Erin has a super kind and bright energy which makes you feel comfortable in front of cameras. She is very talented and creative! Erin, Cassie, Damien, and Jordan captured so wonderful images and videos on the wedding day. They were so patient and easy to work with. It was pouring at night and Erin came up with such a brilliant idea, taking pictures in the rain! She took my husband and me outside but we were not standing in the rain of course. Thanks to Cassie (who was the one “really” in the rain) holding lights, Erin captured such a beautiful and amazing shot!! We shared with our family and friends, they were all speechless. I highly recommend Erin and her team and can't wait to work with them again in the future!! More...

I sent an online request for an appointment and immediately heard back from someone at the shop. I didn't need an appointment because I was only looking at accessories for my dress. I went on a Saturday afternoon and Debbie helped me. She was great. I ended up purchasing earrings, bracelet and a birdcage veil. More...

I had my heart set on a specific dress of a European designer. 5 Google minutes later I found out Erin Cole Bridal was pretty much the only store representing these design treasures so they were my first and last stop. I spoke to Tara on the phone, we immediately connected and I drove down to the store. The dress fitted like a glove and Tara was so kind to help me out with the financial arrangements. I was so taken by the amazing service and swift treatment that I build trust in the store employees right away. I felt we shared the same taste and could speak openly about preferences without feeling that it's only about money. So over the following month the Erin Cole staff and I discussed my veil wishes based on a vintage design and they custom manufactured it for me in the same material my dress was made out of. And for a perfectly reasonable price. It was wonderful and looked just perfect. All around my wedding dress shopping was fast, fun and all around a lovely experience. Thank you Tara for your help and thank you Erin Cole for tastefully and carefully selecting the designers you represent in your boutique. I could not have had a better experience shopping for such important dress. More...

Erin Cole Couture Bridal fulfilled all of my wedding dress #goals. After searching endlessly all over Orange County and Beverly Hills, I went to Erin Cole as a last option before my mom left town. (Because it's such a small boutique, I didn't think there was any point in going.... I mean, I tried on hundreds of gowns.... How could this little boutique possibly have something I hadn't already seen?!) We walked in without an appointment on a Tuesday morning (in workout clothes and no makeup) and quickly scanned the racks while telling the sales associate - Debbie - that I simply couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. Debbie asked a few questions and then said "You mean like this " and pointed to an absolute masterpiece hanging on the back wall. We were in a hurry with mom's flight leaving in only 2 hours and Debbie urged me to quickly try it on, just in case. Upon stepping into my dream wedding gown with Debbie's careful assistance, I can only describe the feeling as true Bliss. I cried instantly upon seeing myself in the mirror and just knew it was a match made in heaven. My mom got to witness (and film!!) the entire thing and it was perfect. Debbie and Nazee (the alterations goddess) were flawless throughout the entire process and I highly recommend them to any SoCal bride. The collection is carefully curated, unique, special, and well worth your consideration, while the staff is second to none. Thank you Erin Cole Couture Bridal for having the foresight during Fashion Week to know that a special bride in Newport Beach, CA has been dreaming of Monique Lhuillier's Aviva dress (in So White) her whole life. You made my day! More...

This is a lovely bridal salon.  It has a nice open feel and was very pleasant.  They have a wonderful selection of high end designers and will go out of their way to find a dress that works for you.  They very quickly picked up on my style and pulled dresses I couldn't have guessed would look good, but did!  I didn't end up getting my dress here but it was by far the best experience I had trying on dresses.  Of course, their accessories are also top notch!

I came here as my second stop. It was very small with not many dresses to choose from. The dresses were all very expensive too (I came in with a $5-6k budget) I had already found a dress at the first place but wanted to check another spot just in case. I did find one that I almost bought here. It was very beautiful but it had less than the first dress and twice the price before alterations. Even though having a small selection they did have pretty dresses but I ended up going back to the first place. Also the fitting room was very tiny. I guess I was just already spoiled from the first store. More...

Beautiful and unique bridal collection! Whilst there are so many different styles and options to choose from, the dresses are carefully curated so it isn't overwhelming. Range of budgets, though the veils were a bit expensive. The bridal consultant and shop manager are very professional, sincere, and have a keen eye for what would suit your body type and style. I went to a couple shops before, and the atmosphere here is one of the nicest I'd seen. I had an idea and some photos with me, but the consultant actually suggested a few different options, and I am so pleased I trusted her. I ended up with the most perfect dress, suited to me, which combined all the elements I loved from several dresses, but was actually a dress I would never have picked myself. Funny how that happens! The seamstresses were so meticulous and talented, and very patient with me across the 3 fittings. Since I live abroad, I only had 2 weeks before the wedding for the final 2 fittings and despite the short time, and the amount of hand stitching needed due to the delicate embellishments, she made it happen.

We came to Erin Cole Couture Bridal Salon on a recommendation, and we were WOWED at every turn. Erin is an absolute doll, very friendly and and gave us great ideas. I liked that one of the first questions was what was our budget, so she could show us dresses that were within that window. Tara was a god-send, fitting, poofing, pulling, zipping, tucking and adjusting. We had an appointment, and because there was no one else in there after us, we ran way over, but the final dress was worth the trying on of all the others. It was a special day for me and my daughter to share, and the beginning of what will hopefully, be a wonderful and memorable year. Thank you Erin and THANK YOU BIG to Tara!!! We can't post the picture, yet, but would love to revise this review after the wedding. More...

I love this store and I love Tara.  It has the BEST wedding dress selection in all of OC, hands down.  It had the best selection when we were searching for my sister's wedding dress and it had the best selection when we were searching for my wedding dress late last year/early this year.  Also, the  staff is the friendliest (despite the fact that the store is higher end) and most knowledgeable of all the stores we visited.  I fell in love with a Monique L. dress at Erin Cole, but I ended up buying another dress from another store due to budget concerns (I insisted on trying on dresses that were outside of my budget despite Tara's warning).  But I made another big mistake by not communicating my budget concerns to Tara from the beginning.  Instead, I assumed there was nothing that could be done and bought a dress from another store.  That turned into a major fiasco.  Long story short, two months passed and I needed another dress.  I called Tara and explained the whole situation to her.  First off, she remembered me.  Second, she was super understanding, didn't make me feel stupid, and made herself immediately available. She also convinced the owner to let me purchase the sample dress at a discount, which was still in mint condition.  I wouldn't have been able to get the dress without Tara's help considering I had already paid for another dress and wasn't sure if I'd be able to get my money back.  In short, I love Tara.  She's not only great at what she does, but she's caring and nice.

Don't go anywhere else to get your wedding dress!  Erin Cole is the best in the business--Erin herself knows her stuff and is such a great stylist and has a great eye. She can help you pick out a dress that fits the look you are going for but also makes you look your best.  I live in LA and hated all the bridal stores there--Erin's shop carries so many great designers and she has the most beautiful dresses and accessories. And, you dont feel rushed and pressured at all!  I think they only have one appointment at a time, so you are their priority when you walk in.   Tara and Debbie are amazing as well and Nazzie (spelling?) the seamstress is awesome once you do your fittings.  Seriously--make the trip from wherever you live and get your dress here.  Erin is so talented--she makes the veils and accessories herself.  You will look and feel so gorgeous on your big day with her help.  Love you Erin!!!

I live in the area and stopped by on a whim to look at dresses. Despite the fact that I was wearing work out gear, had no make-up on and was by myself, Kate warmly greeted me. Her appointment just canceled, so for fun, she pulled dresses for me to try on. It was the best impromptu shopping experience I've ever had.  There were two dresses that I liked, but I wasn't confident that either was 100% right plus it was the first store. About 2 weeks later Kate called me to ask me if I wanted to come in for a trunk show and sample sale. She had a dress in mind that she thought I would like. Unfortunately the designer called the dress back and I was not able to try it on. I retried on the first 2 dresses along with the trunk show dresses, but still felt like I hadn't found the right dress for me. Kate called me again to check in (I have a fairly tight turn around time and she was concerned that I was cutting it close). I called her back with my mom and asked if there was anything else she could find for me. Despite giving her 30 minutes notice, she said no problem that she would go through her stock again and be ready when we arrived. This time the gown she originally had in mind for me was in and another I had initially passed over. I loved both of them. After trying them on another 5 times each (literally), I decided on my dress. I can't thank Kate enough for her patience and follow-up. She listened to what I wanted while also having an eye for what looked good on me. I (well actually Kate) found an amazing dress that was in budget and fit my personalty perfectly. My mom was thrilled as well- she said it was the best dress shopping experience she's had as a mom. I can't wait to receive my dress!!! Thanks Kate for all of your help.

I had such an amazing experience at Erin Cole I wanted to share. I visited numerous salons and could not find a dress that was "me" until I walked into Erin Cole. I live in LA, but made the drive to Cosa Mesa for a trunk show. Not only did I find my dream Oscar de la Renta dress, but the sales manager, Tara Tombrello, helped me bring it all together with the perfect accessories -- veil, earrings, necklace, bracelet. Since I went with a  clean/ classic sheath dress, my Erin Cole accessories were actually the eye draw that I got the most compliments on. Everyone was in awe of the amazing accessories that pulled the look together perfectly. Plus, unlike my dress I can wear the accessories forever as a memory of my special day.  And Tara was so lovely to work with every step of the way. Unlike other sales reps that I felt rushed me or would say anything to make a sale, I felt Tara really listed to me and cared about the final look, regardless of a sale. The tailor, Nazie, was also amazing to work with and got my dress to fit perfectly and be super comfortable. Love this shop! More...

AMAZING customer service. I went to Erin Cole and worked with Kate and Erin. You couldn't ask for better assistance in picking out your wedding dress. Not only are they both extremely patient, but they are both very honest. Erin is extremely talented and can execute your vision of how you want your dress to look. Whether this means adding or subtracting material, she can make it happen. Erin's Veils and accessories are AMAZING!!!!! I have never seen any veils like hers. They are truly unique and really completes the look. I went to the Vera Wang Boutique and Monique boutique in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, where I received decent service, but at Erin Cole, it was superior service and truly genuine service. At EC, You are not just an appointment filling a time slot, they take their time with you and don't rush you out like they do at the VW boutique.  They also follow up with you which I think is very important. You can tell how passionate Erin is about her business. I couldn't recommend this place enough. More...

The lovely ladies at Erin Cole (Kara and Kate) made the stressful process of finding the "one" - in this case a stunning Monique Llulier fit & flare gown - an absolute pleasure for me. They were sweet, accommodating and really went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for the big day. I actually visited many other stores (Saks, Panache, Monique Llulier) with my family and friends and tried on at least 30 dresses. After hearing glowing recommendations about Erin Cole from my event planners, I drove all the way from LA by myself to see if I could find something without the influences of any one else. Within 30 minutes, I was in the dress of my dreams and later found the perfect vail to match. Though the accessories were a little expensive, they were not much more than most stores of that caliber. Overall, I felt like I had known these wonderful women for years and I can't thank them enough for all their help. More...

My bridal consultant was Kate and she was fantastic.My appointment was at 4 PM yesterday and I was the only client in the boutique (I anticipated this and it was a reason I scheduled a weekday appointment). It is an intimate boutique with a small but beautiful selection of dresses. Or as my mom said, "it looks like each gown was hand chosen/personally selected to be there." I have to agree with her. Every single gown was beautiful and if I had the time and energy, I would have tried on all the dresses! The dresses were on the floor for us to browse through.There are three platforms in front of the wall-long mirror so I am assuming the boutique can handle a max of 3 brides at a time. I tried on about 5-6 dresses in an hour long appointment. I don't think I took the entire hour though- by my own choice. Kate was mindful of my budget and understood what I wanted in a dress. She even made some selections I would never have considered but once on, was very flattering. Kate also asked for my mom's opinion, despite the language barrier, and I appreciated that Kate was able to pick up on the importance of my mom's opinion to me and included my mom in the process.All the gowns here are in very good shape, which I didn't realize until now makes a big difference in getting a good picture of hat you will look like on your wedding day. When I went shopping for a gown at Saks Bridal NYC (I really do have to write a review of that place), all the gowns were torn, dirty, grey, and had holes. Mind you, I only tried on 3 gowns but it still killed the whole "pretty white dress" vibe.While I did not find "the dress" or rather I should say did not get "this is my dress/you'll just know feeling" my friends talk about (damn you media making me feel like I need to cry and get "the feeling" when trying on a wedding dress), I did find a dress I liked a lot and my mom liked a lot. I scheduled another appointment to come back with my brother and dad for their opinions on the dress.My only minor concern is that alterations/fittings are only available on certain days. My career requires me to travel 5 days out of a week and sometimes through the weekend so this may be an issue for me. This is my first month I'm in one location for longer than 3 days in two years which is why I'm taking advantage of the time to go dress shopping for a wedding that's not for another year!Overall, my experience at Erin Cole was great! Kate's a fantastic consultant and her experience really shows. She's able to make great suggestions that will be flattering on you even if it is not what you envisioned yourself in. She's even better at picking out dresses matching your specifications. More...

Thank you Kate for your patience, enthusiasm, and most importantly, not making me feel like you're trying to sale me a dress! I walked out of there not feeling pressured to buy anything; I ended up saying yes to the dress after thinking it over some more.There were a lot of quality (also read: expensive; but you get what you pay for) gowns. I already knew what I wanted but didn't want to drive all the way to LA to try on the VW. They worked with me and matched VW's flagship offer.Pros:-lots of beautiful designer gowns-great customer service (I worked with Kate)-beautiful boutique-easy parkingCons:-expensive (but worth it if it's in your budget) More...

I found the unexpected dress of my dreams here during a trunk show. The store is kind of small, but it makes it nice and intimate- I think there's room for only 3 brides at a time max. There were mini red velvet cupcakes to eat, and we were served champagne after choosing the dress. Kate was my bridal stylist, and she found some dresses that really suited my style. She also did a good job of managing my small but opinionated group. I tried on about ten before finding the dress. It was over my planned budget,, but it ended up being the one I loved the most. The staff there was really friendly, including the seamstress in charge of alterations. My dress came in on time and the fittings went smoothly. A great place to find your wedding dress. More...

I absolutely loved my dress. The stylist was fantastic! She picked a bunch of dresses that fit my style and were gorgeous. They are a bit on the higher end but their dresses, sashses and veils are amazing.

They also altered my dress and it fit like a dream.

The only critique I have is that they forgot about my sash and it wasn't ready for my first fitting. I had asked about doing a different color and they were going to check but never called me.

All the staff though is super nice and makes you feel like a princess.

I came in here with my MIL, made of honor, and 7 week old baby. All of the girls in the store are very nice and helpful. They didn't mind that I had my baby with me, and she was fussing a little bit while I was trying dresses on. My consultant was Veronica, and I would recommend her to anyone who plans on a scheduling an appointment at this boutique. I had a Vera Wang gown in mind, and she showed me others that she thought would be just as flattering. She really seemed to understand my style, and the look I wanted to create. I know this because she nailed it with all the accessories. In the end I just couldn't decide between two gowns. So, I left with a big decision to make. Veronica understood where I was coming from, and not once did I feel pressured. I would highly recommend this salon to a bride not only looking for a beautiful gown, but trying to complete their entire look. You can't go wrong here! Ask for Veronica! More...

Great boutique with high fashion, personal attention and pretty jewelry.The staff and owner Erin Cole really went out of their way to help me try and find 'the dress'- they jacked me up and even took an Ipad video so I could see myself walk in the dress I liked best. While I did not wind up getting my dress there, I definitely recommend, especially if you are looking in the OC area. More...

I recently went to Erin Cole after a few unsuccessful trips looking for a dress. I have to say it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. She had Elizabeth Fillmore in the store for a trunk show and everyone who worked there was so friendly and helpful. They made me feel so comfortable the entire time. Erin Cole was there as well and she was just the greatest - contributing her thoughts and ideas the whole time which again, was so incredibly helpful. I would recommend this store to any bride looking for her perfect dress. The selection was unbeatable and the attention and treatment was a five-star experience! More...

This place is hands down the most amazing place to buy your wedding dress. From the moment I came in the store I felt welcomed:) Veronica and Erin Cole herself helped me pick out my dress, earrings, vail and sash. Erin even did an updo in my hair to show me how the vail and headpiece would work. They took so much time out to make sure my special day was amazing. Every bride should check out this store and buy "the dress" here too! More...

Erin Cole Couture Bridal lived up to the name. Here is the short version...Stylists are very gracious, knowledgeable and are great listeners! Erin Cole is passionate about her accessories, dresses and will astound you will her fashion sense.Beautiful environment, the entire staff is tremendously helpful.Erin Cole Couture was the third salon we visited, the experience was the BEST by far.5 + stars.If you would like a more detailed  version, read below!From the moment you walk through the front door, the dresses. & accessories along with the stylists and the decor set the tone for a very special experience.The stylists are gracious, knowledgeable and best of all they listen!  My niece met with her stylist Kate and was asked a few questions to determine some specifics about the wedding day, if there was a certain dress or style she had in mind. The last question and very important was price-range. The last thing you want is to fall in love with a dress and have it be out of your comfort zone. Kate honored all the information and began pulling dresses. She encouraged the group to look through the dresses and offer suggestions as well.The next think you know, a door opened and out floated the most beautiful young lady in a gorgeous dress. Oohing, awing and dabbing a tear from our eyes, Kate then accessorized the dress with an amazing jeweled sash, gorgeous earrings and completed the look by twisting her hair into a gorgeous side bun. As much as everyone loved the look, there were few more dresses to try.Never once was there a feeling of being rushed or feeling like a decision needed to be made, pronto. The experience evolved as it should, with the "bride to be" narrowing the dresses down to 2. With that Erin, the stores namesake and most kind host, asked to see the B2B in both dresses while walking from one end of the store to the other, having the bride feel the experience in both dresses and seeing the movement of the dress Erin who is so talented added a french mesh veil, pinned it as a blusher and transported the dress into a stunning couture look.The bride was hit the "LOVE" pillow (you'll see when you are there) &  made her decision. While in the dress, champagne flowed as we toasted to a gorgeous dress for a spectacular day and a very beautiful experience to remember for ever! I would put this salon at the top of your list for your bridal dress & accessory experience. More...
