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!”

 

HAYLEY

“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."

 

LEE

“I can't thank you enough for making my wildest dreams come true with my custom wedding cape. It was absolutely perfect in every way. I had the best experience working with you.”

 

ANA

“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.”

ELIZABETH

“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.”

 

ELIZA

“Armine is so much more than a gifted designer. During the course of designing the dress, she became a friend and a trusted confidant. She interpreted my vision, and created something extraordinary. 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.”

 

JENA

“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.”

 

TRACY

“Working with RMINÉ was one of my favorite parts of my wedding process. They are creative beyond and think outside of the box every time. My dress turned out exactly how I imagined it and I’m still so honored I was able to work with them on it.”

“Where do I begin?! Armine is so talented and simply the best. I didn’t know what type of dress I was looking for and she guided me each step of the way. I had so much fun at each fitting, customizing every possible detail, making my dress truly one of a kind. 

Working with Armine and her team was my favorite part of the wedding planning process and I will cherish my dress and those memories forever!”

LAUREN

"Working with Armine to create my custom wedding dress was one of my favorite parts of planning my wedding. I had an idea of what I wanted when I contacted Armine, who took my vision and brought it to life. Being able to be apart of the process from the beginning from the first sketch to the final fitting was one of the coolest experiences. She is insanely talented, an incredible eye for detail, and a deep understanding of fabrics. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in a custom dress, she made the experience so easy and fun!”

“From the moment I met Armine almost 15 years ago, I knew she’d be the one to design my future wedding gown. When the time finally came, I couldn’t wait to get the process started. Armine has an incredible eye and paid such close attention to every cut and detail to make the gown perfect to my body. She truly brought my vision to life and I couldn’t have imagined of a more perfect, custom RMINÉ gown!”

MEGAN

"I recently had the honor of wearing a gorgeous dress designed by RMINE for my wedding, and it was a dream come true! Before even saying one word to RMINE, she knew what style of dress I was going to pick. RMINE created a beautiful masterpiece with delicate lace that embraced my body shape, adding unique lace trim details to the dress and veil. I am forever grateful for the artistry and passion that went into crafting my wedding gown."

DENISE

"I cannot recommend or thank RMINE enough for everything she has done! RMINE took into consideration everything my daughter wanted for her wedding gown while adding her own unique touch. After designing my daughter’s dress, she crafted mine with beautiful, beaded fabric, making me feel like a timeless old Hollywood star. She even rescued us by creating adorable flower girl dresses last minute. RMINE truly treated us like family and made my daughter’s day so special for everyone. I cannot thank her enough!"

  • Kelsey

    “I wandered into Armine's shop one day, feeling very stressed because the dress I had chosen somewhere else was not working out. She chose a dress off the rack that literally fit me perfectly but also fit my personality. She was able to make all the minimal adjustments within less than 2 weeks and also helped me with the veil I had purchased elsewhere. Everyone at my wedding complimented the dress and said I looked like a princess. Which, for a 42 year old, is nice to hear.”

  • Anita

    “I. Love. Arminé. It’s been 10 years since my wedding and I still adore Arminé and the gorgeous dress she designed for me. I remember being overwhelmed at the beginning of my wedding dress search, before I ever considered having a dress custom made. I must have tried on a hundred dresses at different boutiques, but nothing felt right and I couldn’t find the words for what I was looking for. Then, I visited RMINÉ. As I perused the racks, I told Arminé that I was having trouble describing what I wanted for my dress. She confidently stated, “I know exactly what you need, you need Couture meets Rock & Roll!” I almost cried because she was exactly right, I just hadn’t found the words to articulate it. At that moment, I knew I wanted to work with her. Arminé is incredibly talented, and truly has a gifted intuition about how to create for people while capturing their vision in a unique and personal way. I will always be grateful that I walked through her door. And she will always feel like family to me.”

  • Maite

    “I absolutely loved working with Armine and the entire team at R-Mine. From the moment I stepped into the store I knew it was going to be a different experience then the myriad of other bridal stores out there. Armine sat down with me, inquired about wedding details that no one else had asked, and was detail oriented throughout the design process. The process was seamless and timely, and I can’t say what a breath of fresh air it was to have found R-Mine. I loved my wedding dress, and can’t wait to create another custom dress down the road.”

  • Chevonne

    “I flew to LA to visit RMINÉ because all the dresses in Georgia look the exact same and I wanted my dress to be a signature piece. RMINÉ is like a dream come true . It's a place a girl can go to make her dream a reality. My dress was everything I imagined and more. I'll never forget the moment my husband first saw me . He said it was like magic. All of my guest oohed and awwwwed as I walked down the isle. My dress was perfect I felt beautiful and special knowing I was the first one to wear a dress like mine. RMINÉ is worth the trip every bride should go there. They understand that everyone's vision is different and execute your vision.”

    "When I was planning my wedding in 2013, I knew the flower girl dresses had to be something special for my husband's two adorable little cousins. I had heard about RMINÉ through an acquaintance who was having her wedding gown made there, so my mother and I decided to check it out. After one quick meeting and a couple of emails, the two most beautiful flower girl dresses I had ever seen - that perfectly matched my vision - were ready to be shipped to the girls. They are still one of the most talked about things when people bring up my wedding!”

I thought that working from a distance will be a hassle, with the time difference between Singapore and Los Angeles, but Armine was willing to have a phone chat with me whenever I wanted an update on the dress.
