My mom set up several bridal appointments for me in both Ohio and California and this was the very last boutique we visited. This was by far the smallest boutique, but it was also the most beautiful one, and the experience could not have been more personal and enjoyable. The two women who own this boutique are French with an impeccable taste in wedding style. They have dresses, veils, head pieces and jewelry from designers all over the world in their shop. I just so happened to visit them when they had gowns from Peter Trends Bridal, an Australian designer. I absolutely fell in love with the Bali Hai gown, but the dress was a bit above my price range. I spoke with the two owners of the boutique as well as with Peter Trends directly, and they were able to offer me the sample gown at a discount! It was a dream come true to be able to purchase this dress, and the experience didn’t end there. After I bought my gown, the two women helped me find the perfect veil from one of their UK designers and also offered me a discount. They also gave me accessory ideas which my mom then later used to design my own hair piece with Kate and The Crown on Etsy. They met with me and their personal seamstress at least 6 different times to ensure the alterations for my dress were nothing short of perfect. I have not experienced this attention to detail and level of customer service at any other bridal boutique in Ohio or the Bay Area. If you are looking for a unique, designer gown, unprecedented customer service and two women who will become true friends by the end of your wedding dress experience, then look no further than Nouvelle Vogue Boutique in San Mateo! I’m still in awe by my experience with this place!

This small boutique has a selection of the most elegant and unique couture dresses. We knew when we entered the salon that it is a cut above the the other places we'd been. Stunning dresses; each different from the next; great variety of tasteful styles. Beautiful designer gowns that don't need gimmicks. You can see the quality in the fit, the details, the fabric. Outstanding. Not a place to find 'cheap'. They understood our budget and we found exactly the right wedding gown thanks to Chantal & Saida.

Chantal & Saida were such a pleasure to work with it is almost hard to put into words! I left the store where I found the dress I knew was right for me just so that I could work with them. They are some of the nicest ladies who always make you feel comfortable and welcomed in their adorable boutique. It is the best way to shop for a wedding dress hands down! No other stores that I visited in the Bay Area compared!
