Dare and Dazzle

"My daughter is getting married in August 2024 and we choose this shop for her bridal gown. The customer service from her personal assistant Suzanne, was top notch, incredibly thoughtful and professional. We went twice and tried on many dresses, my mom even found her dress! So many gorgeous gowns and styles to choose from. We absolutely had a great time with this experience!"

"Truly an amazing bridal salon! Hien and Trinh are both so incredibly kind and helpful. I had the best time ever trying on dresses with them! BEST part is that all of the dresses I tried could be custom made to my measurements. They all had the perfect built in bra situations and for a plus size bride like me, I was thrilled with the options! Thank you for such an amazing experience, Dare & Dazzle!"

"Hien was absolutely amazing! She was super patient when I was being indecisive about what dress I wanted to go with and gave great tips as to what would look good with my body shape. I went back twice on separate occasions after jumping back and forth between the dress I wanted, and I was glad to say that she had a wide variety of dress sizes to fit all body types. I would highly recommend her for anyone that is looking for a dress to rent (and buy) and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!"

"I absolutely love this place. Hein, the owner, is so kind and supportive. I went to try on plus-size dresses during the off season and with a shorter time window than most brides. I still had a large selection to choose from and she put a lot of care and consideration into my appointment. In total, I went there two times to try dresses on before finding my perfect fit - off the rack! In total I think I tried on about 7 dresses in my bridal size 20 (16-18 regular). The third time I visited was to pick up my dress for the big day as well as a veil, and did one final look with the dress on in the store to ensure everything looked good and fit well before my big day. Here is why you should go here for your wedding: 1. Very communicative staff. Any question, comment, concern was answered promptly and thoroughly. 2. Local business that carry cute, affordable, and size-inclusive dresses! 3. Sustainable business practices good for both budget-friendly brides and eco-conscious ones. 4. The set up of the fitting area. Hein will help you into your dress on the podium in the dressing area, and there are thick blackout curtains that surround the dressing area. It is not a separate room, meaning once you’re laced into your dress, you just pull back the curtain! This means you can continue the conversation with the loved ones you brought with you to your appointment, and it’s not as lonely getting into your dress and walking to the viewing area. 5. Along the above lines, since they carry a variety of sizes, each dress you try on is completely zipped/laced/on your body to give you a much better idea of what the finished product looks like. This helped me feel confident in the dress I was choosing as the back was laced up instead of left open like in other bridal shops where you have to try on dresses that aren’t quite large enough. 6. Customization! As I tried on a beautiful corset-back sleeveless dress, Hein showed me the options I had if I wanted to accessorize and personalize the dress (which I ended up choosing!) She sewed in small snap closures where I could easily put on or take off the decorative sleeves of my wedding gown for ultimate customization ❤️ All in all, I would rate this higher if I could go above five stars. My experience with the fashion industry is tumultuous at best as a plus size bride. Hein at Dare & Dazzle made me feel welcome and loved, and most importantly like I belonged and deserved a beautiful gown that fit well and made me feel good about myself. I couldn’t recommend this store enough."

"So amazing. Hien helped me find the perfect dress and made me feel so comfortable. She was very attentive and had a lot of good advice. This was the first and last shop I went to for my dress and I couldn’t be happier with what I got. The shop is so cute and has great lighting and stages to take pictures and get a feel for your dress. I can’t say enough, I loved everything about it and the ladies I brought with me loved it too. Love that there’s rental and buy options (I ended up buying mine) and very affordable compared to the dresses I was looking at online. As someone considered plus size I was nervous even going into any shop to try dresses but my mom convinced me and I am so happy she did!"
