What Brides Are Saying

"My experience at The White Flower was nothing short of magical… I felt like a princess, and I'm sure everyone else who books an appointment at The White Flower will also feel the same! Go to The White Flower and find the dress of your dreams :)"

Ashley R.

"I cannot express how happy I am and how lucky I feel to have gone to The White Flower... I would recommend that anyone shopping for a wedding dress stop by The White Flower, it is so worth it... I am so excited to go through this whole process with my dress because I know I am in good hands at The White Flower!"

Valda H.

"The experience was the best I had in comparison with other dress shops in San Diego. Not only did I find the perfect dress, but I felt so relaxed, listened to (I.e. she didn't try to put me in a dress style I didn't like or outside my budget), and celebrated! The reveal to your guests is AMAZING!"

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have more questions or would like to chat, feel free to give us a call at 619-501-1700.

What is the price range of your wedding dresses?

Most of our made-to-order wedding dresses range from $2,800 to $7,000. Our off-the-rack sample wedding dresses range from about $1,700 to $3,500 and are usually a street size 6/8, with a small selection of street size 18 dresses.

Do I need an appointment? 

Yes. We are by appointment only so that we can give each bride a wonderful and focused experience. Nothing to worry about though, our online booking system makes it easy!

Is there a fee for the appointment?

Yes, standard bridal styling appointments are $30, premium appointments are $150, and VIP appointments are $500. The appointment fees are non-refundable if you cancel your appointment, for any reason, within 48 hours of the schedule appointment time.

$30 of your appointment fee may be applied as a credit toward a same-day dress purchase. If you're visiting for a 2nd or 3rd time, please note that previously paid appointment fees will not be applied as credits toward your dress purchase. Only the fee paid for the final appointment may be applied if you purchase the same day as the appointment.

How many people can I bring to my appointment?

Our standard bridal appointments can accommodate up to 4 guests per bride, and our premium appointments can host up to 5 guests. To bring up to 6 guests, brides may select our VIP appointment.

We kindly advise that you do not bring children to your appointment unless they will be well-supervised by another adult.

How long does an appointment last?

Standard and premium bridal styling appointments last up to 90 minutes. VIP appointments are up to 2 hours. This provides plenty of time to try on a dozen beautiful dresses, say yes to your dress, and celebrate with confetti and photos in front of our beautiful flower wall.

Can I cancel my appointment?

You can - please note if you cancel within 48 hours of the appointment, your $30 standard appointment fee, $150 premium appointment fee, or $500 VIP appointment fee will not be refunded, regardless of the reason for cancellation. "No shows" or parties more than 20 minutes late (who will be considered a “no show”) will not receive a refund for the fee.

Are alterations included in the price of my dress?

As is industry standard, alterations are not included in the price of our wedding dresses. Each bride requires a unique set of alterations for her gown and the costs vary depending on the amount of work needed to perfectly tailor the gown to her frame. Our standard alterations are usually between $1,400 to $2,000.

Do you have "in-house" alterations?

Yes! You don't have to go anywhere else. We have an incredible team of seamstresses who have experience with minor to extensive wedding dress alterations. We work hand-in-hand with them to create a seamless experience from start to finish. We also offer steaming services to ensure your dress looks picture perfect on the wedding day! Please budget $1,400 to $2,000 for wedding dress alterations.

Can I bring food and drink?

For all appointment types we provide still, sparkling, and flavored water options for our guests. Premium appointments include premium refreshments, and VIP appointments include an array of snacks and premium refreshments. If you’d like to bring other beverages or foods, you may, though we ask that you not bring dark colored drinks or messy foods that could stain our dresses.

How far in advance should I order my dress?

To provide enough time for your gown to arrive from the designer and have it altered, we recommend purchasing your dress at least 8 months before the wedding. Rush options are available for many wedding dresses, but they come with a fee. If your wedding is less than 8 months away, give us a call and we can discuss alternative options such as rush pricing and timelines for made-to-order dresses, as well as off-the-rack sample dresses.

What is "Bridal Size"?

In the bridal world, we order dresses based on our designers' size charts. Wedding dresses tend to run smaller than street size clothing. For example, a bridal size 10 is roughly equivalent to a street size 6/8 and a bridal size 20 is about a street size 16/18.  

What sizes are your off the rack sample dresses?

The majority of our off the rack sample dresses (our discounted sample section) are a bridal size 10, which is a street size 6-8. These gowns can be altered to fit brides who are a size 4 and sometimes a size 10. Our made to order gowns work differently such that they are ordered brand new based on the bride’s size (we can accommodate street sizes 00-18 for our made to order gowns).

Where should I park?

There is metered parking in front of the store on Hawthorn Street.

Do you sell bridesmaid dresses?

While we do not sell bridesmaid dresses, but we do sell little white dresses for bridal occasions.
