“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.”
“Jackie and her team truly made my winter wedding dreams come true! From the moment I met Jackie, I knew she was the one who could bring my vision to life. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, and then she and her team worked tirelessly to exceed my expectations. They not only executed my vision flawlessly but also added their own creative touches that elevated everything to a whole new level.The consultation process was thorough and detailed. Jackie took the time to understand my style and preferences, and she provided valuable suggestions and recommendations. She and her team were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had. They were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. The floral arrangements were stunning, the table settings were elegant, and the cake was a work of art. I received so many compliments from my guests, who were impressed by the attention to detail and the beauty of everything.Jackie and her team truly do it all. They handled everything from the floral arrangements to the cake to the table settings, and they did it with grace and professionalism. They even coordinated with other vendors to ensure that everything ran smoothly.I would highly recommend Jackie and her team to any future brides. They are experienced professionals who can make your wedding dreams come alive. They will take your vision and make it even better.”

“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Brooke’s was AMAZING. They were so helpful in gown selection and helping me find something gorgeous that fits me and my budget. The consultant was kind and supportive of everything I was feeling and helping me find what I didn’t even know I was looking for. So glad I went to this bridal boutique!”
“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 don’t leave a lot of reviews but this place is worth one! This place may seem small but the staff have large hearts. Their selection is amazing, well made, and truly deserves the title boutique. I truly wanted to to yes to one of the amazing dresses that only seemed to get better, but I couldn’t without having the chance to show my mother. I didn’t want to spoil my future fiancés (he pulled a ring from the safe) plans to ask my parents shortly so I perhaps the dress I wanted will be there when the time is right and it will be meant to be!”
“I went to Zoya’s with my best friend to watch her try on wedding dresses. This was the 7th store we went to and we had the most incredible experience. Zoya was so knowledgeable, helpful and really cared about our experience and helping my friend find the perfect dress. I wish I had gone here when I was looking for a wedding dress! From start to finish the best experience and highly recommend stopping in and seeing the gorgeous selection that she has to offer!!”
“This review is especially for Farah. I had no idea what to expect coming into a wedding gown search. This was my first stop in my shopping and after 1 hour, I was walking out with the dress. Farah is a rare, beautiful soul who accommodates what each particular bride needs. I probably could have kept searching but she helped me to find everything I wanted within a budget. She helped me to surprise myself. I would recommend her to any other bride. This is truly her calling. Thank you Farah.”
“Najoua knows her craft and is awesome! She was excited to assist in my dress selection She asked if I had any dresses in mind I replied “no” just to see her ideas. She did not disappoint with her picks, I love them all! Im so glad that I tried on different styles and lengths. She knew the first dress was going to be my final and she accessoried it beautifully and within my budget. Thank you Najoua for loving what you do. I had the best experience!!!!”
“I am quite late in writing a review, but was reminded yesterday just how wonderful the Befitted team is. Not only were they incredibly kind in the entire tailoring process, they also helped make a last minute adjustment literally days before I had to leave for my wedding week out of state. They helped me figure out what undergarments best suited my dress and offered a wealth of knowledge for proper dress care. I felt well cared for and I am so grateful for their support!”
“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!”
“Mina is great! It is very hard to find ao dai on the East Coast and thankfully Em Elite is able to provide services to the area. Not only are the ao dai affordable (dresses in Cali were double, if not triple the price!), but Mina is very easy to work with. We had some back and forth with the design and the quality, but it was easy to talk through everything and she addressed all of my concerns, leaving me with a great final product.
She also offers other services for tea ceremonies (hair/makeup, catering, etc.). I didn't use any of these but I do regret it. I wish I would have left it in her hands, but in the end, I can say the one thing I was not stressed out about on the day of the tea ceremony was my ao dai. I will say the hat was poorly fit and it was constantly falling off my head. I don't think my measurements were taken for that, so I would advise future brides to watch out for the hat but with regards to the ao dai, again, it was overall a good experience. Thanks, Mina! I'm excited to come back one day to get an ao dai for tet.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Working with Sage Bridal was a dream! I found a beautiful Lillian West gown at a sample sale there. Christen and her team were able to resize the straps and sides for me so that it fit like a glove. She was very communicative and flexible about fitting times, and I got my dress back in plenty of time to spare. At my final fitting, seams on the dress caused me to break out in a rash, but she was able to work her magic so that on the day of my wedding I had no issues at all, and it was actually so comfy it felt like pajamas! Cannot recommend this team enough!”

“Customer top notch! I purchased some balloons for my daughter 17th bday and when to get my car to pull the balloons in and the employee who helped me noticed one of the balloon was deflating and she replaced it.”
“I tried on wedding dresses with Joh Ná and she was fantastic. She really made my experience fun - she was super down to earth, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about everything. Highly recommend her if you’re looking for dresses!!”
“I cannot express how delighted I am with the personalized service we received at this bridal fitting shop from AJ and Miss Jenny.From the moment we booked our appointment, we knew we were in good hands. The shop operates strictly by appointment, which ensured that we had the full attention of the staff during our visit.My daughter had been stressing about finding the perfect wedding dress, but as soon as we stepped into the shop, she felt at ease. The staff listened attentively to her preferences and style, and they truly went above and beyond to help her find the dress of her dreams.Not only did they have a fantastic selection of dresses, but they also provided valuable advice and expertise throughout the entire process. They were patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure my daughter felt beautiful and confident on her special day.In the end, my daughter found the perfect wedding dress.”
“Any words I can share on my bridal experience at this Anthropologie location would not be enough to convey the magical moment I lived during my first-ever bridal appointment with Allison and Marelle.Let me start by saying that the prospect of dress shopping without some of the most important people in my life present made me nervous and sad, until I had my bridal appointment with the BHLDN team on M street.From the very first moment I walked into my appointment in November 2023, they made me feel welcome, special, and one of a kind. They helped guide me toward dress styles I had not even thought about and solidified my decision about the overall shape and style I wanted.I ultimately ended up going with a different dress at another store and I have regretted that decision since. Please don't hesitate to go here for your dress.Thank you for making this experience an unforgettable one :)”
“White Swan Bridal boutique’s caring owner Anna and her fabulous team of seamstresses are very special! Their service, talent, and expertise are top notch. They are committed to excellence in finding your perfect new gown or they can lovingly restore your treasured vintage wedding gown.Our two daughters got married within seven months of each other. Thus, we have visited most of the wedding salons in the DC area. I can honestly say that our experience at White Swan Bridal Boutique was absolutely the best! They truly work their hardest to do everything they can to deliver exactly what the bride hopes to have. One daughter’s dress required a bustle that was elegant and had tailored lines. None of the traditional bustles looked right. Anna’s mother, who started White Swan, had invented a unique bustle that worked perfectly for this type of dress. It truly completed and complimented the wedding gown’s design! If I could have, I would have given Anna, Mya, & Natalia 10 stars. White Swan Bridal is who you want on your wedding team.**After the wedding is over, they also provide careful gown cleaning and preservation for a good price!”
“I had the best experience at Carines bridal any bride could ask for! From the minute we walked into the store the first time, to the time they had my dress ready for me; it was all so professional and seamless and very stress free. The tailoring was flawless and I felt like a princess on my wedding day! They even custom made my veil 2 weeks before the wedding as I forgot to order it earlier ; but they were able to accommodate it last minute!”
“Thank you to Karlynda who helped us place our order for bridesmaids dresses remotely/virtually and with expedited shipping for our wedding timeline! She was incredibly helpful and responsive. Thank you!”
“I followed my sister to insadong hanbok to find a hanbok for her daughter’s wedding. I was amazed by how beautiful the hanbok was and there were many different types of hanbok. The owner, Kyung is so creative, detailed and talented and so accommodating. She is truly a great artist who cares about her customers and what is best for them. My sister looked so beautiful and simply stunning. She selected two - one for the wedding ceremony and a bolero for the evening event. The bolero was a combination of prettiness and charming. Thanks kyung! ? ? ?”
