Beautiful Dresses for all budget brides.

I was a little nervous about going in the Winnie Couture in Beverly Hills just because I don’t have a large budget, but Winnie Couture and the staffs were amazing!!

Amanda, I think was my bridal stylist, who was super friendly and helpful. I selected several dresses to try on, and she helped me try them on with my mother and sister present. When you arrive, you fill out a form with your preferred dress styles and your price range, which I think is great - I would have felt silly trying on a $6,000 dress that I could never afford, and even though there were women definitely there to purchase a dress that cost that much, I didn't feel out of place with my lower budget expectations. Though I was standing in my bra and underwear to try on dresses, the bridal stylists there were so polite and tactful that I felt very comfortable. The dressing rooms where you try on dresses are spacious, new, clean, and comfortable, and the bridal salon itself is stunning and classy. I went there on a Saturday and though it was busy, I never felt rushed or crowded. The bridal stylist even came over to give me a hug good-bye and wish me luck before turning to her next appointment - and that was after working with me for almost two hours!

Amanda and another girl there were very complimentary of the dress I chose, but I didn't feel like it was forced or fake for a moment. Obviously they work there and aim to sell dresses, but as I tried on the other dresses, they were honest about what parts they thought looked good on me and what parts of the other dress were better. My second choice was almost double the cost of the first dress, and was also very pretty, so you'd think if they were in it only to sell a dress they would have pushed the more expensive one, but they didn't at all. When I made my decision, they both smiled and seemed genuinely excited that I had found such a perfect dress that I loved.

The staff there seriously made the experience so wonderful for me. We were offered water, and they treated myself, my mother, and my sister with respect and warmth. I would highly recommend visiting Winnie Couture to anyone searching for the perfect dress!

• Pros: Selection of gowns

Look no further!

I did all my research online so that I'd know what I wanted when I went into a store, and then I looked for a place in town that carried the dress I wanted for that particular designer.

I just found out online that Winnie Couture recently opened up a flagship store in Beverly Hills and on top of it, they are having a launch party. I of course, call and RSVP for me and my girlfriends. The Fashion Show was the bomb! I instantly wanted to get married NOW! So I can wear the dress and walk around feeling pretty!!

I made an appointment the weekend after the launch party. I went to the store and was helped by the lady, who was very friendly and attentive and made me feel confident that I could ask for exactly what I wanted. I told her the dress style, which she looked up, and then she asked if I wanted to look at any other styles. I told her I would, but I told her my budget and said that it was definite, and she never tried to push anything on me or suggest anything that was even close to my limit, which was $3000 max. She offered me cost-saving options that I didn't even know about, and even encouraged me not to change my mind on a couple things. At the end of it all, I walked away with a big smile on my face. The bridal consultant there had a good eye, and once I tried it on, I loved it! I'm not a big shopper; I like efficiency and straightforward business, and I found both.

• Pros: The styles, the salesperson, the store

Great Experience and Would Pick Winnie Again in a Heartbeat!

by AngelaAQ at Citysearch

We had the best experience here. Amanda was so patient with us. I had trouble figuring out what dresses would look good on me when I first walked into the store but she pulled several beautiful dresses for me to try on and I love the one that was on the mannequins especially. I kind of told her my budget and then she pulled some more dresses for me to try on. She was so professional and the dress I bought was actually right at my budget max so I was very happy about that. The dresses were of a great quality and reasonable than other places I have seen. It was just a fun, stress-free environment and I would recommend this shop to everyone (especially compared to the awful experience I had at Marilynn's Bridal - dooont go there!).

• Pros: Friendly sales person!

An absolute delight!

The service at Winnie Couture is amazing and the dresses are gorgeous!! They're not your average-see-it-everywhere kind of dresses, either. Amanda helped me out and was great! She gave her honest opinion and was able to recommend styles that would work for my figure - I fell in love with the first dress she picked out for me to try (after searching and searching all over Los Angeles) I highly recommend this phenomenal boutique!

• Pros: phenomenal boutique!
• Cons: Place to park

Best people to work with!

I visited Winnie Couture to get my wedding gown 2 months before my wedding. They have a great selection of wedding gowns that you will have at least more than 10 gowns to choose from. If you are unsure about their selection, go to the website first and then make your appointment. Their staff is just simply amazing! They always look for your budget and your desires. I had a great experience and I will recommend this place to anyone. It is very affordable! I bought my wedding gown for approx $2,500 dollars (with tax and everything), It is an amazing dress! Go there first!!!

• Pros: What a wonderful experience!
• Cons: No Parking

The Best Bridal Shop in LA!

by BBxoxo at Citysearch

I had a great experience at Winnie Couture. From the first time I entered the shop until I made a purchase of my gown it was a most pleasurable event. Firstly, the shop is beautiful, neat, clean, organized, relaxed. Everything in the store is brand new, nice and shine! The bridal stylists, are so helpful, knowledgable, and easy to work with. They were all accomodating as far as setting up appointments, looking at and trying on gowns and veils, and taking care with fittings to make sure the dress looked its best. The dress selection is top-notch and you will find gowns that you will not see anywhere else in the city! and they offer customiztion with reasonable price! I can not say enough good things about Winnie Couture and would recommend everyone to buy their wedding gown here.

• Pros: Nice Store, Friendly Staff!
• Cons: Parking - Well, it's Beverly Hills....
