I had the best experience at Garnish Boutique! I worked with Mia (the owner) and she was amazing -- super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole process stress-free. She was quick to respond over email when setting up my appointment and even sent a thoughtful reminder the day before. The boutique itself is beautiful, had tons of options, and thanks to Mia I said yes to the dress! Truly a 1200/10 experience -- I can't recommend Garnish enough! ps. the entrance is in the upper level read more

I went to several bridal boutiques, but my experience at Garnish was 100% the best. When I walked in, I just had that magical feeling that I would find my dress here - and indeed I did! I am, historically, a very indecisive person. I came in after appointments at other salons and was feeling confused about what I really wanted. Garnish's systematic process helped me figure out what I actually envisioned. What to expect: when you arrive, you wait outside and are asked to wash your hands before entering. This made me nervous that the salon would be very uptight/snooty. However, this was not the case. Mia greeted us warmly and I noticed that all the dresses were in such pristine condition-- maybe bc of the hand-washing. You start by exploring all the options, organized logically by style/sleeve/amount of detail, etc. and choosing 10-15 to try on. Then, based on what you like/don't like, Mia will choose other options. Mia would often direct me as to which dress I should try on next -- for example, I tried on a fitted dress, so she'd advise me to try on a ballgown next to compare. This made a huge difference in discerning what style I actually liked and helped the process feel less overwhelming. She even would give direction on how to stand or which mirror to look at to get the full effect of the dress - I loved this attention to detail. In terms of the collection... I truly loved every single dress here - it definitely fit within the style I wanted (elegant, modern, unique). Every gown I tried on felt special and I was often surprised they weren't more expensive given the high-fashion feel. But what really stood out was the amount of space and time Mia allowed us. First - I was the only bride. My mom and I had the whole place to ourselves to fully explore, gab, and discuss. Second, Mia often would go to the back, leaving privacy for us to honestly discuss dresses without feeling pressured to like something. When I had narrowed down to two dresses, Mia again went to the back and gave me space to call my dad/brother/aunt to get their opinions and share in the moment with them. The appointment was only for an hour - but we ended up being there for close to 2.5 -3 hours. And never did I feel that Mia was tired of us. As someone who will spend hours making a pros/cons list between two choices, the patience Mia gave me to pro/con every detail... I do not know if I would have ever chosen a dress without that. And the best part, I got my dress on sample sale! tldr; most beautiful dress selection I've seen in the DMV and the kind of patience and direction I needed from a bridal consultant! I had a magical time. read more

Visited this bridal boutique to do a first look at a few dresses. Making an appointment was very easy over the phone, with email reminders and confirmation leading up to the day of my appointment. The decor is simple beautiful! It feels cozy and also very chic. Covid procedures were in place with hand washing and gloves provided. They are limiting guest to 2 ppl in addition to the bride, which seems fair. Mia, also the owner, explained everything wonderfully. She was also very personable and knowledgeable in her field. She displayed extreme patience as I tried on several dresses--this was a first look and I was not 100% sure of the style I wanted. Mia also made suggestions for dressed and made sure to honor my price range along the way. I look forward to narrowing down my choices and returning for further consultations. read more

So I did end up finding my dress here, but I will keep this review very objective. Pros: Really beautiful store, well organized with very good selection. There's something here for everyone from a price point and style perspective. I felt that the owner Mia did a really good job of only showing me styles within my budget. Very much appreciated this and she had some great recs. The dress I ultimately chose was one she pulled for me based on what I was leaning towards. COVID protocol: Gave me gloves when I was picking out dresses. We had to wash our hands before entering, masks on the entire time but no temp check. It's not super crowded and I think they have 2 appointments at a time max. Cons: If get Mia as your stylist don't expect warm and fuzzies. She's very direct and efficient and not there to flatter you just to make the sale (which is fine, but I didn't feel like I was treated like a potential customer). Given that I don't live in MD and my wedding is far into the future I didn't feel like Mia took my purchasing intention seriously. I did not appreciate not being pushed into buying, but didn't feel overwhelmingly catered to either. Other thing that put me off was the fact that she didn't tell me the dress designer and name when I left (I didn't make the purchase that say, had to think about it and then went back for measuring a few weeks later). read more

Best bridal boutique! One of my friends purchased her wedding dress from Garnish and highly recommended a visit. I had an incredibly positive experience that was completely personalized. The boutique has a huge selection of dresses of all different styles and price points. Mia listened to me, guided me, and offered professional and creative direction. She was very attentive and was truly dedicated to helping me find the right dress. She asks questions about what you like and dislike about different styles and offers suggestions in an iterative fashion to fine tune the decision making process. Once you meet her, it's clear she is an expert that knows exactly how to help translate your ideas of the perfect wedding gown in to reality. I visited two other boutiques in DC and this was by far the best experience and selection. It's worth the drive from DC - and much more of a personal experience. Plus, Mia will have your dress shipped to you and works with an alterations specialist in NOVA to make things more convenient. read more

I can't recommend Garnish Boutique enough! Primarily, it was beyond evident that they took the COVID-19 restrictions very seriously, ensuring we wash our hands before entering and all staff wearing masks. It made my feel very confident that the store was taking its best measures to ensure the safety of their guests. Secondly, Mia was great! She pulled every dress that had my one desire and was very patient with me as I went back and forth between two dresses. She gave my mom, Maid of Honor, and I space as we decided upon MY dress! I was so excited to say "Yes to the Dress!" At Garnish Boutique. She also allowed me to come back after I went to my last appointment of the day, to try my gown back on before I committed. It was evident she was determined to make sure I was confident in my decision, but did not pressure me at all to make a decision that day! Overall, the boutique is SO cute & their collection of dresses are some of the most beautiful ones I tried on throughout my experience. I highly recommend you add this to your list of places to make an appointment when looking for your wedding dress! Wow- I am so much more excited for the big day & just want my dress to come in. Thank you to the Garnish Boutique staff! read more

Garnish Boutique - Saying Yes to the Dress! - Bridal Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

absolutely loved working with the team at Garnish Boutique! It was my first bridal store when shopping for my wedding dress, and I was shocked that I found it and didn't have to go to any other appointments. The boutique is the perfect size -- has a large and diverse selection, but not so large that you're immediately overwhelmed by options. The consultant lets you pick a few and then she'll gauge what to grab as you try them on and give feedback. It was completely stress-less and easy, and the prices were more than reasonable in my opinion. While they don't do tailoring in the shop, the tailor they recommend and work with regularly is absolutely amazing and she did a beautiful job with my dress. 10000% would recommend shopping here! read more

Garnish is the type of bridal shop that you dream about! I just started my wedding dress search and knew this would my first stop (guilty instagram stalker, gasp!). I emailed Mia, the owner and scheduled an appointment. My consultant, Tessa greeted me and gave me the lay of the land. The shop is nicely laid out and the natural lighting is amazing. There were just enough dresses for the experience to not to be overwhelming. I picked out about four dresses and then Tessa selected a few more that she thought would fit my style. Even though my appointment was for only for an hour, Tessa assured me she didn't have any more appointments that day and we could continue the hunt if necessary. She was very personable and took the time to wrote down all of my favorites. I didn't get a dress yet, but I definitely have two in mind. Brides, if you are looking an organized boutique with beautiful dresses and wonderful service check them out. PS - TLC if you make a Say Yes to the Dress: Baltimore, Garnish is your shop! read more

A must shop for brides. Beautiful gowns and amazing customer service. My daughter was able to find the perfect gown for her special day.

I can't say enough good things about this boutique. All of the dresses are beautiful and well priced. My daughter Mia had the pleasure of having Mia (the owner) as her consultant. Mia listened to all of the input and pulled beautiful dresses for us. The dress we got was beautiful and way under budget. We were really pleased and I encourage all brides to be to check this boutique out. read more

While this boutique has beautiful gowns, every last thing is rushed. The day I picked my gown, I was rushed to make a decision on a dress so my room could be cleaned out and prepared for the next group. I then decided to buy the dress and was rushed into the office where a small beverage was poured and then we were left so the woman could help someone else. No celebration factor or anything. I thought picking up my gown today would be different since now I had invested money and lots of travel into this particular boutique but instead my appointment ended in tears. I emailed prior to this 30 minute try on appointment to say I would really like to try on veils while in the gown. When I got there, I was told to make myself at home just to be told five minutes later my bags were in the way of the group coming in and got them thrown into my room. I was put into my dress and then forgotten about. It took about half way through my appointment for someone to bring me a veil then I was left again. When I was ready to try on another one, nobody was able to be bothered. I was brought something I specifically said I did not want and was left again. The only time I was given any attention is when I was nearly "out of time" and was found in tears. Long story short, if you want a special experience and to be treated like a person and not just a wallet, find a different boutique. Overall I am highly disappointed and they need to not book so many things at once so even the slightest bit of attention can go to the bride making a HUGE decision. I gave a 2 simply because the gown selection makes up slightly for the lack of customer service. This is no way a bride to be, or customer in general, should have to feel especially after driving 3 hours there for a brief appointment. read more

Mia is a pro! Highly recommend Garnish Boutique. I loved the dress I bought here, and had a great experience from start to finish.

Hi ladies. I don't typically write reviews, but wanted my experience to be known in the hopes this helps any of you in your wedding planning process. I see a lot of great reviews, which I'm surprised about. I've now been to 5 different boutiques and this was my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, the dresses were beautiful, but it was the service that rubbed me the wrong way. We walked in and they immediately stopped us and had us turn around to wash our hands. I get there are germs out there, but to my mother and I, it made us feel like they thought we were dirty. Not the most pleasant first impression. In addition, they charge $50 for an appointment, and this is for every appointment even to re-try on dresses to possibly buy THE dress. They didn't offer us any water or drinks whereas K&B bridal doesn't charge anything and they surprising offered us wine. Garnish was short with us and curt and it wasn't the warm and welcoming vibe that I'd expect for such an important time in my life. Ultimately, all of these factors have deterred me from coming back, therefore, I'll have to take my business elsewhere. I do recommend K&B Bridal (many locations) and Edel's in Havre De Grace. They treated me right from the start and I had a lovely and calming experience at both. read more

As someone with bigger hips and a hard-to-fit hourglass shape, I've been putting off wedding dress shopping with dread. The second I walked into Garnish, I felt at home. I was not personally helped by Mia, but she made sure to poke her head in and give encouraging words. My associate, Katie, was amazing. She recognized my style just 2-3 dresses in, scrapped suggestions and made new ones based on what I said I liked and disliked about the dresses. I ended up finding my dream dress! Also-COVID note-the store is big enough that you aren't interacting with anyone outside of your guests and associate. You have to wear gloves to touch the dresses and everyone is masked. It felt extremely safe. read more

Horrible experience!!! This is a cute boutique but (a) they cater to tiny girls, (b) the associates are super young and inexperienced, (c) the rooms lack privacy, and (d) the owner is snobby and bitchy. A) Something that they should advertise on their website is that almost all of their dresses are a bridal 6. This means that their dresses fit girls who wear a real life sizes 2 - 4. WTF?! The vast majority of women are dress 6 - 10. I'm a size 8 and NONE of the dresses fit me. And I'm not saying that they didn't fit me properly or even that they didn't zip all the way. I'm saying they didn't go over my hips. That's insane! B) I pulled some gowns that I liked but when none of them fit me, they associate started pulling dresses. Despite knowing that I HATE lace, she began pulling lace dresses, purely based on size. When trying on the gowns, I basically had to figure out how to put them on myself. She was a sweet girl but my mom and I did her job for her. C) Part of the reason why she couldn't help me was because the fitting room was make-shift AF and she had to hold the curtain closed during the fittings. The curtain was not as wide as the doorway. And since they don't provide robes or anything to cover your self with, I wasn't confortable with anyone seeing me in my bra and underwear. Hope your not shy if you choose this place. D) Lastly, the owner is snobby and bitchy. At one point I had resorted to trying on a lace dress even though I HATE LACE. Well, the dress was the only one that fit me so just for that my spirits were slightly lifted. The associate was excited too (I guess she hoped she just may be getting a commission after all. She called out for the owner to show her the dress on me. When she didn't hear a response she called out again and the owner clapped back at her and said, "Yea. I heard you. Give me a minute! " She finally came over, stood at the entrance of the fitting room, said "Yea. That's your shape.", and left. WOW! After that, I just called it quits with that store. Even if I had fit and loved a dress, I wouldn't have purchased it from there because the owner left such a bad taste in my mouth. She is unwelcoming and standoffish. Oh, did I mention this was my FIRST time trying on wedding dresses?! Yup. What a disappointment. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone with a butt or over a size 4. Good luck ladies! read more

My experience with Mia and Garnish Boutique was nothing short of amazing. I actually already had a wedding gown and was shopping around for bridesmaid dresses when I came to Garnish. A couple of my bridesmaids, who live in the DC area, tried on a beautiful dress at another boutique in Bethesda, but I didn't really appreciate the pressure from the saleswoman and the price was a bit steep for some of my bridesmaids. I came to Garnish so that my bridesmaids in the Baltimore area could try on the same dress. Not only was Mia way more relaxed and down-to-earth than the Bethesda lady, but she offered an amazing group discount! As my bridesmaids were trying on different gowns, I started to browse through the sample wedding gowns in the store. There was a bag that was all zipped up and I got curious as to what was inside. BEHOLD! A beautiful wedding gown that I was DYING to try on! I tried it on and I fell in love with it as my bridesmaids were behind me ooooh-ing and aaaaah-ing. Mia did not pressure me to make any purchases that day, but she did tell me that there would be an even larger discount on the bridesmaid dresses AND the wedding gown if we did decide to purchase them all. I went home and slept on it for about a month before I decided to purchase ANOTHER wedding gown and Mia remembered me and was super cool about everything. In fact, there was a Jim Hjelm/Tara Keely trunk show and I was able to add buttons down the back of my gown for an extremely discounted price. The wedding gown and bridesmaid gowns all came in way earlier than expected and everyone loved them all. Now I have to sell the first wedding gown I purchased and never wore. read more

Totally DISSATIFIED with the customer service received by Garnish Boutique!!! After the dress was returned to the designer for being mis-made originally by 3 sizes and instead of cutting a new dress, it was tapered modestly, damage to the pockets were made, and it was still 2 sizes too big per the design specs noted on their website. My confidence in them correcting their error a 3rd time and having it back in time for the wedding was slim and none!! The dress still required MASSIVE alterations to fit per the design specs which another designer graciously made. This lack of accountability to help pay for an ADMITTED ERROR in the design work has cost me $1000 over & above the exuberant price paid in full at time of purchase. read more

In this whole mess of being a Covid bride, Garnish Boutique was the *one* absolutely flawless experience I had! I fell in love with the designer Anna Campbell and drove down from Philly to find "the dress." Well not only did I find the dress, I also found the Veil, Earrings and most attentive, wonderful and thoughtful staff you could imagine. If you are or know a Covid bride you know the planning and prep has been a non-stop rollercoaster of emotions and changed plans, but any time I reached out to Mia at Garnish Boutique to stress about whether my dress would arrive on time, she was so polite, sweet and honest with any updates she could provide. She even face timed me when I decided last minute that I wanted a certain veil after searching high and low to find it. To say I am truly impressed and grateful to Garnish Boutique would be the understatement of 2020. I would give them 10 stars if I could read more

Garnish Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My experience at Garnish Boutique was absolutely a dream come true!!! This was actually my very first wedding dress fitting EVER and I walked out on cloud nine. There was plenty of parking at the building - both in front and back. *Note- the store sign is on the front of the building but you have to walk to the side and up the stairs to get to the store entrance. My bridesmaids and I were greeted right away by the store owner Mia. She showed us to a beautifully decorated room with a comfy couch and table to put down our coats and bags. Mia then showed us each section of the store which was organized by designer and dress style which made it SO easy to look through! She even showed us that the tags had the prices clearly marked so that I would easily be able to stay in budget. I had no idea what I was really looking for when I came in but Katie (our dress consultant) made the experience the best I could ask for! Katie made me feel so comfortable with getting in and out of dresses and never rushed me. She was really so sweet and respectful! She laughed along with my bridesmaids and would listen to their advice while also making sure that I was really happy with what I was wearing. I thought I wanted a more fitted dress but Katie suggested I try on a Blue Willow by Ann Barge dress that was in a ballgown style. I was hesitant at first but as soon as I tried it on and walked out of the fitting room- a hush came over everyone followed by loud squeals of delight! This was the one!! The dress even had a gorgeous long veil that came with it and both the dress and veil were 50% off because they were on the sample sale rack! I was blown away by the fact that even though my bridesmaids pressured me to buy the dress, Mia and Katie did not once pressure me to make a decision right away. In fact, they urged me to put the dress on hold and consult my fiance and mother regarding the finances first. I was so thankful for that! I have not yet purchased my dress but am convinced that I will soon be a Garnish bride! **Also my appointment was scheduled for 11-12 pm but Mia let me stay to try on dresses until 1 PM!!! If you're looking for a wedding dress for the first time- be sure to check out Garnish Boutique!! Edit- I purchased the dress shortly after and it was a GREAT decision! It came out so well in pictures! read more

I highly recommend Garnish Boutique. I had my first appointment on March 5 for an elopement on August 2. Those who know wedding dress shopping know this is already cutting the timing a bit close. Mia was able to check shipping dates while I was in the store so I knew what would arrive in time. I fell in love with the Anna Kara Primrose. The dressing room was private, spacious, and clean. There was plenty of natural light in the main area where I was looking at the dresses in the mirror. My friends and I were allowed to take photos of the dresses (some places aren't okay with this!) and it was so helpful being able to reference these when I had to make a decision. The Anna Kara factory had delayed production due to a number of covid infections and this delayed my dress shipment. Mia was all over it and kept me apprised of dress updates, shipping, etc. She was always very reassuring and kind while I was stressing about the timing of everything. She communicated directly with the seamstress to make sure alterations were done expeditiously due to the delayed shipment. Everything came together with time to spare and I absolutely love my dress. read more

Garnish Boutique - Bridal Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Mia is a queen! I came to the boutique during a Jane Hill trunk show all the way from Alexandria. I tried on a few dresses from the show and loved one but still had one more appointment. Mia didn't pressure me one ounce. In fact, she said "I know you'' be back" - go to your other appointment, get some lunch, don't stress. She was 100% right. I came right back after my other appointment and she quickly got all the paperwork together for my dress. She even hooked me up with a great alterations specialist in Herndon to save me a long trip back to Maryland. She is so responsive. Answered so many of my questions pre and post purchase. I wish all wedding vendors were like Mia! Truthful, friendly, kind all with a smile. I've been recommending the shop to all my recently engaged friends. I couldn't imagine shopping anywhere else. read more

Mia was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and just so sweet during the entire process. They have such a beautiful selection of dresses- contemporary, classic, all gorgeous- it's a true boutique feel but with a large selection! I cannot recommend Garnish Boutique enough!! read more

Garnish is gorgeous. There's a huge pedestal and mirror, with a nice viewing areas for your friends and/or family. The light is lovely. This is the place to go if you want the beautiful bridal boutique experience you see on TV and in the movies. It's a small shop, but carefully curated. Interestingly enough, nothing is white. It's all ivory, cream, ecru, eggshell, vanilla, what have you..but not white WHITE. I never found out why. You can order many of the dresses in white though. You do not have to "pick through" dresses here and they are not hidden in those huge plastic bags. Everything is out for you to see and the options are really beautiful. I was not here to try on a bridal gown, but rather bridesmaids dresses, so my experience will differ from most of the reviewers. Mia did not really work with us, but rather left us to our own devices and was not incredibly helpful, but when pressed, would weigh in. In the end, it seemed as if Mia didn't care very much about the sale. I can understand if she's more focused on the brides and not bridesmaids, but she did not return calls or e-mails when trying to make appointments. The bride decided to go elsewhere, even though she liked a few of the lines. Another boutique owner in town was much more excited and willing to work with her. read more

I can't say enough great things about this store !! After trying on at many boutiques this was my last appointment and I couldn't be happier my mom made me wait. I found the perfect dress at the perfect price and i felt the most beautiful of all that I tried on! Thank you Garnish ladies for finding me my dream dress! read more

I don't know where to begin. My experience here was beyond amazing! I actually purchased my dress on my second visit. Mia was there to support my every need. She accommodated my entourage size and when I finally said yes to the dress, she celebrated with me! She made this a very unforgettable experience. Location is great and the Boutique was beautiful! It screamed bridal! Great collection and comparable prices. read more

Although I didn't buy my wedding dress here, I had a great time shopping at Garnish. I had communicated with Mia prior to my appointment because I was interested in a few specific Tara Keely dresses, and she was very easy to work with via email. She let me know exactly which ones were in stock and gave me the option to have the others borrowed directly from the designer. During my appointment, I was the only shopper in the boutique and Mia and her assistant were so sweet to me! They gave me their honest opinions about dresses and picked out a few things that I would never have thought to try on before. They also took pictures of me and never made me feel awkward because I came alone (unlike some places!). The store is super cute and the dressing rooms are large and there is a ton of natural light, which is great for picture taking. read more

I had a really amazing experience here! Mia is clearly an expert and I loved how efficient she was at pulling gowns and guiding me through the process. She also was not pushy which was really nice, as I was expecting to feel pressured to make a purchase right away. The selection was also unique and extensive collection of dresses to try on. You can tell she puts a lot of thought into the designers she chooses for the store. I definitely recommend Garnish for any bride! read more

I fell in love with a Jim Hjelm dress at Kleinfeld's in New York, but wanted to buy locally. My grandmother had found a review of Garnish in the Sun paper and sent it to me, and I just happened to notice on their website they were having a Jim Hjelm trunk show this weekend, so we went to check it out. The owner, Mia, is super-friendly, incredibly knowledgable about the dresses, low pressure, and was just great to work with. I've been to several boutiques where the harried salespeople just don't really seem to care, so this place was a welcome change. The boutique is small (upstairs in the Ruxton shopping center) but elegant, and the service just makes it wonderful. She had THE dress I wanted, but I ended up falling even more in love with a sample dress she had on display, and I got a fabulous deal on it because it's being discontinued. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect wedding gown! read more

Garnish Boutique is exactly where you would dream of getting your dress. It's clean, beautiful, easy to get to, and the customer service is fantastic. My mom and I went twice - first to try different dresses, and second when I found the dress I thought I wanted online and desperately called Garnish to see if they had it available (they did, I just missed it the first time!). I never, ever felt pressured to make an impulse purchase, or to try on more or less dresses, and no one ever tried to up-sell me. read more

I had a wonderful experience at garnish boutique! The staff were so warm and accommodating and really made me feel like a princess! Although I did not end up getting my dress from here, they have an amazing collection and would definitely stop by here on your wedding dress search! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. The boutique was bright and sunny and staff was welcoming. The dresses were organized and easy to go through (other salons I went to had the dresses so crammed onto the racks that you couldn't really see it without pulling each one down). I went on a day that they were having a trunk show so I know it was a hectic day for them but it didn't show at all. Katie was so easy to work with and had me buttoned up in the dresses in a flash. She offered great suggestions of accessories but wasn't pushy and listened to the feedback from myself and my bridesmaids. I was lucky enough to find the dress I said "yes" to but even if I hadn't, it was a great experience overall. Thank you so much to the whole staff, especially Katie, Jess, and Mia! xo read more

This was a great salon. I wish I could have found my dress here. I believe it was mia that helped me and she was so hands on. I would love her as a coordinator or something. Unfortunately, i could not fit many of the samples and i had other appointments scheduled. She was flexible and offered to call in for a loaner dress for me to try. I never felt pressure, and the fitting rooms were private and one of the most organized salons, ive seen. read more

This bridal shop has the biggest range of dresses I've seen so far. The owner Mia made me feel so special and important today and I think we found my dress. I couldn't be happier with the range of dresses I was able to try on today and the best part was she let us take pictures of the dresses I was in love with because most of my bridesmaids could not attend (a lot of dress store owners will not let you do that). The shop is clean, organized and all around beautiful. Thank you for making my experience so special and beautiful. read more

I went to Garnish for a specific dress line. I made an appointment but when I arrived I felt like I was a bother to the staff. They didn't ask me what I was looking for, didn't want any details about me big day, made no attempt to make me feel special. They did have pretty dresses that were nice quality but I was rushed in and out of each gown. They didn't bother to accessorize or answer any of my questions having to do with alterations for a specific area of the dress that wasn't pleasing to me. The sad part is I really liked one of the dresses but had an issue with the cups in the dress. I also would have loved to see it with a bling accessories but felt so uncomfortable I just wanted to leave. It really doesn't matter because I would never buy a dress from Garnish anyway. SUPER SNOBBY!! But maybe that's what they are going for. read more

I went to Garnish last weekend and had a fantastic experience! Maggie was my consultant and she made me feel so comfortable! I literally cried on my way over because I had bad anxiety about trying on dresses but Maggie was so helpful and really kept my calm and made it a fun experience! The owner Mia also picked a dress and she was spot on with my style. It's a really nice salon and it's not too big, which I liked because it didn't feel overwhelming. I like the way the store is organized by style because I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. Great experience! I highly recommend going to Garnish! read more

Came here for my first bridal dress shopping experience, I wasn't sure what to expect. The boutique is very pretty and all employees were very helpful. You can go through the racks and pick up whatever you want to try on. Their selection is very nice and their prices are good. I found some dresses I may come back to but for now I want to keep looking. I would have given this place 5 stars but I showed up on time and had to wait 10mins for the consultant to be done with the previous appointment which cut my appointment short. Also I wished she would have given me her input and pulled dresses for me. read more

Definitely my favorite place after going to numerous boutiques. I have been a number of times for family and friends and every time it was a great experience. Everyone is friendly and the place is super cute. I always recommend it to all of my friends. read more

Great selection of gowns, and everything is current. I came in with my MOH and two bridesmaids by appointment. Mia was not the consultant who I worked with, but she was the first to give me a friendly greeting. She was fluent in fabrics, textures, colors, and everything of the kind. My appointment was not exactly what I had hoped it would be. The consultant that I did end up working with made a few comments here and there that were somewhat off-putting. She made a comment about a dress not doing anything for my body and then also made a remark about my girlfriends. I kept quiet because I thought maybe I was being a little sensitive, but after reflecting on it see that it was inappropriate. Warm and genuine were not vibes I was getting from her, I felt like I was under a microscope. Full disclosure: I had no idea what I was looking for or what I wanted. I tried everything on and kept picking it all apart. I think the fact of the matter is that I needed a consultant to give me a little confidence, take the wheel a bit, and show me styles that could help me narrow it down. It wasn't like I walked in without having ever looked at Pinterest, but looking at social media is a lot different than actually trying on gowns. I think if I had Mia as my consultant I probably would have ended up finding something. read more
