Had the absolute best experience finding my dream wedding dress at NWLA. Nadia and her team were so incredible to work with. I would highly recommend shopping here. I had visited 5...
-6 other shops between NYC & LA, and this was the best! In terms of selection, although small, was so perfectly curated. Everything I tried on was absolutely gorgeous even if it wasn't totally my style. The price was reasonable, I was able to find a dress slightly below what I budgeted. I couldn't be happier with my dress! I recommend shopping here to all brides!
If you’re looking for your very own “Cinderella” moment, complete with fairy godmothers, you must get to NWLA Bridal.
I told Nadia (shop owner) and Debra what I was looking for an...
d what I wasn’t looking for. They got the vision, but they asked me to try ONE dress that was part of my “absolutely not” list in terms of style. I was happy to, they’re the experts after all. I put it on and Nadia said “oh yeah, this is the dress.”
Wouldn’t you know it, that that dress, the first one I tried on at NWLA is THE dress?! Nadia and Debra were 100% right when it came to the dress. But that’s because they know the product. Nadia carries a carefully and expertly curated line of dresses and designers, which means she really knows what she has and what will work. You really can trust her recommendations because she knows what she’s talking about.
I tried a few more but no one could deny that the first dress was it. Nadia and Debra carefully and deliberately added some accessories to complete the look and I fully had that “OMG this is IT!” moment.
I have never felt so special, so celebrated, or cared for as I did when I visited NWLA Bridal. I ordered my dress that day, and I can’t wait for it to come in.
Book an appointment and see Nadia. You won’t regret it.
Within 5 minutes of entering this shop I found my dress!!!!!!! If you're looking for a dress in the Santa Monica / LA area, definitely visit NWLA. Nadia knows what she's doing!
Nadia and the NWLA team were absolutely amazing! They made us feel so loved and beautiful! The dresses are gorgeous. We will never ever forget the wonderful experience they gave us...

Nadia is AMAZING. She’s not a pushy shop owner at all, she truly feels like one of your friends and is so nice and easy going. She plucked a dress off the rack and it was THE dress...
. And I’m picky! She really knows her stuff and has beautiful dresses.
I cannot speak more highly of Nadia! I say to people all the time that veil shopping was one of my absolute favorite parts of wedding planning. I called the store one evening and s...
he kept the store open an extra hour to accommodate me. She had my dress in stock (which I had purchased from another vendor). She had me try it on with the veils. I so appreciated that she kindly gave me her opinion - not at all in a opinionated manner, but like a friend just trying to help me decide. She was extremely accommodating with my order, helping me make slight adjustments. She was a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry; after just an hour she felt like a friend. My friends all know how much I loved my "veil lady" - thank you so much for helping me! I wish I would have purchased my wedding dress here! Her shop is clean, quaint, beautifully designed, and her selection of dress are beautiful - you can tell she truly loves what she does and takes pride in helping brides.
I went to 5 popular & highly rated Bridal salons in LA twice over two weekends and couldn't find the dress I felt that "Ah!" moment with. Most of the sales people were pretty pushy...
to get me to buy a dress I wasn't really happy with. I honestly was starting to lose hope that I would find the perfect dress and would just have to settle. Then I found NWLA! Nadia, the owner of NWLA, is the nicest, sweetest, most calming person. She didn't pressure me at all to try on dresses I didn't like or to buy ones that looked good on me that I wasn't 100% in love with. Also by the way, she is stunning! She has great taste and is honest with you. She was also the only bridal salon that had this one specific Pronovias dress I was looking for that we both absolutely LOVED on me. I finally had found THE dress!! I was thrilled! We placed the order in mid-September and it arrived in early December, which was much earlier than expected. Nadia is so easy to work with. I wouldn't want to buy a dress from anyone else. I would highly recommend visiting NWLA to purchase your wedding dress!!
I started looking for wedding dresses about a year before I met Nadia. I went to most of the major designer shops in LA and a few in New York. The thing that stood out the most to ...
me about Nadia is there was no pressure to buy from her. After a lot of stores where they hassled me to hurry up and place my order I finally found Nadia. As a Santa Monica native I am so happy Santa Monica and Montana Ave now has Nadia. Nadia even went with me to my dress fittings at a nearby tailor. I cannot say enough nice things about Nadia she has truly become a friend and someone I admire—all from buying a wedding dress from her. Make your appointment and go see Nadia. NWLA will be the first and last store you need to be wedding ready.
NWLA is the dream boutique to fulfill all of your bridal dreams! From the moment you walk in, Nadia welcomes you and you feel like you’re old friends. The one room bridal salon mak...
es you feel like you’re getting the full VIP experience with all the attention on you. Nadia’s warm vibe and wealth of knowledge makes you feel so comfortable for your special day. Her selection of dresses and designers is one of a kind too. She has an eye for beautiful, elegant dresses at all price points.
Nadia took one look at me and the first dress she put me in ended up being my dress! She clearly has a knack for knowing what her brides want, even before they may know what they want!
I cannot recommend NWLA and Nadia more! It was the best experience possible for my dress shopping and I’m beyond grateful to Nadia! ❤️
