I booked an appointment by emailing them. So far, I've gone twice. My first experience was with just my mom. My stylist was Ruth and she was incredible. Since it was my first experience, I wasn't sure what I was looking for exactly, but I had an idea that I liked whimsical and picked a few dresses from their website. They are extremely professional and helpful here. Ruth had one rack with the dresses I requested and walked me through the whole process. She told me which racks she think I'd like based off my taste and let me look through every dress. From there she helped me into the gowns and took the time to write down my favorites. The process was so easy and fun. My mom and I were so happy. There is a reason this place is constantly making it on Richmond's top wedding dresses places. Not only are the dresses gorgeous, but the shop's interior design is amazing. I loved all the delicious natural lighting that came into the space as well as the aesthetic. The dresses range from $1,500 to $4,500. I narrowed it down to five my first visit. Since I was unclear on what I loved and overthinking it, Ruth helped me book another appointment. On my second visit, I brought two of my closest friends as well as my mom. Christine, the co-owner daughter part of the duo was my stylist. She was funny and down-to-earth. I was able to narrow it down to two dresses after this experience. Every dress here is gorgeous, it's one of those places that whatever you put on will look incredible. I'm happy I was able to return because after sleeping on it, I was able to think more clearly about what I liked and didn't like. They're beyond professional here and really supportive during your wedding shop journey. I highly recommend coming here.

With us still being new to the area we went to Fredericksburg and stafford and back down again . Looking at several stores .

We searched and searched until we found 3 dresses she absolutely loved !! We couldn't decide so we grabbed all three!! The price $30-$50 , you couldn't beat it !

Rachel & everyone at Blue Sage Bridal made my wedding dress shopping experience AMAZING…read more I was very nervous because I don't like shopping for clothes. I can be very self-conscious and my own worst critic. Rachel made sure every step of the way I was comfortable, and I felt confident. I was able to find my dream dress, and I fell in love with it! My mom and sister were with me and it was just a perfect (and quick!) experience Also - if you go there please try this dress on! It was absolutely gorgeous, but it just didn't fit my venue vibes!

I had the absolute best experience here with Quincy. I made a first time dress appointment online…read more I brought my mom and mother-in-law. There was tons of gorgeous natural lighting. There are two fitting rooms next to each other, but separated by a room divider. Each fitting room was spacious and had a little stage with couches surrounding them. I had a fantastic experience. I filled out a form about what I was looking for beforehand. Quincy pulled out some dresses she thought I'd like and really did an amazing job. She was kind, patient, and extremely helpful. I tried on a lot of beautiful dresses all within my budget which I loved. She was so transparent about pricing and which dresses were made to order. Although I haven't officially bought a dress yet, I really keep daydreaming about one specific one I fell in love with here. I highly recommend visiting Blue Sage Bridal for your wedding dress needs.

Which is new for me, as I'm a new cancer survivor. When I went to pick up my dress, EXTREMELY excited, it was too small, I was told it was an easy fix, they could just put in a corset, which would change the dress. Disappointed, but seeing no other option, I took my dress to be altered, and they cannot put in a corset, they will have to change the whole dress! BTW.. 6in off! That's a huge difference! You need to either train your staff, to measure correctly, because as customers we put that faith and trust in you, or when YOUR TEAM MAKES A MISTAKE, you right it!

Long story short, I never went to stops 3 and 4 because I found "the one" at Tiffany's! I'm not a girly-girl, and I went in saying I didn't want anything "too fluffy, too poofy, too lacy, or too embellished." Not exactly the easiest task for a wedding dress salesperson. My consultant found a gorgeous dress that met all my wish-list items. The lights actually went off in the store as she was helping me into it - a true sign that this was it! I didn't expect to have "a moment," being the not-so-girly-girl that I am, but this dress brought me to tears. I can't wait to wear it in March!

Let me start this off by saying that I am not someone who writes a lot of reviews but I had such a…read morebad experience that I felt the need to warn any other brides from feeling as defeated in their bridal appointment as I did. My appointment was this past Saturday. My experience at this bridal store was horrible. When myself and my party entered, we were told to pull some dresses that we liked while we waited for my consultant. My consultant told my party to "calm down" with all the picking after they chose 3 dresses and never introduced herself to my family. My consultant at didn't seem like she was listening to any of my preferences. The situation seemed like she was choosing dresses that she liked. Throughout the appointment, she continued to pull dresses that were, over budget, the wrong material ( she kept pulling dresses with so much tulle) and overall not my style that we discussed. Every dress she pulled was either 6 sizes too large or 4 too small so I was unable to get an accurate depiction of what the dress was going to look like on myself. I am not a picky person but it truly was awful. Every critique I had about the dress, was followed by her saying that it could be fixed with a strap or removal of beads, or a completley changing the structure of the dress or some other very expensive alteration. While I did appreciate her trying to fix the problem, she never differentiated from the style of dress that she pulled ( that were huge, heavy and had about 15 layers of tulle). My consultant never helped me by adjusting any of the dresses, ( she also never helped me put any of them on either). She never helped fluff the train or hold it so I could walk. My future mother in law had me attempt to tuck the material between my legs to see what the dress could look like on her knees. Her reaction to my family having to help was was very aloof. She also didn't seem like she had a very good knowledge of the inventory of the store. She would leave me on the stage in a dress that was very uncomfortable for several minutes while looking for "just the dress" and return with the exact same style that i had told her I didn't want. I stated what I wanted several times to her. I didn't even leave the dressing room to show my party a few of the dresses and she would argue with me. The last and perhaps the largest issue I had was that all of the dresses either myself or my guests chose were continuously intentionally placed to the back of the rack to try on by her. When my mother and cousin moved them to the front, she moved them to the back again and seemed annoyed. When my mom asked " can we please see her in this dress?" after about the 9th dress that I didn't like , my mom was ignored and was given a sour attitude. This was my second bridal appointment ever trying on a wedding dresses and I can tell you that if I hadn't had such a positive experience at the shop i had been to earlier in the day, I would have been in tears and this would have ruined the bridal dress experience. I'm writing this review based off my terrible experience in the hopes that the shop management will read it and make some major changes in how they treat their customers.

She got an absolutely gorgeous ring from them. I decided to look at their Instagram and fell in love with their gorgeous jewelry. Fast forward in time and I fell head over heels for their seafoam compass kite ring. My partner used to make maps and we've traveled/grown a lot together in the years we've been together and I loved the symbolism the ring had for me. We set up an engagement ring appointment earlier this year to try on different rings and get my ring size. We spent an hour learning all about engagement rings and drooling at all the stunning designs. I fell in love with so many rings that afternoon. Lexi, the specialist who helped us, was absolutely incredible. Her knowledge and kindness made the special experience 1000x even more special. I was so giddy and excited. And I felt like she shared and encouraged my excitement. I went back one other time to show my mom the rings and she loved them too. My now fiancé had a good experience with Emily Warden Designs. Do know that they won't melt down metals, but they can use stones from other rings. We were given his grandmother's engagement ring and the center diamond of my ring is now that stone. I love having a piece of her with me with the gorgeous design. My fiancé had to place a custom order to use the center stone, but told me it was an easy process. They say it takes 4-8 weeks to make it and he got it in 5 I believe. We went to school in Miami, so he proposed to me at the riverwalk where we had our first kiss. I love my ring so much. I also love Richmond so much. It's beyond special to have my engagement ring from a local Richmond jeweler. I highly recommend visiting this gorgeous store for your jewelry needs. They offer earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and more.

Particularly for a potential groom selecting an engagement ring with very little experience or knowledge of jewelry, the shop and staff provide a comfortable environment that you don't always get at larger jewelry stores.
