I did not end up finding my dress at Lovely Bride but still had an excellent experience and would highly recommend it. Lovely Bride was the second bridal shop I visited while I was still figuring out what kind of dress I liked. The consultant who helped us, Elizabeth, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and pulled a good range of dresses which really helped me get a better feel for what silhouettes and styles worked for me/didn't work for me.

I am so thrilled to have purchased my wedding dress from Lovely Bride in Georgetown. It was only the second store I even looked for wedding dresses! Lead Stylist Elizabeth Reilly and the rest of the team truly made it the experience of my dreams from start to finish! The store itself is gorgeous and makes for a wonderful and memorable afternoon with whoever you bring along. My fiancé had dropped off treats and wine and Elizabeth had no problem accommodating him and allowing us to drink/eat in designated spaces during my appointment. Elizabeth got my style right away and I had so much fun trying on different dress options, as well as veils and even some beautiful opera gloves. Towards the end of the appointment when we still hadn't found "the one", Elizabeth mentioned they had just received a shipment from a new designer that was actually two weeks ahead of time. She thought one of the dresses might be just what I was looking for and rushed in the back to help her manager open the package! The second I put it on, I knew it was going to be my wedding dress. I have never seen such a beautiful fabric or perfect design - even with tissue paper still tacked around the bottom!!!When my maid of honor was in town just a few days later, I knew I had to see if Elizabeth could squeeze us in to try on the dress again - despite the team saying they would need a few weeks to receive the new designer's size chart. Within a couple minutes of texting, Elizabeth had us booked with a full appointment block during my MOH's visit. When I came out wearing the dress and both my parents, maid of honor, AND Elizabeth were teary-eyed, I knew my decision was made! I can't thank you all enough for the outstanding service we received. From the first appointment at Lovely Bride it all felt like it was meant to be, which is really all you can ask for!

I had such an amazing experience at Lovely Bride D.C. this last December. The boutique is adorable, smells delicious and the atmosphere is exactly what I had hoped for. Erin Strong-Williams helped me pick two perfect gowns. Her expertise and calm demeanor are the perfect antidote to a nerve riddled Bride To Be. Thank you!

I wanted to visit Lovely Bride from the moment I heard about them. I just knew it was my bridal shop and I knew I would find my dress with them. I knew from some previous bridal shop experiences that I wanted a dress by Made With Love. I had already fell in love with two/three styles and was eager to try on more and maybe find something that was a perfect balance of all the aspects of the dresses that I loved. When I saw that Lovely Bride was having a Made With Love trunk show, I wanted to scream with excitement. Unfortunately, as soon as I had found out, upon attempting to book an appointment online, I realized that they had no more appointments available during the week of the trunk show. I was devastated. So, I called the shop directly and asked if it was possible at all to be put on a waitlist or anything that would allow me a chance to go to the trunk show and I explained how badly I wanted to be able to be there. The stylist I spoke with over the phone excitedly told me that she had a couple appointments that she could offer me and of course, I accepted.I had my appointment mid November and my aunt accompanied me. Like I said, this wasn't my first time visiting a bridal shop and I pretty much knew exactly what I wanted to try on and what I was ultimately looking for. Danielle, the manager, was my stylist for my appointment and she was AMAZING. She made me feel at home, she gave me her honest thoughts and she was also straight-forward with me. I felt very comfortable at Lovely Bride and with Danielle as my stylist. The best part, I ultimately found my dress. Their dresses are a little pricier than they would have been closer to my home in Richmond, but the experience made it worth it for me. With the trunk sale going on, I also received a special discount, which I only found out about when I went to "check out." That was just a bonus!All in all, I strongly recommend Lovely Bride. Skip the other shops, and just book an appointment with them. You know you want to and you won't regret it!
