I’d like to share my recent experience at Misora – which far exceeded my expectations. I am a picky errr discerning bride. I’ve been engaged for 6 weeks and in that time have visited 5 bridal shops and tried on nearly 40 dresses. I made an appointment at Misora because 1- they got good reviews 2- they happened to be open on Sunday afternoons (a whole lot of shops aren’t, which is no bueno when the bride works Mon-Fri, 8 to 5) and 3- they carried designers that I was curious about that I hadn’t seen at other shops – namely Essence of Australia. I went with my sister and she and I were both impressed from the minute we walked into the salon. It has a very chic boutique feel, and while it is small, they pack a LOT of dresses in there – and I was very impressed with the value! I was greeted promptly by Rio who turned out to be my stylist for the day (hooray!). I filled out a brief questionnaire that explained what I was looking for in a dress. Then Rio showed me how the designers were organized, briefly pointing out ones that sounded like what I was interested in and that would fit my budget. Then she handed me colored clips to put on the hangers of my top 5 dresses. This was the first time I’d seen this kind of system and it worked really well –- I could browse freely and the stylist can easily pick up the ones I like and bring them to the dressing room without confusing them with other clients’ picks since they use different colored clips. Once I’d picked out a few, we got started in the dressing room, which was spacious enough to have it’s own couch in the private room. Rio helped me in and out of every dress the way a pro should – opening up the gown properly, and even catching me the one time I nearly toppled over trying to get into a ball gown! She clipped things in all the right places so I could get a solid idea of fit. When I felt like the strapless dress left me too exposed, she creatively draped an extra yard of tulle into ethereal cap sleeves. When it was time to take a photo, she popped out of the room like a ninja so my sister could get a shot without anyone in the background. She pulled in other dresses after my feedback from the first few so that we got increasingly closer to my vision. She was also extremely knowledgeable about fabric and structure of the dresses, explaining the type of materials I was drawn to – apparently something called “horse hair” which I mistakenly thought was organza! On top of all this, she was extremely easy to chat with, made me feel comfortable, and asked (very politely) about my fiancé, our wedding plans, and about our future marriage. This was so far above and beyond anything I experienced at other shops. I truly felt connected to her by the end of the appointment. While I have not yet purchased my gown, I might be back, and I can highly recommend Misora without any reservations.

Poor service, I wasnt impressed at all. The lady who greeted us was apparently the manager, she handed me 5 clips and told me to place them on the dresses Id like to try on. She didnt give any info of how dresses were sorted or even attempt to provide recommendations. She also failed to explain to me that you only get to try on 5 dresses. I have never stepped foot in a bridal boutique before, so I had assumed that Id try on the first 5 clipped and then have the opportunity to look again if neither of those worked. That is not how it works, you only get 5, after that youd have to set another appointment. It makes sense, but it would have been nice to have a heads up so I could have made better use of time/choices, because I didnt even look on the other side of the room to see all my options. After trying on the dresses, I asked if I could look around for a few more minutes -just to see if any dresses caught my interest that I could look at online. I was the last appointment and because I had picked my dresses to try on so quickly, there was plenty of time still left before closing. Well after 2 minutes of looking the manager approached us and basically kicked us out by asking us to come back again for another appointment as she walked us towards the door. It was the way she did it that seemed condescending. I also didnt understand her rush, no one else was in the boutique and it was just my mom and I calmly looking. On another note, my appointment was scheduled with Rio, but my consultant ended up being Karen. She was polite, but very quiet. I was expecting more direction and recommendations. However, I did like that she wasnt completely hovering over us pressuring a sale. I wanted more guidance in the service. Wont be going back again, they didnt seem sincere or professional.

I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing experience I had. After going to 6 different bridal shops and getting pressured into probably the most important dress of my life I was so happy I found Misora. Karen was amazing. She was not only sweet, patient and nice she also listened to all of my requests. We had picked out 3 dresses and I could of sworn I was going to go with the one I picked but Karen asked me to consider one that she thought would of fallen into all of the things I wanted. She blew my expectations out of the water. She never once pressured me into purchasing the dress, never made it seem like she was trying to make a sale, she was awesome! Thank you Thank you!! Misora also offers a free make-up session for any dress that you purchase. I havent used mine yet so I cant comment but to even have that as a perk is great for brides saving money on their wedding day. Unfortunately, my wedding is a destination wedding otherwise I would totally jump on that offer. I also had the opportunity to meet with Jennie when I picked up my dress and just as amazing as Karen was she was also a sweetheart. Amazing girls!! If I could re-do my wedding dress shopping experience I would definitely just have made my one stop to Misora! Thank you ladies!

Jeannie is extremely knowledgeable, patience, and professional. She replies to emails/phone calls promptly. She is personal and reasonable with her pricing. I had email her inquiring about a dress and she reply back with in the same day with a few other options that were within my budget. Jeannie calmness and kindness helped me lot while I was going back and forth between 2 dresses. When my lace jacket arrived it was a size too big and Jeannie offered to contact the vendor and have it exchange. Unfortunately, the vendor didnt have any size left. Jennie suggested I go to her tailor to take a look at the jacket, but I declined. Shes also a great make up artist as well. I received so many compliments on how I looked and felt so comfortable, natural and beautiful.

An absolutely incredible experience at Misora Bridal Boutique! From their selection of dresses and designers, team of bridal consultants and customer service, this is THE place to go when searching for your dream dress. Karen really listened to what I was looking for during my consultation and was incredibly helpful and attentive to me in finding my perfect dress. Every visit I have been warmly welcomed and felt like these ladies arent just bridal consultants, but great friends who truly care. I also highly recommend their seamstress, "Its Sew Hoang!" who comes to the boutique on Sunday for in house alterations or works from her home. Her prices are very reasonable and she does high quality work.
