Visiting Vivid last weekend was my first time in a bridal shop since I was searching for my own…read morewedding dress, about 5 years ago. Vivid is a beautiful shop and I had a great time watching my friend try on dresses. All the dresses she tried were beautiful, and there were more on the racks that I would've liked to see on someone! The dresses are designer and therefore you try on what they have on the rack, but your size is then ordered for you and alterations take place after that, so make sure to give yourself time, if you choose a dress at a shop like this (at least 6 months probably). Susanna, the shop owner was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable while helping my friend get the dresses on and in guiding her to other dresses that she might like. We narrowed it down to two of my friend's favorite and Susanna never rushed us or made us feel like we needed to hurry up and decide, or that we needed to decide on one of her dresses at all. My friend decided to walk away to think about it (and we had another appointment the other side of town in a little bit), but ended up returning that afternoon to Vivid to get her super pretty, flattering and cool wedding dress for her big day in December! Would recommend Vivid for all local/regional brides shopping for a dress; there seemed to be something for everyone, and I happened to notice that they carry plus size dresses, too!

I want to start by complimenting Tiffanie, she was my consultant the day I chose my dress and she…read morewas amazing. However, everything afterward went down hill. I was told the dress would take 6 months to come in. At the 6 month mark, I called to check on my dress. They informed me that the dress was never properly ordered through the designer and that the dress I ordered would not come in. Thankfully, the sample was still there and they told me I could take that because any ordered dress would not make it in time for the wedding. The sample is not the size I ordered, and had a fake tan stain on it (thankfully it came out). They offered to send the dress to a cleaner in New York before giving it to me, but I refused it due to the tight time constraints now in place with needed additional alterations with not having the correct size. The cleaning is a predicted 3-4 additional weeks, when I am only 3.5 months away from the wedding. When I asked how this occurred, they were unsure and that it was an oversight that can happen. I was repeatedly told that it was a good thing I called, because this error was not caught. No one at the business was checking in on the order that had been placed 6 months prior, even though my wedding planner called at the 4 month mark and they simply stated that it was not in and did not look into it any further. I asked for a discount or refund of some sort because I did not receive the dress I ordered, I received a dress that is not the correct size and is off the rack. They said no, since I was able to at least leave with a dress, the only refund is the $100 shipping fee. I asked if they could cover the cost of the additional alterations since the dress is not the size I ordered, they said no. The owner offered to cover my gown preservation after the wedding, but I no longer trust them with any logistics, with such an important piece, and will not be taking that offer. If you want the dress you ordered to come in, I would not recommend this shop.

The dresses she picked out for me were spot on and exactly what I had in mind, I ended up going with the very first dress she had me try on and I couldn't be happier or more relieved. The prices are very reasonable and I know their dresses are quality material. I would recommend this boutique to anyone looking for a dress for their big day!

I have been visiting and supporting small businesses in Historic Occoquan for nearly 15 years. I…read moreregularly patronize Urban Posh, NazBro, and So Bohemian, often monthly, and have always appreciated the welcoming atmosphere these businesses and store owners provide. This past Tuesday, while buying chocolate at NazBro, I noticed the bridal shop I have walked past for several years had an "Open" sign displayed. In all the years I have ever visited Occoquan, the store has NEVER been open. I decided to stop in to learn more. Before I could even get both feet through the door, a woman abruptly shouted, "I'm with a customer!" Her tone was so startling and unwelcoming that I immediately turned around and literally ran out of the store. The customer and I made brief eye contact and she too, seemed alarmed my the response. There was no greeting, no business card, no explanation of an appointment policy, and certainly no invitation to return. As a stylist currently sourcing eight bridesmaid dresses for a client, I was genuinely interested in exploring what this business had to offer. Unfortunately, that opportunity ended before it began. What made this experience especially disappointing was the stark contrast to the warmth and professionalism I consistently receive from Omar at NazBro, Kim at Bottle Stop, and Nathalie at So Bohemian. I understand the demands of running a small business and giving clients your undivided attention. However, being busy (at that moment she was NOT even actively engaged with the customer-she was standing behind the counter and the customer was looking at dresses) does not excuse being discourteous. A simple, "Welcome! I'm assisting a client, but I'd be happy to help you schedule an appointment," would have made all the difference. First impressions matter. Customer service matters. And every person who walks through your door is a potential customer, referral, or business opportunity. Small business owners, do better. Professionalism is never an option.

I loved the conversation I had with Towanna about what I envisioned, the type of personality I have and what type of feeling I wanted to have wearing the dress.

I would recommend anyone I hear that is getting married to go to the shop. Call for the appointment today. You wont be disappointed.

My daughter was trying on several when I overheard…read morethe mother in the dressing room next to us ask if she could place a dress on hold for a short while so they could check a few other stores. The saleswomen reluctantly agreed, saying they don't usually allow this but she would make an exception. 10 minutes later, I asked the same woman the same question and she refused me. I pointed out that she had just allowed someone else to hold a dress. Annoyed, she directed me to the register and said it would be their decision. The register woman was even more rude and while she allowed us to put the dress on hold for an hour only (did not take our name or do anything to mark the dress as ours), we decided we would rather spend our money elsewhere. On top of that, dresses are generally poor quality and overpriced. Will not be back.
