to be very overwhelming and to be honest I struggled to find a dress. Nothing to put you in your place like standing naked in a fitting room while a stranger helps you squeeze into a lace monstrosity to put you in your place. Lace & Bustle was the first boutique that I went to and it should have been my last. The staff here are AMAZING. So helpful, kind, and genuine. The shop itself is beautiful and the quality of gowns second to none. Trust me, I went to a few (what felt like hundred salons) and this was the only salon where I actually enjoyed myself. Victoria and team rescued me from my shopping horrors and at the end of the day ended up waiving the rush fees so I would receive the dress with time for alternations. Victoria even got on the phone with the designer to make sure the waist was going to hit me where it was meant to (tall bride problems). Highly, highly recommend. I ended up going with her local tailor for alterations even though I live in the city and the BART trips were worth it. Victoria MET me at my first appointment and hand delivered the dress. Even now, a few months after the wedding I find myself scrolling through the photos of all of the dresses I tried on and the dresses I tried from Lace & Bustle are still the best in the area.

If you are looking for your dream wedding dress, look no further. The dresses here are all stunning! It may be a small boutique, but they have plenty of options to choose from. I found a gorgeous off the shoulder lace dress here that I am absolutely over the moon for!Victoria (the owner) is so sweet and helpful every step of the way. From my first appointment to my last, she was in constant contact via email to update me when my dress had both shipped and arrived. She also pays great attention to detail when taking measurements, which saved me a lot when it came to alterations.Thank you Victoria and staff for making this a truly wonderful experience for me!

Lace and Bustle is really the only place for wedding dresses in the East Bay. After bad experiences at other Walnut Creek shops, L&B was a breath of fresh air. Their selection is the absolute best and their staff is so friendly and kind. The girls helped me find my perfect dress and accessories. They also set me up with a very experienced and knowledgeable local tailor who made sure the fit was perfect. Ive recommended L&B to two fellow brides whove also found their perfect dresses here and had great experiences. I cant say enough good things!

Ditto all the wonderful reviews! I found a lovely and well-crafted wedding dress here and felt well cared for and considered by the staff. I initially called the store to see if they had a knee-length dress, which they did, and Victoria e-mailed me a few images of dresses they had in the store. I made an appointment to try on the dresses, and when I arrived, I was greeted with joy by Victoria and Sierra. Shopping here was a fun and positive experience!

Victoria was SO fabulous. She made my first time trying on wedding dresses a dream. Going into the appointment I was super nervous, but once I walked into Lace and Bustle, I was immediately calmed. Such a beautiful and welcoming atmosphere with awesome employees who are so knowledgeable. There is a wide variety of dresses from every price range, style, cut, etc. I am so grateful that I said yes to the dress and I cannot wait for my wedding day! Thank you so much Victoria!!!

I cant say enough about my AMAZING experience with Lace and Bustle. Ill start off by saying, that Lace and Bustle was the very first and only bridal boutique I visited. Im usually very picky when it comes to clothing, so I was honestly just dreading having to shop for wedding dresses. I was scared that I would not be able to find anything that I liked. My experience ended up being the complete opposite. The ladies at Lace and Bustle really listened to what I was looking for and made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and made the experience so much fun.I think we all knew when I tried on THE dress that it was the one. The ladies at Lace and Bustle hyped me up and topped off my look with a gorgeous veil. Let me add that they did NOT at all make me feel pressure to say yes to the dress, they instead held my hand through the entire experience.Not only did they help me find the dress of my dreams, but once my dress was ready, Victoria hand delivered it to the tailor that she recommended. She stayed during my appointment with the tailor and made sure that everything was perfect. I LOVE Victoria.To all you beautiful brides looking for the dress of your dreams, look no further! Thank you Lace and Bustle, for everything.

The best wedding dress shopping experience you could wish for! Victoria helped me find the dress of my dreams and didnt stop there, she helped me find the perfect accessories and veil! She even met me at the tailor for my first dress fitting which was an extra special touch! Dress shopping can be one of the most stressful parts of planning the wedding but L&B made the entire experience enjoyable! Cant say enough amazing things about the L&B team.

I could not be more happy that I found my dress at Lace & Bustle. I went back three times before I finally said yes! The gals there were genuinely excited for me every time I came in, and never tried to push a sale. I still cant get over how wonderful my experience with them was! When I was in store, they were even texting with the designers team to answer my customizing questions in real time. It was so impressive! I could not recommend this bridal store enough.

Lace and Bustle has the most beautiful collection of absolutely amazing designer bridal gowns. The owner, Victoria, is sincere, sweet, uplifting, and extremely knowledgeable. We found Lace and Bustle after searching the internet and looking at reviews. My daughter lives in California, however I am from New Jersey. When it came time to shop for a gown, I had no idea where to look in California.We mapped out several places and made more than one appointment. Lace and Bustle was out first appointment.Victoria greeted us and my daughter started with a dress she had found on her website. The dress was absolutely magnificent!My daughter continued to try just about every dress in the shop. Each dress was truly a work of art. Victoria was patient and discussed each dress with us.The first dress just looked so fantastic on her and she just glowed every time she put it on.We ordered that dress and cancelled all other bridal shop appointments. She had found her dream dress.The dress was from a New York designer!Victoria measured and communicated with the designer s representative in New York to discuss and order the correct size..Victoria also suggested a tailor and she was at the first fitting for my daughter.The wedding was this past weekend. Our friends and family literally gasped when they saw how perfect the dress was for my daughter - truly a fairytale dress!Thank you Victoria!My advise to anyone looking for dress in California is to shop at Lace and Bustle.

I cant rave enough about my amazing experience with Lace and Bustle. Victoria made the whole process so easy and pleasant from the very first time we chatted via e-mail up until my last wedding dress fitting! I should note that the first wedding dress I ever tried on was in this boutique and it was the only place I ended up having to go to! I purchased my dress right then and there.On top of that, Victoria was very accurate about her measurements and ordered the dress without the lace detailing on the hem, since she knew we were going to have to shorten it. I found out later on, that this actually saved me quite a bit on the alterations. She really truly cares about each bride wants and vision of their big day. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to be an L&B bride!

I have been to many bridal salons from Maryland to California over the last 10 months of searching for the dress and accessories and by far, Lace & Bustle is my favorite. The salon is the perfect size where you do not feel overwhelmed, but you still feel like you have all the options you need. I first learned about Lace & Bustle from the monthly planning email from The Knot. I sent a request through the website with what I was looking for and heard back the next morning with availability. On the day of the appointment I had to reschedule as that was during the fires up here in the valley and my bridal party flights were delayed by over 4 hours. Nikki and Sierra were very accommodating to the change and very gracious when we could arrive.When I arrived at the salon, Nikki already had a silhouette dress (similar to mine) available for me to try and had several of the lace jackets staged and waiting for me. I truly felt that they had listened to what I was looking for and were expecting me. During the appointment Nikki and Sierra were very patient and accommodating with the multiple opinions from my bridal party and the endless photos. They truly made it a great experience for all of us. I told Nikki that I would tell all of our brides about Lace & Bustle.Since the first appointment it has been seamless communication, regardless of who is responding to the emails. It is nice to know that all 3 of you are on the same page and I do not need to restart the full conversation each time with a new person. My visit this weekend was just as wonderful as my first visit.Thank you for your time and commitment to helping me find the perfect lace jacket for my wedding. You truly make me feel like the only bride in the world.

I was recommended to Lace & Bustle by a good friend who had also gotten her wedding dress there! They were so accommodating and helpful, I found the exact dress I wanted and had my first fitting today!Thank you again Lace & Bustle!

Although I didnt end up buying my dress at Lace and Bustle, I had a wonderful experience the two times I visited the salon. Victoria was so helpful. She listened to exactly what I wanted and even brough dresses in especially for me to try! I cant speak highly enough of Victorias professionalism and expertise.

Victoria and everyone at Lace & Bustle made finding my wedding dress an easy and fun experience. The boutique is super cute and has amazing dresses for everyones style. Victoria was very attentive and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process; she even brought my dress to their recommended tailor and stayed for my first dress fitting which was one of many examples of her going above and beyond. Thank you!

I met with the ladies at Lace & Bustle and from the first moment I arrived, they made me feel very special and welcome. I had many challenges for them, but they rose to every occasion and made me feel secure that it will be amazing and dealt with everything professionally and with real genuine care. I am sooo very happy with my very special wedding dress. Im getting married in a castle in Austria and the dress is perfection. I cannot recommend Victoria and her team highly enough. Gorgeous, ladies who made it easy for me and i loved my experience at their lovely wedding salon.

It should be noted that I didnt end up buying my dress here, but I NEEDED to express how amazing my Lace & Bustle experience was.I had an appointment on a Wednesday afternoon with Siera and had only my mom come with me. The salon itself is SO cute and calming that all my nerves of trying on dresses melted away. It also helped that we were the only ones there, so it seemed as though we had all the attention to ourselves! Siera was so kind and helpful in narrowing down the look I was going for and what worked great with my body type and skin tone.The collection I had try on was from Kelly Faetanini and they were gorgeous pieces! While I loved them, it wasnt exactly sparking a joy that I think most brides are looking for- FOR ME.For the first salon I visited, I had such a great, stress-free experience and I think many brides are looking for just that.

Loved this boutique! First of all, it was just adorable! It was so intimate allowing for one person to do the fitting at the time with her bridal party, which was amazing. Theres nothing more off-putting than feeling like a dime-a-dozen when youre buying for your dream wedding. It was like having a private event for my bridesmaids and me.I went to several dress boutiques and they were all charming, but a little pushy and just felt like they steamrolled over me and my desires or forced me to like dresses that I was lukewarm to to sell me. Going to Lace and Bustle was a huge departure from that unpleasant experience. They were so kind, asked all the right questions, and just seemed to understand exactly what I wanted. I showed them a few pictures of pinterest pins I had saved and briefly described what I was looking for, and man! Seriously the first dress I put on was the one that took my breath away. We of course tried several others to really get a feel for all they had selected for me, but we all just knew that we needed to go back to that first one.They asked the best questions while I was wearing the dress to get me to really think about what I liked, they never pushed me or made me feel guilty if I didnt like something about a dress. They worked with me, not against me. They made me feel SO comfortable. The best part was that they suggested that I leave the store, think about it for a few days, look at the pictures and then make my decision because they understood that this was a HUGE decision to make and one that gets muddled if a sales pitch is made.They were by far the best boutique I went to during this whole tour of boutiques around the bay area looking for my gown. I honestly fell in love with their dress and with how amazing their customer service was. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! I will definitely recommend them to all of my friends getting married in the area throughout the years.

Lovely selection and friendly staff! I cant wait to get my dress!

I dont think I can say enough great things about Victoria and Lace & Bustle. Victorias love for what she does is infectious and apparent in every aspect of working with her - from her positivity, the absolute beauty of her shop (theres a reason she calls it the Jewel Box - I didnt want to leave every time I visited!) and her personalized attention to detail with each of her customers. Its hard to find customer service like this these days. She was my absolute favorite person to work with when it came to my wedding. Hers was the last shop I visited at the suggestion of my maid of honor. When I set up my appointment and described what I was looking for along with my budget, Victoria was ready with a perfectly curated selection of what I was looking for. The gown I went with was a Kelly Faetanini with some custom work done to the back. When I asked if the custom work could be done, Victoria texted the designers assistant on the spot (I was literally standing in the dress on the pedestal in the shop!), who got back to her immediately saying it could be done. Victorias passion for making sure her brides end up with their perfect gown and feel beautiful was further exemplified when Victoria covered the customizations as a gift to me so that the dress would remain in budget! I cant explain how much that meant to me. I work long hours in San Francisco and she was completely flexible when it came to setting up time for me to try the dress on a second time and then ultimately pick it up. She even came to my first fitting to make sure I felt comfortable. Lace & Bustle is hands down the best bridal shop in the Bay Area and Victoria is one of the best people - not just as a shop owner, but as a person.

I cannot say enough good things about Lace and bustle bridal, Victoria and her mom. This boutique is every brides dream! You have got to set an appointment with them like right now! I called L&B to see if they had my dream dress. Even though, the store did not carry the dress, they offered to order it for me from New York to try it on. The dress came a week later and I went to L&B knowing that maybe my dream dress would not be the right fit and that it was out of budget. I had tried dresses in at least 5 other stores small and big such as Davids bridal, BHLDN and Nordstrom, but the bridal experience was lacking and part of wedding dress shopping is experiencing that perfect bridal shopping experience. From the moment I arrived at L&B, I had stepped into my fantasy bridal experience! They were waiting for me. I didnt have to wait in line. Victoria helped me and let me just tell you, Victoria is such a wonderful and genuinely sweet human being! Shes just so great! And the boutique! It has this gorgeous look from inside and outside. I love all the beautiful details it has and I love the customer service experience I had there. My sister and I were offered tea every time we visited! When I entered the store, I was directed to a fitting room where there was a beautiful robe waiting for me to step into, and there it was, my dream dress. I tried multiple dresses to compare and contrast similar dresses. I was indecisive, and Victoria was so patient, always providing input on what looked good and listening to what I wanted. Although I did not buy my dress on the spot, when my appointment was over, I whispered to my sister, I dont think I need to go to any other stores. Ill cancel my other appointments Everything felt so right about my experience there. It was everything I had dreamt of! The dress was more beautiful than I imagined, but the price was a bit high, and I wanted some customization done to the dress, so I discussed it with Victoria and we came up with a plan which worked for me and my fiancé. When I finally said yes to the dress Victoria even brought out a champagne for a toast! When my dress arrived she also helped me pick the perfect veil to match my dress and provided input about what would look good. Victoria even set up my appointment with the tailor to get my dress fitted, and the tailor she recommends is another great human being (but thats for another review). And get this, the day of my first appointment with the tailor, I missed my appointment because I had the wrong time in my mind, so I called Victoria panicking, and she was so sweet! She contacted the tailor and got him to see me later. She is super responsive, shes an expert, and she goes above and beyond for her brides. If you want to have beautiful memories of your bridal gown shopping experience, I assure you L&B will help you create memories to cherish for the rest of your life. I am grateful to have found them because my experience with them was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning. L&B you are seriously the best! I definitely recommend them 100% to all my friends and to all the brides out there. Theyre seriously the best!***Update: L&B Also helped me find the perfect outfit for my civil ceremony! A beautiful tulle skirt and top that looked absolutely gorgeous together! See my photo!

URGENT--Brides to be PLEASE read!! I flew from Phoenix to Northern California to search for THE wedding dress. My sister scheduled 8 bookings at 8 different locations (just in case I didnt find the one) in two days. I went to top of the line boutiques in Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and Livermore. The dresses I tried on were very, very beautiful but it didnt FEEL like it was the one if that makes sense. And I am not necessarily high maintenance either after all its just a big celebration right? But I wanted to fall in love with my dress--Im financially investing into the big day anyways. So as I was trying on dress after dress, location after location, I started to become kind of sad and over it. I thought I found the dress in Walnut Creek because it looked good on me and it was a popular boutique with great reviews, but I found myself convincing myself and my family of all the reasons it was the right dress. WRONG!!! So I slept on it. I woke up the next day and something told me to google search wedding dress boutiques northern California (I mean I already did this prior to flying out there, maybe I missed something). And Lace & Bustle popped up. I checked it out and on a whim decided to go last minute before I made the decision to purchase the other dress. I walked in Lace & Bustle -- immediately the girls are beyond sweet (it was very encouraging after my horrible experience so far) and they genuinely cared about my best interest which is refreshing since most boutiques were trying to sell me on why their dress/store was the best. I saw a dress in the corner of my eye and there it was (like a movie I know). Literally I kid you not, I tried it on and said out loud Youve got to be kidding me! After ALMOST SETTLING for the other dress and after searching and digging I found the dress and it was at the very last store. My sister and I started to cry. It was the one. And btw I am NOT a crier, I think its cheesy when women cry over a dress but it was a feeling and you just know on the inside. Just like picking your husband, you just know its the one and you are confident in your decision. Anyways I can write a book on my experience clearly. But I encourage you to try on different dresses (what you thought was the dress you had in mind might not be), be patient, and just check this store out. Victoria is beyond amazing and throughout the whole stress of wedding planning shes always been so uplifting and has physically been there to all of my fittings (and shes the owner of the store). She is so helpful and supportive. If I was a millionaire and could wear two wedding dresses on my wedding day I wouldve picked another dress from this store as well. I absolutely LOVED my dress. I wanted to sleep in it lol. It really made my wedding day (along with my husband of course) and I have beautiful pictures for my future kids to see. I am beyond grateful for Victoria and her team. Best wishes future brides!!!! xoxo

Cute and nice and fun and friendly.
