Vivid Bridal Boutique

the experience was so seamless, I purchased my dress in that same zoom appointment (before ever seeing it in person!!!) they went above and beyond, the owner was at my appointment and she herself tried on the dresses to see how they would look on me. They went above and beyond for all of my appointments. Even sending me a personalized little card by when I purchased my dress. They remembered me by name for every appointment and knew that I preferred late time slots every time I called. If you’re on the fence about this place, just GO. These little details that you don’t think of are really what truly separates them from the rest. They’re amazing!!!

or in my dream dress. After trying a few dresses on and listening to what I did and did not like about them, Susana asked if she could pull a dress for me to try. The moment I slipped into that dress, I knew it was the one! Susana was able to know exactly what I wanted when I was unable to put into words what was missing from the other dresses I had tried. Roneka found the most beautiful cathedral veil that looked like it was made for my dress to complete the look and I was sold! Each alterations appointment and even while dropping off my dress for cleaning after the wedding, the feeling of having such a personal experience did not waver. While you can find beautiful dresses at any bridal shop, what you can't beat is the care that is provided by Susana and her team at Vivid Bridal Boutique.

n. Thank you Vivid Bridal staff for making my wedding dress shopping experience such a joy and making me feel like the beautiful bride I had always dreamed of as a little girl.

ss shopping I was a street size 20 and finding wedding dress boutiques with adequate plus sized options in Northern VA/DC was not as easy as I hoped it would be. I visited a handful of stores that had advertised plus sized lines to find 2 or 3 dresses in a size that realistically fit me. I was squeezed into bridal 14's and shoved into styles that didn't fit my body type and I was completely over it. By chance, I found Vivid Bridal Salon online, I called to confirm that they had a decent selection of plus size gowns and made an appointment. When I got there, I was completed WOWed - the store was immaculate, utterly gorgeous, and not stuffy like some of the other stores I had visited. Every single staff member was polite, helpful, and you could tell that they operated as a team. I browsed the racks and picked up a few dresses and from there let the experts work their magic... I was pleasantly surprised at the variations in sizes of their samples. I tried on dresses from a bridal 18 to a bridal 26. I ended up with a gorgeous Stella York gown that was 100% everything I could've hoped for along with a veil that is a perfect match. Over the next few months when I came back to pick up my dress and for my alterations appointments, the amazing customer service never came to a halt. The staff at Vivid aren't about the sale, they truly care that you look and feel your absolute best and that you have a positive experience EVERY SINGLE TIME you visit. Their seamstress is also amazing - she's the sweetest woman and I felt incredibly comfortable around her - more comfortable than I feel around most doctors! There's something about the culture at this shop that just can't be beat... Everyone is genuinely so friendly and like I mentioned earlier, they care more about how you feel than what you've got in your wallet. I highly encourage you to visit the shop and browse their collections, no matter what size or style you're looking for. THANK YOU VIVID for the BEST possible experience! :-)

what to pull. Then, she talked me up the entire time making sure I was comfortable, feeling beautiful, and happy. They make you feel like the most important bride ever! I was the only bride in the boutique, so I got their undivided attention. Cannot wait to see my dress when it comes in!

s all I needed! From the call the night before to get an idea of what they should pull to the attentiveness when we got there the day of I can say nothing but positive things. The staff is so knowledgeable and helpful. I never felt pressured or rushed. I ended up finding my dress about 8 dresses in and they could not have been more helpful. I had the best experience with Vivid and would recommend them to anyone!!!

o Ronica had already picked out a bunch of gowns that fit my style and preference. The first dress I tried on was the ONE! I tried on a few others but Ronica helped me to know it was my dress! She was caring, straight forward, and knew exactly what questions to ask to keep the appointment moving in the right direction. I was so incredibly happy with my experience and how friendly and helpful the staff are! I 10/10 recommend!

to pull out or order sample dresses that I'd tried on at other salons so I could compare the dresses all at once.

at I wanted to bring my family back to see, but in my heart, I knew I had found the one. Susana never pressured me, and was super helpful when I brought in my family. She answered all their questions and mine. She was so sweet that by the end of the appointment it was like she was part of our family too. Her prices are really reasonable. My dress and veil were beautiful! We just got our wedding pictures back, and I can't stop staring. I really felt like a bride, and Susana makes sure you take in that moment and truly enjoy it!

eading up to the wedding, things can get stressful. But I was never stressed about my wedding dress. Highly recommend going to Vivid!!

You will be so happy that you did!

ening right in our neighborhood! Luckily, the customer experience and actual dresses/product when my girlfriend went, exceeded our expectations! The icing on top- Susana and her team make you feel comfortable in one of the most important times of your life. When I got engaged months after my friend's wedding, I of course went there after one other well known place that has an excellent customer experience (since that is one of the most important things to me when choosing something so important) and I still decided to have my journey with Vivid... Boy I am glad I did! I received so many compliments on my dress and would have never known about the additional skirt options or jewelry to choose had it not been for Susana. Also, they were extremely accommodating with my busy work schedule for fittings and pick ups. I LOVE and will forever refer the team at Vivid!

eves and some customizations. And I must say that the seamstress did a fenomenal job! Susana was my consultant and is the owner, and she truly takes pride in her business and makes you feel more than just a client. She was with me every step of the way, making sure I loved every single thing about my dress, no matter how long it took. She is very personable where you feel like she’s apart of the family, but also follows through with amazing customer service and guidance. I am so happy I found them because you don’t find these kind of experiences or companies like this any more. Thank you Susana!

this place enough.

double what I was expecting. She did not disclose the price of the veil or show me any other options before she rung me up. Also, the fittings were rushed due to the seamstress being out of town, and I had to take my dress earlier than I would have liked, after three fittings (really just two, because the third one was essentially just to pick up my dress). As such, my dress did not fit perfectly on my wedding day. Overall, a big disappointment.

o my appointment, I stopped by to see what designers Susana carried and found that I loved the Stella York dresses. After lots of researching online, I called back to see if they had the samples of dresses I liked online. The Vivid team was so helpful to order any samples they didn’t have in the store for my appointment, and Susana went out of her way to make sure one particular very new style that I loved was there for me to try on. Needless to say, my appointment was great and I had a fabulous time trying on dresses! Our consultant Kaila was so helpful and patient with me. I ended up choosing the newer style that Susana worked so hard to get, and it was PERFECT for me. Their alterations department is phenomenal and makes sure everything is just right. I can’t rave about this boutique enough. I highly recommend Vivid to anyone looking for a bridal boutique – you won’t be disappointed!

ere subpar, I just went in and tried on dressed and left. All of my family lives out of state so I went to try dresses on by myself. When I walked into Vivid, Susana greeted me very warmly and helped me find my dream dress. She told me since my family and friends couldn’t be there that for today she would be my best friend, that she would be honest and tell me what she thought looked good on me. Susana was so warm and friendly and I truly felt like I had a friend by my side, not a sales person. She made me feel beautiful. She was so patient and helped my put on my favorite two dresses on a few times and she also took photos for me to see and also to send to family and friends. I found my dream dress and I can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day! I highly recommend Susana and Vivid Bridal; it was the experience that I always wanted. Thank you Susana!

t near me, and Vivid, which is about a 30 minute drive. The store near me had mixed reviews, so I chose Vivid based on the amazing reviews. Best decision ever!! Susana ordered the dress for me, since she didn’t carry it (she does now!!) and her price was less than the other store. Susana and her staff are so sweet and supportive, and her dress selection is gorgeous! Faisal, her seamstress, is a pro, as well. I had a lot of alterations done and liked the flat price structure that Susana has. I also bought my belt and veil from her, and brought my dress back to her to use her cleaner and preservation company. Once you start with Susana, you are in good hands forever! She was also very flexible working around my work schedule for fittings. I am so sad that once I pick up my cleaned dress I may not see Susana again!! You can’t go wrong with Vivid! So happy I’m a #vividbride

ring the Stella York trunk show @ Vivid Bridal (they were one of a few select boutiques in the country that were chosen for the trunk show) which was pretty cool! Kaila and Susana helped me through the process of finding my wedding dress! They were so sweet and patient as I kept going back and forth on a couple dresses and felt so indecisive! Their dresses are so gorgeous it makes it hard to pick one! Thank you Kalia and Susana (and the whole Vivid Bridal Staff) for a great experience! I can't wait to see you all again when my dress comes in :)

e informed me that they were having a trunk show for that designer in February, and then proceeded to tell me that she would not book me an appointment to come to that trunk show because my wedding is pottentially too soon and she was only booking "serious brides" (6.5 months out from February, with our potential date being the end of August/early September). When I asked for the date of the trunk show she would not give it to me, and instead gave me the date of another designer. I was so upset by her comment - only booking serious brides - that I cried. My fiance saw me after and asked about what happened. When I told him, he called and the woman who answered the phone then stated that she was the one who spoke with me, and she remembered the conversation.... when he asked to speak with the manager she told him she was the person in charge that evening. He asked if she was the manager or owner, she stated the manager wasn't there for the night and she was it. He stated that he wanted to have the manager call him back, she laughingly harumphed into the phone and then hung up on him without asking for his information. I know exactly what she did because we were in the car and together and she was on the in-car bluetooth. A little while later the store called him back - he did not pick up. I called the store today and asked for the owner or manager this morning. The owner called me back just a few minutes ago and stated that she, not the woman my fiance spoke to and claimed to have spoken with me, was the one who I talked with. I told her that I wanted to talk about a very negative customer service experience I recieved over the phone, and she proceeded to tell me that I was lying about everything. That she never told me they were "only booking serious brides" and that her employee never hung up on Justun. She said I was lying about not being given the date of my desired designer's trunk show.... she raised her voice, I raised mine and said this was BS and the worst customer service expereince of my life. NO BRIDE SHOULD CRY because of dress store owner/manager/employee telling them they wouldn't schedule them because the person on the other end of the phone did not consider them to be a "serious bride." I had the designer, dress style, and everything in the type of dress I'm looking for all laid out. Worst expereince ever - I would discourage any and all who may look for wedding dresses (bridal, bridal party, MOB) or any other formal wear to avoid the same bad experience I had and never shop at Vivid Bridal in Woodbridge, VA.

id not even use clamps and put me in the dress correctly so I could see it at the shape the best they could. They also pulled off dresses that were over budget, one I loved but I was not going to do that to my mother. When it hit 1:30 they were kind of rude about the appt. being ocver Vivid when I got there was so sweet and reallly made me excited. They helped me try on the dresses. I loved that their samples were not in bags so I could really see the look of it. We tried on so many and different styles. I finally got it down to two and went back and forth between them. They had no issue with me trying those two on over and over again. I finally found the dress. I am so excited for it to be altered to how I need and of course to the height that I am because I am 4'11 all the sample dresses were soooo long. If you have any questions about anything you can always call or email and they get right back to you. I loved them and I am so so so excited to see the final dress and wear it on such a special day <3

o this bridal store and said yes to my dress!! I highly reccomend this store to all brides!

gne after I picked a dress was an awesome touch! Thank you Vivid Bridal!

come back to this boutique. Their price range is reasonable while providing gowns that feel unique and special. I’m so happy I happened to find this boutique!

aterials, and colors. In addition to the great styles, the prices were on the same level as the other boutiques, but my opinion was the quality was higher. Thus, I thought the value for the price was higher here. Secondly, the service was impeccable. My consultant was professional, courteous, detail oriented, assisted me fitting in each dress I tried on, and listened to my opinion on the dresses instead of pushing an agenda. She also gave her honest opinion when I was having trouble deciding, and ultimately, I chose the right dress. Of all my consultations, this store exceeds all others by far. I highly recommend this boutique!

ely chose the dress I'll get married in! I really loved that they were so kind and welcoming. They are also not at all pushy. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for their wedding dress!

the experience tough was an understatement. First of all, the boutique is the cutest thing ever. Then you’re greeted by the staff who are excited and ready to get started right away! I worked with Susana who is the owner and absolute best! She listens to what you want and also what she hears you describing. Honestly, every dress she was pulled was stunning but my budget wouldn’t have allowed for 6+ dresses. After you try on a few, she tells you to pick your top two and here comes the fun part... veils and accessories! She knew exactly what to pull and I felt like a real bride! At the end, she was not pushy and told me to think on it, if needed. (Well I didn’t need too!) I said yes to the dress right there and I couldn’t be more excited to be a Vivid Bridal! Love this shop! (Added bonus they have their own alteration shop in house and the woman is magic!)

h Vivid Bridal. Also they will let you pay in installments so I only paid ~50% up front! It was a great experience and I'm so glad I went!

my dress, stating it was being sold off the rack as was in the store. When I came to the appointment with my girls, she and Cassandra greeted us with the utmost warmth and excitement. We were the only ones there, and they let me take all the time I needed until I said yes to my dress. The dress from the show was there and I knew the moment I tried it on it was perfect. They were so accommodating, lovely, personable, and treated you like family, and even brought out champagne and tissues for tears to celebrate! I wouldn't have traded the experience for a Kleinfeld appointment, they were so incredible and I can't wait to go back to get my alterations there. I couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect bridal salon experience. Don't waste any time, just make the appointment!

They engaged in a 6 month design process with the designer to customize my dress to my liking. They always went above and beyond to help make my life easier. They came to the rescue with my bridesmaids dresses, foolishly ordered from a different vendor, by completing alterations for all of them within a short period of time. I had expressed some needs with putting on my dress the day of my wedding and Susana offered to help me if need be. The Vivid Bridal team always greeted me with smiles on their faces and a longing to help me. I could tell they genuinely enjoyed what they did and that is what I appreciated most about them. Please get your dress from Vivid Bridal Boutique. You will never regret it. Signed, A very satisfied Bride

the only bride in there so it was very calm and relaxing. I did not feel rushed or ignored at all! The dress selection was plenty for me. I tried 13 on and ended up finding my dream dress! They allow you to take photos and videos which I really appreciated when making a decision. I am not super savvy when it comes to dress shopping and I am a pretty indecisive person, but Cassandra walked me through it all, answered any questions or concerns I had and brought up points I never considered when looking at dresses. I never once felt rushed or that I was a burden. She was simply wonderful and made the experience so enjoyable. We ended the perfect day with a glass of champagne as she walked me through the next steps. I cannot say enough great things about this store and my experience. Do not let the lack of reviews keep you from coming here. It is a newer store, so go check it out!

had an enjoyable, professional, amazing experience. I recommend everyone to check them out!

g date! Their seamstress is also really amazing. She altered my bridal gown to perfection. I would recommend this boutique to any bride! Thanks again, Susana and Cassandra!

I highly recommend it to any bride looking for their wedding dress!

work with as well! I would 100% recommend visiting this bridal shop. I’m extremely happy to say I am a vivid bride!

y. I went to one Bridal shop before and left so discouraged. After binge watching say yes to the dress my expectations were quite high and Vivid Bridal came through! I gave them my top details, price range, and style. I was able to try on infinite dresses and so happy to say I found the one! You won't be disappointed in this experience, it's so intimate and personalized. They truly make you feel like special!

d this bridal shop to anyone looking for that perfect dress.

and made me feel good about myself during the entire process. I'm so happy Cassandra pointed out a dress I would have never tried on myself and now I found the perfect dress and it's because of her!!

sweet and welcoming. She made sure my bridesmaids and I were comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. My bridal consultant, Cassandra, was absolutely amazing. She was professional, patient, and knowledgeable. She listened to every pro and con I had about each dress, she explained the difference between white dresses and ivory dresses (believe it or not there’s a huge difference), how to bustle the dress, and overall made me feel comfortable and in the end helped me choose the dress of my dreams! I look forward to continue working with them through alterations, accessory choices, final fittings, etc. I can’t thank the Vivid Bridal team enough for the amazing experience. If you’re looking for a great bridal experience with a welcoming, supportive team, I would highly recommend Vivid Bridal Boutique in Woodbridge!
