I ended up getting my dress elsewhere, but I have to give Carine's a 5-star review. From the second…read morewe walked in (group of 6 including me) we were greeted and welcomed with open arms. Felt very good being there, the vibe was so positive from the staff. The person that greeted us told us to have a seat and our consultant will be with us shortly. Amber came out and greeted us and directed us to the fitting room area to set our stuff down and start looking at dresses together. From the moment Amber came out until the moment we finished out appointment she was very amazing, most positive vibe I've seen, had the most pleasant experience with her. I was so lucky to have her as my consultant that day. She listed to everything I had to say, she was also very respectful to my entire group (unlike some other stores I went to), she kept a positive vibe the whole time and I can say for sure all the dresses she picked for us was exactly within my budget and exactly what I had asked for. It's a bummer that I didn't fall in love with the dresses I tried on, because the experience for sure was a 5-star and it would have been amazing to work with Amber... They do have amazing collections such as Monique Lhuillier ,Vera Wang ,Oscar de la, Renta ,Berta, Inbal Dror, Carolina Herrera, Mira Zwillinger, Liancarlo and more... Also, she did follow up with me, but not in a pushy way, very professional. Defiantly recommend booking your appointment with Amber!

Do NOT purchase your dress from Carine's…read more If you have enough money to buy a high-end gown from Carine's, do yourself a favor: hop on a train to NYC and order from a boutique that actually respects its brides and delivers on time. Buying my dress from Carine's was the WORST mistake of my entire wedding process. **Their communication is terrible.** I had to chase them down to find out where my dress was, and it turned out they had forgotten about it until I reached out. **They do not take responsibility for delays.** Even though they forgot to send my dress and caused the delay, they refused to overnight it unless I paid extra--despite the $600 I had already spent on shipping. **They left me scrambling last minute for alterations.** I received my dress only TWO WEEKS before my wedding, forcing me to pay double for rush alterations in California where I live. There's A LOT MORE I could say about other shady things they did to me beyond what I've listed above, but I'll refrain. Bottom line: Carine's turned what should have been a joyful experience into an expensive, high-stress nightmare.

I had such a wonderful experience with Vanessa. I walked in saying, "I have no idea what I want,"…read morewith five women in my family who all had completely different visions for my dress. She never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Instead, she was patient, warm, honest, and somehow managed to ask exactly the right questions when I couldn't even explain what I was looking for. The funniest part is that I ended up choosing a dress I never would have picked myself. I only tried it on because my aunt said, "Your Grammy would have picked that one," and it ended up being the dress. Vanessa never tried to steer me toward what she wanted. She simply helped me discover what I loved, and that made all the difference. I also have to mention that I absolutely hate shopping. I joked that my favorite thing to shop for is sports bras, and she laughed right along with me, which immediately put me at ease. What I expected to be stressful ended up being one of the most enjoyable shopping experiences I've ever had. Thank you, Vanessa, for making such a special day even more memorable. I'll always remember how supported and comfortable you made me feel.

It took me several visits to pick my dress, and I so appreciated the patience, encouragement, and responsiveness (via email and phone call) of everyone who works here. When I first started dress shopping, I honestly didn't really know what I wanted, so I scheduled an appointment to try on _everything_ that appealed (recommend going on a weekday to do this as it's less busy!). Emma was so, so patient with me, listening to what I liked and didn't, and making suggestions. I left that appointment with a much better sense of what I was going for, and really appreciated the follow up email with details about my top picks, sizing, and warnings about any styles that are back-ordered or low stock. I returned later with a much better sense of my taste and was able to narrow down to two dresses, but still wasn't ready to make a call. Then, went back *again* a few days later to try on my top pick again (with accessories!!) and say yes to the dress! Generally, their selection is great-- especially of Jenny Yoo dresses which I was most interested in. They also have many options that are lower prices than other high end boutiques in the area. Everyone that works here went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible experience and was comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend!

I've known I wanted to shop for a dress at Anthropologie for over a decade, ever since I walked…read moreinto one as a teenager and fell in love with the dresses hanging up around the space. Sarah was our bridal stylist and she was absolutely amazing. She was so friendly and attentive, she really made me feel special and made sure to check in with me and figure out exactly what I liked and didn't. We tried in seven dresses total, and I ended up trying two again, all within the hour-long session. I honestly had no expectations coming in, I thought I'd try a few on and then come back for a second appointment. But I'm so excited to say I found the perfect dress for my elopement. The one I chose ended up around $1300, which was a great price for how gorgeous and well made the dress is. We bought before we left and it was back ordered, so I should get it in a few weeks! Thank you to Sarah and the entire Anthropologie team, it was such a fun, easy experience and all of the dresses are so gorgeous.

First off, I'll say I had a wonderful experience trying dresses on in the salon. My stylist was so…read moregreat, making the experience really comfortable and enjoyable. She was lovely to talk to, seemed genuinely interested in connecting with me, and didn't come across as salesy or pushy at all. Now on to why I unfortunately have to give the salon 3 stars. I was part of the cohort of women who almost didn't get their dresses in time for their weddings. Honestly, the dress almost not arriving on time isn't even really the issue for me. I understand that shipping is hard to estimate, and that factors outside the salon's control may affect the arrival time. Fine, I could have handled all of those issues. The thing is, I can't give those kinds of concessions or that level of understanding when a salon chooses to just not respond, not update, make up excuses, or straight up lie about the location and arrival time of my dress. Over the course of several months, I had three separate pickup appointments scheduled, but Lovely canceled them at the last minute and rescheduled them before I actually got my dress. No one was ever straight up with me, even after I directly asked them to do so, and still. They once told me my dress was already here, so they booked an appointment for me to come in and pick it up, and then called me 30 minutes before the appointment to say it wasn't there. I don't live in DC. It's a huge pain to drive all the way into DC just to have your appointment canceled for the THIRD time. In the end, my dress arrived with enough time for it to be rush-tailored for my wedding. It looked great, but the stress and awful not-up-front back-and-forth with the salon really soured the experience. It sucks because I loved my stylist and want to sing the salon's praises, but unfortunately, she was the only good thing about Lovely in my opinion.

I went here for 2 separate appointments, a bridal appointment and accessories appointment. The…read moreexperience itself was great. They have a great selection of dresses and I actually found my dress here, but I did not "say yes" to the dress at this location. I had emailed them to get more info about a customization I wanted to make and never heard back. So I found the same dress at a different location and went with that one. I decided to go back for an accessories appointment to give them a second chance as I did really enjoy the experience. In person they're responsive and great. I asked for a price point for the two veils I liked and a production time and was told they'd get back to me Wednesday. The appointment was Saturday and it is now Thursday and I have not heard back. I sent an email as well with still no luck. This place is great to have the bridal experience and find your dress but not the best place for following up, follow through or committing to your dress or accessories here which is very unfortunate as your dress is not what you want to stress about on your wedding day.

I cannot recommend Celeste enough for wedding dress alterations. From the very first fitting, she…read morewas incredibly kind, professional, and an expert in her craft. Wedding dresses can be delicate and complex; she immediately understood exactly how to tailor my dress so it would give that custom fit glow. My alterations were extensive and totaled close to $2,000 and every single detail was done with such care and precision. She carefully pinned and explained each adjustment during my fittings so I always understood what she was doing and why. When I put the dress on at my final fitting, it truly felt like it had been custom made just for me. The fit was absolutely flawless, and she created a beautiful 5-piece bustle that blended seamlessly with the design of the dress and was easy to manage. Celeste made the entire experience feel calm and enjoyable during what can be a very busy and stressful time while planning a wedding. Every appointment felt organized. She was always patient and reassuring throughout the entire process. Knowing that my dress fits perfectly for my wedding day (next week) is such a wonderful feeling. If you're a bride looking for someone you can completely trust with your wedding dress, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her. Will return to this review to share picture updates of my dress after the big day

It's for experiences like the one that I had with Love Couture Bridal that I REALLY REALLY wish…read morethere was an option to add more than 5 stars!!! After the bridal store I had originally purchased my wedding dress from told me they "lost" my dress 5 days before my wedding - I was in a state of absolute shock!! From that bridal store, I went to straight to Google and searched for 'bridal store near me', and started going through the reviews and pictures! I was immediately blown away by the pictures of dresses I saw at Love Couture Bridal, so I immediately gave them a call, briefly explained my situation and asked them if they took walk-ins - and they told me to head on over!! Fast forward - I literally cannot BEGIN to tell you how I went from feeling overwhelmed and panicked, to completely calm and at ease!!! And that was ALL thanks to the AMAZING team at Love Couture Bridal; especially Lauren!!! From the minute I walked in, Lauren sat me down and explained what my options were given that my wedding was 5 DAYS AWAY!!! Yes... 5 days !! I described what I was hoping for in terms of styles, gave her my size and within 15 minutes she had at least 10 dresses pulled and ready for me to try on. Did I need to try on all 10? No - literally after trying on the second dress both my mum and I were in tears because it was evident that that was THE dress for me!!! After choosing the dress (or perhaps it was the dress choosing me), I was taken to another fitting room where Celeste (one of their AMAZING seamstresses), worked with my mother and I to go through what was needed in terms of the fitting. The level of attention to detail, and the kindness that was shown by Lauren and Celeste was absolutely AMAZING!!! My mother and I had a difference of opinion on how low the cut should be with my dress - and Celeste listened to us both and found an amazing middle ground!! After paying for the dress I was told to come back two days later for the final fitting - and I literally could not have been more in awe!!! Everything about Love Couture Bridal will forever remain close to my heart! Their beautiful selection of wedding dresses, their impeccable service, exceptional staff and willingness to help problem solve with such a tight turnaround!!! Obviously, I hope no other bride-to-be finds herself in the situation I was in!! But my experience just goes to show that this is truly a blessing of a bridal shop!!! 10/10 will recommend to each and everyone I know that's getting married

I arrived a few minutes early. It's not a huge space but they made a pretty spacious dressing room. There are a full racks lining the walls and a few in the middle. They seem really well organized by size for easier browsing. The space is clean and neat. There was another bride trying on dresses but Missy said hi and introduced herself and asked for a moment as another bride finished up her appointment so I took a seat. The experience was great. I came by myself since my friends could not clear their schedules in time given my quick scheduling. The place is called Fairytale and it did feel like Missy could be a fairy godmother. She had referenced the images I shared for inspo and had found a couple dresses like them for me to try. She also noticed I wasn't feeling quite comfortable in how I looked and was so encouraging. She suggested a couple of other dresses that I ended up liking more than I expected. She was showing how certain other dresses or details can help me feel like the right things are accentuated. She also gave some really helpful tips including dress timeline, tailoring, and candid yet kind thoughts. I did not catch the name of the other staff who was helping her but she was also awesome. They both helped me in and out of dresses. The other person also helped take pictures for me to reference later and even came running out with my phone when I left without it and only realized when I got in my car. They were both great. I highly recommend this place. There were some really pretty dresses for nice prices. A bit lighter for my size range but still options. The experience was also quite nice. As a bride, you often have a lot on your mind and I felt so supported throughout this visit while feeling like they had my best interest in mind. I'll be back!

One of my bridesmaids/best friends was in town visiting for a few days and she suggested we go look at dresses while she was here. I found Elaya Vaughn Bridal on Yelp and my friend called right away. And JUST our luck there was an appointment cancellation and she could fit us in the very next day! I got an email confirmation letting me know what to expect, how many people to bring, and the price ranges and sizes of the gowns. The day of the appointment I took two friends and Kate warmly greeted us and kept the champagne flowing the entire appointment! This was by far one of the most fun experiences I've had trying on clothes! Kate asked me questions about my preferences and immediately went to work pulling options for me. I was very fortunate that every dress I tried on fit me pretty well, making it easier to envision what the final look would be. (I'm around a size 4-6 on top and closer to an 8-10 on the bottom, but all the gowns were easily slipped over my head and fell over my hips.) Kate was so helpful offering alternatives when I said which parts of gowns I did and didn't like on me. And suggesting different fabrics to lower cost and be more beach-friendly (my wedding is going to be on a beach). The entire showroom is in the basement of a row house and is beautifully decorated and had plenty of light coming in, which was great for photos. A day after the appointment Kate followed up by email with the details of the dress I liked the most and the design alternations we talked about, letting me know if I was interested to schedule a follow up appointment to get measurements. I'm still in the phase of wanting to try on all the dresses, but I had such a wonderful experience and absolutely recommend this shop to any brides!
