CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • I have known Arminé for decades. She has designed many fun and beautiful gowns and outfits for me throughout the years. When it was time for my wedding, I knew she would be the designer I would work with. From my baby doll bridal shower dress to my Marie Antoinette themed bachelorette party, where all my girlfriends were dressed in RMINÉ gowns, to the wedding day itself.

    Arminé’s vision for my wedding was stunning, starting with my two piece gown that highlighted my Mexican heritage for my Frida Kahlo themed rehearsal dinner. My wedding gown was both simple and elegant. The fabric was a delicate silk chiffon with 3 dimensional flowers. I really felt the custom-ness of my gown since every single flower on my bodice and cathedral veil was placed individually and hand stitched. At midnight, I changed into my silk chiffon silver beaded RMINÉ dress with an asymmetrical back drape to dance the night away in our disco themed room.

    My bridesmaids also wore RMINÉ gowns — each dress was designed in different colors to match their personalities and body types. My groomsmen had matching pocket squares.

    On the day of my wedding, I felt like a princess. Arminé even surprised me with a mini version of my wedding gown and matching veil on a Barbie!

    I lived in New York at that time, and the trips to Los Angeles were fun and worth it!”

“Armine is the best to work with when it comes to collaborating on a vision for your wedding look. I knew conceptually what I wanted but couldn't put it into words well. Armine helped me understand all the options I wasn't even aware of. I had the most beautiful wedding dress, cape and bumper jacket/pant suit combo ever. I am STILL getting asked where I got these made! Can't recommend Armine enough!”

 

AMANDA

“Thank you for the dress of my dreams! You guys killed it and I’m so grateful for your hardworking and amazing eye for detail. It was such a pleasure working with you. I’m sending every bride-to-be your way. You are amazing and thank you for everything!”

 

NATALIE

"The best part about planning my bridal shower and wedding was the opportunity to work with RMINÉ. This was the one “stress-free” moment I had and looked forward to while planning these two events. Working with RMINÉ is like having a blank canvas and the wildest imagination. After sharing a few ideas of wanting something colorful for my bridal shower and some textured fabric for my wedding dress, Armine naturally had the perfect design in mind! I enjoyed the process so much because Armine brought up points and details about my own personality that was reflected in the designs that I never even thought about. Walking down the aisle in my very own RMINÉ gown was a moment to cherish forever.Thank you, auntie, for making me feel so special!"

 

YESTER

"I was one of those brides that had zero idea what she wanted. I walked in talking about lace and walked out with a satin dress. Armine was nothing but patient with me. Aside from the patience, she helped me narrow down my dream dress, which was no easy task. She is truly a visionary in her line of work and creates dresses that compliment every part of her brides — from their body shapes to their personalities. Arminé is an amazing person to be around! Going into her shop was the highlight of my week. I loved my dress, and even more, I loved the experience leading up to the final product."

“Everything about Armine and her staff is truly amazing! I had a really hard time finding my dream wedding dress but Armine made it easy for me. She gave me her ideas and fabric choices and the rest was up to me! I am still obsessing over my beautiful bridal gown plus veil and how beautiful both turned out to be! Thank you Armine and team for all your hard work and sticking by my side from day one even when my wedding was canceled and rescheduled due to Covid-19. I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day!”

 

ANI

“Growing up and having a mom who designs couture gowns for a living - made my experience even more one-of-a-kind. When it came time to plan my wedding, specifically my wedding gown, I really let her take the lead. The only thing I wanted was to feel like a real-life princess, with a ballgown dress; it was definitely the easiest part of planning my wedding. My dream became a reality with each fitting. My mom exceeded my own expectations, and for that I’ll always feel like the luckiest bride.”

 

EMILY

  • She delicately worked with me to design the cape and dress of my dreams! I wanted to look like a celestial goddess on my big day, and Armine did just that. The beading is just so breathtaking, It’s truly the most beautiful thing I own and I’ll cherish it forever. I never thought I could look so beautiful on my wedding day and I’ll forever look back at pictures with so much love and admiration for Armine’s design, care and guidance.

    Thank you Armine for bringing my wish to reality.”

“After trying on almost 100 dresses, and wanting to make changes to every single one, I decided that designing a custom dress was the best route for me. I wanted a princess ballgown for my ceremony and a sleek and sexy tearaway style for the reception. Armine of RMINÉ worked with me to bring all of my ideas to life while injecting her years of knowledge and endless creativity every step of the way.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, and are interested in a custom wedding dress, I would highly recommend visiting RMINÉ.”

And throughout the process she was kind, patient and helped calm bridal jitters. In the end, I ended up with a dress that I love and felt amazing wearing it on my wedding day.”

“Armine was so great and easy to work with. I brought her a few print outs of what I was looking for and between the print outs and a short explanation she was able to sketch the most beautiful cape I could imagine. She was able to work within my budget and time frame making the entire process extremely pleasant and stress free.”
