My experience with Down the Aisle was perfect! Sharon was so attentive and did a great job finding the dress I envisioned for the wedding at my first appointment. They have so many dresses to choose from in every style you could imagine. The price was fair for the gorgeous dress I ordered and she helped with strap suggestions and added detail. The bridesmaids dresses were perfect and the girls at the shop did a great job at finding the perfect style and color for our wedding. Sharon helped my find the perfect veil to go with my dress and my personality, simple and elegant. She also helped find the shoes I wanted. At the last minute we had to order a flower girl dress and the girls at the shop were so helpful and easy to work with when getting a dress so last minute. Everything came in on time and worked out perfect. I would absolutely recommend this shop to any bride looking for their dress and accessories and dresses for the bridal party. The overall experience was great.

I purchased my wedding gown from Down the Aisle. They were the first place I went and they set the bar high. They were very professional and had a diverse selection. I checked out a few other places for good measure, but realized my dress was at Down the Aisle. I was happy to return there as the ladies were great to work with.

I was recently referred to Down the Aisle by a friend and was pleasantly surprised to see such a beautiful wedding shop. The decor was so elegant and the dresses so amazing, I thought for sure I would not be able to afford a gown here. Andrea assisted me and assurred me that the prices were/are very reasonable. I didnt know what I was looking for exactly but Andrea has so much knowledge and quickly had some dresses picked out for me to try on. She knew what would look good on me for my shape (plus size) and made me feel so comfortable. I truly felt like a beautiful bride to be and found the "perfect" gown. I couldnt have asked for anything more. I was able to get my shoes and accessories there as well and all within my budget. I love one stop shopping! Andrea is professional, respectful, and courteous and goes out of her way for her customers. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know for their wedding attire needs. Thank you for everything Andrea! You have made this experience such a happy one for me and I am truly grateful.

I can't say enough good things about Down the Aisle. They were the first place I went to try on wedding dresses....and after about 3- I found it! At first I was a bit hesitant because all I saw were white, strapless gowns...and that was NOT what I wanted. But Andrea is so great at what she does! She knows her stuff and knew which dresses could come in different shades, with optional straps, etc. When you go into a bridal shop...talk to the people! Don't just judge what you see on the rack! I ended up with exactly what I wanted...and my dress looks very different from what I originally tried on from the rack! The girls even opened the shop early for my fitting since I had an appointment with my seamstress that day! They even have Spanx there! One stop shopping!

Andrea and Sharon are the most accommodating people to work with. They treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire process of planning my daughter's wedding. They went above and beyond to solve any problem that cropped up. Their selection is the best on the Central Coast!

Down the Aisle is the quaintest boutique Bridal Dress shop I have ever seen. They have a huge selection of dresses to choose from and they have the best customer service around. When you walk into the shop you know this is no ordinary bridal dress store. It is like a fairytale. The owner Sharon will provide you with a personal assistant throughout the shopping experience to help you try on any dress you wish and help really narrow down the selection to help you find the perfect dress that will make you look your best with whatever size figure you have. They are simply amazing! I have had many girlfriends who have had the same experience and I will glady bring any of my newly engaged girlfriends to Down the Aisle so they can have a wonderful dress shopping experience.
Thank you Down the Aisle!

Sharon was patient, kind and courteous. She relaxed a very reluctant bride and found me the perfect wedding dress. She worked with our budget and willingly shared her wealth of knowledge. I was truly dreading finding a dress, but Sharon made it a very positive experience.

I went to Down The Aisle because everyone I knew recommended them & now I know why! Andrea was wonderful and very helpful! They have a wide selection of dresses all very affordable. When I went in, she said all the dresses were under $2,000. Not sure if that is still accurate, but you won't be disappointed! Loved them & would recommend them to anyone!

Andrea and Sharon gave impeccable service to us. They were very professional, welcoming and thorough. We got our flower girl dress, hair accessory, and suit attire for the groom and ring bearer from Down the Aisle. They were personable, passionate and efficient in every way. They returned calls and emails very quickly and made us feel so special and important. The quality of their merchandise is top notch. Thank you ladies for all you did for us!

There were so many beautiful dresses that I had a hard time picking, but I found the PERFECT dress, and I have had many people say it is one of the prettiest that they have ever seen. My bridesmaids absolutely loved their dresses, which also received many compliments. And, the prices were surprisingly low. These dresses looked like ones I had seen for thousands at other stores. The service was amazing. When I wanted a certain pair of earrings, but they had already sold, Andrea moved heaven and earth to get them for me. Andrea and Sharon were certainly professional, but they were also warm and personable. They made the whole experience a pleasure!

I have to begin by saying I was not your average bride. I did not go in with a "vision" of my perfect dress or any clue what direction to take. I had a very tight budget and was only in to see if any samples would work. I had my future monther-law-law, future grandmother-in-law and a girlfriend with me as my support and fashion experts... Andrea was so, so patient with me. After trying on about 5 dresses of my own choosing she asked me if I would mind trying on one she picked out. It did not look like anything I would have chosen but she had been so sweet it was the least I could do. IT WAS PERFECT!! Nothing I would have ever imagined yet now, I can't see me getting married in anything different. She stayed within my budget perfectly and had a satisfied customer.
I went back months later just to look at veils and shoes and again, Andrea stepped up to the call of duty. She even remembered me and the group I was with. She remembered my dress perfectly and without even having it there found a veil that looked like it was designed for the dress and shoes that were comfortable, able to wear on grass since I had a garden wedding and actually were comfortable! Not to mention, neither were even on display which means she understood me well enough to go into the back and dig for that "perfect" fit! AND both were on sale!!!!
I am happy to say now when people look at my photos and compliment my dress that I was 100% styled by Down the Aisle!

Down The Aisle had everything I needed. They took an interest in our love story, and made me feel incredibly valued and well taken care of.

How many mothers can have two daughters married within three months of each other and have everything go so well? From the moment I called Down the Aisle to inquire about their shop until the moment my daughters walked down the aisle, the service Andrea and Gail provided was outstanding down to the last detail. We bought two weddings dresses and 11 bridesmaids dresses for both weddings. We also bought the mother of the brides dresses. Everything turned out perfectly. Even when at the last minute on one of the weddings, I just felt my dress wasn't the best choice for me, they quickly and easily helped me find a different dress. The fittings all went exceptionally well and both my brides, the bridesmaids and I loved our dresses. Their service was incredible and I recommend Down The Aisle to all my friends. They made one of the more hectic parts of the wedding process absolutely easy and perfect.

I got my dress at Down the Aisle..and it was the BEST experience to buying a wedding dress. The dresses can be a bit pricey in the store, so my friend and I went just to browse and try dresses on for an idea of a style. They gave us our own private room, helped pick out dresses that were all different styles and also tried to match the style you liked. They were so helpful in giving you an idea of what you really like and allowing you to have fun and feel beautiful as a bride. It was so much fun..we were so well taken care of..and I ended up finding the perfect dress on the sale rack at the store. They referred me to Something Blue in santa margarita, to get my alterations done...which is the BEST place ever. Jennifer Blue does wedding dress alterations, and will not let you take you dress out of the store until it is perfect. She is a delight to work with as well.

My mom and I did a lot of gown shopping before we came to Down the Aisle. This was the perfect experience. First of all, ask for Gail--she was fantastic. Genuine ,down to earth, super smart, and she knew exactly the kinds of gown to show me--I didn't even have to show her any photos. I just described our wedding venue and some ideas of feel and she went and pulled a bunch of gowns. The store is elegant and you have your own private room. You really feel like a bride here. And Gail was great about working with our budget --she never pulled any gowns outside of my budget and she was super knowledgeable. We didn't feel any pressure at all to buy and she didn't ever try to push one gown over the other. She was also easy to talk with and a whole lot of fun! This was the best experience--and she found me the perfect gown at the perfect price!!!

My experience at Down the Aisle was great! They provided first rate service, got my dress to me before it was promised, and recommended the best person for alterations (Jennifer Blue at Something Blue). I tried on dresses at several other boutiques in the area and Down the Aisle far surpassed them with service and selection. They even beat the price of the other boutique in the area for the same dress.

I had a great experience shopping for my wedding dress at Down the Aisle. I showed up for my first appointment by myself, with no expectiations but a vague idea of the dress I wanted. I gave my price range and was led around the store to pick out my favorites. When I was done, I was asked if she could pick out dresses that she thought would look good on me. Much to my suprise, the instant I put on the one that was picked out for me, I knew it was the one! I was back two weeks later with my mom to buy the amazing dress!

My mother looked everywhere for her dress and we were so happy to have found this beautiful boutique! This is one of those few stores where you can trust your attendant's opinion and rely on their guidance. My mom is not easily pleased but she did not hesitate to purchase her dress at Down the Aisle even though she lives in Sonoma County- she had the dress shipped to her by the store! Plus, you will love the shop because it is super cute!
