I DO I DO

ally what makes the entire experience memorable and fun! I am so happy I found my dress here and Tracy helped me every step of the way. Picking a dress can be overwhelming especially for an indecisive person like my self. But I didn't feel overwhelmed at all at I Do I Do and they helped me to solidify my decision and made me feel so confident! I had been to other shops where the consultants were not personable and just wanted to get the appointment over with, which does not make you want to get a dress from them. This is not the case at I Do I Do. They are not pushy and are not just trying to make a sale, they are flexible and really want you to feel comfortable and happy in your decision. They are a great team. I didn't expect to have a "moment" and be emotional but I did here, and left on a happiness high that lasted the rest of the weekend! I am so happy I got my dress with them and am so excited! Thank you Leanne & Tracy!

work with and put no pressure on me to buy a dress that wasn't perfect for me. She gave me plenty of time to think and provided great feedback about each dress. The seamstress that the salon works with, Lola, is an absolute delight and did an amazing job on my dress!

ing was originally planned for 2020 but got moved. I do I do held onto my dress for safe keeping for an extra year. I cannot say enough great things about this company!

but for me, that made the experience as we had the salon to ourselves.

n my own. Otherwise, very friendly service and a great selection.

as looking for, and even pulled dresses in advance that fit my style and budget before I arrived. I wanted to stay under $1500 for my dress, and had far more options here than at other bridal salons that I had visited. One of the dresses she pulled didn’t look like much on the hanger but once I put it on and she clipped it into place, I knew it was the dress. We bought off the rack to avoid COVID/shipping delays, and she was even able to find a missing button that had fallen off the dress so that I could get it re-attached. They have great customer service, a huge range of styles, and all in all provide a really fantastic experience!

I never felt rushed. They have many options and can work with any budget. I ordered my dress, prior to the pandemic, in Oct 2019. Even with the all the constraints from the pandemic, they helped me get my dress 6 months later when it arrived at their store. I live in South Carolina and they made the process seamless.

ed all my questions, and helped me get in and out of each gown. She was very patient. It was such an enjoyable experience! I ended up saying yes to my perfect gown. The seamstress (Lola) was a delight to work with. She really understood my needs and was so professional and sweet. I got married on July 17 and received so many compliments on my beautiful gown. I emailed I Do I Do to get some clarification about the cleaning and preserving process and the emails back were quick and clear. I recently made an appointment to drop off my dress to have it professionally cleaned. Another great experience with I Do I Do. I highly recommend I Do I Do!

a fantastic selection at very reasonable prices. Be sure to include I Do I Do on your wedding dress search!

e selection of dresses!

idal party and ordered them, one less thing on the endless planning list. Unfortunately, they were Alfred Angelo dresses which went out of business a couple months after we had ordered them! So now I had to do some last minute scrambling to find something that worked. Some of my bridesmaids lived out of state and one was pregnant so I needed something with a similar style and my chosen color of teal was a bit hard to match. I found another dress at another store that worked and fit all the requirements. I Do I Do ordered them for us and covered the extra cost as the dresses were more expensive than I had wanted my bridal party to pay for. For a situation that could have gone so wrong, this company helped it go smoothly. I was so surprised and grateful for how they handled this. I truly would recommend I Do I Do to anyone!

oes their alterations was amazing! Reasonably priced and again worked around my schedule without issue. I highly recommend this shop!

t my first appointment wanting to think a little more before purchasing my dress, Tracy made herself available for me to come back a few days later to try the dress on again and make my final decision which is exactly what I needed to make the final decision. We ran into a bit of an issue with the dress designer, my dress did not pass quality control and was delayed, this could have been my worst nightmare but Tracy stayed on top of the situation and kept me updated every step of the way and my dress arrived with plenty of time for alterations! Their seamstress onsite, Lola did an amazing job making my dress fit like a glove! I am so happy I purchased my dress there and would recommend I Do I Do to any bride!

tely amazing and basically reconstructed the top of my dress after I lost about ten pounds before my wedding. I also bought my veil and hair clip from there. It’s really a one stop shop. I’m in the process of consigning my dress with I Do I Do. The process is fairly easy, because I bought my dress from them they waived the admin fee. They try to sell the dress for 10 months with the possibility for extending a few more months after that point. Will update if/when I resell the dress. I would definitely shop at I Do I Do again!

e my appointment ran over. They have a wide selection of new and consigned dresses so you have a lot of options. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming and just chats with you about life. I love it there and would go back in a heartbeat.

pulled several more until I stepped into “the one”. It was getting late but we didn’t feel rushed at all. Once we ordered, they kept us up to date on order time, arrival, and pickup. Also, we loved their seamstress (G2G Couture) so much that my mother brought a dress she had already bought for major alterations as well. My dress fit like a glove when Lola was finished, and she made all of the lace perfect even though we had to take out inches of fabric on the sheer back. These women made my dress experience a dream. Thank you!

in thinking I would just try some dresses on to see what styles suited me, but my attendant Michelle hit it out of the park and found me the perfect dress right off a mannequin's back (and below budget)! I would highly recommend this store - there is no pressure to buy anything, and Michelle was super helpful finding a dress that had all the lace i could want without blowing my budget. I also got my dress altered by the store's contracted tailor, Lola, and she was a pleasure to work with. She even dropped my dress off when it was finished as I didn't have time to swing by the store!

. Tracy listened to my ideas about what dresses I pictured for myself, what type of wedding I was having, and the price range of my budget. She then had my mom and I pull dresses we liked from the racks that fell in my price range and she and her assistant pulled others and asked with each one what I thought and if I'd like to try it on. As I took my time trying on 5-6 different dresses I never felt rushed or pressured. I ended up loving one and decided that day on a dress that Tracy had pulled for me (it was actually the first one she pulled, but not the first one I tried on). She also picked out the perfect veil to match. I ordered both in early November and the veil arrived in January, the dress arrived in late April. I was able to pick up both in late May with the perfect amount of time for some standard alterations by my late September wedding.

could be squeezed in since my mom and sister were only in town for the weekend! The studio and my consultant, Tracy, went above and beyond to help me find my dream dress! I had a morning appointment and it was my first time trying on wedding dresses, so my preferences were all over the place. Tracy listened to all my feedback, asked questions to my group and I, and respected my budget. I left the studio without a dress, but called back five hours later after having a terrible experience at a different studio. At the second studio I redefined what I was looking for as a wedding dress. I called Tracy back to inquire if she could squeeze me in on Monday before my mom and sister flew home to see if we could find a dress with my redefined search criteria. Tracy insisted that I come back immediately so she could dedicate her full attention to us, even though that meant I would be arriving 10 minutes before they closed! I drove back to the studio from northern Virginia and Tracy helped me find my dream dress! Although they were closed, they applied no pressure for a decision and made the whole purchasing process completely flawless. I can’t express how wonderful Tracy was during the whole adventure! In addition, after my appointment at the different studio, it was truly eye opening to how wonderful the whole studio is. The studio was bright, clean, organized, had a wide variety of selections for gowns, bridesmaids dresses and accessories, and the layout allowed for a more private feel. Although other brides were trying on dresses, I felt our group was somewhat isolated which gave it a very personalized feeling. Overall, making an appointment at I Do I Do is one of the best decisions you can make! Requesting Tracy is another great decision, but from my limited interactions with the other consultants it is evident they all are professional, personal and experienced.

essful day for me much, much better than it could have been. Eleanor listened to what I wanted, and then helped me think outside the box with different designers and styles. The dress was ordered at the end of May and arrived at the end of September. Lola did the alterations for my dress- she was so lovely to work with!! I moved out of state 6 months before my wedding, and Lola worked with my schedule to do the fittings when I was in town for the weekend. That included last minute alterations 2 days before the wedding. Lola also altered my mother’s wedding veil so that it would work with my dress. Lola is a total pro, who will make you feel both comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend working with both Eleanor and Lola for your wedding day!!

ly short timeline. Great customer service and a great selection of beautiful dresses!

. The salesperson helped me find the dresses in my size and price range, and then we did the fitting. I was almost ready to give up, when she brought me one I had overlooked -- it was perfect! Even though the size was slightly bigger than what I wear, I was able to try it on and see what it would look like with alterations. I felt amazing on my wedding! The dress was gorgeous, and I paid a fraction of what I would have paid full-price. A great experience!

and she was amazing! She was helpful without being intrusive, she was kind, and she clearly knew what she was doing. The dress I picked was one of the consignment dresses, was in great condition, and was in my budget (even I was surprised I stayed in budget!). Would definitely recommend this store!

that suited my style even though I came to the appointment without a clear idea of what I wanted. The first dress she had me try on was the one I ended up buying. She was professional and helpful without making me feel pressured to buy that day. All of the dresses were gorgeous and affordable. Would definitely recommend!

one on one counselor when I was seeking advice. Nice selection of new and used dresses here for brides. There was also an assortment of bridesmaid and mother dresses, and veils and jewelry. I didn't get my dress here just due to my style preference, but I got my veil here and I loved their jewelry selection! Lots of dazzling costume jewelry that is perfect for weddings. During the times I requested assistance I was usually lucky enough to get Eleanor. She was very patient and helped me try on dresses and jewelry, and suggested add on options as well with various looks, on a few different occasions. Since my dress came from elsewhere, they even let me borrow jewelry to take so I could try it on with my dress. (And of course I did end up buying most of it!) Several large spaces and mirrors in store to check out the glam looks. All staff members were quite friendly.

dresses and was between two. I was there for almost two hours going back and forth on the final decision and never felt rushed. I purchased an unaltered sample so really not a huge discount like the pre-worn and altered ones, but I love it! The salon itself was really pretty, they have accessories and bridesmaids dresses too. The outside looks like your typical stripmall but inside felt very bridal. I was very happy with my visit.

dresses are 'off the rack' so I literally drove home with my dress. Best feeling ever!

and put me right at ease. I explained to her the style I was looking for along with my price range. Carole pulled several gowns and allowed me, my mom and maid of honor to pull gowns as well. I got down to my two favorite gowns, one of which Carole had chosen and just could not decide! Carole was very patient and accommodating and let me try them on as many times as I wanted. She also was very good at pointing out pros and cons with each style and getting a sense of what I was feeling. You can tell she has been doing this for a while! In the end, I am so happy with the service, my dress, and the price. Though I have not yet had my dress tailored, I like that they have an in-house tailor that is very reasonably priced. Thanks for helping me find my perfect dress within my limited budget!

I found the one that day. We were not expecting to walk out buying a dress but we did!

ress - Essence of Australia D1571. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a nice sales associate who took my dress and hung it on a rack. The owner soon came, partially unzipped my dress and responded "I can't sell this it's too old." The website states that they consign dresses 2 years old or less and I have had my dress for less than 2 years ...I got married in Aug 2015; Nonetheless, she proceeded to accuse me of purchasing a floor sample dress and asked nastily if I had a receipt. Appalled by the way I was spoken to, I took my dress and left the shop - I would rather keep my dress than sell it to someone so rude and unprofessional. I don't know what her angle was for speaking to me and offending me the way she did; however, I would NEVER recommend anyone buy ANYTHING from there! My dress is gorgeous, I have all my documentation including my cleaners receipt from 2 weeks ago, I can AFFORD to order a dress at full price and as far as I'm concerned the dress looks a lot better than what was on display - google it! BTW, if you go to Essence of Australia website the dress is sold in several bridal shops in the area - but it's old. Go to Bridals by Elena in Gambrills, MD the team is awesome there!!

The "One" for me. My mom immediately teared up and i knew. My gown made me feel so beautiful. The seamstress that I Do I Do is also great! Lola did a fantastic job on my alterations. She made sure everything was perfect. Thank you I Do I Do!!

tomer service!

retty & the selection is large. The staff is very warm & accommodating. And, as I experienced first hand, the prices are fantastic! I highly recommend this salon!

with the owner! Thanks for the assistance!!

fered at consignment prices. Nonetheless, I fell in love with a beautiful lace gown that was part of a trunk show. I didn't buy the dress that day because I wanted my family to be there. Unfortunately, the dress was being shipped the following day to the next trunk show (which was I informed of) and they were never able to get another sample in the store. I ended up going to another salon and bought a similar dress at a lower price. Great customer service. Would recommend trying them out.

g dress shopping experience!

te working with me was very helpful and listened well to what I was looking for and my budget, but the owner was incredibly rude to my mother (something I had seen written about on other review sites). She only became pleasant when we decided to purchase the gown. Later, when I was making arrangements to pick my up my gown, there was confusion over the location of my dress and it took multiple phone calls to confirm where my dress was and that the few small alterations were complete. It was unnecessarily stressful and frustrating as it was clear there were some serious communication issues on their end. When I arrived to pick it up, I discovered those alterations had not been completed as I was told and had to leave the dress there requiring me to make an additional journey to finally pick it up. I loved my dress, but due to the poor customer service I would not recommend them.

udget. Here I found the dress I was meant to have. It was beautiful, full lace, affordable and so easy to wear. It was the best dress for me. In fact, when I first tried it on there were two other women there, one slightly taller than me, one much taller than me, all trying on the same dress. It was perfect for all of us. The selection at I Do, I Do is really good. If you want something used, they have it. If you want some of the latest designs, current or one season back, they have it. Also, Lola, the seamstress, was amazing! She really knew my dress, had altered it for many women before me, but customized it just for my small petite frame. I was so happy working with her. Very professional and patient. Great quality, even on an entire lace overlay. I couldn't recommend them enough.

I went during a slow day because I was the only bride in the store. Since I was use to trying on dresses I went to the appointment alone. I pulled some dresses and the consultant pulled some dresses. One of the dresses the consultant pulled I fell in love with. I did a follow-up appointment and was able to get it discounted because I purchased the dress during small business Saturday. I was very satisfied with my experience here and would recommend this store to people. I brought my dress full price but many of their consignment dresses were nice as well. The dress I brought was very affordable. I picked an Allure Bridal gown and brought my veil and jewelry all in the same day here as well.

shop is such a hidden gem. My favorite thing was the "evening lighting" they can turn on to help you picture the gown as it would look with more romantic lighting. Be sure to ask for that--it sealed the deal for me. Lots of veils and accessories to choose from too. The assistant manager Lindsay was super responsive and attentive when I had concerns about extra length. A word to prospective buyers, no matter where you go, I've found it helped to do my hair and makeup super glam we up, and that made the shopping experience even better. I'll leave another review later of the alterations process when I go through that, and I'll leave these reviews elsewhere as well. I love to see great small businesses succeed when I've had a really positive experience!

that matched what I was looking for and looked best on me. I had hoped on finding a consignment gown so I didn't have to spend my full dress budget but unfortunately I didn't find one. I bought a dress from another boutique and it was a designer I Do I Do didn't carry so it was no reflection on them. Great shop to visit and great selection!

in house did a beautiful job fitting my dress.

first outing. The experience was great, Jasmine (it was over a year ago, I believe that was her name) was awesome to work with. She really tried to get a feel for my wedding plans and fiancée to make great dress choices. The first dress I tried on I loved and as a used dress it had already been altered and amazingly fit me perfectly. I Do I Do was a great first stop since it has new dresses as well as consignment. I went to a couple of other shops afterwards because it seemed crazy to only go to one store when I had over a year before my wedding but I ended up coming back the next day and buying that first dress. Everyone loved it the day of, it was perfect and the shopping experience was a great start to my wedding planning.
