Fairytale Brides on a Shoestring Boutique

I adore this store and everything they do! They are a non-profit with tons of discount dresses. I came here for my first-ever wedding dress appointment, and Claudia was incredibly helpful. She answered all of my questions and was very patient and helpful while I tried on nearly every dress they had! Even though I didn't end up finding my dress here, they had many beautiful styles and I highly recommend this as a first stop.

I had an amazing experience this past weekend at Fairytale Brides. After visiting several bridal shops in the DC area, I started to lose hope that I'd be able to find a dress within my very tight budget (and one that wasn't previously owned). Insert Fairytale Brides! I came to this shop on a whim and was able to make a last minute appointment without issue. I worked with Claudia and she was very accommodating from the start. She was very welcoming and did an awesome job of identifying dresses that matched the look I was going for. I didn't have much luck with the dresses I pulled from the rack but Claudia identified several options from the inventory they had in the back. And lucky for me, one of those dresses happened to be the one that I ended up going with! So happy to say that I officially said yes to the dress and none of it would've been possible without the help of Claudia and the lovely staff at Fairytale Brides!

The women in the shop were very warm and delightful. I found a great dress for a dream price!
