Bridal Shops in Alexandria, VA

“5 stars, exceptional service, love and patience. When looking for a place to buy the dress of your dreams, let’s just say, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Sophi was phenomenal and an absolute pleasure to work with. She had the most genuine spirit and is the perfect person to help you find what you’re looking for. Although Elegance by Roya is a BUSINESS, they treat you like FAMILY.”

“I didn’t end up getting my dress from Ellie’s but I had a great experience there! I booked the no frills appointment because it was my first time dress shopping and I had no idea what I wanted and I didn’t want to feel pressured. I went on a weekday so the weren’t too busy and I definitely received 5 star service. The attendant was so sweet and helpful, and took the time to pull so many dresses for me! She was very patient and kind. The dresses were beautiful! Would highly recommend! If I hadn’t found my dress at the second store I went to, I was highly considering booking another appointment at Ellie’s to keep looking.”

“Wonderful experience having my dress tailored here. The tulle was delicate and hard to work with and they still were able to make it fit in all the right places and cinched the tulle around the waist perfectly to keep it from puffing. The bustle was also a life saver because it had rained the morning of my wedding to the train was very heavy to walk around with after getting soaked. Overall, they were super lovely and really happy with the dress.”

“This is hands-down the best place to buy a wedding dress! I visited multiple places in the area when looking for wedding dresses and this boutique was by far the best. They have a great selection of designer dresses, and we found the prices very fair. But most of all I appreciated how attentive and kind they are - I felt like a princess whenever I went to their boutique! And the tailoring service they have is absolutely spectacular - the tailors work wonders! I’ve sent all my friends to this boutique and recommend it to everyone. Thank you, Global Bridal!”

“We were visiting the area and made a purchase at this store. At least an hour later we were sitting outside having something to eat. Amanda from the shop found us and said she was looking for us as she overcharged us. Her next stop was going to go to our hotel to find us. What a thoughtful and wonderful person! Amanda said she didn’t want us to have a bitter memory of Alexandria! Thank-you Amanda!”

“The team at Anna's Bridal is great! and it is the only store with dresses from Rosa Clara in the area. As a Spaniard, I really wanted a dress made by a Spanish designer and I couldn't wait for my first appointment day to come. From the moment I walked into my first appointment, AJ had dresses in the front of every rack that were similar to the ones I submitted in the form, and I was also allowed to look at every rack to see if there was another dress I liked. They have a beautiful collection of Rosa Clara dresses and other brands. They have more elegant and higher quality gowns than other bridal stores I visited in the DMV area. AJ took the time to carefully pin every dress I tried on so that I could get a better idea of how the dress would look in my size. AJ was also very respectful of my privacy and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My first appointment took longer than an hour and AJ stayed a bit after closing time so I could try on the dresses. I ended up finding my wedding dress that day!! Because my appointment was only a couple of months before the wedding, alterations started pretty quickly and working with AJ and Ms Jenny was wonderful. We had to adjust the waist, bring the back up, and make sleeves for the dress, and Ms Jenny did such a wonderful job with the alterations. I am very happy with how my dress turned out and I highly recommend Anna's Bridal!!”

“I visited the store on 12/8/25 to place a birthday order for balloons. Javonna B. assisted me with my order and also addressed my general inquiries. She was extremely courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I truly appreciated the exceptional customer service I received. Unfortunately, in the times we now live in, you can't even receive BASIC customer service when that should be the standard, not the exception. As for the retailers, Big-box stores, etc., they just don't seem to care. I'll definitely revisit this location and make future purchases. Thanks for caring and KUDOS to Javonna B!!”

“I had a fabulous experience with everyone at this shop. I needed custom sleeves to be added to the dress and the seamstress did a fantastic job creating them. Gladys is the sweetest person.”
