“Absolutely amazing experience! Not rush or pressured, just a fun lovely time. The stylist Kelly ended up recommending the dress I picked. They really have the eye for it!”
“Anthony is a true professional. He walked me through buying a ring for my then girlfriend, and I had no idea what I was doing. Now I'm engaged, and the ring and, more importantly, the diamond was perfect. He's transparent, straightforward, and will not rush you into a decision. His prices are better than anything you'll find in a store, on par with online wholesalers, but his service and quality are 1000 times better. Go with Anthony (Protea Diamonds), and you will have no regrets! 6 out of 5 if Google would let me.”

12500 Park Potomac Ave Suite B, Potomac“India was my bridal stylist, and I had an absolutely amazing experience! She was so patient, attentive, and truly made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Not only did she listen to everything I was looking for, but she also pulled a dress that had every detail I dreamed of – it was perfect! From start to finish, she made the experience feel so special, memorable, and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist and would highly recommend Love Couture and working with India!”
“I had a great experience with Rosalin's Bridal Boutique! I was looking for a particular dress that I saw online, which they did not have, but they carried the designer, so they ordered one for me to try on. I liked it, but they showed a different dress by the same designer that I liked even better. I am a plus size, and it was in stock, so they worked with me even late at night to get the dress ordered before the price changed. The only problem I had was that there was a mixup with the shipping of the dress, but that was the designer's fault, not Rosalin's. There was still plenty of time for the alterations. The alterations person was very nice and did exactly what I wanted with the dress. Would highly recommend.”
“I bought my dress at K&B today and it was such a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everyone I interacted with there, from my pre-appointment consultation call through my appointment was super friendly and warm.
Kate, who I worked with while trying dresses, was great and a total bridal dress pro. She paid attention to both what I said I was looking for and also my reactions to all of the dresses, and used her observations to pull dresses that I may not have originally thought I’d like. Her approach worked because I found a dress that I loved, but may not have picked off the rack to try on my own. I fully expected to have to go to multiple bridal shops to find the dress, but thanks to Kate, I got it on the first try!
I also loved that as a size 16, I was actually able to try on and get into every dress I was looking at. The size inclusivity was SO appreciated.”

3237 P St NW, Washington“An exceptional experience at a fine institution. The proprietor Ed took care of us in a timely manner without lacking even the smallest attention to detail. We are visiting for the DC Mardi Gras and needed tuxedos last minute. Ed was very accommodating and his prices were so reasonable! We are leaving tomorrow and he even offered to pickup our clothes from the hotel for us. Wow! Great service, and will definitely be back next time in DC. Oh and he recommended Martin's Tavern for lunch, a local establishment, calling the manager to ensure we got in!”
“I had a great experience with this bridal shop! It was my 3rd store and I knew I was going to be a tough client, I had a low budget and my wedding was only 3 months out. My stylists was amazing! She pulled everything she possibly could and even let us look through the racks ourselves (I went with my mom and sister). She was extremely patient with me and my indecisiveness and offered her opinion when I looked to her for additional advice. She also made sure it would be possible to have alterations done in time for my wedding before I even made a purchase. Thanks to iCON Bridal, I not only found my dress but also received outstanding service. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in search of their perfect gown!”
“I went by myself and was a bit overwhelmed, but the woman helping me there made it 1000x better! Her attitude and personality are amazing! I said yes to the dress thanks to her!”

260 W Broad St, Falls Church“I found a beautiful dress at Zoya’s, which has some of the best designers in the DMV. The staff are truly wonderful and will provide top notch service but I urge brides to be cautious about extra fees not known until check-out (once you have committed to the purchase).”
“Married in 2022…long overdue review. Loved my experience here. Everyone was lovely, they made the visit feel special even though I was by myself. My dress was stunning and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice.”
“I had SUCH a wonderful experience at Fairytale Brides! Missy was absolutely amazing-- she really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the PERFECT dress! She was so knowledgable, helpful, and patient and really gave her honest opinion. This is a great place to shop for a wedding dress and it is so much more meaningful knowing that it is run by volunteers and proceeds are donated to charity!”

8075 Leesburg Pike, Vienna“Crystal from Elegance was amazing, she guided me. She asked the right questions and guided me toward amazing styles and ideas. Overall I enjoyed my experience and I am coming back again for my final pick. Thank you Crystal!”
“Thanks Tiffany for an amazing experience, my family and I had such a wonderful they can't stop talking about lol. Again thanks so much for time and patience, can't wait until my dress arrives!!”
“I had a really wonderful experience at Lovely Bride in DC in May of 2024 - my stylist Sydney was so warm and welcoming.
This was my first appointment ever and I came in with a few nerves and Sydney quickly helped me feel so comfortable. She listened to my likes and dislikes and brought out some really beautiful dresses.
Lovely has such a wide array of dresses in all different styles and sizes and I found that the 90 minutes was a perfect length of time to figure out what I liked and disliked. I will 100% recommend Lovely to any DC brides I know!”
“I went with my sister to try on dresses for her wedding. Alexis was amazing! She’s super sweet, helpful, positive, and informational. I will definitely be returning when it’s time to shop for my own wedding.”

2420 Wilson Blvd Suite 205, Arlington“Jeanhee altered my wedding dress and added bustles to it. She was very professional and knowledgeable, and was able to make last minute changes. I wore a strapless dress and was worried it would not stay up, but it fit perfectly and I was able to dance all night. Highly recommend!”
“Lola is an expert at what she’s doing. Not only she knows her stuff, she’s also considerate of the bride’s concerns and questions and try her best to answer everything clearly and professionally. The way she quickly pinpoint every little detail of the dress to be able to give the best outcome as possible is phenomenal. I am a type A bride so I thought of every question and detail I could be doing/changing with the dress before going to the first appointment and to my surprise, she mentioned them all before I even thought to ask. Lola carefully pinned the dress to the length we want which will only touch the floor and it flows nicely when I walk (see the picture below). She also recommended the kind of bustle that will look best with my dress, shape wear to use, to changing the comb on my veil to metal comb instead of plastic, tighten my sleeves a little bit for a better fit, etc. It took us about 4 appointments for the dress to fit me perfectly (she’s always mindful of when the dress should be done ever since we started) and I loved every single one appointment with her. She’s extremely a joy and pleasure to work with. And her price is extremely reasonable. Do yourself a favor and get your wedding dress to Lola!”
“I always go to Meis for alterations! I order a lot of things used from The Real Real and she always tailors them to fit perfectly in short order. I’ve actually taken her dresses that the alterations people at Nordstrom tried to tell me could not be altered to fit how I wanted —and she fixed with no issue at all much more reasonable price.
Always call first before going by in case someone is there for a bridal appt since they are a small shop. I most recently took my “reception” dress from my elopement with less than a week to go and she made it happen for me at a super reasonable price. So many compliments! Thank you guys!”
“The name for this place is dead-on. I was running errands and looking for a place to get a button sewed onto a beloved coat. I pulled in and saw fancy wedding gown in the window and the sign on the door that said, "By appointment only" with a phone number. So I called. The woman who runs the place picked up immediately and came to the door. She was clearly busy but let me in and immediately. She is a woman of few words. All action, though. She tended to me and sewed the button on by hand, just standing there and refused to take any money from me. This is the kind of business any town should be proud to have and support.”
“I’m still in awe of how quickly my pants were altered. The seamstress is exceptional and committed to delivering quality service. This is the only place I trust to alter my garments in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area. 10/10 - highly recommend!”
“I had THE MOST amazing experience! I had a custom design, and Callie was really helpful and communicative during that whole process. Once the dress came in, Jas did some incredible work with the alterations and was able to rush them so I could have the dress in time to travel out west for the wedding! Could not recommend them more :)”

1010 Wisconsin Avenue NWSuite 310, Washington“I had a great experience at Nazemi Bridal. Tannaz and her staff are very friendly and professional. She put a lot of time listening to my concerns, giving ideas and suggesting improvements. I have a very delicate gown so the precision of the work was very important. Couldn’t be happier with the results! You’ll get great customer service and work done at this place!”
“Say Yes for Less provided a lovely experience for me and my mom during my wedding dress search. Their lowest priced dresses ($1,100) were a bit higher than what I was hoping to spend, but having visited five other stores previously and not finding many options, I was willing to spend a bit more to get what I wanted. The associate I worked with helped me find a wedding dress that checked all the boxes on my wish list. It was nice to buy a new dress off the rack so I could keep it at home in the months leading up to the wedding as opposed to waiting for one to be shipped.
I also had my dress alterations done at Say Yes for Less. They charged me a flat fee of $600 cash for all the alterations. The seamstress and shop owner who worked with me made sure my concerns with my dress were addressed. I was a bit disappointed that the straps on my dress couldn’t be tightened further (they kept slipping due to my posture), but their suggestion of using fashion tape helped keep the straps up for most of my wedding.
Overall, I would recommend Say Yes for Less to other brides looking for a wedding dress.”
“Anna’s Bridal is wonderful. The lady’s there are so friendly and make you feel welcomed. I went for my 2nd fitting and they did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to take it home in July!!”
