Visiting Vivid last weekend was my first time in a bridal shop since I was searching for my own…read morewedding dress, about 5 years ago. Vivid is a beautiful shop and I had a great time watching my friend try on dresses. All the dresses she tried were beautiful, and there were more on the racks that I would've liked to see on someone! The dresses are designer and therefore you try on what they have on the rack, but your size is then ordered for you and alterations take place after that, so make sure to give yourself time, if you choose a dress at a shop like this (at least 6 months probably). Susanna, the shop owner was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable while helping my friend get the dresses on and in guiding her to other dresses that she might like. We narrowed it down to two of my friend's favorite and Susanna never rushed us or made us feel like we needed to hurry up and decide, or that we needed to decide on one of her dresses at all. My friend decided to walk away to think about it (and we had another appointment the other side of town in a little bit), but ended up returning that afternoon to Vivid to get her super pretty, flattering and cool wedding dress for her big day in December! Would recommend Vivid for all local/regional brides shopping for a dress; there seemed to be something for everyone, and I happened to notice that they carry plus size dresses, too!

I want to start by complimenting Tiffanie, she was my consultant the day I chose my dress and she…read morewas amazing. However, everything afterward went down hill. I was told the dress would take 6 months to come in. At the 6 month mark, I called to check on my dress. They informed me that the dress was never properly ordered through the designer and that the dress I ordered would not come in. Thankfully, the sample was still there and they told me I could take that because any ordered dress would not make it in time for the wedding. The sample is not the size I ordered, and had a fake tan stain on it (thankfully it came out). They offered to send the dress to a cleaner in New York before giving it to me, but I refused it due to the tight time constraints now in place with needed additional alterations with not having the correct size. The cleaning is a predicted 3-4 additional weeks, when I am only 3.5 months away from the wedding. When I asked how this occurred, they were unsure and that it was an oversight that can happen. I was repeatedly told that it was a good thing I called, because this error was not caught. No one at the business was checking in on the order that had been placed 6 months prior, even though my wedding planner called at the 4 month mark and they simply stated that it was not in and did not look into it any further. I asked for a discount or refund of some sort because I did not receive the dress I ordered, I received a dress that is not the correct size and is off the rack. They said no, since I was able to at least leave with a dress, the only refund is the $100 shipping fee. I asked if they could cover the cost of the additional alterations since the dress is not the size I ordered, they said no. The owner offered to cover my gown preservation after the wedding, but I no longer trust them with any logistics, with such an important piece, and will not be taking that offer. If you want the dress you ordered to come in, I would not recommend this shop.

Went to LaBella Bridal Boutique in search of a Mother of the Bride dress. I had been to many other…read morebridal shops trying to find the perfect dress for my daughter's wedding. When I walked in and Ellalyne was incredibly friendly and attentive. Her assistant Nora was just as good. They made me feel special, the attention and respect they give you is amazing. She was very honest and when she thought something didn't look good she would tell me. When I found my dress,Ellalyne was so awesome in showing me some of the alterations that can be done to the dress. I am overweight and very concious of how I look, don't like my arms and she showed me that the shawl that comes with the dress can actually be used to attach some flutter sleeves to the dress. If you are looking for a dress for a special occassion this is the place to go. They will treat you like you are royalty. Love the shop, Ellalyne and Nora. They were professional, courteous and friendly. They helped me feel beautiful and that I will look incredible for my daughter's wedding. THANK YOU Ellalyne and Nora.

I loved the conversation I had with Towanna about what I envisioned, the type of personality I have and what type of feeling I wanted to have wearing the dress. I didnt show her any pictures, I allowed her to present what she thought may work based on my body type and the conversation. I walked out with a dress, in budget that makes me look amazing. I would recommend anyone I hear that is getting married to go to the shop. Call for the appointment today. You wont be disappointed.

Lots of sales people to help and answer questions. Lots of dressing rooms, we had no wait, although they're a little tight especially if you've got lots of puffy gowns. Prices vary according to style but we found them comparable to department store pricing. All of the tags are stamped no returns, so be sure before you buy. Very convenient location in Potomac Mills with plenty of onsite parking.

I was shopping for an evening gown for a military ball and initially selected 4 gowns to try on, which sadly none of them worked for me. Being at a gown shop like this, you typically have someone assisting, providing additional options, etc. of which I truly didn't experience at this shop just yet. Before leaving, I find two more dresses to try and it really wasn't until then that I had the amazing help from Sefika. She took time to learn what I was shopping for, recognized my style, helped 100% to fit me for each gown, & provided honest feedback. Sefika quickly offered a few more gowns as I changed between trying them on & because of her help, I found the gown I was looking for! If it wasn't for her, I would have left empty handed & disappointed. Lastly, I felt the price point was very reasonable & there's something for every budget. Thank you again, Sefika, I love my gown and can't wait to spend a wonderful evening alongside my husband! I'll be back for sure :)

I scheduled an appointment on their website, roughly told them my daughter size. When we got to our…read moreappointment the two ladies acted startled as if they were in shock they had an appointment. I told the woman my daughter size, she brings out a size 16 no where near my daughter size. Made comments how my daughter disguises her size. Insinuating she thought my daughter was overweight but now sees she not. My daughter wore sweat pants and a big shirt to go to the appointment. This comment was while tightening the back of the dress on my daughter. They only had size 2-4 and had no other sizes like 6,8, 10 or 12. They only carry small sizes for people to try on. The woman brought out two dresses that were a size 16 and that was the only dress my daughter could try on. The dresses was not the style she was going for at all. They kept saying to look at the catalog and if she likes a dress we can measure her. I had very high hopes for this boutique because they really do know how to promote on social media. Promote the truth that you don't carry a lot of other sizes and you don't have all the dresses in the boutique and you will show a catalog to customers instead. Also the rude comments about weight needs to stop! Talk to your employees about that.

The remaining workers were fine for a week I returned, but for later weeks that I came things spiralled out of control they started making excuses for the dama dress I chose originally and I had to choose another one, they looked basic and not the champagne color I was going for. We called them 3 days before to have my quince dress steamed for sunday and when I went to go pick it up they had not steamed it yet, but I guess my photoshoot didn't end up in a major disaster. Currently I am stressed and anxious due to the fact if everything is going to turn out well with my court and myself. I'll keep updating to give you guys a proper review on this place to make sure you get a good experience at other places other than this place.

We ordered shoes and two weeks later they decided it is time to let us know they don't carry that style anymore. The actual reason they even let us know was because we asked about them. I doubt they would of told us. Like come on people get it together!!!!

Absolutely adore Tang! She is masterful and has so much talent…read more She taught my matron of honor and I so many tips and skills to putting on and taking off my dress, as well as how to walk up and down stairs and bustle. At the first appt for alterations, she let me tell her what I thought needed to be fixed first before offering her suggestions. She did this bc something she might see as an issue might not even bother me. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm very happy with the outcome. She made me feel like a queen in my dress and I cannot wait to show it off on my wedding day. *Parking: There's plenty of parking out front, and more in the lot across front the store. It is a very busy lot, and sometimes drivers from the Starbucks drive through gets stuck trying to leave. Id recommend that you park closer to the Bonchon. **Will post pictures of before and after, but AFTER my wedding in May!
