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.

A few months late, but I truly cannot say enough good things about this Anthropologie Weddings…read morelocation! (Spoiler: I got my wedding dress here!) 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.

Bride beware. Extremely disappointed in service, attitude, and alterations. Front office staff was…read moreincredibly snooty, and alterations left the bride with buttons that were off center, red dots where the buttons were supposed to have been sewed on, loose threads all over the hem of the dress, and the worst part, the bustle strings were sewn into the dress rather than the hem leaving marks on the outside of the dress only for the bustle string to tear off 15 minutes in to the reception! After paying an obscene amount of money for alterations, bride was left to bustle her dress with a hair tie. Oh, and they couldn't even be bothered to steam the dress and put it in a bag large enough for the dress for transport. The dress was stuffed into a regular sized garment bag. Find another seamstress!!!

Diana is as spunky and passionate as they come. I went to a few of the area custom wedding gown…read moretailors, and no one spoke to me in-depth about their technique as Diana did on our first meeting. I brought a sketch of a self-designed dress, and Diana was able to right away understand and tell me the requirements and details needed. As an experienced gown maker, she was also incredibly efficient. The final fitting was only the 5th time trying it on. It might have taken fewer fittings, but I was detoxing and things got a little loose, and Diana was super sweet and fixed it all up in time. Needless to say, the final result was truly a dream come true, with minor adjustments and tweaking based her expert opinion and my support. My design was inspired by Inbal Dror and Elizabeth Fillmore (all $$$$$ haute couture gowns ), and funny enough Diana happened to have a signature Inbal Dror gown in her atelier at that time for alterations. But given the loving creation she made for me, I honestly adore it even more than the haute couture version (call me biased!) Love you Diana!!! So glad I found you!!!
