3 Best Bridal Shops in Long Beach, CA

A year ago, I came with my family to shop for a wedding dress. I went in thinking "I'm just here to look" and left with my dream wedding dress (and later, veil)! Here's the recap of my experience: **Exceptional Staff: From start to finish, everyone was so friendly and respectful. During the dress shopping experience, they treated my family with patience and kindness, while making sure that my choice was the most important! Even though my family kept pointing out dresses that weren't my style, my attendant went to the back and pulled the perfect dress for me. It was the only one like it in the store and it felt like it was made for me. I couldn't believe it! During my fitting appointments, staff were ready to help me with my every need without feeling too overwhelming or pushy. **Pricing: The quality was incredible for the price. Can't beat those Black Friday deals! They were transparent about pricing and tailoring from the moment I booked my appointment. **Location: They are well stocked with a variety of inclusive sizes. My only criticism is that the lighting in the back is harsh and unflattering in photos compared to the natural light in the front of the store. It's a small old space that smells a little funny sometimes and is in need of a bit of a glow up. **Alterations: The tailor they work with in-house was amazing and very affordably priced - Anne Henry from AM Henry Dress Studio. Overall, shopping at Strut Bridal was a fun, welcoming, and inclusive, rather than stuffy and pretentious. If you want to feel like a queen on your wedding day, come shop here!

I went for my first bridal appointment at Strut after finding it online. I was SO nervous going in but my stylist Tamiko was AMAZING. She asked a lot of questions to help me decide what aesthetic I was looking for. I was impressed by the variety of dresses they have and they are size inclusive. I’m 6 ft tall and wear a size 18/20 so having things that fit well can be a challenge. This store had a plethora of dresses that I could try on. I drove out here from Orange County and can 100% say it was worth it. The staff is friendly, the store is size inclusive and has affordable price points. I ended up buying my dress here. Highly recommend.

Strut Bridal was everything a bride like me could have asked for. It’s a very low-key boutique but with so much to offer. Teah was the employee who helped me out and she was very knowledgeable and sweet. She helped me try on all the dresses I chose from the rack and listened to all my questions and explained things thoroughly. I found my absolute dream dress, it’s exactly what I envisioned what I would be wearing on my big day. And on top of that, it’s so affordable! They offer payment plans if you’re a bride on a budget as well. If you’re looking for your wedding dress I highly recommend checking here, you never know if your dream dress is waiting for you.

They have all the items you need for a Cambodian wedding. I would say if you mind traditional ways of setting things up and not getting a timeline or how things work, I would thread lightly. Not worth the stress and miscommunication from this store if they are helping you set up a Cambodian ceremony and reception. They can pull thru last minute but that's towards the end of the night. Not recommended for younger adults getting married. Also keep a copy of your contracts and sizes, they tend to get lost.

When you walk in your eyes will be opened up by the beauty. Lots is traditional Khmer clothing and the owner knows her stuff.

Nice people answered all our questions. Wide variety of Khmer outfits.
