Not very good price transparency, but overall, I enjoyed my experience! I paid nearly $1,000 more dollars to get a "plus size" dress (yes, $1,000), but they did not tell me that was going to be the case. I guess when entering into a couture shop, price isn't talked about because its expected that you can pay. I am 180lbs, so I knew I needed fabric, but not that much more. It could also be according to the designer, so I can understand if communication can't be expected until final cost is calculated.This is more my own input for future brides: I definitely regret not paying for the two hour appointment. I am indecisive and needed extra time, but that's on me.My 90 minute appt went fast as they started a little late and I felt they asked too many questions to try and get the wedding "vibe." I appreciate that you are trying to imagine the vibe so the dress can look accordingly, but this shouldn't be more than 2-3minutes (time is of the essence, again).Also tip for brides: go in with people keeping your vision in mind. The staff member is very nice, but at the end of the day they are a sales person, and they are trying to make a sale. There are also a lot of voices going on because everyone is excited, so make sure no one convinces you of a vision that is different from your own unless you know that you've changed your mind on your own.

I had the absolute best wedding dress shopping experience at Love Couture Bridal. All the associates at the shop were so warm and helpful. Prior to my appointment, I had a ton of help from Ronicka who stayed in contact with me and even ordered in a couple of Anne Barge dresses I liked that weren’t available in the salon so I could try them on for my appointment.Lauren was my bridal stylist for my appointment and she was absolutely amazing! She made the experience so special. She let us know that LCB is not a stuffy salon and encouraged my group and I to walk around the store to take a look at the dresses to see if there were any additional ones I would like to try on.Lauren not only encouraged me and made me feel great in each and every dress I tried on, but really took the time to learn about me and my goals for the wedding, and gave me so many wonderful tips.Once I picked out my dream dress, Lauren asked me the big question and then popped open a bottle of sparkling wine for us to celebrate. We didn’t finish so she even corked it back up for us to take home and enjoy.I also must mention, that my appointment was on the same day as a snowstorm, and the salon did a wonderful job messaging me to let me know if they were going to stay open that day and give me options to reschedule if necessary.

Love Couture Bridal is the best bridal (and more) boutique in the DC area! I had my heart set on finding a light blue wedding gown and cape, and they made it happen! The second I walked in the door, India and the other stylists took such good care of me and understood exactly what I was looking for, and nailed my dress on the first try! During my appointment, they consulted with the designer in real-time to explore the possibilities of making my dress blue and adding a cape, and the result was a breathtaking custom Enaura gown and matching cape I wore at my destination wedding in the Rocky Mountains! I brought my mom to the salon to find a modern black tie mother of the bride dress, and she found the perfect evening gown with the team’s help! When my dress came, it needed minimal alterations, and the alterations team was absolutely incredible and fit the dress to me perfectly. 1000+ stars to LCB!

Love Couture was the first and only bridal boutique that I visited and I had an incredible experience.I booked a VIP appointment and definitely highly recommend. I brought 4 guests and upon arrival we were greeted warmly at the front desk. We were introduced to our stylist, Lalique, who brought us to a private room set up with a charcuterie board, snacks, water, and a bottle of bubbly.Lalique was super attentive to me and my guests and made sure we were all comfortable before diving into the dresses.I had shared my Pinterest board with her before the appointment and she had already pulled the exact dresses (or dresses in that style). She made sure that I was comfortable in each and was really attentive to how I reacted and felt about each dress (likes/dislikes/etc). I really appreciated that she made sure I could take a break and reset every now and then.The VIP appointment lasted 2 hours and was the perfect amount of time to go through all of the options so that I could confidently say YES to my dress.We had such an amazing time in an amazing and welcoming environment. Thanks so much to Lalique and the rest of the team at Love Couture Bridal- this was truly an unforgettable experience!

I had a great experience working with Lauren at Love Couture Bridal. Coming in, I knew I had a relatively short dress ordering window to work within (8-9 months for delivery and alterations) , and she immediately put me at ease! Based on the information I provided about my preferences, venue, wedding date, wedding vibe, budget, she was able to pull a variety of dresses which included made to order gowns and off the rack. All the gowns I tried on were beautiful, and I said yes to a stunning dress which I was able to take home off the rack!! The dress was in fantastic condition and now I don't have to stress over rush deliveries. Thank you, Lauren!

Working with Lauren was a wonderful experience! Before my appointment, Lauren called me to introduce herself and learn more about what I wanted in a wedding dress. When we arrived at the bridal shop, she had already selected dresses that matched my aesthetic. She was thoughtful, engaging and made the entire experience fun! Thank you, Lauren, for helping me find the perfect dress!

Lauren was the best. She listened so well to my daughter's wishes and desires. And she was like a fun wonderful friend. And her knowledge and taste was second to none.

What an extremely special place! I had the most amazing experience at Love Couture where I eventually found my dress as well. Even if I had not found my dress there, I still would have rated this place as my best overall experience. My sales associate's name was India and she completely read the room between my mother, mother-in-law, and myself. I liked several dresses from a particular designer and she totally noticed when my face would light up with certain dresses and she encouraged me to think about how I felt and not necessarily how I looked which I appreciated so much. I have had a hard time narrowing dresses down because I have liked so many of them and she really encouraged me to not have a long list of dresses I like kept in mind because in the end it is highly unlikely you're going to choose your 5th favorite dress ahaha! I really was torn between two dresses and she encouraged me to sit on it for the weekend. When I came back I was still slightly torn but she took my into the changing room away from everyone else and asked me about how I felt in each, which felt more like myself, and which fit the venue the most. This private moment for myself was really helpful and no other place had picked up on the Bridge needing a moment to herself. At the end of the day her energy was so fun to be around and made it such an enjoyable experience.

Words can‘t fully express how WONDERFUL of an experience I had with Love Couture and my bridal stylist India! The studio is beautiful and unique, warm and welcoming! This was my first and only needed shop to say YES TO THE DRESS. My Bridal Stylist India made our experience truly memorable. She has a bubbly personally and kind heart. She dedicated time to ask questions and made me feel comfortable and beautiful. The fairly tail ending is not only did we find my sparkly dream wedding dress but, the price was unbeatable and significantly less than I would have ever imagined!

Words cannot describe how happy I was with my appointment. I scheduled a VIP appointment and Lalique was my stylist. I am a nervous, full figured bride who had a past experience that was not so great. Lalique and the entire team including India and Ronika were amazing. I felt so comfortable and we had so much fun. The attention to detail was fantastic and it was easy for me to leave with the dress I was dreaming of. I cannot wait until my big day with my fantastic dress.

I just wanted to say what an incredible experience Love Couture has to offer. I went to two dress shops before this one (3rd times a charm) and consider myself an extremely picky person. I was feeling discouraged about finding a dress that felt like me. Our consultant Lauren greeted me and my entourage with hugs and great energy. She listened to me and was an advocate in my dress shopping. We ultimately selected a stunning Anne Barge gown and I literally cannot wait to pick it up and wear it on my big day. Thank you Love Couture!!! ?

I had a wonderful experience at Love Couture bridal, especially working with India! She was welcoming, knowledgeable, respectful of budget, transparent about prices, and phenomenal at pulling dresses to fit my style. I thought trying on gowns would be an awkward experience but India made it feel so comfortable and I had a ton of fun. I felt good in every gown she pulled and felt comfortable to give feedback, which she then applied when picking the next dress! I went to other bridal appointments and found myself comparing the experiences to my appointment with India. Can’t recommend her enough:)
