I could have not had a more perfect experience with Ana Maria! I shopped at multiple places, and nothing amounted to the selection provided at this boutique. It was the first dress I tried on, and it instantly gave me such an enchanting and timeless sensation Ive always dreamt for in a dress. Not only did I find the dress of my dream, Ana Maria was so incredible to work with; She got my dress in within months of trying the sample, and she was so kind to alter it literally DAYS before my wedding due to travel restrictions. Couldnt have asked for a more perfect experience buying my wedding dress.
What a local gem- both Anna Maria and the shop which is full of dresses of all styles. I went all the way to Dave’s Bridal to encounter LA attitudes and gouging prices before I happily found Anna Maria who couldn’t have been more helpful. She encourages me to try many styles and worked with me to tailor the dress u to o exactly what I wanted. She was calming and individualized attention is what you need for this experience to be smooth. She’s wonderful, variety is as big as a big store and prices are better!
My sister needed a wedding dress last minute. Ana Maria take the time to help. Got her, her beautiful wedding dress the night before the wedding and was able to alter it, along with my moms dress the morning of the wedding. This women was an angle. I’d give her more then 5 stars if I could. Her prices were great!!!
5 stars plus. Ana Maria is amazing. She is very attentive, provides feedback, takes her time with her clients and makes sure the bride is content. Excellent service. Cant express enough how great she is. You will not be disappointed. I had visited many bridal shops before encountering her. Other shops do not take their time like she does. My dress was amazing i had so many compliments. You will not find another place or quality service like Ana Maria.
The wedding gowns, dresses for all the wedding party as well as the accessories for any occasion you need to check it out and your prices are very reasonable, the service was awesome I cant say enough
I am so grateful to Ana Maria! I purchased my wedding dress from her which was 3 sizes too big but had the shape I was looking for. She made it a sweetheart top, lowered the back, put in a zipper, took off all the sequins, changed the waist ribbon and made it fit me flawlessly! It was like custom designing my own dress - she also gave me an incredibly reasonable deal and made sure it was perfect. I would highly recommend her and have already returned to get other dresses tailored. She is very kind and very talented.
I give this place 5 stars. She was able to alter a dress that I needed done the same day. She was so helpful. I am glad I found her. Her shop is small and very comfortable. She was also affordable. I highly recommend!
Dont go anywhere else in Santa Barbara for a wedding dress! Ana Maria is an absolute doll. She has a great selection of affordable dresses. She does all of her own alterations and really knows material and what looks best on peoples body types. If you are looking for a posh experience with champagne and a lot of sucking up, this probably isnt the shop for you. But if you are looking for an honest, humble, hardworking gal who has been in the business for 30 years and really knows her stuff, go to Ana Maria! I paid $890 for my gorgeous Justin Alexander dress and couldnt be happier with the experience.
Ana Maria was so helpful and gave me her full attention. She has beautiful dresses of many different styles. I am very happy and recommend her Bridal shop to all my friends!
I love Ana Maria. I got my dress there two years ago and since then Ive been back three times for brides maid dresses and also my sisters wedding dress. She is very sweet and accommodating!
The parking review must have been for an older location. Around the corner from this bridal shop is El Bohemio, another great place- if you want terrific mexican food. We have gone to this eatery every weekend for years, and when my fiance and I got engaged, I began to notice the gorgeous dresses in the window every time we passed.I have no money to spend on a lavish gown, and I only went in because my mother was with me and I thought we should have that moment of dress-trying-on.The owner was wonderful and so sweet. She never once pushed me towards a sale or towards anything I didnt want. Even when I fell in love with probably the least pricey gown in the entire place, she didnt try to upsell me, which was my biggest fear. A poor bride is often an embarrassed bride. I tried on the dress and it was the one. The first dress I ever tried on was the one. We talked alterations (SO AFFORDABLE) and timeline.Honestly, whether you are poor or rich, going poofy or slim lined, try this place out. The local attitude and comfortable and cozy shop still makes you feel special, and her personality made me so happy my money was going towards a good, worthy business.I cant wait to keep popping in, she felt like a friend at the end of the trying-on, and it was absolutely just a positive experience. :)
