    Bushra was my stylist and was helpful in finding my wedding dress! I've been to two other salons prior and wasn't quite happy with their selections, but once I came to the Bridal Room, I knew something was different here. Prior to the appointment, she called and asked what styles that I like and recommended that I make a wish list on their website. At the salon, the dresses are placed together according to their style, so it makes browsing really easy. Bushra brought out the dresses that I picked along with some recommendations, and we were able to pick out a few that look best on me. I picked a beautiful Essence of Australia dress that's perfect for my big day and I couldn't be more happier! They require a 70% deposit to order and charges the rest about a month after, and this is helpful for my budget. Thank you again to Bushra and the Bridal Room team in helping me saying yes to the dress! I look forward to seeing my dress in a few months and getting it altered before my wedding.

    I had a wonderful experience finding my perfect wedding dress at the bridal room! The shop itself is gorgeous! You get a private section to yourself where your guests can sit and enjoy the experience while you go behind the curtain to try on dresses with your bridal consultant. My consultant, Monique, truly made the experience for me. She was so sweet and attentive, she really listened to what I had to say and guided me to my dream dress. Never once did I feel rushed or overwhelmed, she is truly a pro at what she does. Thought it was my first bridal shop appointment, I felt so comfortable at the bridal room and was so in love with my dress that I had to sa! And canceled my future appointments with other bridal shops. Thank you Monique and Heba for being so wonderful, I am thrilled to be a Bridal Room Bride. UPDATE: Every part of my experience with the Bridal Room was beyond perfect. My dress looked exactly the way I hoped. I cannot thank Bridal Room enough!!

    I had to provide an OVERALL review on my entire experience. FIRST off, the girls here are amazing! They literally walk with you through the entire process. I found my dress here about 7 months before my wedding. They were so accommodating with me with all my fittings. I had a vision to add the off the shoulder sleeves to my dress and the alterations were on point. When I had to get my dress altered she mentioned my weight loss, that I should come in 2 weeks before my wedding and EVERYTHING would be done. She was completely confident and the bridal room didn't flinch. Funny part, when I told people I knew they worried for me. But the way TBR handled it, I didn't worry. I trusted them 10000% with my dress. Well the week of my wedding I picked up my dress after 1 week of alterations and it was perfect. I never felt so beautiful and I am so grateful that I found my dress here. If you want an experience for yourself and you want to find a gown that is meant for you, The Bridal Room will give you that. I'm telling you after 10 boutiques and 80 dresses, it took one appointment from here. The experience is different here and it's such a great feeling! THANK YOU BRIDAL ROOM!

    I had a fun time seeing the beautiful dresses at The Bridal Room on my friend last weekend! It is a gorgeous shop with designer dresses, but I can't give it 5 stars for a couple reasons: 1) We were early and it was great that they were willing and able to start our appointment ahead of schedule as the folks in the appointment ahead of us were already done, but instead of giving my friend a little extra time, they said that, because of an early start, instead of ending at 2:15 as originally scheduled, starting 15 minutes early would mean we'd need to finish by 2pm. I understand they have 1 hour and 15 minute time slots, but if someone else has finished early and the next appointment arrives, there is no time being wasted by allowing that second appointment a little extra leeway since they wouldn't have another appointment scheduled until after the original ending time anyways. 2) The woman helping us seemed overly insistent by continuing to mention the 1 hour 15 minute time frame we had to work with and went on for at least 5 minutes talking about the simple logistics of the appointment, thereby seeming to waste "precious minutes" of this strict appointment time slot. OVerall though it was a good experience, we were offered sparkling Rose (which we declined) and cookies or macarons (which I happily accepted) when we arrived, nice touch. Maya was very supportive and helpful once my friend actually started trying dresses on. They carry Hayley Paige dresses, and that was mostly what my friend came to try, and they were all very nice. When my friend realized she was still thinking about another dress at a shop we had visited that morning, and so decided that was the dress she wanted, Maya and everyone in the Bridal Room was very supportive and happy and did not act snubbed or annoyed that my friend would not be purchasing a dress from them. Definitely a shop worth stopping at if you're a bride in the region and want an upscale, designer try-on experience.

    Love this place!! Every dress I tried on was a winner it was hard to choose! Super friendly staff and the shop aesthetic is amazing. Would definitely recommend!!

    I had the absolute best experience during my two trips to The Bridal Room! This is where I "said yes to the dress" and I couldn't be happier! The service was incredible. Everyone I spoke with made me feel so special when looking and trying on different styles. They were personable and really wanted to know the ins and outs of my special day to help me make the best decision. The boutique is beautiful and clean! Definitely an insta worthy place to shop. I can't wait for my dress to go in so that I can go back! So happy to be apart of The Bridal Room family thanks to my amazing stylist Saddia!

    So let me just start off by saying....if I could give more than 5 stars I would! I LOVED this place from the moment I walked in. The Bridal Room consultants provided me with that intimate and personal customer service experience any bride could hope for! The dresses, by the way, are to DIE FOR! I ended up buying a beautiful Essence Of Australia wedding dress for my elopement this past January. I just want to personally thank everyone at The Bridal Room for providing me with an exceptional dress that my family and friends and still talking about!

    See all

However, it's a nicer storefront and they have some great dress options. They have in house Seamtress - alterations on your dress is typically starting around $1,200 depending on what you change. I ordered one of their custom dresses that they created with a designer. I further customized my dress with adding a longer train to it and adding a slit. I will say I've seen variations of my dress online by other designers, but I think my quality dress appeared like it was better material. I felt like the customer service varied depending on who you got that day. Some people seemed more kind and tried their best to be accommodating and others seemed like they were just trying to be done for the day. I had around 3 fittings. I could bring 2 people with me each time. They have sample sales available and there's two locations for this company. Overall, if you want the dream dress experience this is not it. However, if you just want to buy your dress and you don't need all the extra bell and whistles (e.g champagne, back drops, private fittings) then this is a good choice. They packaged my dress, veil, and hair band nicely upon receiving everything and they provide a contract with most of the main details of your purchase. You have to pay for everything before you can take the dress (obviously). Overall, if I could do it all again I would probably go with another dress company. That's because I'm extra for the price I ended up paying in total which was around $7K I could've probably gone to a higher end bridal shop with more elevated experience. BUT they checked the boxes and accommodated most of my needs.

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

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!

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.
