I had the most incredible experience working with Clara at Ashley Grace Bridal! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Clara took the time to listen to exactly what I was looking for and helped guide me toward dresses that matched my vision—without overwhelming me. She was so knowledgeable and patient, offering thoughtful suggestions but never pushing me in any direction.
What stood out the most was her ability to understand my style and make me feel confident in every dress I tried on. She made the whole process fun and enjoyable, and I ended up finding the perfect dress that I never would've imagined trying on without her guidance. I can’t thank her enough for making my wedding dress shopping experience so special and memorable.
If you’re looking for a personalized, stress-free experience with someone who truly cares about finding the perfect dress for you, I highly recommend working with Clara! She’s the best!

Just amazing! The experience, staff, and building were professional and lovely. The stylist who helped me, Alyssa, was knowledgable and attentive. She picked out the dress that I ended up purchasing! I was done before my appointment finished, which shows how quickly they were able to help me find the perfect one. Definitely recommend this place. Top tier in every way.

I had the most incredible experience at Ashley Grace! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness by the staff, who made me feel right at home. The store itself is absolutely beautiful, with a wide selection of dresses that were both elegant and unique.
The consultant who helped me (Layla) was absolutely amazing—she listened to my vision, offered helpful suggestions, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. She made the entire process so enjoyable and stress-free, which I never expected! I tried on several dresses, and when I found "the one," it was such a special moment, and I couldn't have been happier.
I highly recommend Ashley Grace to any bride-to-be—it’s worth every bit of praise! Thank you for helping me find my dream dress! <3

Every trip to Ashley Grace was so fun, and handled with so much care. They helped me find my dream dress when I truly had no idea what that dream was! The shop is so light and clean, and every lovely lady that works there will help make sure you find the dress (and accessories!) that really make you feel like a bride. And if you don't know what you're looking for, they will also be so patient with you as you try on several dresses of just about every style, and they will hype you up the whole time! But most importantly, they can tell how you feel about a dress, even if you aren't sure or if you have some backseat drivers in the crowd. All they care about is how you feel about it, and their only goal is to help you find that perfect dress for your big day. I will recommend Ashley Grace forever!

Ladies, I promise you picking this bridal shop is the best decision you can make for getting your dress! I had been so anxious and worried about dress shopping, especially being a plus size (18-20) girl who feels like nothing looks right on me. I arrived for my appointment, to this absolutely beautiful store, and instantly received the warmest welcome from the consultants right there at the front desk. My consultant Clara blew me away by how special she made me feel as a client. She never rushed me, never pressured me and found me the most beautiful dresses to try on in my size and right under my budget! I could not believe the selection of gorgeous dresses, but was even more shocked at the fact she just knew my dress size without asking/measuring and they fit PERFECTLY. Not only was I impressed by the selection of dresses in my size but I was amazed at the fact I actually loved how I looked in them. I am so picky, but she paid close attention to what I liked and didn't like, and she was an expert at finding me the best dress. Clara was so attentive, comforting and made my experience feel so personalized. She was absolutely exceptional and I have no complaints whatsoever about this place! The dresses were so stunning and after narrowing it down to two, I finally decided which one was my absolute favorite one! And now I finally have my wedding dress! And I feel so confident and beautiful in it.
I had such an amazing experience here today I came home and teared up with happiness telling my fiance how amazing this place is! Thank you to all the staff for your professionalism and kindness!

Myself, my mother, and my to-be mother-in-law walked in a little early for my appointment and they were nothing but accommodating and friendly. Everyone there was upbeat and supportive of my dress-searching session. I got to go out onto the floor with my stylist and it was so much fun to feel really involved in the process. Christina had only been working there a month and had great energy. Good luck to everyone and I hope you have as great a time as I did at Ashley Grace!

They listened to what I liked, didn’t like, and was patient with me every step of the way! I felt extremely beautiful and taken care of!! Highly recommend to all brides and she gave me guidance on so many different things throughout my visit! Lauren you are the absolute best! Thank you for making my day so special! Thank you for talking to me at the Bridal Expo!

WOW! I would 100% buy my dress here again!! The experience I had at AGB was absolutely amazing. I had visited several bridal stores before coming to Ashley Grace Bridal and to say I was shocked is an understatement. I had previously gone to a very popular bridal shop in Roanoke, where their gowns reach prices up to $6,000, unlike AGB. I would have thought that the experience I received there would be the best, but that wasn't until I came here! I was first greeted by their wonderful staff and escorted to their PRIVATE fitting room. This room itself was gorgeous, it had plenty of seating and just felt more personal than being thrown into the middle of a store. They also had infused water, HOT apple cider, and cookies for our enjoyment (which was great! No where else even offered us water!). Martha was my consultant and she was GREAT!! Martha was so knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process. Weddings can be really complicated, especially when you have no experience with them, so when Martha was giving us helpful tips on literally everything we were so appreciative. Martha listened to what I wanted and even picked the dress that I said Yes to! They even had a faux bouquet for me to hold while trying on the dress, which really helped me picture my wedding day! No other store had this either ;). I wanted to buy literally any dress here because of the wonderful experience we had. After purchasing your dress they even give you some gifts, which again nowhere else did that either!! All in all, if you are looking for a bridal store to shop for your dress, this is the place to do it!

I loved my experience with AGB! I visited one other salon prior to my appointment with AGB with no luck, Walking into their lobby was like a breath of fresh air. My guests and I were greeted immediately and shown to our private room. Everyone was very attentive and kind. My stylist was receptive, patient, and so sweet. She ended up pulling the dress I chose and I am incredibly grateful for her! I highly recommend AGB!

My experience at Ashley Grace was so perfect! Initially, we were afraid I would not be able to find a dress in time (or budget) because our wedding is so soon, but there were so many beautiful dresses I was able to try on! It was my first experience ever with wedding dress shopping and it was so fun and exciting! I was nervous at first, but they were so supportive and helpful, guiding me through a process that I knew nothing about. They were very patient with me, as I was slow with changing because of recent foot surgery, and let me try on the dresses multiple times (because I am indecisive). It was an intimate and wonderful time with my mother & bridesmaids, and I walked out with the dress of my dreams that was VERY affordable! (Also, Ashley Grace Bridal is SO beautiful and fun to walk around!).

I’m not joking - I had the absolute best experience. My stylist was kind, respectful, and advocated for me from the beginning. I had to cancel another appointment - and they took $100 off my dress since the cancellation lost me $50. I mean they are just all around wonderful.

AGB has the best selection of dresses by far. I’ve been to other shops and they don’t compete. Elyse was so helpful, let me try on so many dresses and even though I couldn’t decide the first time, when I came back, she pulled all of my favorites and I ended up choosing a different one! She took all my pics/videos and made me feel comfortable and super important. Loved my experience here and would highly recommend!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I went to a bridal store the day before my appointment with Ashley Grace and I felt like as a plus size bride, I got put in the same dresses essentially and nothing blew me away. I came to Ashley Grace and the first dress my consultant brought into the room was it! I tried on several more but still came back to the first. She made me feel so loved and heard as a plus size bride and she had a special eye to finding the right dress for me! Thanks y’all! I drove 4.5 hours to this studio and it was WORTH IT!

My bridal experience was amazing at Ashley Grace Bridal! The consultant, Martha, basically hand picked my dress after a description of what I was looking for. She was so helpful, super sweet, and very patient! My mom and I drove to Lynchburg from Richmond and it was SO worth the drive. I never felt rushed despite the fact that we went over the appointment time or pressured into buying anything. They have a huge inventory of dresses. There were so many lovely personal touches! Highly recommend going to Ashley Grace to find your wedding dress!

Ashley Grace has been amazing! I thought I knew what I wanted in a dress early on in the process based off of Pinterest, but after ordering it and starting alterations I was not liking the way it fit me anymore. I went back to Ashley Grace less than 2 months before my wedding and left with a dress that I absolutely love! Martha and Lauren were both so helpful with finding the best dress for my body type that I felt both beautiful and confident in. I felt so encouraged by everyone at Ashley Grace and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Absolutely loved my dress shopping experience here. My consultant Bradley was so patient and kind with me. I didn’t know what I wanted going in and got distracted looking at all the pretty gowns but she was able to identify what I liked and find me not 1 but 2 perfect dresses to choose between. All of this while staying within my budget. I was very impressed with the selection of gowns I could try on as a size 14. Would highly recommend!

I can’t sing Ashley Grace’s praises loud enough. The store is beautiful and our group had a private suite. Toni is amazing and knew exactly what would flatter my body shape. I felt like a princess and even though I went over my budget, the experience alone was worth every penny. It was one of the most special moments of my life. Thank you, Toni!
