I had such a lovely experience. Irina made the experience enjoyable. She's a very knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and sociable woman. I am impressed, to say the least. And I cannot wait to wear my dress for the wedding!!! This place made my “fairytale” dreams come true! I recommend this place for people who want to buy wedding dresses!
Sincerely,

Choosing your wedding gown is such a monumental time in your life. From the minute you walk into a bridal shop, to browsing all the gowns, and eventually finding "The One." There's so much pressure! Every woman knows what I'm talking about. We've seen enough romantic comedies and reality shows to know, there's that wedding gown "magic" you should feel. That's the only way I can describe my experience with Helen Miller Bridal.
I started my wedding gown search almost 8 months before my wedding. Along with my mother and matron of honor, I planned to visit three different Bridal shops based on reviews (like this one) that I read on Yelp! I thought Helen Miller would be higher on my price range than I wanted and most likely not the place I would go with. However, the beautiful shop always intrigued me when I would walk by and I still made an appointment.
At the time Irina was there and I told her that I had no idea what style of dress I was looking for but I knew that I did NOT want a mermaid dress. She pulled a few dresses for me to try on and was very thoughtful about staying within my desired budget. At first, nothing really fit how I was hoping and it felt like this wasn't going to be the place I would find my dress. Then she looked me up and down and said, "i have one dress I want you to try on, ok?" I was reluctant when I saw it but obliged and tried it on. It fit my body, like a GLOVE, and the instant the curtain was pulled back, both my mother and matron of honor gasped. We knew it. We had found, "The One!" And guess what? It was a MERMAID gown. Ha! So much for thinking, I knew what would look best on me!
Throughout the following 8 months, I came in for two fittings and also brought my 7-year-old soon-to-be stepdaughter with me. Helen mentioned to me that she would be willing to make a custom flower girl dress for her and incorporate the same lace from my dress into hers! AMAZING! To say I was so impressed with my experience with Helen Miller, herself, is an understatement. She is always so lovely and gives the BEST advice (as evidence to her designs). I feel so honored and lucky to have worn one of her beautiful dresses on the most amazing day of my life. I have never felt more beautiful then in that dress. I loved everything about Helen Miller Bridal, that I also found my earrings and garter belt there as well! Who doesn't love one-stop shopping?
Hands down, I recommend this bridal shop over any other shop around! You get such a personal experience here and when do you ever get to work and meet the actual designer?? All the other bridal shops in SF feel very commercial and less personal. Run, don't walk here if you are looking for the dress of your dreams. You will be so happy you did :).

Highly recommend! I love everything about that place! Absolutely great service and the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen!
The owners Irina and Elena my good fairies who fulfilled my dream wedding.
Recently I took my friend there and she also bought a dress right away! It was not easy to chose because it’s soooo many amazing options!

This boutique is different. All the dresses are so unique. I was looking for a bigger dress, a real princess type, but I didn't want to spend a fortune on it. Helen Miller is the place! Everyone here was so sweet and helpful, and on my first appointment I found the perfect dress. It was customized in a very timely manner (in only two months!), they listened to all my requests and made very helpful suggestions. The designer herself, whom I had the pleasure of meeting during one of my visits, is extremely kind, caring, and down to earth. The ladies helped me find my perfect veil and earrings, too. On top of it all, they ordered me a big tiara all the way from Moscow. I was treated like a princess and looked like one in my finished dress, and I couldn't be happier!

I flew 3,000 miles from New York to find my perfect dress! Helen Miller, thank you so so much for all your help and care!
I had an amazing time during my visit this September! Everyone was extremely welcoming and the salon was beautiful. My guest and I arrived about 25 minutes early, knowing that we would probably have to wait up until our actual appointment time, but we were thrilled when we were actually taken back to our room 20 minutes early!
Helen herself was my consultant for the day, and I could not have asked for a better treat. She found amazing dresses that were well within my price range and really considered a style and fit that would work well with my vision and with my fair complexion. I felt amazing in the dresses, and Helen was eager to help me find the perfect dress and accessories for my vintage boho wedding vision. I will definitely be coming back for a follow up and fitting. The experience was even better than I had expected!!
