Lovely Bride
Self-proclaimed as “the OG indie bridal shop with 12 U.S. locations,” Lovely Bride is a go-to for fashionista brides! Known for their selection of trendy wedding dresses, top designers are showcased such as Sarah Seven, Hayley Paige and Anna Campbell among others. Conveniently located in beautifully historic Georgetown, this boutique is the perfect spot for a post-shopping lunch to celebrate finding your dream wedding dress! The ladies at Lovely Bride will even recommend their favorite cafes, bakeries and boutiques for finding inspiration.
Hitched
For a more classic option, Hitched is also located in Georgetown, making this DC wedding boutique super popular. We love that this bridal boutique offers both stunning traditional and contemporary wedding dresses, as well as bridesmaids dresses designed to fit a wide array of wedding styles (and budgets). Having served DC brides for over a decade, the staff at Hitched will help you pick the perfect dress from their curated selection of designer gowns. And once you’ve decided on “the one,” the fun gets to continue playing with veil options, jewelry and accessories!
BHLDN
We can’t talk about our favorite Washington, DC bridal boutiques without mentioning BHLDN! A popular choice for DC brides, BHLDN is known and loved for its light and airy designs, beautiful hued options, mother of the bride and bridesmaids gowns, accessories, even decor – all at a great price. Located inside Anthropologie on M Street in Georgetown, the boutique is just as beautiful outside as it is inside. When you enter in from the cobblestoned streets, you’ll notice a portion of the store still features its original façade as it was once a farmhouse.
Carine’s Bridal
For the ultimate luxury wedding dress shopping experience, Carine’s Bridal Atelier is a must! Since opening their doors in 2006, the staff at Carine’s has come along side thousands of local and international brides to help them find their dream wedding dress. Home to legendary designers, such as Monique Lhuillier and Carolina Herrera just to name a couple, Carine’s focus is on expanding their exclusive designer relationships with emerging designers to bring DC brides the best and most luxurious options for their most special day. We love that they also offer in-house alterations services!
We can’t wait for you to check out these feminine and sophisticated bridal salons for yourself. We know you’ll be head over heels in love with the wedding dress shopping experience at one of these boutiques, as well as your stunning wedding dress. Happy shopping!
