“We adored our experience with Anthony. From the first consultation with us, he was kind, informative and took the time to explain everything we needed to know. He guided us through the process and our budget, and helped pick out the best quality ring he could find. My fiancée cannot stop gushing about her ring, and we will guide anyone we can to Protea for their engagement ring experience.”
“I truly enjoyed my experience at Bridal Room. Though I ultimately got my dress from somewhere else, Madeline made every step of this experience amazing. From texting me ahead of time, to letting me try on like 10 dresses, I felt so special. Madeline was attentive, sweet, and understanding of all my wants. I’d highly recommend any brides who are on the hunt for their dream dress stop here!”

“The store arrangements of Gowns was perfect. I was able to go down alleys with ease. The Representative was pleasant , very patient and helpful. The quailty and prices of the Gowns were within my range.”
“I came to Ellie's in February with my Mom and two friends to go wedding dress shopping, and had such a great time. This was the third and final stop on our wedding dress tour, so by the time we arrived I really knew what I was looking for. The stylist took into consideration pictures and comments about unsuccessful dresses I had tried on elsewhere, and pulled three or four dresses that were exactly what I was looking for but hadn't yet found. I was so excited to finally go pick up my dress, and truly wish I could wear it every day. They were also communicative throughout the ordering process, which was helpful because I had to travel farther to pick it up.
Note: I did not have it altered at Ellie's, as I live in Richmond.”
“My son was arriving from NYC, and he needed a tuxedo urgently. Despite a train delay, Ed went above and beyond to help us. He provided top-notch service, ensuring my son looked incredible in a perfectly fitted tuxedo, all in about 1.5 hours! My son left the store looking amazing, even with the proper tuxedo shoes! Returning the next day to drop it off was easy and hassle-free. Fantastic service—couldn’t be happier with the experience!”
“Finding my wedding dress was a journey, I went to dress stores all over the country and really struggled to find the one, in fact I started to question if there really was a ‘one’ or if that was just a myth and I should settle on something ‘nice’ because we were down to 6 months before the wedding. I wanted something a unique but still bridal and it felt impossible to find, until I came here. When I came for my appointment, I literally spotted my dress in the window, and when I tried it on I knew it was ‘the one.’ But what’s even more important than the great inventory is the people.
As much as I loved the dress, there was quite a lot of work I wanted done to make it best fit my style and body. I did not live in DC when I bought my dress here, and had to make the tough decision of finding a tailor at home or traveling across the country back to DC for alterations, but I fell so in love with Farah at my appointment that she was the only person I trusted with my dress.
Farah is a dream. We did a lot of work to my dress on a short timeline, there is a leap of faith to changing something that expensive but Farah understood my vision and executed it to PERFECTION. She is thoughtful, kind, patient and went above and beyond at every step. She answered every wild question I had from traveling to Italy with the dress, to figuring out the right bra situation and she solved every one of them with grace.
Farah is the fairy godmother of wedding dresses and if you have a chance to work with her you are so so lucky.”
“These ladies are in a class of their own in terms of customer service. I worked with Annie and Kellita across 2 visits. The whole team worked together and coordinated for weeks to help me pull off a secret grand reveal for my mom and future mother in law and they did this with no expectation of an additional sale (although I did end up buying some accessories). The store is welcoming, elegant and fairly priced. They have a wide selection of amazing dresses, the staff is knowledgeable and incredibly patient with both you as the bride and your guests. I will be going back for a 3rd visit to shop for MoB & MoG outfits! I will forever recommend Brooke's Bridal to everyone I know.”

“From the moment my sister and I stepped into Elegance by Roya, we were blown away by the customer service! My sister said Yes to two dresses and I said Yes to the dress to my second dress! Shahin did an amazing job with my sister’s dresses! She went above and beyond ensuring the dresses were perfection for my sister, so patient, professional, kind and was the best to work with! Thank you so much Shahin and the entire team at Elegance by Roya!”
“Highly recommend bridal global studio for dresses and alterations. I bought both my gowns from them (ceremony and reception) and absolutely loved them. The entire team there is so nice, accommodating, and flexible. It was honestly such a relief to work with a business that is reliable and easy to communicate with in the midst of stressful planning. Big thank you to Serki, Vicky, Marie and the entre global bridal team for making my day so beautiful!”
“Talk about a master tailor! I found Xinyi just in time to make alternations to my wedding dress … she could not be nicer and the work was impeccable. I have been back several times. Could not recommend more highly!”
“Couldn’t have had my dream wedding without Wedding Story!!! I loved working with Jackie and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. She catered to all my requests and helped carry out my envisioned style so perfectly. I appreciate how professional and thorough she is in planning, which helped alleviate a lot of stress and allowed me to actually enjoy my engagement period and also the wedding day. I would recommend Wedding Story to all my friends and family!”
“Perfect fit on my dress and they also helped with dry cleaning and preservation after! Had a complicated lace dress but they handled it masterfully and you couldn't even tell it was cut or modified. Opened the box after cleaning and it looked as beautiful as it fit!”
“The team at Anna's Bridal was incredible to work with on the lead up to our big day. Their selection of dresses was absolutely gorgeous and there were so many style options to choose from! They shared their guidance and expertise, and added extra touches like buttons and sleeves to the dress I picked. Thank you for helping me feel so beautiful in the dress I chose! A pleasure working with this team, would recommend to anyone!”
“Gracey at Lovely Bride is the best and helped me find the perfect dress for me. She was extremely supportive, had great energy, and she was patient with me when I changed my mind about styles. The dress I wanted they didn’t have in the DC store so Gracey arranged for the dress to be loaned in from the New York store which I tried on and loved and bought that day. I recommend Gracey and Lovely Bride!”
“This place was recommended to me to get a second hand wedding dress and I was pleasantly surprised by not only their choices but by their amazing service. They had so many options for different sizes and styles. They listened to what I wanted and helped me not only find options but ultimately decide on which dress to get and I couldn't be happier with my choice. I got a veil to go with it as well and everything was so affordable! Definitely would recommend to any new bride.”
“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 my wedding dress customized by Insadong Hanbok, and they exceeded my expectations. Since my wedding was in Canada, I was only able to do the measurements in-store and didn’t get to see the final dress until it was shipped. They made the entire process stress-free, shipped the dress on time, and made sure that every detail was perfect. Thanks to Insadong Hanbok, I was able to have the wedding of my dreams!”
“Jas is absolutely one of a kind. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my wedding dress experience so far. She has made me feel so comfortable and confident every time I come in for my dress fitting. I have no doubt that my wedding dress will be everything I have dreamed of because of Jas. Highly recommend!!!”
“Kelly was very very knowledgeable and supportive. She truly is a pro! Would absolutely recommend this location and experience for anyone looking for wedding dresses. Kelly gave us some water and champagne, too. Thank you!!”

“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!”
“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!”

“Just when I thought my wedding dress couldn't be any more perfect! The green and blue team did their magic!! Couldn't be more thankful for making my wedding dress fit perfectly! And their new space is so nice!!”
“A lovely boutique with an amazing selection of high-quality linens, lingerie, pajamas, soaps, cute gifts, and more! Would definitely recommend visiting for any household or gift-giving needs. Service is great and the staff are all very knowledgable and can help you find exactly what you're looking for to suit your tastes.”
“I’m so happy that I found my dress at Sage bridal! They were recommended by a friend (as well as Reddit). After visiting another bridal dress boutique, I ended up finding my dress at Sage Bridal. I went in wanting one style, but with the help of the Sage team Christen (sp?), I came out with a Lillian West dress which I never dreamed of wearing because I thought it would be out of my budget. The cost of the dress, small alterations and bustle together ended up being within reason and within my budget! The try-on dress fit like a glove, but was a little long so she recommended to order a petite size and wearing platform heels to avoid the extra cost of hemming. It worked like a charm and I got so many compliments on the dress!
Sage Bridal is a gem. They were responsive, kind, honest and efficient. Scheduling appointments was easy (granted I tried to schedule appointments well in advance and to have it at least 2 weeks before the wedding which they graciously accommodated). The boutique was personalized and so sweet. Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and helping me feel so beautiful on my special day!”

“The people are so much fun! Vanessa was too hilarious and her friends were such pleasant young ladies! Extra helpful! Big personalities. The management should promote all three young ladies. I was there on June 29th!”
“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!!”
“Exceptional Service from Jennifer - Feedback on Return Policy
I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience at Anthropologie, particularly highlighting the outstanding service I received from Jennifer, located in Georgetown.
After a disappointing experience at the Bethesda and Fairfax locations, where staff refused to assist me with returning a lilac taper candle set of 2 without a receipt, I was feeling quite frustrated. Despite explaining that I had purchased the item from the Georgetown location just a week prior and requesting that they call for my receipt number, I was met with resistance and no resolution.
However, when I returned to the Georgetown store, Jennifer went above and beyond to help me. She not only located my receipt but also confirmed that the other locations had the capability to retrieve receipt numbers from their store. While she mentioned it would take some extra time, it was reassuring to know that a solution was possible.
Jennifer's exceptional customer service made a significant difference in my experience. She was friendly, patient, and truly exemplified what excellent customer care should be. I genuinely appreciate her efforts and will remember the positive interactions I had with her - I think it would add value to Anthropologie if all staff was trained by Jennifer.
In addition to recognizing Jennifer's exemplary service, I would like to suggest that Anthropologie consider updating its return policy. A 30 day return window for customers without receipts would be more accommodating, especially when it's clear that the product has not been used. Additionally, implementing a system for customers to select receipt emails or texts upon purchase, particularly for transactions involving gift cards, would be a helpful improvement. This would prevent situations like mine, where my gift card was discarded after use.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I hope it can contribute to enhancing the customer experience at Anthropologie.
Best regards,
Ms. Price”
“I truly cannot express my gratitude enough for Zoya’s. This was the first and only place my parents and I looked for dresses, and the very first dress I tried on was the one. From the moment we walked in, every woman in the boutique was personable and professional. They made me feel so comfortable and celebrated throughout the entire process.
I worked specifically with Olivia, and she is simply amazing. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making each bride feel special and seen. Olivia turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into something that felt like a fairytale. I truly believe she is the reason I loved this process as much as I did.
I also purchased and had my dress tailored at Atelier, and Rosanna, the seamstress, is unbelievably talented. She is extremely detail-oriented and meticulous in her work. My dress fits like a glove thanks to her.
From the first appointment to the final fitting, the entire team made this experience unforgettable. I am so grateful for them. I cannot wait to wear my dress on my wedding day!”
