  BB Bridal is your one stop shop!

  Soni won’t disappoint you. She is an expert and professional seamstress that takes pride in her work. I got loads of compliments on my dress and I felt so beautiful in it. Soni knows what will look good on you and she is right!

  Soni is the best!

  After many shops, I didn't think I could ever find the right one. Soni was recommended by a neighbor and after seeing reviews I knew if anyone could do it it was her! She listened to what I wanted but also provided her own expertise to help me find the perfect dress. She ended up being able to order a custom gown that had exactly what I wanted. I didn't even know what I wanted without her help! She was very accommodating, communicative, kind, and professional; she gave me the most beautiful dress I could ever have imagined. Thank you, Soni!

  Soni is the best! I would recommend her to anyone!

  What I love about Soni is how fast she responds. I initially called her and left a voicemail. She called me back as soon as she can. Afterwards, we communicated a lot through text--again, immediate response. She works really fast as well. I was actually a customer of another store that went bankrupt and I didn't have my dress still (3 months before my wedding). Soni helped me by getting my dress from Casablanca asap and she made sure all the alterations are perfect. She was very quick with the alteration. Soni made me feel calm and made me know that everything will be okay because she got my back (everything was definitely okay!).
  
  Soni has an eye for this business. She can tell whether the dress suits you or not and she will give suggestions as she sees it. She is exactly who I needed because I don't know what looks good on me or not. She is there for the brides throughout the entire time. She will check up on you after you pick up your dress and make sure you are good to go! She is the rock :)
  
  Also, a note for the LGBT community, you will feel safe with Soni :) Like I said, she is the best!

  Soni is just amazing. I had been dress shopping in multiple states and just couldn't settle for sure on a dress, although I found one I liked a lot. I came to Soni, and she immediately could see what alterations needed to be made to the dress I liked to make it fit me perfectly. Several months after ordering the dress, I asked for the dress 6+ months ahead of schedule; and Soni didn't hesitate before saying she could do it. The dress was perfect - fit like a glove, and I was getting compliments all night! The look on my husband's face when he saw me in the dress - I will never forget it. And all thanks to Soni!
  
  In most bridal shops, an attendant helps the bride pick a dress, then 6 months later the bride comes back for a dress fitting and only then she meets the seamstress who is at that point limited in what can be done to fix the dress. With Soni, she is the one person who helps you both pick the dress and make adjustments! She can customize the dress to great lengths, even combining the top of one dress with the bottom of the other. She will be frank with you about what is possible and realistic, which is what every bride needs! She will stop at nothing to get you looking perfect and will see you through every step of the process! And all this at very reasonable prices! I firmly believe every bride should go to Soni; I can't even imagine the impersonal service going to another bridal shop after working with Soni!! Make the best decision in your wedding planning and go see Soni!!

  Soni is the ultimate dress whisperer. She's a typical proud Korean auntie - direct and honest with no verbal filter and a little unpolished, yet she means the absolute best and will give you 110% of her undivided attention. Go prepared with an open mind, and let her work her magic on you!
  
  She owns a cramped little dress shop in a strip mall of unlikely places, packed to the brim with dress samples. It's best to do some preliminary research and have a general idea of your ideal dress, as she will let you know straight-up whether she has something in store that's suitable to your taste. She also won't bring out more than 3 dresses in the 1-hour time slot, so best to use her time wisely. 1) DO your research: Try on dresses prior to your visit so that you know what kind of dresses you love/hate; take pictures, use Pinterest, etc. Be able to clarify the image you want in your venue. 2) KNOW your budget: She has an eye for things, and will try and suggest relevant purchases if it seems to fit your overall image. If you have a hard budget, make sure you stick to your guns because her suggestions are hard to turn down! 3) KNOW yourself: Soni has professional training in dress alterations so she has a discerning eye for selecting dresses that flatter the body according to your body type. So be realistic and know your body (ie. height, body figure and shape), and overall image you want to project.
  
  For me, she nailed my dress on the first try when I first spoke to her on the phone, and with her suggested customizations, I had a dress that made me look and feel amazing right out of the box. You won't regret going with Soni to find your dress!

  Soni at BB Bridal was fantastic. She helped me identify the exact dress shape that fit my body perfectly. I wasn't a bride to walk into the shop with the exact idea of what I wanted, I had very little idea of what I wanted, just that I wanted to look amazing. The second dress she put me in was the one I purchased. I went to 4 other shops after I visited Soni and came back and purchased that dress. She was so detailed with the measurements the dress needed no alterations once it arrived. I am so grateful that she knew what looked good on my body. I felt amazing on my wedding day and the dress fit like it was made just for me.

  I first started my dress hunt at the larger bridal gown stores (David's Bridal and Bay area bridal) before going here. My friend actually recommended Soni, the owner. She's been selling wedding dresses for 20+ years. It's a small store filled with dresses, but don't be deceived. I showed Soni pictures of the other dresses I tried on. And based on my what I tried on, she could tell what I was looking for. And she picked the best dress based on my body shape. Soni can be blunt and bossy, but in a funny & nice way lol, and I liked that. She'll tell you what looks good on your body. Literally the 2nd dress she picked for me was the one I bought. I LOVED my dress and so did my husband. =) Soni really knows her stuff!

  Before finding BB Bridal, I was left frustrated after going to other stores. Soni listened to what I wanted, looked at my body pulled a dress. It looked so beautiful! She had a lot of great advice for me and was very helpful with putting together the rest of my look that fit my personality and keeping comfort in mind too.
  
  Also, I had a lot of trouble finding bridesmaids dresses. I searched many stores and all over online for 3 months and was not able to find it. During a visit to BB Bridal, I told Soni about this and in less than 5 minutes she was able to find and pull out a picture of the dress that I had been searching for and helped me order them. I would have saved a lot of time and stress if I had just gone to her first.

  Soni, the owner of BB Bridal, is absolutely amazing!
  
  After having seen my sister's wedding dress selection process, I knew where I didn't want to go when it was my turn. I went to 2 other wedding dress boutiques before I found BB Bridal.
  
  When I made my appointment to meet Soni, she asked me to bring pictures of what I already tried on so we could save some in the process, which was essential since I had a shorter engagement period than most brides. As soon as I walked in, she was warm and straight-forward. She asked me quality questions to get to know my style, she listened and she is thoughtful. And the first dress she asked me to try on is "the dress!" But just in case, we tried on a few more dresses only to come back to the first dress. I ordered it on the spot, along with the veil and sash.
  
  She even helped my then-fiance make the outfit custom for me! They worked together, bouncing ideas back and forth over a couple weeks, on customizing the sash we added and designing the jewelry I wore with the dress. The whole outfit was beyond my dreams.
  
  Thank you, Soni! We will definitely keep in touch!

  Soni is AWESOME!! She knew exactly how to make my wedding dress look amazing and make me the star attraction at my wedding!!
  I happened upon her shop purely by chance, but I will never forget the exceptional experience of working with her. Her expertise in fitting and sizing really impressed me. At first I was not comfortable with wearing a strapless bridal dress since it would be extremely embarrassing if my wedding dress slipped down on the most important day of my life. But she guaranteed it wouldn't happen and my dress turned out to be a perfect fit!! I really appreciate her service and friendliness. Her easy-going personality brought us closer and we became good friends!!
  She also did a great job on my husband's tuxedo!! My husband was very pleased with her professionalism in picking out a nice tuxedo for him. We definitely recommend BB Bridal to our friends and families since Soni is an expert. She worked very hard on every detail of our formal wear to ensure that both the dress and tuxedo were exactly what we wanted for the most important day of our lives!!

  I started looking for a wedding dress last fall for my July wedding and I did come across a dress at a shop in SF that I liked but I really didn't like the shop. I didn't like the environment or the sales person so I kept looking. I was still thinking about that Casablanca dress and my mom was coming up and staying in San Jose for a weekend so I looked online and found BB Bridal in San Jose online as a Casablanca authorized retailer. I called and Soni told me she did have the dress (but in another color) so I made an appointment to go in with my mom.
  
  I tried the dress on at Soni's shop and I still wasn't quite sure about it. She asked me what I was hesitant about and I explained that I wasn't sold on the neckline and wished it was a lace up back instead of a zipper. She smiled and said that those were very easy to fix! I had no idea that the dress could be special ordered with the neckline I wanted and a lace up back. She sketched what the dress would look like when finished and while it was hard to envision the finished product, I went ahead and ordered it.
  
  Fast forward 4-6 months and my custom dress arrived and was everything I had hoped it would be! I was so worried because I was not one of those brides who got butterflies and heard bells when I found "the one" so I didn't know how I'd feel when my dress came but I really did love it. The more times I tried it on, the more and more I loved it!
  
  Soni did all the alterations and made sure I was happy with everything. I had to have my aunt pick up the dress and Soni made the arrangements with my aunt and called me afterwards to let me know that it was picked up. She followed up again a few days later to see how I was doing too. She was so sweet and is so invested in her clients.
  
  Her store is not very big but she seems to really know what she is doing and her customer service is excellent. My only gripe was that her shop was so far away (from the city)! In the end, it was totally worth all those drives down for fittings. Soni really came through for me.

  I went to Soni after trying on gowns at 3 different places. She is a Casablanca vendor and according to my wedding book Casablanca has the best quality for its price. Plus I love lacy dresses, which Casablanca specializes in. I only tried on 2 dresses with Sunny. She was instantly able to find what type of dress will look great with my body type based on the description of what I want. The Casablanca dresses I tried on were great quality and cheaper than other dresses I tried on with the same quality. I took pictures and decided to go with one of the dress in her shop after 24 hours of pondering. The dress came in weeks later and I tried it, on it look even more beautiful than I remember. Because I am big chested and have wide shoulders, we were not able to zip it up after the waist. Soni asked I could lose weight. I worked out 2 hours a day and ate healthy and lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I asked Sunny If I can come in for my final fitting 2 weeks before the wedding because I wanted to lose more weight. She was accommodating and was ok with it. I picked up my dress 3 days before the wedding and it looked beautiful. I received many compliments from guest regarding the quality and fit of my dress.

Because I am big chested and have wide shoulders, we were not able to zip it up after the waist. Soni asked I could lose weight. I worked out 2 hours a day and ate healthy and lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I asked Sunny If I can come in for my final fitting 2 weeks before the wedding because I wanted to lose more weight. She was accommodating and was ok with it. I picked up my dress 3 days before the wedding and it looked beautiful. I received many compliments from guest regarding the quality and fit of my dress.
