Review Spotlight: "If you want the best wedding dress shopping experience, Sincerely Yours is the place to go. Melanie is an absolute dream to work with! She is patient and kind, and so knowledgeable about dresses and the wedding dress industry. It only took me trying on a few dresses for her to get the feedback she needed to help me find my perfect dress. She pulled the dress I chose and I could not love it more. It is everything I wanted and I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She only works with the very best companies so you can be sure to find a perfect and high quality dress. We purchased all our bridesmaid and flower girl dresses here as well. Every experience with Melanie was wonderful and I could not recommend her and her shop enough!"—Kara F., The Knot Vendor Marketplace

Review Spotlight: "This was the third shop I'd visited, and I hadn't yet found a dress I could see myself in on my wedding day. I brought my vision and details to Emily and she found me the one! I only tried on a few since I knew the look I wanted, and Emily definitely understood what I was looking for! The energy in the shop was so comforting, and prior to walking in I felt very anxious about finding my dress. The ambiance put me at ease and Emily was very helpful with any questions I had, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. I did not feel rushed at all, and I only wish I had visited this shop earlier! Would definitely recommend." —Heather M., The Knot Vendor Marketplace
House of Curves

Shopping for gowns when plus-size doesn't have to be a stressful or upsetting experience here: it's meant to be a safe and comfortable space.
Review Spotlight: "Honestly, shopping for wedding dresses has been a nightmare. Shops did not carry the dress I wanted in my size, and the ordering process was not an ideal experience in picking a dress that maybe I wouldn't love on my body. I decided I was done with bridal shops and was just going to rush delivery from a shop online. My mother dragged me to House of Curves and I am so grateful for the experience. Satin was patient, attentive, and willing to work with us on payment options. The quality of the dresses in the shop are fantastic as well as diverse in texture. Satin took my measurements and snatched my waist up so that I could visualize how the dress would look on my body. She then coordinated with the designer THAT DAY to put a rush on my dress order with customizations. The attention and care that I received in that boutique are really what every bride wants for the big day, and they really accommodate all sizes." —Heather N., The Knot Vendor Marketplace
Savvy Bridal
A really beautiful shop in historic Lafayette Square, Savvy Bridal aims to make every dress shopping experience more special.

Designers sold include Anora, Eva Lendel, and WONA Bridal.
Review Spotlight: "Tatjana made my first wedding dress shopping experience so enjoyable! I had very few ideas in mind of what I liked and wanted and she knocked every pick out of the park. I appreciated the leading questions she asked as I have a hard time sharing/forming thoughts on this type of stuff. I left Savvy feeling beautiful and confident in what I want for my big day!" —Brittany K. The Knot Vendor Marketplace

Review Spotlight: "I had the best experience at Mia Grace Bridal, I arrived with my group and everyone there was super kind and welcoming. Madison was my consultant and she did an amazing job knowing my style and preferences before I ever arrived thanks to their look book option on their portal. They had so many amazing styles to try. I went back a second time to try on my top two choices and Lindsay and Madison and the whole team were once again fantastic. I visited another bridal shop and among other things what stood out about Mia Grace was how clean everything was from the dresses to the salon. So happy with my experience here and can't wait to see them all again when my dress arrives" —Christin P., The Knot Vendor Marketplace
