Alexandria Location

My mom sister and I spent a weekend searching for my dress at a bunch of stores in the DC area, and we almost didn’t go to Elegance by Roya (Alexandria) since it was our 5th stop and I thought I found my dress earlier that day. We decided to go anyway and am so glad we did. We worked with Farah and she was extremely helpful finding a few dresses and then working from my comments to get better and better. They had a huge selection of dresses at every price point and everyone was positive and friendly. She ended up suggesting a dress that was extremely similar to my top contender from that morning but at about half the price and with even better details.

Rhe’a did my alterations and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. We ended up adding a bustle and buttons and they were absolutely perfect. She was so patient and had me come in multiple times to ensure my dress fit like a glove, and the final alterations were amazing. I absolutely loved my dress and Elegance by Roya was so easy to work with from beginning to end.

Incredible experience!

I came to Elegance by Roya and was immediately impressed with the staff and selection of gowns. It is a beautiful store and if I could do it all over again I would choose them. Farah and her staff were nothing less than professional and ensured that my needs and wishes were met during every fitting and correspondence.

Go to Elegance by Roya for your wedding gown! You will not regret it.
