Katie guided me through the entire process with such warmth, professionalism, and care. She was incredibly easy to work with, always communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt confident and supported every step of the way. I was especially nervous going into my first appointment. I didn't have the traditional group of friends with me, and my mom wasn't able to attend that day, so I came alone and felt a little sad about it at first. But Katie immediately put me at ease. She created such a comfortable, welcoming environment that I quickly forgot my nerves and was able to truly enjoy the experience. Their selection of dresses was fantastic, and incredibly curated. To my surprise and delight, I found the dress during my very first appointment- the fourth gown I tried on! Katie's expertise and intuition were spot-on. What truly sets Clifton Bridal Boutique apart, though, is the level of care they provide. Katie even came in on days the boutique was closed so I could try on my dress when my mom was visiting. That kind of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. Her communication from the initial appointment all the way through final pickup was flawless, and the bridal tailor they recommended was excellent as well. As a bonus, the town of Clifton is absolutely charming with lovely little restaurants nearby. It's perfect for celebrating with lunch after an appointment. I couldn't recommend Clifton Bridal Boutique more highly. If you're searching for a wedding dress and want an experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and genuinely special, this is the place to go.

I specifically chose this store because they offered contemporary designers, but really Katie provided such a genuine and special experience that really made me feel committed to supporting her store. I really loved her vision for all the selected pieces she curated for her collection and I would highly recommend checking out this business. The quality of the dresses really exceeded my expectations and I appreciated the amazing customer service provided.

At the first appt for alterations, she let me tell her what I thought needed to be fixed first before offering her suggestions. She did this bc something she might see as an issue might not even bother me. Overall, it was a good experience and I'm very happy with the outcome. She made me feel like a queen in my dress and I cannot wait to show it off on my wedding day. *Parking: There's plenty of parking out front, and more in the lot across front the store. It is a very busy lot, and sometimes drivers from the Starbucks drive through gets stuck trying to leave. Id recommend that you park closer to the Bonchon. **Will post pictures of before and after, but AFTER my wedding in May!

They called the day before and left a very heartfelt message welcoming to the shop and getting me excited for my appointment. When I arrived, the doors were opened for us and we were greeted by the friendliest staff! Ava Laurénne is the site of an old bank and it has such a unique character. They had some dresses on the bottom floor as well as a few bride stations and their bridal suite with snacks and activities. I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Patty for my appointment. Patty really listened to me and put me in different options I never had considered, a lot of which were top choices! Party was so friendly, caring, passionate and really had a great eye! I tried on many dresses and am very picky and Patty was patient and never tried to rush me. Patty really kept my budget in mind when showing me dresses as well. The dress I ended up buying was $500 less than the top of my price point, which gives me more flexibility for alterations. I ended up finding a really unique dress here which is perfect for my wedding day! I purchased the dress and then they gave me the full bride experience! They brought me downstairs and gave me a free t-shirt, they gave us drinks and snacks, and took my picture in many spots around the store. A really nice and special activity was going into the Phone booth and leaving a voicemail for my fiancé about my excitement for the wedding. My mom, sister, and I had a blast! We couldn't stop talking about how nice and helpful everyone was here and how much fun we had! There is truly no other bridal shop like Ava Laurenne!

We have had the most pleasant and wonderful experience with Le Reve! I first walked in with my mom…read morewithout an appointment. I didn't expect to try on any dresses since I knew I needed an appointment, but my mom and I just wanted to ask the sales lady some questions and look around. We met Adrianna and although she had a client with an appointment, she was VERY accommodating, did not even turn us away, let us look around, and she even started pulling dresses for me that I liked and that she thought I would love. The one other girl in there with the appointment didn't mind if Adrianna helped both of us at the same time, so without expecting to try on dresses that very day, that is exactly what I did! I tried on a decent amount of dresses until I ran out of time, but Adrianna wrote down the dresses I liked and made sure to save them aside for me to come back with an appointment. When I made my appointment to go back, I specifically requested for her because I loved how nice and helpful she was to accommodate me. At my appointment, Adrianna went above and beyond!! She is very passionate about helping brides find their perfect dress. She feels your style and from there knows EXACTLY what to find and even pulls other dresses you're not sure you will like but may like if you try it on. She also knows how to pull certain veils and accessories that will look good paired with dresses. Overall, Le Reve may look small from the outside, but they have A LOT of beautiful dresses packed in there. All kinds of styles for every body shape and size. The dresses are moderately priced. I would HIGHLY recommend this place.

Beyond the selection of dresses the women there helping me were outstanding.

Not to mention they remembered exactly who I was each time I called for dress fittings and even called to remind me about when to make fitting appointments. I almost wish they sold more than just wedding dresses so I could go back!

With no time left to spare, I had to go above budget and sacrifice other aspects of my wedding to buy a wearable dress elsewhere. Upon further research, I found other similar reviews on her previous google page "Ebrada Atelier" that she seemingly tried to cover up by adding a new page. I'm not the first bride she scammed. The photos below speak for themselves.. This is what I received vs. what I ordered (which was supposed to be "a better version" of this, thinning straps and changing out the liner for a higher quality liner). After a heartbreaking and extremely stressful stream of conversations, Cathy finally apologized and offered money back, only to send a text after the wedding saying that she would see us in court. Save yourself and go ANYWHERE else for your wedding dress!

My friend and I went to several stores/boutiques and experienced the grueling act of trying on dress after dress only to find overpriced bad quality dresses or nothing at all. My friend purchased a dress she felt was "a steal" because she was told it was designer and loved it. Afterwards they added so many charges for every little item that she left with her dress trying to think of solutions. We found ZAKAA and found their atelier was on site - the designer helped my friend to rework her dress into what she wanted and when we got there we realized just how much she got ripped off when we compared her "designer" dress to ZAKAA's beautiful gowns. My friend could have purchased 2 customized dresses by a real designer than what she left with from this other store. ZAKAA even worked in an alteration package for my friend which let me tell you NO ONE would ever do especially for a dress that isn't theirs! She came up with money saving plans and work to make this dress my friend's dream dress. She literally took a piece of fabric dress that didn't even have boning into a masterpiece! Another upside to this experience was when it was my turn to purchase a dress I knew exactly where to go. I was able to put together a customized dress with the designer and have a packaged alternation deal, flat price for everything, that was VERY fair based on the insane amounts others quoted us. And don't let the front fool you, there's more items in the back as well! Thank you Zakaa and team

When I arrived, I was the second customer in the store, yet there was only one robe, which already made the experience uncomfortable and exposed. Muna, my consultant, was amazing -- kind, patient, and truly the only reason I considered purchasing a gown. I'm 5'2" and a size 16-18, and only two dresses fit me. She handled me with grace and made me feel comfortable. While I was deciding on a $1,550 dress and $450 veil, the owner made 2 comments that didn't sit with me well regarding the dress "It's your size and there aren't many options in your size," and then, as I stepped aside to make a phone call, added, "I need to know what you're going to do because I have to write this up." The pressure and tone were unnecessary and disappointing. There were also no price tags, and asking for prices resulted in vague responses. "It's Couture and expensive" In the end, I paid $50 to try on only a couple of dresses and left feeling rushed, limited, and discouraged. Curvier brides should be aware that the inclusivity and sensitivity you expect may not be what you experience here.

From my first call to my final fitting and dress pickup, her serene and patient kindness was a breath of fresh air. Other than prom, this was my first time truly seeing myself in a gown. I felt awkward at first, but her steady support and encouragement helped me settle in and enjoy the moment. She is a gifted designer, and her seamless execution left me completely confident in my purchase. She let me choose from different fabrics and stone options for my cape and neck piece, and all were custom-made to fit my vision. I look forward to working with her again for future special occasions and maybe even another pageant if I can gather the courage. The location is wonderful. It is light, airy, and spacious, and the brick storefront makes for a beautiful photo op. Farah has a way of making her clients feel like they already have the crown. There is plenty of covered and uncovered parking within a short walk, and there are many nearby food options for a post-fitting lunch.

But this shop does more than just deliver beautiful dresses, it's run by a wonderful person. Miriam is exactly who you need during such a stressful time in your life. She is warm, inviting, and truly wants you to be happy with your wedding dress. She's helped me countless times during the many stressers i put on myself while trying to decide on my gown. I had gone to other bridal shops in VA and just didn't get the best vibe but I was really sold on this shop not only because of the stunning dresses, but because i knew Miriam had my back and would work with me. Her assurance that the dress was going to look stunning and that i was going to feel great was exactly what i needed. You also get some privacy during your appointment as Miriam doesn't have too many people at once during visits which is really helpful. I found other dress shops to be a bit too chaotic which doesn't make it easier. Ramya, who did my alterations, is also wonderful to work with. She is very kind, works with your schedule, and does stunning work. I had a last minute change to my dress (Went from sleeves to straps) and both Miriam and Ramya were so accommodating. I got so many compliments on the stunning work on my dress. The detail is beautiful as was the lace work on it. It was exactly how i hope it would look.
