Making choosing The Dress a fun and easy experience!

I had my appointment with Samantha and literally the second dress she chose was the one! The whole appointment was literally 1.5hrs but felt way longer with how much attention and knowledge Samantha gave! She was very fast with finding dresses I would love within my budget, taste, and timeframe!

Amazing bridal shop. HIGHLY recommend

Beautuful, friendly, welcoming, gorgeous shop with a HUGE selection. Kelsie was amazing! She listened to everything we were looking for and found the PERFECT dress for us. She made the dress shopping process fun, easy, and kept the positive energy going the entire time! We couldn't be more satisfied with our experience here. Check it out for your bride (or groom) to be! ❤️

Found My Dress in A Day!

Studio I Do is such a great spot! They really have staff that care and form a relationship with you on your dress and alterations journey! I had a single appointment not really knowing what i wanted and they helped me explore and narrow down my choices with ease. I bought my dress that same day! Sarah was phenomenal and just has such a great personality. She made the appointment fun and gave so much knowledge. I also went to Studio I do for my husband and groomsmen's suits. So easy! They are speedy and responsive to any questions, concerns, or changeups. Such a great spot and I have already recommended them to a few friends getting married in 2026!

Beautiful custom wedding dress!

We had a wonderful experience getting our wedding dresses from Studio I Do in Virginia Beach. We were helped by Taylor, who was incredibly efficient and thoughtful in helping us narrow down our options and find dresses that felt right for each of us.

One of us chose a white dress that Studio I Do didn’t carry in-store, and Taylor made the ordering process easy and seamless. The alterations for that dress were quick and straightforward, which made the whole experience stress-free.

The other dress was a custom red ballgown designed in-house by Mitchell, and it truly was a work of art. Mitchell was wonderful to work with and very patient with all of my specific requests. I asked for added sleeves, lace appliqués, and a custom veil, and he went above and beyond to work with me and deliver the dress of my dreams!

We truly appreciated all the effort, creativity, and professionalism from Taylor and Mitchell, and we highly recommend Studio I Do to anyone looking for a supportive, skilled, and personalized wedding dress experience.

So friendly and kind, made trying on dresses so fun!

T was so amazing and made the entire experience so pleasant. I don't even like shopping for clothes and she made sure I had so much fun. The dresses she selected were perfect and she was able to find THE DRESS for me. I am super picky and she caught on immediately to what I needed. I can't even say what a God send she was. I left so happy having found a beautiful dress and matching veil.

They have a huge selection, I think someone said they have the biggest in VA. They have around 600 dresses!

Also, they upgraded us for free to a bigger private room. The manager did that for us as she was fantastic and so nice as well. This was the 5th bridal shop I visited in the hampton roads area and it was the best experience of all. 10/10 would recommend brides go here. Even if you think you found your dress, try this place out anyway.

Amazing day!

We booked a private room for me, my mom and a few of my girlfriends for me to try on dresses! They made the whole day such a fun experience and ultimately found me my dream dress! Their selection of dresses is insane I don’t think it’s possible to not find what you’re looking for here!

Good bang for your buck!

Studio I do made me feel like family. I had originally went alone, when a lovey older lady,(i believe she is the manager of the store, forgive for not remembering her name!)helped me out. She understood my vision of having a non traditional wedding dress and helped me see my dream. I am so thankful of her and will be buying another dress for my 10 year vow renewal.

Great team and dress selection

I found the dress of my dreams at Studio I Do in Virginia Beach. I loved working with Stacy in picking out my dress and with Mitchell in altering my dress to fit me perfectly. Everyone was great and I could not have been happier.

Get your dress here!

I cannot say enough good things about Studio I Do and their staff!!!! From initially trying on dresses, to saying yes, to fittings; every experience made me feel so beautiful and special. I do not have a local support system, so I went there on a whim to try on dresses by myself. First the space is so beautiful, you feel like you are in a fairytale. Second the staff is amazing! Erin was so kind, patient, and understanding as I spent 3hrs with her trying on dress after dress and changed the vision of what I wanted with each one. Erin was completely unphased by my indecisiveness and quickly learned to read my mind, knowing what details I liked and didn't like before I even realized it. She made me feel like I hadn't come in alone and instead like she was there with me and for me all along. In the end, I had done a 180 from what I walked in wanting to what I ended up loving. I needed to sleep on it and Erin completely understood, I never once felt pressured or forced into anything. A few weeks later I came back to try on the dress Erin picked for me and SAID YES TO THE DRESS! I truly cannot thank Erin enough!!!

Once my dress arrived, I was able to continue to work with Studio I Do and their staff for in-house alterations. Mitchell is truly incredible! At my first fitting, the bodice of my dress needed to be taking in at several locations and I requested one of the layers in my skirt be completely removed, in addition to hem and bustle. I.E. I basically asked for my dress to be completely reconstructed and Mitchell acted as though I asked for the most basic alterations. Also the cost of alterations was extremely reasonable! When I came in for the second fitting, my dress was perfect! It went from being a dress on a hanger, to the dress of my dreams that perfectly fit me and my vision! Mitchell also squeezed me in for a final fitting just a few weeks before my wedding to make sure everything was absolutely perfect! And it was!! Again I cannot thank Mitchell and all of Studio I Do enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
