I highly recommend Virginia's Daughters to any bride-to-be looking for her dream dress. You’ll feel right at home, and the team will make sure you find a gown that’s just right!
I had the best experience at Virginia Daughters! I am a plus sized bride and the dresses fit pretty well. Hannah my stylist was patient and understanding with each and every dress....
She explained if they fit or how we were doctoring them to get them to fit. She encouraged me to try on one of every style of dresses even the ball gown which I had said I hated… we even tried on a black dress which again I didn’t think it was what I wanted. Dresses were affordable and within my price range. My guests and I were comfortable and enjoyed our afternoon with them!
I had an amazing experience here!! I may not have said yes to the dress here but I definitely found the style that I wanted. The variety was vast! I have the best memories of shopp...

First and foremost, the selection of wedding dresses at Virginia's Daughter is unparalleled. The exquisite range of styles, fabrics, and designs caters to every bride's unique taste, ensuring that there's something for everyone.
What truly set Virginia's Daughter apart, however, was the exceptional service I received from the staff. The consultants were not only knowledgeable about their inventory but also took the time to understand my vision for the big day. They listened attentively to my preferences and concerns, guiding me through the selection process with genuine care and enthusiasm.
Beyond the impeccable dress selection and outstanding service, what truly made my experience unforgettable was the warm and welcoming ambiance of the boutique. Virginia's Daughter Bridal Boutique is not just a store; it's a haven for brides-to-be. The elegant decor, soft lighting, and attention to creating a serene atmosphere made every visit feel magical.

ter searched for the perfect dress. Most importantly, the staff was attentive and listened to what she wanted. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured to make a selection.

Virginia and Allison are nothing short of amazing! I originally went to try on my first time in October. Virginia had everything I chose in my look book prepped and ready to go! Th...
ey were so welcoming and informative on the process and how to pick the right dress. I had my heart set on 2 different dresses and Virginia took note to contact me of any possible changes in availability of my dresses. Fast forward a few months, I continued to search for my dress, but all I could think about was the one at Virginia's Daughter. They were able to get me in super last minute during one of their big sales to try on the dress again and I was able to say YES! I am very excited to see them again once my dress comes in!
I absolutely LOVED it here! I had the best experience! Found my dream dress and was surrounded by the best people because of how amazing the staff is!
LOVED this shop. Allison, the owner, answered my emails so quickly and was able to order lender dresses by my favorite designer. I couldn’t find these dresses anywhere and I ended ...
up getting one of them! She was also super patient while I was being indecisive and repeatedly trying on the same three dresses I narrowed it down to until I could make a decision. The military discount was a huge plus, as was the champagne to celebrate
My sister found the perfect dress for her wedding (her first time trying on dresses!) with the wonderful help of the staff at Virginia’s Daughter Bridal Boutique! We had an incredi...
ble experience. The owner and her mama were kind, knowledgeable, experienced, knew their inventory so well, and we’re not pushy. They were the perfect combination!! They threw flower petals when she picked her dress and we toasted with champagne! What a special and helpful experience. 10/10!!
I absolutely loved my experience at Virginia’s Daughter. All of the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. There were PLENTY of gowns in my desired style to choose from. Carly m...
y stylist was a dream to work with, very respectful, and helped make me feel beautiful in every dress I tried on. Virginia was also SO sweet and helpful when it came to ordering. I said YES to my dream dress here!!! I’d give more stars if I could. :)
Virginia’s Daughter hands down made my wedding dress shopping an experience to remember. Because they allow large groups unlike many other bridal shops, I was able to share my expe...
rience with the closest people in my life. My stylist, Nailah, made me feel so comfortable from the moment we walked in, immediately asking about myself & my style & all of the small details in between. She handled all of mine & my groups questions & made sure the dress was something I loved. Allison was also there the day of my appt & is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Not only was the experience everything I could have imagined, but I was blessed to be the 200th bride & they gifted me my dress! I also got my veil from here & will be returning for the baskets they put together as well! Love love love this boutique & the women who make it all a dream, I cannot recommend them enough.
It was my first time trying on wedding dresses ever and I was super nervous! I had no clue really how to feel or what anything was going to look like and my stylist Madie was very ...
supportive and understanding of my clueless indecisive ways. She helped me find a serious contender that I’m still thinking about. Over all it was a great first experience with dress shopping and I left feeling very happy. Thank you Virginia’s daughter bridal!
Virginia's Daughter Boutique was heaven sent! This was an amazing experience even before I set foot into the store. I ran late because of construction causing terrible traffic and ...
they were beyond understanding. When I arrived, they had my name on the outside sign welcoming me to my appointment. Alison was quick to put me at ease as I apologized several times for my tardiness. She told me to take a breath, I was there, and we were going to have a fun time and not be rushed. She showed me and my sister to our couch and there were two glasses of water for us. Alison had already picked out the dresses I marked as my favorites online. They had an amazing selection of dresses and no shortage of plus size dresses to chose from. When I tried on my third dress, I felt my skin warming up and had that "this is it" feeling. Virginia and Alison put me in a tiara and veil and when I responded that I was saying yes to the dress, I was enveloped in flower petals, cheers of celebration, and received a glass of champagne for me and my sister. As they completed my order on the computer, they allowed me to stay in the dress to walk around, sit down, and enjoy feeling like a bride. I walked out with a small goodie bag and a new glow about me that I had just found the dress of my dreams in such a wonderful experience.
Thank you Alison and Virginia! I'm so glad you and your boutique exist!
Our experience at VDBB was oh so wonderful. Allison and Nila were so very gracious, professional and exceptionally welcoming to my daughter, her bridesmaids, and myself. They ev...

in Suffolk! ❤️
I am a plus size bride and this store had so many gowns for me to try on! The staff made me feel very comfortable and beautiful. I said yes to my dress!
I gave this bridal boutique a 2 star rating because I wasn’t able to give it a 2.5. When you first come in, it is so welcoming. I really thought this place was gonna be the one I w...
as gonna say yes to the dress. However, it was not. The selection was very slim. While they are “size inclusive” they are actually only size inclusive on a section of dresses. I’m a mid-size bride. I can range from 10-14, depending on the dress but I wasn’t able to try on 6 dresses. I felt so ashamed and embarrassed because of that. At one point I almost got up and left but I took a deep breathe thanks to my bridal party. I thought it should be standard to have the same dress in 2 different sizes.
I reached out to Allison regarding a particular gown I wanted to try on. She was so incredibly accommodating and was able to get me in last minute! The shop is gorgeous, and I just...
fell in love with the dress! I am so grateful for Allison and her team, and will recommend this shop to all of my friends who are on the hunt for their wedding dress.
Seriously the best bridal boutique! Even before I walked in they had a little sign outside with my name on it welcoming me in! They accommodated my party of 5 with no problem and l...
et us go shopping! Their store is so cute and they are so nice!! I found my dream dress and it came in under budget!! I am a plus size bride and there was a good selection for me to try on. They even brought out champagne after I said yes to the dress so we could make a toast. They covered all the little details to make my dress buying experience so magical and made me feel so special.
I went here not intending on getting a dress that day because it was my first day shopping and I wasn’t sure what I wanted yet. Well, I was wrong. I ended up leaving purchasing the...
most perfect dress and it was such an amazing experience. The staff was so helpful and they really made me feel so beautiful. I would recommend this bridal boutique to everyone!

boutique so it was quaint and very personal. I absolutely love my dress!
I visited four bridal studios during my search and Virginia's Daughter was hands down the friendliest and best experience. My mom and I got to meet Virginia, her daughter Allison, ...
and my stylist Nai-lah. Wedding dress shopping can be cliche, but these ladies made us feel like we were life long friends! Nai-Lah was genuine, professional, and kind. If you're able to request someone, I highly suggest her. Everyone celebrated when I said yes to my dress - it was a surreal, beautiful, and memorable moment! Virginia's Daughter is a new, locally owned bridal boutique in Suffolk with a knowledgeable staff, a good range of dresses at affordable pricing, and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend! X
I had such an amazing experience at Virginia's Daughter. Nai'lah was so sweet and patient with me. Nai'lah and the owner, Allison, really helped me narrow down my choices and "say ...
yes to the dress" ! My mom and I had the whole boutique to ourselves, which I really loved. I had 1 on 1 attention during my appointment and with every step I felt very comfortable. I would highly recommend any bride to go here if you are in the 757 area and want a wonderful bridal experience !
