Mariposa Boutique

I loved so many dresses in this boutique. The staff is super friendly, helpful and patient. I do wish they did in-house alterations, but their recommendations were very good.

This was the second place I went to find a wedding dress. I had an AWFUL experience at David Bridal's and was looking not to repeat that experience. With the great reviews for this place, I was excited for my appointment and I was not disappointed. The salon is very cute and small. I didnt feel overwhelmed with the choices but trust me, there is a lot to see here as well. My consultant was awesome! I had no idea what I was looking for and so she found some amazing dresses to try and my third dress was the first one she suggested and it was THE DRESS. It was made for me!! I feel in love completely and didn't try on any other dresses. I paid for my dress that day and it was the best decision!! The staff were all friendly and suggested other vendors like make-up and photographers. Great place!

I worked with Naheemah (might have butchered that spelling). She was great. She stayed with dresses in my budget and only showed me anything SLIGHTLY above when I requested it and made sure I felt comfortable with it. She never once pressured me into seeing any dresses out of my price range and was very helpful and attentive. She got was I looking for and gave me several options. Again, never pushy and was very honest. She was not a "yes girl" and lied to me about what looked good or not. She would tell me when something didn't flatter my figure as much as other dresses and unlike some of my company that was there to "help" me always asked IF I liked or not. HOW DID I feel in it etc. She was just awesome and they were very professional and let me know when everything was ready. They even threw in the bridal dress prep for free and gave me a 10% discount since I found it slightly cheaper online. LOVED them and most of all Naheemah!

I purchased my wedding dress at Mariposa. It was simple and stressfree. The first time I went in with my mother, FMIL, FSIL, and my niece. Sandra was my consultant and was so helpful. At the first appointment I was torn between two dresses so I made another appointment to try them on again and decide. I ordered my dress in September 2010. It arrived on time in February. I purchased a Maggie Sottero. The fitting went great! However, when I left with my dress the consultant (not Sandra) never mentioned their recommended alterations person or when I needed to bring the dress back for steaming service so I had to call them back both times. I took my dress back a few days before the wedding for the pressing service and the dress turned out perfect. I would highly recommend Mariposa!

I purchased my wedding dress at Mariposa. My bridal consultant was Jessica. She was very helpful and very nice. The place is very nice and they have a wide selection of gowns. I highly recommend this bridal boutique!

Mariposa is an unassuming bridal boutique, but once you step inside it's like a bridal fashion show! The store has racks and racks of amazing gowns for you to look through, and on the other side there are dressing rooms which are up on a "runway" with tables and chairs below it for your friends and family to watch you try on dresses! If you aren't impressed by the store itself, then wait until you meet their amazing staff. Every person I worked with at Mariposa was beyond upbeat and helpful. It was here that I actually found my favorite gown designer (Watters & Watters) thanks to the staff's expertise in matching me with what I liked, but because it was only the second salon I went to, I felt I had to keep shopping. I had some awful experiences other places, and then ended up finding "THE" dress (by same designer) at a very snooty and expensive salon. I didn't love the service I got at that salon, and knew I'd be paying a premium on my dress just to help pay their expensive rent. I called around and found another salon that was having a Watters trunk show so they were giving discounts. Still thinking about the incredible service I got at Mariposa, I decided to call and see if they'd match the trunk show price - and they did!! I was thrilled because I wanted to give my hard money to people who had really earned it. Not to mention, they didn't even carry the sample of my dress but they ordered it for me anyway, and actually ordered the sample for their salon as well! I really do love the girls at Mariposa, and can't praise them highly enough. They don't do alterations in house but recommended a great place nearby that did an amazing job for a decent price. The only reason I took a half star off for value is because the alterations place they referred me to doesn't do pressings but Mariposa does, however their prices for that seemed to be rather high. If I hadn't been in such a time crunch I may have shopped around for that a little more, but they did a great job pressing it nonetheless!

So nice! I loved this place! I went to so many boutique's and bridal shops for all the "extras" and everything else I need for my wedding outfit, and either everywhere was extremely rude, way overpriced, or just too busy for anyone who didn't have an appointment. Mariposa is very helpful and friendly and down to earth. Even though I did not purchase my wedding dress from them, they still helped me. Other high-end or chain-stores would not do that. Thanks to Mariposa, I found my perfect veil and earrings! Thank you so much! Thank you for your help and I recommend this store to anyone.

I couldn't be happier with my wedding dress purchase experience. I knew the dress that I wanted when I came into Mariposa. I had called many places and all of them had sold their floor sample (urgh). Mariposa was the only one that still had the floor sample. Leanna was a sweetheart - she helped me with my dress, she was also my middlewoman when I was negotiating the price with the store owner. Luckily I came in on a day they had some kind of a promotion and was able to get a discount. Overall, I love this place AND they are open on Sundays - other bridal boutiques, take notice! Good luck to everyone at Mariposa, especially my girl, Leanna!

Great place, my mother and I had a blast. We planned a week to do all the shopping for my wedding.This was the first place on our list.

Very nice place, the staff is very friendly, specially Jessica, she maid my dress shopping a wonderful experience. Overall this is a great place to get your dress from.

Tons of gorgeous dresses to choose from. Everyone is so helpful.

Mariposa was one of the two shops that carried the designer I was looking for within the SoCal area. I called to see if they had the specific dress I was looking for and they did and I made an appointment. When I got there (on time) they were still working with previous appointments so they put me in the back room...which isn't very appealing to the eye. Nonetheless, I loved the dress. The same day my bridesmaids also found their dresses. We ordered/bought the dresses that day. There was a slight "freak out moment" when they called me a few months later asking if my bridesmaids were ready to order their dresses yet! I told the girl that they already ordered them and should in fact be in any day now. She said she would call back...when she did she apologized for the confusion and that the dresses had already been ordered. It was just a minor oversight on her part I guess. Overall, the sales associates are very nice and willing to please. I would totally use them again.

I found the dress of my dreams here. The girls who helped me were courteous, patient, cheerful and very helpful. They did not force a decision on me, they helped me in finalizing my decision. I was so pleased with their service and my beautiful dress. It is by Maggie Sotterro and is called Adorae. Along with their service, I was referred to great alterations place which is located right across the street from the boutique. Was expensive but the dress fit as though it was made just for measurements exactly. I was completely satisfied. Everything fit jst right and the dress was completed on a timely matter and even before the expected finish date.Once alterations were finished I was able to take my dress back to the boutique and have it pressed as part of the dress purchase. It looked awesome and was more amazing than I could have imagined.

I was in search for a veil that looked similar to a 500.00 veil I had fallen in love with at another bridal. I walked into Mariposa without an appointment and helped myself. I wasn't expecting any help because i knew what i was looking for and i just wanted to get in an out and on to the next if I didn't see what I was looking for since there was about 2 months to go before the wedding. I happened to come across the most beautiful veil that was an almost exact replica of the 500.00 veil for half the price. Even though still a little above what I wanted to pay, I decided t go ahead and buy it. I was so happy I did. It was beautiful and arrived in plenty of time. I was very pleased with the sales associates who offered to help even though I didn't have an appointment. The only problem I had was that I wasn't called when my veil came in. I had to call them but then again, maybe i didn't give them enough time to call me because i was so anxious.

I am not want to really want to put out negative things but I must say that I had the worst experience with this boutique. I ordered my wedding dress about 7 months before our wedding, and as any other bride would, I order my dream dress. I ordered a Maggie Sottero dress. I was recommended to purchase the dress a size larger than what I should have given the style and design of my dress. I also had plans and intentions to lose weight and apparently my sales rep didn't think I would. Long story short my dress was 2 sizes too big, a huge disaster because it needed major alterations and it had a lot of detail so much that I was going to compromise the look of my dress. The dress shopping experience became a night mare when they did not want to accomadate a new dress for me. To top things off, I orded $400 pair bridal shoes and they were defective. My dress was also defective in some of the beading details. They pretended to be helpful but at the end of the day I got stuck with a dress too big, huge alteration fees, and the worst dress shopping experience that I would never want anyone to go thru. My dream dress became a nightmare. Not once did I really feel like they cared an ounce of what I felt and was going thru, not really knowing wheather things would work out. I luckly found a seamstress elsewhere and my dress was made just right. But I just know that my wedding planning experince could have been so much better and less stressful had I not gone to Mariposa Boutique. Thru this they had another bride that was also going thru what I was going thru because they wanted to give me her dress if she fit into a smaller dress. This proved to me that none of the personal and sales people really know what they are selling or have any heart to sell the right style, fit, and dress design. I will never recommend that anyone go to this shop.

I first encountered Mariposa Boutique at a bridal show in Redondo Beach. They had racks and racks of dresses out, and were very helpful in letting me try on a big variety of dresses. I must have tried 10-15 dresses in that one shot, with my family ooooh'ing and aaah'ing and pulling dresses from here and there in their excitement. But the sales staff were patient, and accommodating. I decided to try going to their salon, since I didn't find anything in that trip.That second visit is when I found MY dress. I was actually about 90% sure on a v-neck dress before I asked if they had one in a similar style but strapless (Fiancee's favorite). As soon as I put it on, I loved it. Ordering was easy and the dress came back in the time frame as expected. When I picked up the dress, they let me take my time putting it on and parading around in front of my Mom. The only downside was that they did not have alteration services in house, but it worked out fine for me, as I was able to find a seamstress closer to where I live. If you want great service and a boutique where they actually allow you to take pictures in the dress (a HUGE plus as any bride knows) I would suggest giving this place a try.

I bought my dress here at Mariposa boutique and I couldn't be happier! I went in about 7 months before the wedding and set an appt up with Beth, upon arriving she helped me soo much and brought me about 10 dresses to try on, while my girls brought another 5. I fell in love with one and decided that it was definitely thee one and purchased it right away. Fast forward 5 months and my dress was ready for pick up, I tried it on and it fit like a glove! Ladies if you're looking for the perfect wedding dress I'm sure they'll have it here for you, the prices of the dresses do range and they have dresses for all wedding budgets.

I had gone to Mariposa twice.Initially, I brought one of my bridesmaids to try on dress. N****** was assisting us, well I wouldn't exactly call it assisting as she seemed far more interested in oogling over the women coming out in bridal dresses. I found a veil there that I really liked and was really thinking about purchasing it. I asked about Chantilly lace veils, and was told they are VERY pricey. I felt a bit insulted by this, as if I didn't know this or couldn't afford it.In all fairness they have a wide range of selection on bridesmaids dresses. So I scheduled an appointment for the rest of my bridal party to go and try on dresses. The girls found the style they liked, but the store did not have the color swatch samples since it was a new color that was being introduced to the line. I called the designer specifically and asked how long it would take for the swatches to be sent to the store and I was told 5-7 days after the store placed the order for the swatches. Week one went by, week 2, week 3, by this time I was aggravated and called the store. Finally I was able to get the color swatches. Overall- The experience is hit or miss. My experience was less than stellar. If you have WEEKS to wait for a response then you may want to check this place out.

I was a little unhappy when the day of my wedding came and my accesories had not arrived and I had been given the wrong accesories. So frustrating at the time, and I didn't even end up wearing a hair piece because i was so dissapointed. My dress was beautiful, but Mariposa did not do a good job at making sure it was pressed. I looked at my dress the day of the wedding and it was wrinkled, and let me remind you that pressing was extra expense. That particular shop in Anaheim is not very organized or they're not communicating well.

Initially when my daughter and I went to this dress shop, our experience was a positive one overall and the staff was pleasant. However when the dress came in, we were shocked to find out that it was not representative of the sample dress in color AT ALL! And the sash that ties in the back was not the same width as the one on the sample dress, nor the same color. The new gown lacked the vintage look that my daughter was drawn to. The detail of the flowers and applique, and contrast was completely missing. We were EXTREMELY dissapointed. After six weeks of emails, I have tried to no avail, in getting the owner to meet with me towards a resolution. She assigned an assistant manager to work with me. While the assistant manager is nice, she does not have the authority that the owner Kacey does. Consideration was given to dyeing the dress, replacing it with a new gown, and having alterations come up with ideas. Harmony Alterations was not able to meet our deadline or our price constraints and Kacey wasn't offering anything other than "help...some" which became a credit of $100 towards changes. Teresa in Alterations had little to offer because she said she's too busy with other alterations, and it would probably be too expensive. We're so utterly exhausted trying to fix this issue. Mariposa Bride did contact the designer to help with the situation but they were disinterested and felt they fulfilled their end. Mariposa Bride did not step up to the plate and make things right. They claim it was dirt and sun damage. This was not the normal dirt I've seen on sample gowns at many dress shops. This was SIGNIFICANT! Some MB staff also noticed it, and immediately. The Father of The Bride is now involved and hopefully we will come to a resolution in the future, but at this time and the latest email, MB is unreasonable and acting inappropriately. Therefore I can not recommend this salon.
