    “Dear Joyce & Cecilia,  I received so many compliments on my dress, people just loved it and that made my day even more special since the dress was one of my favorite elements of the day!  I want to thank you both for all of your help throughout the process of trying on and purchasing this dress from your shop.  You were both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, as well as sweet and easy to work with – a rare combination in your industry as I found.  It was a pleasure working with you and you made the memorable experience of buying a wedding dress an incredibly painless and positive one!  Thank you again, I really appreciate all you did for me throughout my wedding dress trying on/purchasing experience!”

      “Hello Cecilia and Joyce, I want to again thank you so much for helping me find the “Perfect Wedding Dress.” The longer I had this dress on the more I loved it. After our Colorado wedding, when we returned to Hawaii, Steve and I dressed in our wedding attire again and privately celebrated our wedding at LeMer. I also had a beautiful pillow made out of the train material from the dress with the exquisite jewel trim.”

    “Hi Cecilia & Joyce, It was a pleasure working with you in finding the perfect bridesmaids and flower girl dresses. They were absolutely gorgeous! I loved the style and the color because it just complimented each girl’s skin tone and body type perfectly. They all looked beautiful on the wedding day, which was exactly what I was hoping for. You guys made things so much more easier for me, especially when times got a little stressful. It was nice to be greeted so warmly by you two no matter how many times I entered your store. =)  I’m quite sure it was more than the average bride…lol! I always felt welcomed and special! I wish every store could follow your example because it really makes a difference.”

Thanks again,

“I know this may seem out of the blue, but I just had to write and tell you that I’m so happy to be working with you both on my wedding.  The dress was such a huge purchase and such a huge decision for me that it even kept me up at nights thinking about it.  And now, I know the order has only just been placed and we are a long way from the end of the process, but I feel so happy and, for lack of a better word, comfortable (in a great way!) having made this decision–I was actually able to sleep well last night!  You two have been wonderful, and I really look forward to working with you more…and I hope that many, many, MANY other brides will make the same decision to ask you to help them with their weddings too.”

Thank you,

I did receive the Belsoie scarlet jacket. It looks terrific with the gown. The sleeves need hemming but it fits great otherwise.

Because of you, it made it so much easier. Your wedding dress boutique was the 1st stop & my last. I did not have to do my hunting for that perfect dress. You made my search stop in minutes. Brandon loved it

Thanks to Yee Mei for making the final touches to fit. I couldn’t wait to wear it on my BIG DAY.

You all are wonderful! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.”

Thank you so much for the bridesmaid and maid of honor dresses. I loved how they looked! We were very pleased with all your help to order and alter the dresses. They were beautiful!

Thank you also for allowing me to do an alteration consult for my gown, even though it was purchased somewhere else. I appreciated the opinion of another person in regards to alterations.

We were all very happy with you and the staff at the Bridal Boutique.”

“Dear Cecilia and the gang at Bridal Boutique,

Words cannot express how much I love my wedding dress from your shop. Thank you so much for making my dress buying experience the most hassle free and stress free part of my wedding! Your staff’s professionalism truly shines and thank you for your continued letters even though I’ll buy my dress only once in my life.

I have taken many great shots w/ this Jasmine dress and w/ the help of 2 photographers. What Jasmine has on their website doesn’t do any justice to just how beautiful and well made this dress is.

Here are a few pictures from my special day. If you need more photos to persuade future brides, let me know. This dress was a show piece in itself!”

Pam (Chang) Leis

“Dear Joyce and Cecilia,

I was so blessed to have found your boutique. Things weren’t going right with my wedding dress that was supposed to be custom made. I had 5 locations to see and yours was the first. I never understood when people used to say “you’ll just know when it’s THE dress.” After Joyce pulled out a dress that she thought I’d like I didn’t want to take it off. It was “the one.” Things really do happen for a reason, if I didn’t find my dress there, I would have went to all the other places and would have been late for my surprise shower. Thank you so much…you all are so nice and patient there! I’ll recommend you to everyone I know. (Thank you also to Yee Mei for creating my french bustle.)”

Cecilia, the minute I stepped into your boutique…you made me feel special and confident. My wedding gown was so beautiful, and I received many compliments for it. I truly felt like a Cinderella Princess. You guys helped make my planning process a wonderful experience, because you went above and beyond with your services. Not only did you assist me with selecting my gown, but you also were able to help me with the alterations of 3 other gowns for my reception. I really appreciated when Cecilia dropped off one of the bridesmaid’s dresses to the hotel during high traffic time, the evening before the wedding!!! That took a load of stress away from me.

The color scheme with my bridesmaids dresses were awesome! They looked so beautiful, and absolutely stunning in photos. Everybody was pleased with the dresses and especially the services they received from you both. I would highly recommend Bridal Boutique to any brides-to-be.”
