TLC Bridal was everything you would hope for in A bridal shopping experience! J.J. was so knowledgeable, friendly, relaxed, patient, and fun!! But she was efficient and knows her clients needs. We could tell that she has been working in the bridal industry for a long time! My daughter said, "Yes to the Dress" at our first appointment. The boutique is clean and has a great selection. We were looking for a good deal and their annual sale did not disappoint!!! J.J. was prompt with responses, which helped us schedule easily and find a time quickly. We chose this boutique because a good friend of ours found her dress there. Now we highly recommend TLC Bridal also!!! read more

The "Cinderella Room" is a room in the attic where dresses are kept when no longer in production. There are gorgeous wedding gowns for less than half the price. You'll be in the attic so prepare to sweat a little and do some work digging, but I found "the one" in 30 minutes. The dress was too small (by several sizes) so I'll spend a little in alterations, but walked out with my dream dress for $350! Everyone I worked with was very helpful, friendly, and kept checking in on me. They also offered good insight on what was possible for alterations. read more

TLC Bridal did an amazing job when trying to find my prom dress! They helped me with fitting and even offered a 10% discount for modeling. Would recommend to everyone, worth the purchase! read more

Shop is beautiful and staff very knowledgeable and accommodating. We purchased a gown for my daughter which matched her price range and style. Double score!! Make the appointment - nothing to lose. read more

Came here with M to look at wedding dresses for her. TLC was awesome. Service was wonderful and attentive right from the beginning. JayJay has a great sense of humor and made our visit one to remember. She has a wonderful personality. There were plenty of dresses that looked beautiful on M and she left more than satisfied. We arrived a bit late for our appointment and JayJay was more than accommodating and incredibly patient. They have beautiful dresses here and this boutique is adorable. Employees are friendly and kind. I highly recommend TLC Bridal Boutique. read more

TLC Bridal Boutique was by far my favorite shop when it came to shopping for my wedding dress. The bridal consultant was so much fun to work with, and she gave me ideas for dresses that I had not even considered. JJ was a life saver when it came time for my dress alteration. I had purchased my dress a few months before I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease that required a quadruple bypass. Unfortunately, the surgery left a scar that was quite visible with the V-neck of the dress. The seamstress that altered my dressed had asked if we could purchase lace from the dress designer. She had planned to turn the V-neck into a boat neck. I emailed TLC Bridal Boutique and received a response that same day. JJ was on top of contacting the designer and ordering the lace appliqué for us. The dress turned out beautifully! read more

This bridal boutique is amazing. They have a great variety of dresses everything from Allure to Maggie Sottero, tulle, silk, crepe, ruffles, lace, beading they have it all. Not only do they have a ton of dresses but their customers service is unmatched. My mother and sister couldn't be with me because they live across the country but no worries I had my pseudo mom Kaila there to help me try on dresses and take lots of photos for to share for them. After showing my family the dresses I love I went back and they helped my work with the designer to customize my dress. I couldn't have asked for a better experience :) I highly recommend coming here for your wedding dress and formal dress needs. This shop is amazing and they are such lovely people to work with. read more

My mother and I stopped by to take a quick look at potential dresses today. We had such a great time! Kaylan was super accommodating and helpful. Thank you so much for jump starting our search we will be back soon! :) read more

Highly recommend looking here for your wedding dress- you won't be disappointed!! My sister and I went here after we had looked at 2 other places out of state. My sister (the bride) had an idea of what she was looking for and showed our consultant Sarah a few photos to start. Let me tell you.... she knocked it out of the park with what she put my sister in. She pulled 4-5 dresses and every single one of them was EXACTLY what my sister had asked. She immediately knew the first 2 dresses were her top 2 as soon as she put them on. Unfortunately my sister chose a dress at another shop after this, as she ended up having her "bridal moment" in another dress. But we were amazed at how awesome Sarah our consultant was, how cute this boutique is, and even how friendly and accommodating the managers were! 5 STARS! read more

It's great to go to if you don't want a dress with beaded detail to be altered to have a slit. They were kind and the snacks were nice, but I was an unfortunate bride who was told both in messenger and in the company of my Matron of Honors not once, not twice but three times to confirm that the dress could have a slit put in before paying for it. I, of course, signed the no return form because I was confident after they said they were sure the seamstress could do the slit in the area I wanted it which was described in person several times. They're the ones that work in the dress industry, not me, so I trusted the advisement. The seamstress said it was impossible to do the slit where I wanted it. I didn't want a slit on the side as you wouldn't have been able to see the boot detail there. If I wanted a plain dress with no slit that wouldn't have been on my radar otherwise, I would have purchased one off of Amazon for 75 dollars. When I contacted them, it had only been a couple of days after I bought it, and it wasn't worn except to put on for the seamstress. I, instead, received no refund and got no message back when I asked about taking them up on the offer to exchange the dress for a different one which would have been settling also, but better than having something I wasn't going to wear. So now I am stuck with a 3k dress I won't be wearing but thankfully ended up finding a replica that is nearly identical on MISSACC for under 200.00 with a slit and when it came in just recently, the quality was also nearly identical. I'm not difficult to please, clearly, but I don't like when someone can't make their wrong right. If you need an alteration, make sure to take pictures of the dress and go seek counsel from a seamstress before swiping your card, spending your hard earned money you saved your pennies up for. Sure, you won't be ordering that moment, but you could save yourself the heartache after hoping the wedding after you became a widow from your previous marriage would be fully enjoyable. I'm no monster bride by any means, but I also don't appreciate in any circumstance being told something is sure to be possible and spend 3k only to find out that it isn't and not being able to get a refund, or even half a refund which I suggested. I have enough stress between my cat fighting FIP, being on chemotherapy and infusions for Lupus, having survived septic shock but still battling confidence issues because of the belly it left me and being such a kind person in an unforgiving world. I owned my own business before my health took a turn, and while I had policies, I also had integrity and did right by my clients. If I messed up by advising them wrongly, I took accountability. This should have been a "refund due to circumstance" situation since "their bride" was advised wrong by their staff. Lesson learned. Hopefully, this helps another bride. I wish I could have said it was an overall good experience because I love giving great reviews on businesses since I remember how much they meant when I owned one. read more

Had an amazing experience shopping at TLC bridal. This was the first place that I went dress shopping and I was not disappointed. Sarah and Kaylin were a great team, and somehow made sense of what I thought I was looking for. They turned it into a great selection of dresses that were flattering for my shape and stunning. In the end, I found the perfect dress thanks to them!!!! Very happy with the quality of the dresses and with the staff. If you want to get the full bridal experience, this is the place to go!!!! read more

TLC is hands down the best dress shop in the area!! I bought my wedding dress here a few years ago and was recently in the market for a formal gown to wear to a black tie gala. TLC was the first place to pop in my head. I wanted something that wasn't PROM but also wasn't MOTHER OF THE BRIDE. I'm 44 so I wanted to look classy and not too young. I was able to get in for an individualized appointment quickly and found the BEST dress!!!! The service and attentiveness are unmatched. They will definitely get my call again!! read more

I shopped around a bit for wedding dresses and decided to say yes to the dress at TLC! The employees were very welcoming and made me feel on top of this world. Super happy with my dress and can't wait to show it off in 6 months! Thank You TLC! read more

I came to TLC all the way from Baltimore hoping I would find my wedding dress, and even though I didn't buy a dress I had an unbelievable experience. I called on Friday for a Sunday appointment and they were able to fit me in right away! I went ahead and purchased the "Bridal exclusive" package which included wine, appetizers, and 3 full hours of consultation (the shop was completely closed just for me & my friends!) for just $200! I enjoyed the intimacy of my appointment and How JayJay was 100% focused on me / determined to help me out. She has a large selection of dresses and the shop is super chic! Truly worth the drive! Highly recommend JayJay and her team. read more

WARNING! This shop has past years dresses for to try on and then orders the current season dress based on computer images. When the dress arrives in a completely different color & fabric which does not meet your expectations- so sorry - too bad! You signed a contract & you are stuck paying for it!!! Saying they are deceptive and manipulative is being kind. Honestly think it is pathetic that the business feels the need to berate minors and speak poorly about parents in a group setting. Clearly the business is doing poorly since they work with distributors that don't stand behind their products & they need the $300 more than my 16yo daughter... read more

TLC Bridal Boutique - Pictures don't lie - but you do!!!! - Bridal Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

TLC really is a cute place that matches the historic downtown flair. The salon is upstairs and overlooks Market Street. There was the absolutely cutest pick up pink Cinderella dress on a mannequin by the window (no I did not try it on). They provide you with a slip and a bra of your size. The sales associates were very helpful and they (along with my mother) helped to convince me that it's OK to try on things that were originally on my "no" list. Of course, I loved them. I had the shop to myself and the appointment after me had to reschedule, so they had no problem spending two plus hours with me trying on different dresses. I would definitely recommend TLC to future brides! read more

Ok, one more-- I showed up for my accessories appointment, Terry showed me exactly one veil (different one than I had tried on at my first visit), and I loved it and bought it. It was perfect. I don't even remember if I told her my criteria (I like a rat-tail or lace trim, I don't like sequins, I love blushers), but she picked the perfect veil with the right amount of detail to complement my dress. And, it was in my price range! She did not try to oversell me anything-- I brought in my own shoes and necklace and she told me she loved them. I totally trust her. read more

Unlike my experience at other boutiques, I truly believe THIS is what a bridal appointment should feel like. TLC was welcoming, professional, and personal. My consultant paid attention to what I was looking for, and I ended up purchasing the very first dress she selected. Beautiful store, easy to get to, and a wonderful team who makes it clear they're there for the Bride. Thank you, TLC! 1,000% recommend. read more

Wow - I just had my first wedding dress consultation with jay jay and it was amazing. As a slightly clue-less bride on a rather tight budget, she made me feel like I was just as important as those $3000+ brides. Her, along with my matron of honor made this day so incredibly special. So intimate and lovely. Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

Ladies. I went dress shopping in no fewer than TEN boutiques (aaaand David's Bridal) in the DC/Virginia/Maryland area. Tonight, I found my wedding gown at TLC!! After visiting so many places, I can say this boutique offers one of the most attentive and, well, *joyful* experiences for dress-hunting. After calling last weekend, desperate to find a dress and running behind on the wedding timeline, JayJay was so sweet and accommodating; it felt like I had called an aunt or neighbor. She offered her soonest available appointment. Today complicated matters when I got out of work late, putting me nearly an hour behind schedule. JayJay eased my stress and promised to make it work. When I arrived and climbed the stairs of the unassuming row-house, I found a beautiful and chic little boutique and a wonderful assortment of dresses. JayJay was energetic and charmingly down-to-earth. When I told her my budget (think David's Bridal range) you could tell she was a bit daunted, but she was determined to find the right dress. She pulled around six gowns that fit the style I was looking for, and they were ALL reasonably close to budget. But ultimately, it was a BEAUTIFUL dress she graciously offered to sell off-the-rack that won me over. The dress was literally everything I wanted. I left my appointment, gown in tow, thrilled, relieved and SO grateful for her help. (Also, MAD bonus points for the darling goodie bag!) If you're a bride-to-be, you really should put this place on your list. read more

I went here to look for a wedding dress after having really bad buyers remorse for another gown I bought a few months ago from another bridal shop. JayJay made me feel so much better about the situation! She and her assistant, Olivia, really took care of me and listened to every like/dislike about the dresses I tried on so that they could find more of what I wanted. They're not pushy. It really is about you finding your dream dress. This is a great place to go get a gown! Highly recommend. read more

Thank goodness for TLC! I got my wedding dress from here after I had gone to several other places and was feeling a bit discouraged. The woman who helped me was so nice and was excellent at finding dresses that fit my style but also fit my figure well. I would say they have quite a wide range of prices, so I was able to find a dress in my budget. They made the experience so much fun, too, and they popped champagne when we found the dress! read more

TLC Bridal Boutique - On my wedding day with the dress I got from TLC! - Bridal Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

As an out of town bride at my first bridal appointment, I was super nervous! However, the woman who helped me was so kind! She allowed me to try on multiple dresses, and definitely eased my worries. I felt beautiful! Thanks, TLC Bridal! read more

I purchased my gown from TLC and I couldn't have been happier with how accommodating the women were when we came in. We were there past closing but never felt like we were being rushed out or pressured into a dress. When I went to pick my dress up we tried on some veils with it and none of them were what I wanted. There was one that matched my dress really well but I said multiple times it wasn't what i pictured. In my excitement I bought the veil because it matched the dress even though it was a lot more money than I intended to spend. I attempted to cancel the order the next day after some serious buyers remorse but was told it was impossible and there was nothing they could do. It didn't feel like they even cared that I was so upset over it. I wish I had been encouraged to take more time to decide based on the obvious hesitation I was showing while trying to pick the veil. In the end my veil was very pretty and did look great with my dress, which I adored, so it was fine. I just wish I hadn't felt like I had to settle with it. read more

I worked with Jay Jay and Terri and they were both great to work with. I came in to my appointment thinking I knew exactly what I wanted. After trying on a few dresses that matched my description of what I was looking for, something just wasn't right. Jay Jay suggested a dress that I never would be interested in trying on, and that one ended up being my dress! I will say that I have been to several other bridal shops and a lot of times the consultant is not friendly or willing to help but that was absolutely not the case with TLC. I would recommend them to anyone for bridal gowns! read more

TLC Bridal Boutique made this potentially stressful event absolutely enjoyable! We had a private appointment with food and champagne. JayJay made it extra special and provided us with chocolate covered strawberries and added pumpkin juice to our champagne. So delicious!! She was so helpful through my entire appointment, so I never felt pressured. With each dress, she new just what to add to complete the look- a little belt or a cute bird cage veil. She also let us take as many pictures as we wanted which is a MUST if you can't decide between two dresses and need some time to think it over. I just can't say enough good things about my experience there. All of their dresses were in my budget, so it was also great to be able to try on any dress in the shop and know I could afford it! read more

What an incredible experience! I am so glad I went to TLC to look for my wedding dress! Not only did I find a stunning gown but also a rehearsal dress, blusher, and monogrammed Oxford to wear on my wedding day. While I came away with multiple gorgeous items I did not once feel pressured to make a purchase. It was such an inviting environment with lovely ladies! The owner, JayJay, is an absolute delight to work with! JayJay and Suzi really listened to all my wishes and pulled a wide range of gowns, they didn't pull a single miss. JayJay was also extremely respectful of my budget and willing to work with me as I am visiting from out of town and having a destination wedding. If you're not looking to have an absolute blast with lots of laughs this may not be the place for you. But for anyone who wants a fun and memorable experience filled with lots of laughter and smiles I highly recommend checking out TLC! Thank you JayJay and Suzi for making hi my process so much fun and taking the stress out of hunting for the perfect dress. I am thrilled to have said YES at TLC! read more

These ladies are excellent! Suzi helped me pick out a gorgeous dress that looks beautiful on me. She helped me try on as many dresses as I wanted and really helped zone in on the parts of each dress that I liked so she could pick out a better dress for me to try on next. There was absolutely no pressure from her, or from Sondra when picking out our bridesmaids dresses. I did go to a different salon also, and they were very high pressure trying to get me to purchase a dress we didn't love. If I had to do this over again, I'd definitely pick TLC! read more

TLC Bridal Boutique - Suzi helped me find the most beautiful dress for me and my bridesmaids! So happy I chose TLC! - Bridal Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Excellent establishment! I'm so happy with my dress! There is a great selection and the service is outstanding!

I had the most AMAZING EXPERIENCE at TLC!! JayJay was extremely encouraging and made us all laugh and smile the entire time. The place is beautiful and the people who work there are professional, attentive and so much fun! The first 2 dresses I tried on I fell in love with, but she had me try on more to absolutely be sure it was down to those two and then I let my feelings make the final decision. 100% would recommend!! Will be going back for sure with my mother to have her try on some dresses for herself (a dress she will wear at our wedding that is) You will not be disappointed!! :) read more

Had a terrible experience yesterday. The consultant (Patty) was rude and treated my party like the entire situation was an inconvenience to her. She didn't listen to what I wanted and instead brought me dress after dress that SHE preferred for me. When I declined to try some of them on because they were not my style, she acted like it was a personal insult. Patty ruined what should have been a fun experience and I would recommend that not only do brides go elsewhere, but Patty get a new job, because clearly this is not the profession for her. read more

I bought my wedding dress from TLC back in 2010 and when my cousin got engaged this winter, she also purchased her wedding dress there. Now I am going back a third time as the matron of honor for the cousin's wedding and AGAIN the service was great. I am very happy with TLC Bridal. We went to a number of places in the DC area (including Nordstrom, David's Bridal and Bella Bridesmaid). No where else did we get the same service and respect that we received here. They do not have the largest selection of Bridesmaid dresses, but I found so many that looked great! Some places are very controlling of what they show you and the amount of time you are given. We were also able to try on items outside of our initial idea of what was wanted and ended up going for a style and color that we had not expected to love. We were also not rushed to make a decision or charged the "rush" prices some salons insisted were needed. In closing, the whole experience was enjoyable and isn't that what planning your wedding should be? read more

TLC Bridal is excellent place to shop and get alterations done. Trudy helps women get their dream dresses as well as help men customize their suits for any occasion. She is truly an exceptional businesswoman who strives to give her customers nothing but the best. I give this bridal shop a 100% for my overall experience! read more

Do not EVER shop here! I have been to 6 different places to try on wedding dresses. This is the only place that charged me money to make an appointment. You would think that once you show up for it, you'd get your money back. You don't. They don't charge $25 on Fridays but they charged me for coming in on a Friday because there was a Lillian West event. I had no idea about this event. When we went for our appointment, we were the only ones there. I was not told about this Lillian West event at my appointment what so ever. So I paid $25 for an event that I knew nothing about. When I asked why I was charged $25, the Owner said in a nasty voice, "We charge because we are good at what we do and we don't want people coming in here playing dress up." How rude. I had a dress on hold that I was going to buy on Monday but I told them to take it off because they were so rude. All over $25. I will never spend my money here again and I encourage no one else to!! I will make sure everyone knows about my experience! read more

Had an awesome experience!! My cousin came down from NY to look for wedding gowns! We were greeted right away, warmly and extremely friendly! Appointment was laid back, no pushing, no pressure!!! Found an AWESOME DRESS!! Prices are extremely reasonable!!! Gorgeous dresses, great selection!!! Overall VERY happy with TLC!!! read more

My mom called to make us an appointment about a week in advance. My future mother-in-law is notoriously late so I wanted to make the appointment at 2. My mom said the woman said they only did appointments every 2 hours, ending at 3pm. She said there were a little reluctant to give her appointment at 2pm because they had a bride scheduled at 1pm. Not sure why this was a problem because they had two dressing rooms and two mirrors set up in the room. Anyway, when I got there I was immediately greeted with my helper (I can't remember her name!) at the top of the stairs. She let me pick out a few dresses. I liked the first one I tried on, but continued to try on others until MIL showed up. Sue, who must have finished with an appointment, began to pick out dresses also. Well, she picked out THE dress. It was beautiful. They said they had just gotten this particular dress the week prior and I was the first to wear it. It was a little over budget, but they offered me $100 off. Very good experience. Mom may have just been a little sensitive in regards to the phone call. read more

I am writing this from a bridesmaid point of view. I called and made an appointment to bring the bride and her bridal party to try on dresses. That all worked out fine, but the vibe when I walked in the door was not so pleasant. The bride was already in the dressing area putting on a dress with Sue. When the bride came out she did not look happy, even with her support team trying to cheer her on. So as she was looking in the mirror trying to determine her thoughts on the dress the bridal party was asking questions about other dresses - to include a dress that was in the window. Sue immediately said 'oh that dress is discontinued and won't fit the bride anyway.' I was astonished. Further along in the dress trying process the lights went out and Sue advised that it was closing time and that we only had a few more minutes left for the bride to try on dresses. After the bride was dressed we were able to go upstairs and look at the few bridesmaid dresses, however not really given any direction. I'm not sure if Sue was ready for us to leave, or she was ready to go home, but there certainly were more brides coming in the door as we left. We attempted to go visit another bridal store in the area, but had no luck. Therefore we ended up at Davids Bridal in Rockville where the bride was attended too like she deserved to be, which is what should be expected of a high end store with good reviews. We will be finding another bridal store that is willing to assist, make the bride happy and make a sale. read more

Fantastic experience. All the ladies were very knowledgeable, positive, and helpful. They really work as a team and know their stuff. It made dress shopping here really enjoyable. I felt comfortable trying on the dresses with them and confident in their advice. **UPDATE** After the rave review I posted when I ordered my wedding dress this fall, I feel obligated to provide an update as my experience picking up my dress was disappointing. The dress was not as I expected it to be based on what the ladies had advised me when I was choosing a dress. I noticed a certain look to the fabric, asked them about it, and they told me that it was this way because the dress had been tried on so many times as a sample, but when mine arrived in it would look fresh. I discovered this was not true when I picked up my dress - that look is simply the nature of the fabric. After picking up the dress, I thought a lot about what happened and felt a bit deceived. No one wants to be disappointed in her wedding dress, but I felt particularly badly about it because I trusted them and I chose to buy here instead of a place I could have ordered it cheaper because I thought TLC would be better to work with, which did not turn out to be the case. TLC has a nice and affordable selection of dresses, and are polite to try dresses on with, but I would not trust their advice or guidance again as ultimately I found it to be misleading. read more

Stop looking for the best spot to find your dress-- it is 100% at TLC Bridal Boutique in downtown Frederick! From corresponding with owner JayJay before my appointment to PICKING OUT MY GORGEOUS DRESS to coming into the shop to search for accessories, JayJay and her team (shoutout to Suzi and Sue) were nothing short of incredible. They are the most down-to-earth, fun-loving ladies you could meet and hope to hang out with as you search for "the one." JayJay and her team are knowledgeable and professional. They know how to narrow down what you're looking for, encourage you try out different styles if that's what you want to do, and are more than happy to let you go back and forth between dresses or continue your search at their shop or elsewhere (however, I'm betting that you find your dress at TLC with them). They DO NOT pressure you in any type of way, and they understand the significant investment that a bride is making when she purchases a dress. The staff at TLC are kind, thoughtful, and HILARIOUS, and I guarantee you and your friends/fam will have an amazing time searching for your perfect gown, and the likelihood is that you'll find it there! Even after I purchased my dress, the ladies at TLC were happy for me to come back in and gave me just as much attention when searching for a veil/accessories. I couldn't have imagined a better dress-buying experience, honestly. I cannot recommend TLC Bridal Boutique enough. Call or email to make your appointment with them-- you won't regret it! read more

I was absolutely dreading having to shop for my mother of the bride dress after a recent awful experience elsewhere. As time was running out, armed with a recommendation and a great big nudge from a friend, I made an appointment at TLC Bridal Boutique. From the initial phone conversation, to walking through their doors, to actually trying on dresses and making a purchase, the experience was a joy! JayJay & Susie did everything and more to make myself & my daughters feel comfortable. They took their time helping me in and out of many gowns, discussing what & why we did or did not like about each. I never felt rushed or unimportant but instead, was made to feel quite special and dare I even say, pretty! My only regret is that I didn't go to TLC sooner. After having experience with both of my daughters' weddings & many bridal shops in general, I truly cannot stress enough how absolutely fabulous TLC is. JayJay and Susie are the very best of the best at what they do and as far as I'm concerned, they're now my new BFFs!! Treat yourself, go shop at TLC Bridal, you will not be disappointed. read more
