One of the only bridal boutiques in Southern California that carry the designer that I've been searching for, Justina McCaffrey. The customer service at Chez Bride Moderne is nothing short of EXCELLENT! They are by appointment only and close down the whole boutique just for you. You get to pick as many dresses as you want from their collections to try on. In addition to Justina McCaffrey, they also carry Carolina Herrera, Judd Waddell, Melissa Sweet, and Romona Keveza.

They don't put any pressure on you to buy a dress at all....the bridal consultant, Holly, even wrote down all the dresses I tried on so that I can research the designers and their collections. The day I came back to buy my dream gown, Holly took out the top 3 dresses I liked from my original appointment and had me try them all on again to make sure I was 100% sure about the dress I wanted. Sure enough, it was and she popped open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!

I was so fortunate to be able to have Katie B. do my hair and makeup as well as all my bridesmaid's makeup. She EXCEEDED my expectations!!! I knew she was going to do such a great job that I didn't even schedule a trail with her. Katie B. came on time and finished on time...she even stayed around a little for the ceremony to touch me up a little before it all started. We got so many compliments!! I cut my hair a few days before the wedding because I was going to have extensions...and no one could tell I was wearing them. My hair was long, beautiful and natural looking. We all loved the way the makeup felt...not heavy at all and it stayed on ALL night, even with all the dancing and drinking!

Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Katie B. was like a friend....she always responded quickly and was always very helpful..even AFTER the wedding. I don't think I could have trusted anyone one else. Thank you Katie B.!!!
