I had such an amazing experience here! The boutique alone is so cute! Each station is themed, I was in the Disney Princess area which was perfect because I am obsessed with all things Disney and also had amazing lighting! They also had a Star Wars section which was crazy because my Fiancé and I LOVE Star Wars! I didnt even know the shop was like this and it made my experience even more amazing! The dresses were so beautiful and had a good range of different styles and most importantly had the dress I had been looking for! Amanda was so amazing and so sweet! She made me feel so special and beautiful and did fun little things that were catered to me! 100000% Recommend going here!

I was pretty nervous going into my appointment not knowing what to expect, but Lorien Bridal Boutique and Amanda made the whole experience so magical and lovely! Amanda is so knowledgeable and was super helpful articulating what I was feeling about each dress I tried on when I couldn’t think of how to describe it. So grateful to her for helping me find the perfect dress! I’ll be having a Disney wedding, and this was an amazing way to kick off the fairy tale. I highly highly recommend Lorien Bridal Boutique for anyone looking for a stress-free, personal, unique, and truly magical dress shopping experience (so everyone).

I had a really great experience here. Amanda was absolutely wonderful. She was respectful of my budget and most of the dresses in her shop were very reasonable. The selection was great, I easily found several dresses I wanted to try. I was the only bride shopping so I had her full attention. After listening to what I liked and didn’t liked about each dress, she pulled the dress I ended up picking. It’s not what I thought I’d get, but it was the most flattering and it will be perfect for my wedding day.

Loved my experience with Amanda! She is so knowledgeable and kind. She stuck with my budget and had so many wonderful options that you won’t feel restricted with dresses.I had visited two bridal shops previously. So Amanda asked what I liked and didn’t based on the dresses I tried on before. She picked a few dresses she thought I’d like and I went through the racks and picked some myself. Once we narrowed it down to my top three, Amanda was so detail oriented and brought out different accessories to pull together the look for each dress.I found the one and am so excited to pick it up in a few months. I’d recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a wonderful dress shopping experience.

I could (and will) go on forever about Amanda, the owner of Lorien Bridal. She exuded positivity and excitement throughout the whole appointment and provided so many accessories for me to try with the GORGEOUS selection of dresses (if you want Maggie Sottero, come HERE!). She made me feel like a queen, and yet the shop is so quirky and cute that I also felt very comfortable and casual during the process. It was the perfect combination. I was still undecided on my dress leaving the appointment, but I turned to my friends and said, This is the first shop where I actually want to spend my money. So I came in for a second appointment a few weeks later by myself, ordered my dream dress, and feel completely at peace that I gave my business to one of the kindest, hard-working people in the industry.

Amanda was AMAZING!!!!!! I tried looking for dresses online (because I dont like trying things on) and hated everything I saw. when I googled bridal shops in my area, I stumbled across Lorien and loved how nerd-friendly, body-friendly, and budget-friendly it was. Even with Covid restrictions, Amanda made the experience feel personal and magical. The second dress I tried on was the one (though I still tried on like 8 or 10 total). I love that all the dresses arent WHITE white, as Im not really a traditional kind of bride. I went from dreading wearing a dress to being ecstatic about it. And I love knowing that I got my dress at a businesswoman-owned shop and not some big snobby corporate-owned warehouse. AMANDA IS MY SAVIOR.

I absolutely loved my experience at Lorien! Amanda was so helpful and made sure the appointment went smoothly. It was nice that my family/friends got to help me pick dresses to try on plus Amanda did a great job of flushing out what I liked and didn’t like so that it was easier to make a decision later on. I recommend Lorien to brides who want a comfortable, intimate dress shopping experience. The store is beautifully decorated and will make everyone in your party feel right at home.

After doing research online, I stumbled about this boutique by chance. The name caught my attention and I booked an appointment. This place is AMAZING! Amanda was so great and wonderful to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and reassured me of things that I had initially been worried about, not to mention she also makes the experience so much fun. If you’re going to have a themed wedding or want the experience of a theme, definitely come here! You will not regret it, I left with my dress ordered as she hit out of the park with what I was looking for. All women from a normal size to a plus size can find something here and trust me, Amanda will make you feel fantastic! I highly highly recommend it here!

I cant say enough wonderful things about Amanda and her salon! My appointment with her was easily one of the most fun, and I found multiple gorgeous, unique gowns all within my budget. Amanda is extremely knowledgeable about the industry, and her cheerfulness immediately put me at ease. The salon is beautifully decorated, and if you appreciate the meaning of the salons name then youre going to adore the interior! I cant recommend Lorien enough - thank you Amanda for such a great appointment!

The best bridal dress shopping experience a girl could ever ask for!!!! Honestly, I was procrastinating a tad when it came to looking for my dress, but upon messaging the shop owner, Amanda, my fears/ procrastination turned into excitement! I checked out a few other places, but saved Lorien for last. First off, they are only accepting one appointment at a time & cleaning after every appt., which is really comforting during these Covid times. And makes the appointment extremely personal! Lorien is a smaller shop with a well curated selection of QUALITY gowns in all different sizes, AND at affordable prices! I am not joking, when my bridesmaids and I saw the detailing on these dresses, we were DEAD! And yes- all different sizes! I didn’t actually have to lose 30 lbs before trying on dresses, because they had my size (+ more), and every dress made me feel magical ❤️ Lastly, the themed rooms? So cute! Don’t hesitate to try on some fun props too (see photos below). Definitely not your typical bridal gown shop, yet still so elegant and whimsical. I am so ecstatic to say I said “yes to the dress”, and promise you will too! “This is the way.”- The Mandalorian

Lorien Bridal is AMAZING! I visited several bridal boutiques in search of the perfect dress, and this was far and away the best experience. The selection of dresses is great, the whimsical themed touches in the store are so much fun, and Amanda is so kind and helpful. I found my perfect dress and Im so excited about it!The store was completely shut down for my appointment, so it was only Amanda, myself, and my guests in the room. Amanda followed all current safety guidelines, and sanitizes between appointments. It could not have been better!

I would give Lorien Bridal Boutique a 10+ star review if I could! I was looking for a specific dress and it just so happened that Lorien came up on the list of boutiques that carried it. Super last minute on a Saturday, I call Amanda and let her know my situation and how I was on crunch time for finding a dress and I had been searching for months.I not only tried on the dress that initially brought me to the shop, I tried on a few more and all of them were beautiful dresses. I ended up going with the dress that I originally wanted and I was absolutely so thrilled that I ended up in Lorien. Such unique dresses, especially after visiting 5 shops and seeing the same style of dress on repeat. I am for sure recommending everyone to go check this shop out! Thank you Amanda! These gold stars are for you!

Best wedding gown shop in LA with the best pricing. Private apts only so you have the entire store to yourself and crew. Amanda is incredibly helpful with a massive range of gowns and accessories and makes it so much fun with the nerdy touch. GO HERE IF YOU NEED A GOWN!

I had such a great time here and would definitely recommend! Amanda made me feel comfortable and excited about my wedding and she had so many creative suggestions. I went from feeling boxed in, like I had to do everything traditionally to really wanting to be myself. Thanks Amanda for being so supportive.

I came across Lorien Bridal on Instagram and am so glad I did! I said yes to the dress yesterday after having visited a couple of other shops in search of a dress for my wedding next year. My experience with Lorien Bridal and Amanda (the stylist and shop owner) was awesome. First and foremost, its great to go into a shop and not feel like just another sale. When searching for the right dress, it helps to have a stylist really interested in getting to know you, your style and comfort needs, and to want to celebrate you. Let me just say, customer service is amazing. Amanda was helpful and fun all the way through. She even gave me, my MoH, and mom a little bubbly to toast after I chose my dress and has a really cute tradition shes passing on to brides. (I wont ruin the surprise). Second, the dress selection was great. I was able to immediately find dresses I liked and wanted to try on. There were also plenty of dresses within my price range. I ended up under budget because Amanda has a great sale going on this month! Lastly, I love the shop décor! Dressing areas are themed after Harry Potter, Disney Princesses, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings - a fandom for every bride!I cannot recommend Lorien Bridal enough. Swing by and check it out if youre a bride in search of a dress! Theres inexpensive parking nearby and restaurants just around the corner, so you can make a day of it!

The experience with Amanda and her store was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend Lorien enough. Not only did I find my dream gown there, I felt pampered, listened to, confident, and supported throughout my appointment. Her selection is so style and size inclusive I never felt pressured or uncomfortable. Love love love Lorien!!

Lorien Bridal Boutique was the very first boutique I visited it is absolutely amazing! It’s a fun, sweet and whimsical environment with some seriously beautiful dresses ❤️ Amanda (the owner) is so sweet, very knowledgeable about all things bridal and dresses. She was so amazing, patient and helpful during my dress try-on process. My group and I had such a fun time, and yes, I said “yes” to the dress!! Thank you Lorien Bridal Boutique for helping me find my dream dress 🥰🥰🥰

Where do I begin? This boutique is absolutely stunning and every nerds dream! Even if you aren’t a big nerd the shop is very intimate and utterly gorgeous. Amanda is absolutely fantastic and attentive to your every need. I had two appointments and even when my family was stressing me out Amanda was there reassuring me and helping me laugh. She just genuinely seems to love helping and her pricing is so affordable and budget friendly.I couldn’t have made it through my appointment if it wasn’t for Amanda! Thank you so much for being you!

Lorien Bridal is such a magical dress shop, and Amanda (the owner) is a gem! Most of my family and bridal party are out-of-state so I wanted to involve them virtually and Amanda was so helpful in accommodating me and my entourage in making it feel like a real in-person bridal dress shopping experience.The experience itself was amazing! Amanda was warm, welcoming, fun, and knowledgeable—not to mention a wiz with those dress clips! I felt comfortable with her instantly. She listened to what I liked, gave me different options to try, and her expertise led me to choose a dress that I would’ve never thought to choose myself and ABSOLUTELY LOVE.Above all, Amanda is so transparent with the dress shopping process and is willing to go above and beyond to help her brides, and answer all of their questions and quell any anxieties. Logistically, the shop is relatively easy to get to AND there’s a parking lot that’s free for the first 90 minutes so no worries there. If you’re looking for both a unique, personal, and pleasant shopping experience, Lorien Bridal is the place to go. Amanda made the entire process so easy and fun, and I’m thrilled to be a Lorien bride!

I cant express how much I loved my experience at Lorien Bridal. Its been a week since my appointment and choosing the dress and Im still riding that high!First, Amanda was flexible with the appointment time and made it work with 24 hours notice. I really appreciated that.Also, I dont feel like a conventional bride, so the shop made me feel so comfortable and it was so fun! I loved all the different themes and props. Its also beautifully decorated.She had lots of styles for me to try on and even found dresses that I didnt think I would like and ended up really liking everything that we pulled!I ended up choosing my dress at Lorien and so Im happy to support a female owned small business right now too.You can tell Amanda loves what she does with all the tiny details that make your experience one to remember. Thank you Amanda!I would highly recommend Lorien Bridal!!!

Found the (Dress) ONE here. After 6 weeks of searching, I knew what I wanted, but hadnt found it in one dress yet. I got a text suggestion from my Moms friend to check out Lorien Bridal Boutique and they were able to take me the next day for an appointment, which was great.

Lorien Bridal Boutique is wonderful! The owner Amanda is an amazing, warm, kind and patient person who made me feel completely comfortable and offered very helpful expert advice without any pressure. It was great to be able to take my time and not feel rushed. Amandas shop is beyond adorable and very clean, she has a great selection of dresses, and the prices are very reasonable.Lorien fills a niche between bridal chain stores and overpriced bridal salons. I thought I knew what I wanted but then ended up buying a unique, gorgeous gown that was not something I expected or would have picked out online. I am VERY happy with the whole experience. If you are looking for a wedding dress and want personalized attention from an expert who is genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about her craft, definitely make an appointment at Lorien - you wont be disappointed!

I don’t have enough good words to say about Amanda and Lorien Bridal!Even from booking my appointment, Amanda was so quick at responding and answered all my questions before I even had to ask. It was my first time trying on wedding dresses and she truly made it the most amazing experience!Amanda listened to all the little things I liked and disliked in the dresses and chose beautiful options for me to try on. There wasn’t a single dress that I didn’t feel gorgeous in!Lorien is definitely not like most major chain bridal stores in all the best ways. They may not have hundreds and hundreds of gowns, but it is a wide selection with tons of variety, I’d be surprised if someone couldn’t find their dream dress here.What’s also amazing is that for your appointment, you have the whole shop to yourself. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to buy at all, but I did say yes to the dress and I can’t wait to go back for my fitting!

This was my first time going to a bridal store and I was really nervous. As soon as I met Amanda, my nerves were calmed and it felt as though I have known her forever. She was so kind and supportive while I was trying on dresses and going back and forth between these two dresses I couldnt decide between. The dresses she holds in her magical cozy store are stunning and I had the best experience ever.She even allowed me to do an emergency appt because my indecisive self changed her mind last minute!I am so beyond grateful to her for being so great on a really important day of my life

I went to this shop, first because of the amazing reviews, and also because my fiancé loves lord of the rings. Also because she stayed open and worked with my schedule! I had already been to three different shops, so I had an idea of what I wanted. My biggest issue with shopping so far was that I wasn’t happy with my body(it’s the Covid-19 lbs) in anything. I told this to Amanda and she knew exactly what I would like and what would flatter me. Before we arrived she had already viewed my venue online, so she also knew what would work with my wedding’s style!First we walked around the shop and she let me pull dresses of her racks. There were so many gorgeous dresses that I had to stop myself at nine! The shop is very Covid safe and we were the only ones in the store. The dressing rooms were clean, large and Amanda was very helpful when I was putting my gowns on. With every dress I tried on she took mental note of what I liked and what my bride tribe liked as well. From there she would give advice on what dresses I didn’t need to try on, or what she wanted me to wear next. Honestly, every single dress I tried on was gorgeous and I would have been happy with any! I ended up finding a dress I absolutely loved. She added to the experience by sprinkling in some exciting things at the very end (that I don’t want to spoil for you!).Now the shop is nerdy themed which I absolutely loved! I chose the Harry Potter room to try dresses on. But there was a Star Wars room, Disney princess room, and more. Each room was stylishly designed and very tasteful! Also, I had my bridesmaid with me who was not big in the nerdy theme, but still thought the shop was adorable. I could go on and on and on about Amanda, but just know she is so sweet, helpful, intuitive and knowledgeable! She really has a passion for bridal gowns and accessories. I am so so thankful for her. She was also patient with me even though I was at the shop for THREE HOURS!If you didn’t want to read all of that here are my pros and cons:Pro:-amazing owner who takes her time with you-gorgeous selection of gowns-comfortable and stylist fitting rooms-dresses for ALL SIZES OF WOMEN-clean! Covid-19 safe.Cons:-nada-zilch-nothing at all

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Amanda was absolutely incredible. This was my very first appointment and I was so nervous. I didn’t know quite what I wanted, and I was convinced nothing would be right for me. Amanda kept it fun, casual, and framed as a learning experience. She was so keen on figuring out what I liked, and asked all the right questions. Her eye is incredible, and was able to take dresses that felt just fine and make them WOW moments with the right accessories. As someone who identifies as a bit of a nerd, the environment of the shop was icing on the cake — the Hobbit score made it all feel cozy and homey, and the nerdy touches kept it all feeling fun. I will add that if you don’t identify as a nerd, you still need to check out Lorien. There is something for everyone, and the dresses don’t feel like cosplay or aggressive nods to fandoms. Everything is so beautiful and feels carefully curated for an expansive but not overwhelming selection. Even though it was my first appointment, I have a feeling I will be back to say yes to the dress. Amanda, you are the best!
