The Best Bridal Salons in Los Angeles

From Old Hollywood glamour to beachy boho, there is no single definition for a Los Angeles bride. Luckily, the buzzing city is packed with bridal shops ready to make that surfer babe or downtown gal’s dream dress come true. Oh, and the shopping experiences themselves are worthy of a movie. Think red carpets, champagne, and swanky beach shacks; these are the best bridal salons in LA.

LOHO Bride

Making you feel like you're in "a friend's chic apartment" is the philosophy of LOHO Bride. Located along Melrose Avenue, LOHO, which stands for "League of Her Own," offers a curated list of options for the unconventional bride with a cool girl ethos. The boutique offers a variety of options including effortless slip dresses, tailored pantsuits, and structural gowns from contemporary labels such as Odelyne: the Ceremony, Markarian, and Alex Perry.

Kinsley James

This West Hollywood boutique allows VIP appointments where you can rent the whole space and make an event out of your dress shopping. While the store carries top-notch designers like Anne Barge, Netta BenShabu, and Rivini, Kinsley James is also known for its specialty in veils and headpieces from Maria Elena and Toni Federici. They are also the only retailer in the U.S. that carries Paolo Sebastian. Now, that’s a reason to throw a party. Cake, champagne, and wedding gowns, oh my!

Claire Pettibone

If you’re a bride who wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day, then you might as well start your royal bridal journey with your dress shopping. Claire Pettibone's impressive atelier is a "castle-like" 1928 landmark complete with French Empire antiques and enchanting dramatic archways. And the dresses are just as swoon-worthy. Each gown is designed by the in-house team and boasts a romantic vintage vibe that the designer is known for. Expect delicate feminine details, such as elegant lace and intricate embroidery, on the flowy, ethereal options for the bohemian bride.

Pebbles Bridal

The family-run Woodland Hill’s salon opts for a low-key vibe compared to its neighboring Hollywood salons. The store doesn't take any appointments, so brides are free to walk in at their leisure to browse through over a thousand dreamy gowns from designers like Ella Rosa, La Sposa, Stella York, and more. Brides rave about the “casual, homey” store and how they don’t feel pressured as they search through the wide selection of sample dresses in a variety of sizes and price ranges.

Panache Bridals

Everything you’d expect from a Beverly Hills bridal salon is here. You’ve got racks stocked with designers such as Inbal Dror, Romona Keveza, and Pronovias, as well as a red-carpet runway to walk down on while you try them on. Attendants will have a glass of champagne waiting in your room and will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect accessories for your dress. Ask to sit upstairs for even more privacy and request an appointment with the bride-favorite, Chanelle.

Grace Bridal Couture

Have you browsed through a million stores and still haven’t said “yes” to the dress? Then your next stop should be Grace Bridal. Each gown is custom, made-to-measure, and handcrafted by award-winning designer, Loyce Wheatley. “You’re not only getting a dream dress but an experience,” said one bride. Wheatley and her assistant will work with you every step of the way, crafting every detail, until you’re 100% happy with the final product, even if that means last-minute adjustments.
