Hollywood Bridal

We did come around 10 months before the wedding to check out rentals and when we arrived, we were told to come back around 6 – 7 months before the wedding. This is because they could not guarantee if the dress would still be available or what condition the dress would be in by the time my wedding came. Makes sense and it’s a rental after all, so you want to make sure it still looks like new by the time you get it!
My girls rented their bridesmaids dresses here and I rented my wedding gown and cake cutting dress. It was an absolute pleasure and they were able to alter our dresses to make sure they fit perfectly on us for the big day. I also had them as my florist, and I could not be happier with how our flowers came out! Great team and service. They do get really busy on some days so just make sure you are a little patient and give them some time to get things sorted out for you.

I rented my bridal party dresses here and was not disappointed. It was hard going to other stores since we were working with different body types and I wanted them to pick a pastel color of their choice. Was happy with the results

Horrible store! They tried to cram my son that is 6 foot 4 into a suit made for a tiny little man. They assured us they could make it fit so we came back in an hour… the suit had not magically gotten bigger as they claimed it would so we decided to go somewhere else They kept the hundred dollars that I had paid for the rental. And didn’t give it back you went after my bank contacted them.

I got my wedding gown and reception dress from Hollywood Bridal! Vy was very accommodating and nice. They have a nice selection of bridesmaid dresses and a handful of wedding gowns. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, you can always go through their catalogs and pick something out. Some dresses have a rent/​buy prices next to them. My husband also got his tux here as well. We picked up our clothes on. Wednesday and we had the option of dropping them off the following Monday. Alterations were free! I have to say that everyone here is very nice… but they are very blunt… Don’t be offended if you hear, «don’t get fat!»
Also, make sure you are taking to someone who is in the store regularly. I came in on a Friday and a lady who I’ve never seen before (or since) tried telling me that they didn’t have a certain dress.
I had talked to Vy the week prior and she said they would have that dress the next week. I talked to someone else and they found the dress for me.
WOULD RECOMMEND! :)

one stop shop for all occasions. The staff is very attentive, informative and will work with you on suggestions/​recommendations.
In addition to suits and formal dresses, they also offer accessories, alteration services, shoes, décor, flowers and rental services. This place gets busy, so save yourself and them some time by coming in with somewhat of an idea of what you’re looking for to speed up your process. It can get to be a tight squeeze in there. There are 2 fitting rooms and a table to seat yourself at. Purchasing items and rental process are extremely easy and the staff is very accommodating and professional.

They were super friendly, and also super fast. I was in and out in about 45 minutes! That included alterations. It’s hard to find an ou dai in my size since I’m on the bigger side, but they had a few that fit me beautifully, and the one in chose was only $ 30 to rent. My friend who is very petite of course had many more options, and was able to find a beautiful ou dai to rent for $ 25. All the staff were super friendly and they finished doing minor alterations on the pants within minutes

If I didn’t have to put a star I wouldn’t. Worst service, very unprofessional with the foul language in front of my baby niece. Hands down a waste of time.

I heard good things about Hollywood Bridal from several of my friends (they used Hollywood Bridal for their wedding flowers and décor). Came here with my then Fiancée to talk with Vy. They have lots of selections with pictures on their catalog — I picked the style of flowers I wanted for my bouquet and centerpieces and made some modification to some of the flowers (i.e. I don’t like lily flower so Vy changed it to something else). I ended up going with Hollywood Bridal because Vy was very nice, she knows what she’s doing and the quote she gave me was very reasonable!
Vy was able to get me all the flowers I wanted in my bouquet and my bridesmaid bouquet (dahlias and garden roses). The church large flowers arrangements was huge and pretty, the centerpieses were lovely and my sweetheart table backdrop was beautiful.
Everyone LOVED the decorations and all the centerpieces. Thank you Vy for making my wedding so beautiful!

Hollywood Bridal was amazing! Vy and the rest of the team did such an amazing job on all of the attire & flowers for my wedding.
After spending several months trying on over 50 dresses at numerous bridal gown stores, I ended up at Hollywood Bridal on a super busy Sunday, and the store was packed. Even though they were all extremely busy, Vy and the rest of the girls were all super nice and went above and beyond to grab me all the bridal dresses and ao daïs I wanted to try on! I ended up really liking one of the dresses I tried on, but it wasn’t perfect. It didn’t have a sweetheart neckline, and there was no way I was going to wear a dress that didn’t have a sweetheart neckline. Even though the store was extremely busy, Vy heard my comment and rushed over and said she can make it a sweetheart for me! She showed me a rough idea of what it would look like and I fell in love! Vy made my dream dress with a few alterations! Both my wedding dress and ao dai were perfect! My dress looked amazing with the sweetheart alterations and I couldn’t have asked for a better dress! And best of all, it was a rental, so it was super adorable! (& best of all, it came with all the little things — veil & petticoat)
I also rented all my bridesmaid dresses here. They didn’t have the dresses I wanted in stock, but Vy was able to order all of them for me! The only downfall is, any dresses larger than a 12 had to be purchased. She sized all the girls and once the dresses came in, she altered all of them to fit the girls perfectly!
All my family members came here to get their suits and ao daïs too, they were all a perfect fit! Picking up and dropping off was extremely easy! I came in a few days prior to the wedding date, and they had everything ready for me to pick up! (Wedding gown, bridal ao dai, bridesmaid dresses, all family suits and ao daïs, all the Vietnamese tea ceremony columns and trays — literally three SUVs full of things!) They helped bring everything into the car quickly and easily!
Now on to flowers… They did all my flowers and they did an amazing job!!! My Vietnamese Tea ceremony was 2 hours away — so they opened up early, so that we could do a 7am pick up of the bouquets and boutonnières! My bouquet was huge & exactly what I envisioned (& super heavy! Lol!) I loooved my bouquet! The flowers for the ceremony and reception were perfect! It was more than what expected. I printed out my vision though Pinterest photos & Vy & her team made it perfect & amazing!
What I really like about Hollywood Bridal is that they’re super accommodating and Vy can speak perfect English! Lol! If you’re Vietnamese, you know exactly what I’m talking about. There are those stores you walk in where they’re super pushy, not helpful, and not accommodating at all. Hollywood Bridal was the total opposite! They did an amazing job and I would recommend them to everyone! They’re amazing & they did an amazing job on all my wedding flowers & attire!

Stop #3 for men’s tux rentals
This shop was the biggest out of the three that I visited and had a lot of dresses on display. The tux rental here ranges from $ 50 to upwards of $ 130 or more depending on the style. They have this catalog where they put the price of the rental next to each picture. Definitely much more expensive than the other 2 locations I looked at but their selection is larger.
I saw some racks where they were selling bridesmaids dresses for about $ 30 – 40 and other racks had dresses for rent for around $ 40 as well. They also had a good selection of bridal dresses but they didn’t have prices on them and I didn’t inquire since we weren’t here for that.
Service wasn’t very attentive. The girl working didn’t even greet us when we walked in… she was also on the phone the whole time we were there. She barely had the time to gesture to the tux catalog book before she went back to talking on the phone.

Worst place to rent a dress. I can’t believe how this place can get 4 stars and over a hundred reviews when the dresses were horribly altered. I was part of a wedding party and the bride has rented our dresses here. We had gone to a fitting about 3 – 4 weeks prior to the wedding and when we got the dress a couple of days prior to the wedding and my dressed was hemmed two inches shorter than I am. I looked like I had a high water dress and not mention the hem was shorter in the front than the back. Luckily I was able to remove hem and with some ironing, it looked like it was never sewn up. Anyhow, the other bridesmaid had issues with their dressed as well. Lastly, they had the worst service. I would recommend any future bride head down to k-​town for rentals. They have a better selection of wedding dresses and they do service you better.

4.5 stars! Got the arch and bridal bouquet from Hollywood Bridal for my wedding on 11-​1-​2015. I LOVED my bouquet and the arch for the ceremony. I opted for an all white bouquet with some green and they did just that. My bouquet was very fresh and it lasted all day long! I asked for 80% white and 20% lavender for the arch, and they did an AMAZING job on selecting and arranging the flowers. I would give the business five stars if the top of the arch wasn’t crooked, which is not shown in this pic; however, I loved it anyways. Also, thanks chi Vi for the free boutonnière for the groom.

What I rented here:
–Vietnamese tea ceremony trays
–Vietnamese silver necklace
–Vietnamese ao dai hat
–4 Groomsmen slim fit suits
–2 Jr groomsmen suits
–Vietnamese Vu Quy sign
–Áo dài rental for my mom
They have EVERYTHING here — lights, draping, flowers, makeup, accessories, belts, sashes, jewelry, ao dai’s, party dresses, the list goes on and on I swear. You can probably plan your entire Vietnamese/​American wedding with this one shop. Obviously it’s not for everyone — they don’t have high end wedding dresses nor high end bridesmaid dresses, but pretty decent ones and very reasonable prices. Helpers here are great, especially Sally. They are not pushy about getting you to book them, and I appreciate that. I wanted to rent bridesmaid dresses here but it didn’t work out for all my bridesmaids bodies — most of the dresses are on the smaller side or not made for big breasted girls. Alterations are included in the rentals. They cut you a better deal as you order more and more, so I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to kill more than two birds with one stone.

I rented all my Ao daïs and groomsmen suites here. They alter everything on the spot which is convenient. Their price are very reasonable which is great because we paid for the entire bridal party’s rentals. I decided to order flowers here too which I was skeptical because they’re not a flower shop… But when I picked up my flowers the day before, I was so surprised! They were full and gorgeous. It did NOT look like I ordered the cheapest flowers for the bridesmaids (which I did). Their service is not great, depending on who you’re dealing with, but I wasn’t expecting any better from a Vietnamese mom & pop shop. Overall my experience was great. I will always come back for Ao Dai rentals. Their selection is amazing and available for bigger girls.

I came in 2 weeks before my wedding looking to rent ao daïs myself (bride), groom, and 3 bridesmaids. There is a pretty good selection offered for the bridesmaids with more contemporary options. For the groom they offered 3 colors (the traditional blue and red) and had the option of a silver ao dai which I had not seen offered at other rental places. There is a huge selection for the bride, also with contemporary options including a lace ao dai that had a train (came in red, white, and pink). I got so many compliments with the pink lace ao dai during the tea ceremony that I wore it again for the reception.
The girls there were really helped me out in narrowing options down because it was almost overwhelming with the big selection they offer. When I came in to pick up the ao daïs, the girls there helped me with a final fitting and even altered the pants for me at the last minute. The place can get busy with multiple bridal parties looking at ao daïs at the same time but the staff there really tried their best to see how they can help each party. It helped me out that the staff was fluent in English because my Vietnamese is not so great.

I had really low expectations but Vi was great! I paid to buy a dress for what I thought would cost me to rent one! I was in and out in an hour for my wedding dress. Can’t beat the prices and her selection was massive. I was specific about what I wanted so it was easy. I’m picking it up next week and super stoked!

Well let’s start with when you have an issue on your appointment day. They say they will call you on the promised date for solution/​options, said promised date goes by and don’t get a call. You have to call and get an «not available, maybe owner will call later» ok so I’ve been told and I’ve been waiting what am I suppose to expect here??? Hello! Whatever, so I go to David’s Bridal. Found a beautiful dress same day. The owner did finally call me back but that’s after I went to David’s Bridal. Thanks for nothing Hollywouldnt.
The staff — the younger shorter girl was nice, a bit clueless but nice. The younger tall girl knew the store/​wedding stuff but was off putting, she seemed a bit high and mighty, wasn’t friendly, through MOST of her assistance. The older lady at the sewing machine definitely had a stick up her you know what. No smile even when you see her staring at you. Just a mad dog face the entire time she was watching you. Did I die? No, but sheesh, not really recommended.
Anyhow, because of the annoyance and lack of proper customer service, we did not rent groomsmen suits from Hollywouldnt. I made the decision that the entire bridal party of groomsmen would go to Hollywood Suits on Beach Blvd to purchase — suit, tie, shirt, socks, belt and alterations for $ 140 but now you have a suit for keeps vs the $ 50 suit that you would return.
The wedding dress inventory is a pretty decent one but most of all of their dresses aren’t true to size of the tag (usually way smaller). Super annoying! Tip to owner: Once you rent out a wedding dress and alter it, let those alterations back out.
I probably wouldn’t have even left this review if it was just the dress issue but it was just a combination of everything noted here that annoyed me about this experience.

All good service coming from here.
When we came in during our initial shopping for suit/​tux rentals they were very helpful and (while maybe a bit blunt) made sure we knew what they could offer and that they would work to match quality and price anywhere. Didn’t end up getting the suits here, but didn’t have a bad experience either.
All the other rentals they helped us out with (ao dai, other stuff for the engagement ceremony) was ready on time, no hassle involved, no cheating us on the quoted prices, everything went smoothly.
Well, except for the fact that I had to switch the size of my áo dài the day I came to pick it up. It wasn’t an issue since they were able to get the right size and steam it within 10 minutes. I just think it’s funny that they initially thought an ao dai up to my knees looked fine and then when I asked for a longer one initially they gave me one that was meant for someone at least half a foot taller than me (are there even Vietnamese people in Westminster over 6’8″ that would fit that?). Again, no big concerns, just a tiny correction.
Wouldn’t come back because I am now married and we don’t need to. But it wasn’t a bad experience at all.

The SHITTIEST service ever… like, ever.
I came in with my sister who is looking to possibly rent her dress. she had never tried on wedding dresses before so when she came in and told them her date, they told her she couldn’t try on more than 2 or 3 because the one she likes wont be available by the time of her wedding. OK, I get that, but maybe she wants to look at different styles? this was a Wednesday and they store was empty!
she went and grabbed ONE dress and tried it on. after we realized that the dress said size 4 but it had been altered to fit a size zero, she took it off and went and look for another one. that is when the shop keeper said to her «Hey! I said you can try on 2!» WHAT? we tried on ONE and it wasn’t even true to size so she didn’t even get it on all the way! wtf?
anyway, while she was trying to get into the second one — marked at a 6 but was clearly smaller — I went to look at bridesmaid dresses for my upcoming wedding as well. I found the dress I was looking for but they told me if any of my bridesmaids were larger than a size 12, I would have to order and purchase it. I looked at the dresses and found a size 16 dress. wtf? the girl said the size 16 was a special order for a bride and they just keep it out with the others.
ok​.so youre telling me someone who had to BUY a dress ordered one and now youre keeping it in with the others that people can try on all day? not cool!
anyway, renting the dress is $ 40 but if I had to buy any they were $ 85 and if they didn’t have enough, I would have to pay $ 70 to rent each extra one under size 12… might as well buy any that are over size 12.
on the way out, my mom saw a rack of clearance ao dai and thought one was pretty. she picked it up to try it on and the shop keeper yelled at her «STOP! you cant just try it on without my measuring you first! if I don’t measure you first, it wont fit!!»
WHAT? IT WILL SHRINK AND NOT FIT ME BECAUSE YOU DIDNT MEASURE ME FIRST???
she measured my mom and said that one would probably fit. my mom went into the fitting room and it was too small. go figure.
anyway, I walked out of there SO pissed off! yes, its cheap but if you are any larger than a size 14, there’s nothing here for you. also, even if the service is quick and good, they workers are so rude! maybe I haven’t been around vietnamese people in such a long time, but when people are shopping for a happy occasion like their wedding, service should be friendly and above and beyond.
I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Worst service that I’ve ever gotten. It’s like I did something to them and they’re trying to get back at me!
I asked to look at wedding dress rentals and since my wedding is more than 6 months away, she told me it’s not recommended because their dress selection may change and my dress might be gone. But if I wanted I can try on 1 – 2. Ok!
LIES!
I picked one in their clearance section (for purchase) and went back to the girl to ask if I could try it on. She said it was fine. The dress was a size 4 and clearly altered so it didn’t fit. I went to grab one from the rental section when a woman comes barging into my dressing room yelling «Stop! Stop! Your wedding is too far away. You can’t try on dresses! And you didn’t make an appointment. You think you can just try on dresses?» I told her the other girl said I can try on a few but she turned her back and left.
Then my mom noticed some ao dai for sale on the way out and asked to try it on (a fiasco in itself). I went to the back dressing room to find my mom wrapping a curtain around herself and trying to put on the ao dai bc the lady needed the dressing room space. Could the lady not wait or vocalize for my mom to wait? There were men in the store walking around! I was livid.
Tux rentals I saw were $ 35 – 150. Bridesmaid dress rentals $ 35+. Wedding gown rentals $ 250 – 300. They have tea ceremony things for sale/​rent too. It’s located in the corner of the plaza.
You were warned Unilocalers!
