Reviews for J'aime Bridal
GUEST




I bought my dress three weeks before our wedding, due to a minor disaster with my original dress. I had one day to find the dress, otherwise I was getting married in jeans and t-shirt. J'aime Bridal was the second store we went to, without an appointment, on a busy Saturday. Jamie squeezed us in, and even worked with me personally to find the perfect gown. I left that day with a dress I LOVED at an incredible price. They even took care of the alterations for me. The dress was perfect on our wedding day, and I looked way better than I would have in my jeans.

I love J'aime Bridal!!!! They were the nicest people I have ever met!! And truly accomodating!!!! My dress buying experience was awesome because of them. Their dresses are reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Thank you to Jaime, Ashley and the team!!!

I have to admit that I am one of those brides who took an insane amount of time to decide on a dress. I think that I visited a grand total was 13 stores, all around the Bay Area. Jaime's was the last one I went to before my mom and wedding party cut me off. I'm not really a girl-girl, and wearing dresses is rare for me, so it took me a bit to truly understand what I wanted from the most important dress I would ever wear.My first appointment at Jaime was with Maureen, and she was once of the nicest and most helpful attends I had anywhere. She listened to what I wanted and made recommendations. My budget, BTW, was around $1000 and there were plenty of dresses at Jaime in my price range. I tried on the dress I ended up with early in the day, but I had seen so many dresses by that point I didn't really appreciate how well it fit and how good it looked until later. After another appointment a Jaime as well as a few more appointments at dress stores I had been at previously, it was getting down the wire and I needed to make a decision. After consulting my most trusted crew and doing some soul-searching, I decided that the Casablanca 1909 dress in Ivory from Jaime was going to be "the one". And no, I never had that "OMG, I have to have this dress" moment, really. I want to stress to other brides that are feeling bad about this that it's possible to fall in love with a dress you like AFTER you've tried it on a few times.My only hesitation with the dress that I chose was that it didn't have a sweetheart neckline, which I thought was the most flattering on me. I was willing to see if it could be done after the fact, and told myself that I liked the dress well enough, anyway. Luckily, after trying it on AGAIN and asking if a new neckline could be done, I was told that it absolutely could! For a mere $75 extra, I could get the company to make it custom, and have the neckline I really wanted! I also got my veil that day as well, because they had one that matched the dress so perfectly.I was pleased with the service and the 20% discount on bridesmaid dresses that I ended up getting my bridesmaid dresses there as well. They have a large selection and were as friendly and helpful to my girls as they had been to me, which I appreciated.Since I had waited so long to choose my dress and got custom work done, it was literally down to the last three weeks before my wedding until my dress arrived. I was admittedly freaking out a bit, and called Jaime consistently to see if everything was okay I emailed as well, but found them less responsive via that method. When it did finally come in, I got it altered in two weeks and it was ready to be picked up three days before my wedding. It needed a bustle, to be taken in a bit, and sadly a hem, which cost the most. I'm not sure if it's just standard on ball gown styles to be long in case you want a huge petticoat, but my petticoat was medium-full and I still needed it hemmed an inch even though Jaime took my height. The timing was close, for sure, but Jaime calmly worked with me throughout the whole process and really came through.Aside from me making the wedding dress process stressful my own accord, I had a really good experience with Jaime. They are friendly, helpful and truly care about finding you a dress that will look great on your wedding day. If you're just starting or still floundering like I was, give them a try!

As the groom you're always wondering how will my bride look when she walks down the aisle. I was so amazed because my bride looked breathtaking, and she brought me and the entire church to tears. Thank you so much for providing my wife such an amazing and beautiful dress, it was more an a dress it was a dream...Thank you.

I had a great experience working with J'aime Bridal! All of the staff that I had worked with were excellent making sure that I was getting their full attention. After a horrible experience at a Danville Bridal Store, Jamie's really impressed me with their patience while I tried on dress after dress. When It finally had it narrowed down to 2 dresses and was going to settle with the cheaper one they were able to sell me the dress that I loved for the price of the cheaper one just so that I could have my dream dress! As for my bridesmaid dresses, they had a huge selection and ordered all my girls their perfect size! If you are looking for the best bridal store in the bay, go to J'amies!! They are amazing!
GUEST




I'm torn, because I did buy my wedding dress, veil, and bridesmaids' dresses here; however, every step of the way was so difficult it seemed. All of the girls working here were so helpful and sweet but as soon as I had to deal with Jaime everything went downhill. She was always short with her answers and seemed in a hurry. She messed up orders and then never admitted that it was her fault. In the end she made it better by letting me choose a new veil from a selection of new stock after she ordered the wrong veil. I just felt like I wasn't being listened to whenever I worked with Jaime but overall their stock and prices are decent, and they are willing to go out of their way to order what you need.
GUEST




I was so very pleased with my Marissa dress from J'amie Bridal. I knew pretty much what I wanted and after try8ing on several beautiful gowns I found the ONE. This little store is so wonderful and charming and the customer service is bar none 10+ ! I was so very happy to have found my perfect dress with the perfect fit at the perfect dress shop. I highly recommend!
GUEST




My mom purchased my vintage inspired Maggie Satterro wedding gown and J'aime Bridal and we couldn't have been more happy. After shopping at 3 different bridal stores J'aime Bridal stood out with their customer service and beautiful selection of dresses.It was great that she had so many styles from Maggie Satterro which ranged in price, Jaime actually picked out my dress! I also purchased my veil from her as well as 4 bridesmaids dresses.All of our dresses arrived when expected and she uses Monika from Monika's Alterations and Apparel for alterations whom I have been going to for several years. Jaime is very sweet and good at what she does without pressuring you like some other bridal salons. Job well done!!
GUEST




Fantastic bridal boutique. First rate service...so personalized. The staff is very knowledgable and helpful. Bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses were perfect. They definitely know their "stuff". I would highly recommend this bridal store and Jaimie in particular to anyone that is looking for that very SPECIAL look!!! They deliver!!!
GUEST




Very cute remodeled boutique... They have a great selection of dresses for affordable prices. I ordered a dress from them by Marisa. They didn't actually carry a sample of the dress I wanted, but they were able to order any design by Marisa. I was able to buy the dress from J'aime Bridal for $800 less than the boutique where I tried it on. Although they don't have their own seamstress, they referred me to a great seamstress a few blocks away. My only complaint is that they aren't responsive to emails. You need to leave them voice messages.

J'aime Bridal was the first boutique I went to in search of my wedding dress. I was not one of those brides who scoured through catalogs, magazines, websites, television shows in search of 'the one'. Truthfully, I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted to wear.After doing a few online searches, I am so pleased I made my first appointment here.The customer service was superb and the dress selection was great! The staff was quite helpful, patient and most importantly - personable.I felt like a fairytale princess each time I went to try on dresses!Before I made my dress decision, I wanted to quell my curiosity and ventured to another boutique who shall remain unnamed. I was extremely disappointed with their customer service and selection.Without question I returned to J'aime Bridal and got my dress. I also chose to order my bridesmaid dresses through J'aime and was very satisfied! Thank you so much J'aime Bridal for making the dress shopping experience easy and fun!!
GUEST




We purchased everything from J'aime Bridal. Our four kids were in the wedding, two grown children and two younger children. Three girls and a boy in all. Then of course our flower girl who couldn't have been cuter! We also rented the tuxes from J'aime Bridal. It was difficult to dress such a large age range in our children...10 years old to 22 years old. We were able to work with Jaime and find age appropriate dresses that worked for us. The tuxes we rented were not traditional black, but a beautiful chocolate brown. We loved everything and Jaime was very very helpful! The store provides great customer service and we loved the experience.




J'aime Bridal is the best bridal shop ever, I went in to get one of my BM who lives out of town measured for a dress that I'd already chosen at a shop in Sacramento. We had been looking for dress shops all day who didn't charge a fee just to get measurements, and J'aime bridal happened to be the only one. We went in I and saw the Bridal gown that I'd fallen in love with at another store but they wanted to charge me way to much and the girls there were so nice they let me try it on without an appt. and I was just in heaven. The dress was slightly cheaper there but the owner J'aime was so nice she gave me a great deal and even ordered the gown in the style that had more embelishments on the bodice and gave me a great deal on all my bridesmaid dresses and she told me that if any of my BMs had to pay for measurments anywhere she'd reimburse their money! On top of all that she even gave me a gift card to her shop for assessories. J'aime is so professional and treats her customers so well. She is just awesome and all the girls that work there are awesome as well. I'd recommend her shop to any bride in the Bay Area, I live in Sacramento and was happy to purchase from her shop because she was sooo helpful and patient with me.

I have had a wonderful experience with J'aime Bridal since my first encounter. My mom and I were on Main Street and passed by the store just by chance. We decided to just go in and look (I did not have an appointment to try on dresses). Renee helped us and she was more than willing to let me try on a few dresses right then and there!I decided to make an appointment to come back with my aunt and sister. When we came on that day, Renee helped us again. She was so helpful in how to choose styles and she was beyond patient when I was having difficulty choosing between 2 dresses. When I made my decision, the manager was willing to sell me the sample dress so I could stay within my budget. Since I bought my dress there, my bridesmaids were able to get a 20% discount on their dresses. Their dresses turned out beautifully and came in plenty of time before the wedding. I ordered them late, but J'aime was very helpful in assuring me they would arrive in time.I was also impressed that when I was checking out their hair clips and jewels, they let me take the samples in the store to my hair consultation. That was so helpful- I was able to see what my hair stylist could do with all the clips, without having to buy a bunch of different ones and waste money.I am so glad I happened upon this store. I had planned to go to David's Bridal since I had a tight budget, but J'aime certainly was within my budget range. Not to mention that they were completely professional, helpful, and sincere. I will definitely be recommending my friends to this store!
GUEST




Jamie at J'aime was wonderful. All the employees were very sweet and helpful. I told them what I was looking for in style, as well as price, and they helped me find the perfect dress. I never felt pressured to try on dresses outside of my budget. I loved J'aime Bridal so much I ordered my bridesmaids dresses through them too!
GUEST




I could not recommend this store more! I learned of the shop through my three friends who purchased their wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses through Jamie. From the moment I walked in, I never felt pressured. Jamie, the shop owner helped me, and I felt like she had the perfect balance of being available without hovering. Although Jamie as always nearby and ready to help when I needed, my friend and I felt we had the space to talk freely about each dress without Jamie always having to be right there involved. At the same time, although she had allowed us to make our own judgements, by the end of the visit, it was clear that she had carefully listened and considered what is was that I liked about each dress and made great recommendations for how I could get the best of both world in the one dress I kept coming back to. I visited her shop 3 TIMES to try on my favorite dress before purchasing it, and I got excellent, pressure-free service every time. She was very knowledgeable about the designers and was able to answer questions that other shops had to go look up, and still often couldn't answer. We were able to take pictures of the dresses to help reconsider when we got home. They fully disclosed all information about the dresses. I never felt uncomfortable telling them my price range and felt like a valued customer even though it was a lower-mid-range budget. Although it is a smaller shop, they carried every dress I had liked from the larger ones I had visited AND the dresses were often $100-$200 LESS! They also had my shoes for $15 LESS than what I saw online and in other bridal shops! In my search for that perfect wedding dress, I visited 5 different shops and J'aime Bridal was the only one in which I felt completely comfortable and satisfied with my experience. I highly recommend checking out J'aime Bridal!




I adore J'aime Bridal. They are a smaller shop, but not at all short on service. All the ladies who work there are warm, welcoming, and super helpful. My dress was the second one that I tried on a J'aime. They just happened to be having a Maggie Sottero Trunk Show sale, so I received an additional $100 off.
Also, if you purchase your dress there, your bridesmaids receive 20% off their dresses. We had a bit of mishap with one of the bridesmaids dresses, and J'aime Bridal took care of it quickly. They are awesome! I refer everyone looking for a dress to them.




It had been a long day of disappointing dress shopping. My mom and I went to a few bridal shops including David's Bridal which was the WORST customer service I have ever received anywhere. On our way home I was so discouraged and my mom remembered this small bridal boutique in downtown Pleasanton which is located across the street from where my husband and I got engaged. I really didn't want to do any more shopping, but I let my mom talk me into just stopping by to look. We didn't have an appointment and there was a couple other brides there, but the staff was so sweet and even let me try on a few dresses. I was shocked!!! It was so cute and the dress shop was just the perfect atmosphere of what a boutique should be! They had so many amazing dresses that I was overwhelmed and all had such reasonable prices compared to others I have tried. My spirits were lifted!!! We made an appointment and I returned probably 4 times to try on different dresses, each time finding one that I like more. They were super flexible and accommodating. They even allow you to take pictures which no other bridal shop will allow and this is what ultimately helped me make my decision. All the dresses truly look different on camera! When I finally found the dress of my dreams it was part of a trunk show so it had $100 off the tag price. I went home and researched prices and theirs was the cheapest ANYWHERE the dress was $1300+ anywhere else and it was listed for $1100 at J'aime. It was slightly over my price limit, but Jamie worked with me and gave me a deal as long as I bought my bridesmaids dresses there which wasn't difficult since there were a lot to choose from. I also ordered my shoes there which were surprisingly comfortable and dyed to match my "antique" ivory dress. The only set back we had was with the flower girl dress. It came in and was much too small. So we reordered. The next one was longer, but still too tight so they reordered again only someone forgot to send the order. 3 weeks before the wedding and I didn't know what to do. The owner Jamie offered to take the dress and alter it herself (it just needed to be let out a little) at no extra cost. Come the day of everything was perfect and all worked out!!! Thanks J'aime =)

I had a great experience at J'aime Bridal. I was helped by Erin. All the employees in that salon is really laid back, really sweet and helpful if needed to be. The salon is small but has a lot of beautiful dresses and good selections of other needs. Appointment is a must but dont bring a lot of people with you. Opinions in a small space is overwheming. I would recommend a trunk sale time to buy your dress. They recommend Monika'a Alterations for your bustle and alterations...Monika is awesome!!
I also had an appointment for bridesmaid dresses there too. I have 1 MOH and seven bridesmaids. It was crowded :). It was a good experience but at the end, I decided to get dresses else where. They do not have sizes over 10. So 3 of my girls just had to watch the other girls model and we had to imagine how it would look on them...not so good. but overall no complaints!




I worked with Amy and she was awesome! It was a combined experience for me from other salons I have visited. They allow you to browse through the selection AND bring you some that you may like. Just with any other bridal salon, go with an idea of what you like.
I was able to take pictures, I didn't feel rushed at all and there was absolutely no pressure. She wrote down the style numbers, designer, and price of each dress I liked at the end for me too! She welcomed me to come again another time to try on the dress. It is definitely a small place, and I went on a weekday so I had the place all to myself. I could see how it could get crowded however, which is why you should make an appointment. Happy shopping!!
GUEST




I had a great experience at J'aime Bridal. The staff was not pushy and allowed me to take time to make my own decisions. They did not seem annoyed when I asked a bunch of questions and I appreciate the expert advice. The best part is they match online/local prices and allowed cameras. This was very important to me as my MOH is overseas and I want her to be involved in my dress selection process.




I had a great experience at J'aime Bridal. The people there were not pushy and were quite patient with me. The salon is small but has a good selection. They even matched prices that I found from other Bay Area stores. I highly recommend them.
GUEST




As I was looking for my dream dress I realized I could get it from a few different places, so I chose to buy it from the store who had the best customer service in my eyes!Jaime and her staff went above and beyond in my dress buying experience!It's true they don't have someone in their boutique that does alterations, she's actually down the street, and she preforms miracles!I'm so fortunate to have bought my dress through them, they really went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and secure!I highly recommend them!
GUEST




Great service! This was the first place I went and I was preparing myself for sticker shock but I was shocked when I got there at how great the prices were. I was able to try on dresses and pick what I liked without looking at price tags and making a decision before I even put the dress on. They let me take pictures of myself in the dress (I hear a lot of places won't let you.) Amy the consultant who was helping me let me try on as many dresses as I needed to and was very helpful and patient. I would highly recommend you check this place out!




I was helped by Lauren who was wonderful! I had tried on my dress here early on in my hunt for the dress. I ended up buying a different dress at a different bridal salon but for the next month, kept thinking about the dress at J'aime Bridal. Finally, I ended up going there and trying it on again, and probably kept it on in the store for about an hour! Lauren was patient with me, knowing I had a big decision to make. I ended up buying the dress and selling the first one I bought. I even bought my veil and headpiece from J'aime Bridal. I love this store- they really take care of you and your dress!!
GUEST




The girls at J'aime Bridal are awesome. I nearly purchased my bridesmaid dresses here (and only purchased elsewhere because I went with a line not carried by the store) and I did purchase my hair accessories and day-of shoes here. The shoes were very reasonably priced (and comfortable - if you can believe that) - which with all the other wedding costs was a wonderful feeling. The girls helped me select the perfect hair piece from the catalogue. I was contacted both times the items came into the shop (about three weeks before my wedding, which was perfect considering that I left these two items towards the end of my long to-do list. I would highly recommend any woman consider this shop when making wedding attire purchases.
GUEST




My experience with the shop was mixed. I thought that Jaime (the owner of the store) was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating with the whole dress process. The other women and girls who helped me out were less knowledgeable and weren't very professional. The downside to this store is that they don't offer alterations in the store, but do have nearby recommendations.
GUEST




Found my dream dress at J'aime's. I never would have tried it on if the sales person hadn't brought it to me in the dressing room.




I had a great experience with this store. They were nice and helpful, they let me try on as many dresses as I wanted and take pictures. I have nothing but good things to say about my experience.
GUEST




I looked at many stores before I found "the dress." J'aime provided the best service of all the stores I went to. They also have a gorgeous selection of dresses- also the best I encountered. I bought my dress from them and was very satisified (and beautiful in the gown!:)
GUEST




I loved J'aime bridal. It is a small shop, so you aren't overwhelmed by a million dresses. What I liked best about it, though, was the fact that I could try on any dress and not have a $10,000 tag on the one I liked. The focus on reasonable prices (mostly under $2000) was a big plus for me. The staff was amazing and I wasn't worried about anything. Highly Recommended.
GUEST




I found the dress of my dreams at J'amie Bridal. in addition to having a great atmosphere, all the clerks are very helpful.
GUEST




The only down side for me was that I could get my dress altered on site. Otherwise, I was thrilled! Everyone went out of the way to help me and my girls. Jaime even ordered my bridesmaid dress so I could see if to be sure and only charged me cost. I have since recommended many friends to J'aime and they have all purchased their bridal attire there because of the service and the more affordable prices. One girlfriend of mine found her dress at another store and bought it from J'aime because it was $500 less!




What a wonderful bridal salon! They have a great selection of reasonably priced gowns. They made a Sunday appointment for me to try on dresses, when the store was closed -- it was great! They encouraged me to take pictures and take some time to make my decision -- totally low pressure! They had everything I needed -- veil, tiara, and comfortable, affordable shoes. Their communication was great -- they called me after they ordered the dress, when they got a ship date, and when the dress arrived (earlier than expected). They even picked up my dress from the alterations place and steamed it, which saved me from making another trip to Pleasanton (although the drive is well worth it for this kind of service!). A wonderful place!
GUEST




Hands down, the best vendor I worked with. You will NOT find a better place to get your dress in the area. Best customer service I have ever received in my life. Jamie is fantastic, everything was quick, easy, and pleasant. I bought my bridal gown there, as well as the bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dress, and mother of the groom dress. Also great for shoes, tiaras, veils, etc. Good discount for bridesmaids when you buy your dress.
GUEST




Jaime is so great! Her boutique is small and comfortable and she has a good selection of the hottest wedding dresses available! We had our rehearsal lunch in the backyard behind her shop and it was PERFECT!!! Absolutely adorable! Also, Jaime does day-of wedding coordination and it was some of the best money I spent. Jaime kept my whole day running smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She's extremely sweet and flexible. Go see her!!




My experience with this salon was AMAZING. First of all, I bought all my BM and FG dresses there. The vendor we were interested in was Watters. I had picked a few styles off the vendor website, called around to different salons to see if they had the styles. No one did. So I called J'aime, and they were willing to order in the samples from Watters for my gianormous wedding party (10 maids). They got the samples, girls went and tried on and decided on a style.
When the dresses came in 2 did not fit the girls (all were measured at the shop). I happened to be down there looking at FG dresses and mentioned to the owner that 2 didn't fit (2-3 inch gaps) and that those girls hadn't gained weight. She asked if one of the girls could come in. One lived down the street so bopped in with her dress. Owner measured her, looked at the tag on the dress and the dress was tagged the size that we would have ordered. Maid tries on dress, and owner sees gap. Has maid take off dress and measures the fabric circumfrence. According to the chart, the size should have fit someone 35" around, but it was only 28" of fabric! Owner had Watter re-do the two dresses and Fed Ex them to make in time for the wedding!
Also, we did get our FG dresses there (US Angels), and they were too tight by the time the wedding rolled around. She let us exchange for bigger sizes.
AWESOME to work with! Plus they let you take pics! If they had carried my wedding dress vendor, I would have ordered it there too!
GUEST




a great experience of a lot of variety, a lot of styles, a laid back atmosphere
Great dress inventory, helpful staff, and newly relocated on Main St.
J'aime Bridal provided the wedding dresses for the brides of 2 of our employees, and both of them looked absolutely stunning on their special days. We can offer no higher endorsement than that! Jaime has a gift for helping brides pick their perfect dress, and she is a joy to work with.
As a photographer in the industry, I highly recommend J'aime Bridal.They are extremely professional and knowledgeable.I only refer a very few bridal salons to clients, and they're one of the best.If you are considering purchasing your wedding dress from J'aime Bridal, you will not be disappointed.Yves Mozelsio- YJM PhotographyDanville, CA
