This is THE best place to get your wedding dress. I went to over 10 different bridal shops all over California and found my dress here! The ladies who work here are basically like my extended family at this point - from the moment I stepped foot through the door, I felt like I was treated like family. I was so honored and thankful to have chosen a perfect one of a kind custom dress which was beautifully designed by Crystal Noelle! Getting to know the designer over the course of 2+ years (I was a COVID bride and had to postpone 2020 wedding to 2021) was so special and even when COVID happened, Crystal and the Archive ladies went above and beyond to check in on me and offer help along the way. I HIGHLY recommend Archive Bridal (and Crystal Noelle’s custom designs!!) for your wedding dress destination!!

What was a great initial experience at Archive Bridal was completely spoiled at my final dress fitting. My dress consultant never disclosed their over priced alternations ( also not listed in the contract) I was stunned to find out they wanted to charge me an additional 25% of my dress on alterations. They are not honest or transparent, they over charge on alterations. I luckily found a bridal tailor that is able to squeeze me in for the fraction of what they wanted to charge.I’m now stuck with a uncomfortable dress I can not alter the way they promised it would be done. I would never recommend Archive Bridal and I wish I never bought my dress there.

I strongly advise any bride to add this bridal boutique to their list of shops to try on dresses. I went into Archive Bridal with zero expectations that I’d find “The One”. I had a total of 6 bridal appointments that weekend, and figured I’d be lucky if I even found a dress I liked in the style I wanted. For my bridal appointment at Archive Bridal, I was paired up with Tracy, who is literally the best in this industry. She truly has a gift to know what dresses will look good on you, especially when trying on so many dresses can be overwhelming. Needless to say, I found “The One”, all thanks to Tracy. She knew exactly what style dress I was looking for, and she is an overall fabulous person to work with! I would recommend Archive Bridal to anyone based off the service, the quality of gowns that they have, their excellent selection of gowns, and the overall ambiance of the boutique.

Love Archive and LOVE Tracy! I just bought my dress here a few days ago and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. I saw A LOT of dresses at other stores and Archive has hands down the best collection. Tracy really knows all their dresses. As we walked around the entire store looking at dresses together she was able to tell me what would look best between the options on me and based on what I was looking for without having to try everything on. Really made for a more relaxed and fun experience and skipped the overwhelm of trying on too many things. She has an incredible eye and really gets the style you’re going for. No pressure and just overall super fun experience!Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience finding my wedding gown at Archive Bridal! I had a difficult time putting my vision into words and Tracy did a great job understanding and bringing it to life. The staff were all super kind, welcoming, and excited for me all along the way.

I went in for my first appointment back in July 2017 and the magic of my wedding day started here, at Archive Bridal. Their services are excellent and their staff is even better. I had Tracy and she listened to everything that I wanted, even when my mother and sister were swarming her with their own ideas. I was so happy to listened to my needs because by the end I found a dress that almost had me and my entire family in (happy) tears. The shop is so beautiful and is located in the perfect area (next to a little spa so you better get your nails done after!) And in December 2017 I picked up my dress and had another great experience with them as they added on a beautiful little touch to the bag for my dress adding my future last name. Thank you Archive Bridal because I will recommend you to every bride I meet!

Archive Bridal is beautiful with stunning dresses. The consultants Paulette and Christina were so helpful and accommodating. I had to do a video chat with my mom and sister and they helped me take video with my phone so my family could see and they answered my moms questions. Super sweet and helpful and no pressure! I am very grateful they could help me. Thank you!

Everyone at the bridal boutique is incredibly friendly and helpful. The went to look for a dress with my mom in August 2019. I found a dress in under and hour!! The measurements were so accurate all we had to do was alter the length the rest got like a glove! Unfortunately, due to COVID the wedding was delayed, however, they were wonderful enough to keep my dress a little longer before I picked it up. The day of the wedding the dress was still perfect, I only wish we shortened it a little more since I kept stopping on it tearing the bottom a bit. Afterwards, I found out they clean and preserve dress as well!! This help give me peace of mind that my dress will be handled with care versus some of the nightmare reviews other wedding preservations have in the area. Thank you so much to all the staff and consultants!!

You absolutely have to go to Archive Bridal - seriously! I cannot say enough great things about my experience saying YES to my dream dress here. Tracy is is one in a million, the absolute best. From the moment my party walked into the store she was nothing but kind, encouraging, and totally team bride. Even during Covid, she was able to deliver the fairytale dress shopping experience that my mom has been dreaming about my entire life lol!I told her I wanted jaws to DROP when I walked down the aisle, and boy the dresses she pulled did not disappoint. Every single dress I tried on was stunning and could have been the one. I ended up falling in love with a Badgley Mischka and I cannot wait to go back and try it on in a few months. Biggest thank you to Tracy and the entire Archive Team!

After going to almost every bridal boutique in San Diego, I finally “said yes to the dress” at Archive! I couldn’t have done it without Tracy, who was so patient and supportive throughout the whole process. She helped me at both of my appointments and I honestly could not have found my dress without her. Go to Archive and go see Tracy

Archive bridal is your one stop shop! They have beautiful gowns, an inhouse seamstress, wedding day accessories, and aftercare service to preserve your gown and veil. Plus, they have the friendliest staff that really wants to make sure your gown is perfect for your big day. I found my dress almost a year before my wedding date and on the day of the wedding my dress looked and fit perfectly. Thank you Archive Bridal for all that you did to make me feel beautiful and confident on my big day.

This Bridal store is super cute with reasonable prices. Tracy was my bridal consultant and she was amazing! She figured out exactly what I wanted. I was torn between two dresses and she didnt pressure me to make a choice same day and gave some very helpful tips for deciding between the two. I would highly recommend archive bridal and Tracy!

I still can’t believe that I am now engaged to the person I love since college and I can’t wait to walk down the aisle with the gown I purchased from Archive Bridal. Going in for my appointment, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, but I was overwhelmed with the beautiful gowns that they have. Paulette had been very helpful and made me try gowns that were all beautiful. I just fell in love with a gown and knew that it was the one. I could not thank her enough for making my visit a memorable one.

I was lucky to find my wedding dress here. While it is completely out of the way for me (live in LA) it is worth it! Crystal is so sweet and dedicated to making sure everything is just right. She and my mom spent a ton of time figuring out how to make my bustle perfect given the difficult fabric and asymmetric design. She was happy to think outside the box and try a number of setups. She has really been so wonderful! Every time Im in everyone is so nice too! Archive is a perfect little boutique where you can get the personalized attention you need.

I love Archive Bridal! Seriously if you are looking for the dress of your dreams you should definitely check out their selection! I went everywhere all over San Diego and had no luck and basically felt like I was never going to find the one. I ended up going to archive and fell in love with so many dresses. The girls there are terrific and really help you imagine what you want to look like on your special day! Recommend highly and I hope all you brides check out the best in San Diego!

Loved this place. After more than one disappointing appointments elsewhere the women here were beyond helpful and patient with me. I am a reluctant bride working on a budget and the women of archive bridal made this a bright spot in the whole planning process. I had several fittings, and they took care of everything.

Really wonderful experience at this boutique. My bff is a bride to be and was not having any luck with finding The dress. We came for her appointment and were immediately greeted by the sweetest girl Paulette. She seriously made it so effortless and listened to what my bff wanted and kept her out of dresses that werent right. One of the girls even brought us some bubbly! Definitely will recommend this shop to others!P.S.She said yes to the dress!
