Avenir Bridal Boutique

they do an amazing Black Friday deal. When I paid for my dress, they give you the cutest free tote I’ve been bragging about, a choice of 3 sweatshirts, and a pen. My entire experience was amazing! All their dresses are reasonably priced. I cannot recommend this place enough.

el gorgeous in all of the dresses I tried on, she listened to all of my feedback on each dress to help select better ones as we went, she made my guests feel so included and welcome, and she was the best cheerleader/consultant I could've asked for. She listened to me and what I wanted and that truly helped me find the perfect dress. I recommend this boutique to any- and all brides!

their wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses!

y helped me find the dress of my dreams.

my comfort being key. Amanda was fantastic to work with; she was helpful without being overbearing, offered her opinion if asked but never in a manner that overstepped, and made it very clear that she was there to make me feel and look my best. She very much followed my lead and let me think out loud and process without ever making my feel rushed - she really understood the gravity of the decision I was making and did everything to make it less anxiety inducing and more of what it should be - fun! I would highly recommend Avenir to anyone on their wedding dress journey.

as looking for, and stayed in my price range. It was a perfect experience. Dresses are beautiful and they have so many to choose from. I was able to say “Yes to the Dress” the same day of my appointment because of the helpful staff at Avenir!

my thoughts for each dress I tried on. I was so happy to say YES to my dress the very same day!!!

st place I went to go dress shopping and I was very lucky to have found my dress here in the same day. Amazing experience and everyone was very nice, helpful, and informative. Thank you Avenir for helping me find my wedding dress.

to all of my concerns or desires with the dresses. She pulled exactly what I was looking for and even though I was very indecisive about designs she was very sweet in helping me pick out dresses and narrow down to the one! The store is absolutely beautiful, extremely clean, and all of the staff were just so nice. I had a really bad experience at a big brand retailer and my experience at Avenir was the opposite. It was warm, welcoming, no pressure for sales and staff who genuinely want to help you pick the dress for you. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

ow down my style and give me suggestions throughout the process.

was as amazing as I expected. Amanda was patient, kind, encouraging and had my dress of my dreams picked out for me before I even saw it! The amount of care and consideration that goes into their process to make brides feel beautiful and welcomed is clear. As a more mid-size/plus bride I was nervous about my choices- this location was the first that had more than just 3!!! My options actually were more than 10+! I felt ten times more beautiful than when I arrived, and I’m counting down the days until my big day. Great staff. Quick response. Heart warming experience. I could speak for hours about how thankful I am that I chose this location for my dress. Thank you Amanda and to the whole Avenir team!!- Lindsey P.S. they have cute accessories like jean jackets and more… totally budgeting for that when I pick up my dress :)

appointments so far from the initial dress shopping to alterations/fitting; the staff has been wonderful and amazing every time. Thank you so much!

uld pull dresses that matched my vision. The ladies at the shop are friendly, warm, and welcoming. My mom and I had a blast! We choose the first dress I tried on, which was the dress that was pre-selected by the boutique based on the information I provided them. I can't wait until my dress is in! I'm so happy to be an Avenir bride!

he dress! Highly recommended Avenir :)

my family. I loved all the dresses. Thank you again

sonalized the experience was, we felt so comfortable through the whole thing. Thank you all so much for one of the best days of my life! Jessica

ne that met exactly what I was looking for. The option to rent the salon is absolutely the way to go - they let my wedding planner set up a little station for us with some snacks and we had the entire place to ourselves. It was such an incredible experience and I will never forget it. Thank you so much!

ue, but that is exactly what I needed. The one on one and specialized attention to everything is exactly what I needed throughout the entire wedding planning process. They honored a discount I missed because I bought my dress from them after the 2nd time I went their instead of the 1st time. They have a wide variety of dresses and styles and made me feel very comfortable with shopping. I am a plus bride and they had a great selection of plus dresses. If they didn't have your size, they certainly made it so you could fit and look beautiful. Their encouragement was wonderful! They also have great sales, which is where I got all of my wedding jewelry from. They have wonderful package deals to purchase from and they include items I never even considered. Avenir alters and does dress preservation. With me coming from NC, Avenir was extremely patient with me.

table and adored and I can’t wait for my dress to come in to start alterations! Highly recommend Avenir for ALL your bridal needs (:

a small fee to order another sample for something you like online. It was a wonderful experience!

ion prior too. But let me tell you I had nothing to worry about and I was so wrong! The store is lovely and has the best selection so far in my opinion! Prior to my appointment they reached out and asked for inspiration photos. By this time I had already been to 3 other dress shops prior. I finally had a vision and type of dress I wanted. So when emailing my inspirations I also explained what I was looking for. When you first walk in there is the front desk on the right hand side. Then walking past the desk there is dressing on the right and left side. There is a large mirror in the middle with seating around it. They also have another mirror they adjust for you to be able to see the back of the dress. They also had some other dresses towards the back which I believe are more so for mothers, bridesmaids. There are 2 dressing rooms that I can remember. The dresser room are a nice size and enough space to have help to put on dresses. They were located in the back left of the store. I did not get a chance to look at any dresses on the rack which I was totally fine with. I worked with Sarah and the selections she picked for me were so amazing. They were so great that at the end I had 3 favorites I couldn't decide on. They also were the first store to really have everything I wanted with my dress. Sarah was absolutely amazing! I was so stunned at what she picked out for me. She also was helpful and said areas I didn't like exposed could be filled in/costume. She even took some photos and videos with my phone. My mom was there but her photos can be a bit blurry, lol. The only reason I didn't say yes, just yet is because my mom was the only one there and again I was having a hard time deciding. I have a follow-up with my maid of honors to be there. I cannot wait to return to re-try the 3 dresses I love. I added all the dresses I tried on while there. Either way would highly recommend coming here!

size female who was very insecure about my weight, they made me feel great about myself when I tried some dresses on. I would recommend them to every first time bride. They took very great care of me. My first few minutes there I said Yes to a dress. Thank you so much Avenir Bridal Boutique!!!!!

n, and Sarah are amazing and they know exactly how to find your perfect wedding dress!! There was nothing less than the best each time I was at their boutique. Amanda and Sarah not only helped find my dress, Anzen was able to create beautiful custom sleeves to help complete my dream vision! Avenir Bridal Boutique has the most gorgeous gowns to choose from, but these ladies are truly what make this shop exceptional!!

at fit me best and what I preferred!!! Amanda’s attention to my desires was so appreciated! Definitely worth the trip from the Virginia Beach area to visit them!!

ike a David's Bridal. At David's Bridal, you are surrounded by other brides also trying on their dresses. It's loud and noisy and you can hardly think. At Avenir, I was the ONLY bride in the store during my appointment!! And that is not an exaggeration! The organization of the store was also awesome! They had it organized by style and by price. Sarah was my consultant and she was also the sweetest!! Helped me picked out dresses, but was not overbearing and I was not pressured into anything. She was so uplifting and very encouraging. I did find my dress that day at Avenir and all the ladies in the shop were extremely helpful, even when it came to ordering my dress. They told me I should get it hemmed a certain way when they go to order it so I do not lose the design in the bottom of the dress. It was an extra $30 for that but I did it anyways. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know looking for dresses!! They have also helped me setup an appointment for my bridal party to go and try on dresses within the next couple of months. Could not have had or asked for a better experience with Avenir Bridal Boutique!!! :)

ed off gives each future bride and her family/friends privacy. Amanda helped me to find my dress and she is absolutely AMAZING! She was actively listening to my likes and dislikes with each dress and would pull dresses based on what I was saying as I was trying them on. She wasn't pushy at all and really cared about being there to help! I can't recommend this place enough!

were incredibly patient and kind. Though I did not find my dress there. I would recommend each bride visit for a fabulous experience.

in, and when I arrived at the appointment one of the dresses on my list that I wasn’t expecting to be available was there for me to try on. I was so excited, and it ended up being the dress I chose for my wedding day. The entire experience was so easy, and it made for a very fun day for me and my mom. I could not recommend this bridal boutique enough for other brides!

he dresses in the store until it’s what you want no pressure, it’s definitely something for everyone at Avenir . I went to Avenir Bridal Boutique alone, I was scared and nervous being a first time bride, Amanda made me feel comfortable and like family, I wouldn’t of made my purchase anywhere else. Thank you Amanda

yself. My mom and MOH started to cry when I put on the dress that I would ultimately say yes to. I started to cry and when I looked back, Sarah was tearing up to. It was exactly like everyone says picking out your dress should feel and I think that’s largely in part from Sarah and the rest of the Avenir team. Thank you for letting me walk around the shop in my dress for thirty minutes after having already put it on three times. So happy to be an Avenir Bride.

smaller store, the more one on one experience, the calmness. Amanda and Anzen are both so kind and welcoming. Amanda helped pick out my dress and Anzen did my alterations that I requested. I'm using their preservation option, literally a one stop shop for my dress. So convenient and would highly recommend them to any future bride!

I was taking my dad for dinner when I saw the boutique. The sign on the door said appointments only. Something told me to go in. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Sara. She had this great vibe and personality that made me wanna set an appointment at the boutique. I shopped around for a few and then set the appointment. The day of my appointment came and I was beyond ecstatic! I had tried on 5 dresses and the very last dress was everything I wanted and more. Sara helped me each step of the way always making sure the appointment was about me and what I wanted. She was so kind and even found the perfect veil to match my dress to a tee! I had the this is the one moment and she was so excited to have it with me. My mother passed away this past June and it was a hard day to buy the dress of your dreams without your best friend. Sara just made everything better. Thank you again!

so kind and helpful while I was choosing my dress that we picked bridesmaids dresses from them as well! Anzen did the alterations for my wedding dress and a few of my bridesmaids and did a fabulous job. I have recommended this shop to a few of my friends and will continue to!! THANK YOU Amanda and Anzen for being so patient and kind!!💗

ntly live in Northern VA. I made the trip down to Chesapeake to select a gown so my mother could be part of the process and Amanda has made the process absolutely worth it. I had no idea what I wanted going into the shop, but the few details I could provide led to me finding the perfect dress. The shop itself is adorable and welcoming! Myself, four bridesmaids, and mother were very comfortable in the dressing area and thank god for Amanda helping me get in and out of so many dresses. She helped me find something that made me feel beautiful and comfortable and I can't thank her and Avenir enough for their warmth and spectacular service!

n her over the phone. They have such a wide variety of dresses to choose from, it’s not hard to find “the one!” If you are looking for a relaxed and fun experience Avenir Bridal is the place to be!

ighly recommended.

ress/designer. The dress and several similar ones were already pulled waiting for me. They even found a dress similar to one I had my eye on online. I am completely torn between two dresses so have not completed my purchase as of yet, but they were so helpful with listening to what I envisioned and then helping me enhance that vision! I highly recommend Avenir Bridal!

stuffy and rude, it was nothing like that here, if you are looking for a fun and special experience while finding your dream dress, this is your place!

knowledgeable about plus size gowns and brought me such beautiful options, that it was hard to choose. The ladies here are super pleasant and patient. It was the greatest ambiance to have when finding the perfect dress. Avenir was my one stop shop for finding my dream gown and veil.
