Sarah R. Sent on 02/25/2024Do yourself a favor and go to Elegant Forever Bridal Boutique!!!
I truly cannot say enough great things about Elegant Forever Bridal Boutique. We arrived and were so sweetly greeted by my bridal consultant, Laura. She made it feel like we were walking into an old friends house and made us feel so welcome. She pulled out a few dresses and was so happily receptive of what I did and didn’t like. She made as all laugh and really took the time to get to know me, my story, and my upcoming wedding.
Going into my first bridal dress appointment, I was nervous about how I would look and feel in a wedding gown. Laura made me feel so comfortable, and beautiful, continuously telling me how great I looked in each gown. She was so patient with me, allowing me to try on and re-try on multiple gowns, and was just as excited as I was when I found my gown. I left with a gown, and a friend, and will look back at this experience with so much happiness for the rest of my life.
I’m not only excited to go back to Elegant Forever Bridal to see my gown in all her glory, but to see Laura once again. She made the experience so magical. Laura, from the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you. -

Wonderful Range of Options and Pricing - Best in Frederick
I had a WONDERFUL experience at this shop last week. I called and spoke with Laura over the phone who seemed very knowledgable and welcoming. I easily made an appointment for Saturday (I would call in advance as their weekend appointments do fill up fast). During the appointment time, you have the entire shop to yourself and work with a consultant to try on dresses and find the right fit. I really appreciated the one on one experience and a true expert that can understand what looks and feels best. I searched a few designers ahead of time and their selection at the store carries some top designers which I was happily surprised to see.
One of their team members, Jovanna was really kind and helpful with me as I tried on so many dresses again and again. There wasn't pressure to buy something right away or purchase their other items they sell (veils, headpieces, under garments, soaps, candles). I actually left the appointment wanting to think over the options I had seen prior to visiting here. Laura made herself available to come back the following week to try on the dress again, which is what I needed to make the final decision on the dream wedding dress. Parking was easy and the staff again made me feel like I was part of the family.
I called six different bridal shops in Maryland and Washington, D.C. and this place was hands down the perfect balance on professionalism, price, and high quality dresses. I 100% recommend getting your dress here! -

This place was a saving grace. It was the last place I made an appointment and it did not disappoint. They were so friendly and very patient. I tried on multiple different styles until I found the one. The alterations department was amazing as well. I went back a few different times to get it altered and each time they were thrilled to see me and did such great work. My dress fit like a glove on my wedding day too. -

Purchasing a wedding gown from Elegant Forever was a beautiful experience. Laura will forever be a truly special memory of this wonderful time. She took the care of my sister, the bride, very personally. Every step of the way she helped make the wedding gown selection and fittings a delightful process. Luba, the seamstress, made the gown uniquely Rebecca’s. The gown was exquisite, perfect.
After the wedding day, Laura’s care did not stop. She carefully cleaned the wedding gown. Although the hem of the dress enjoyed a bit of rain, you would never know it. The dress looks just as new as when we pulled it from its lovely garment bag to lay it out for Rebecca’s special day.
At Elegant Forever you will find Laura, a dear woman who will truly take delight in making your dreams come true.

I was a last minute bride who decided to do a small ceremony in two months and have a bigger ceremony when the pandemic ended. Laura at elegant forever was very accommodating and able to help me find the perfect dress and schedule fittings within one month. -

Incredible Alterations
I purchased my dress out of state and needed alterations done on the dress. I am SO happy I chose to take my dress to Elegant Forever! Everyone there was so kind and welcoming. Due to covid and family being out of town, I attended both appointments alone and felt very comfortable and well taken care of. I almost felt like they were treating me like family! My dress was ready for the 2nd fitting within only 2-3 weeks! All kinds of alterations were put in place including adding structure to the inside of the dress, hemming, and adding a bustle. They also explained to me in detail how the bustle worked and took photos of it to help me explain it to my mom and sister to do it after the pictures were taken. I highly recommend them for alterations on your dress!
Please note that I have posted before and after photos. In the before picture, you can see that the dress does not fit well in the chest area and isn't flattering. Afterwards it looks absolutely PERFECT!

I called the boutique when i was already in the downtown frederick area. I had no appt but when Laura did answer, she assured me that she could find a dress for my niece, the bride, and that she could squeeze my niece in at 1pm. Im so glad we waited because it truly was an experience. The hour is reserve only for the bride, my niece got one on one attention from Laura and jovanna. My niece thought she knew what she wanted but the expertise of laura and jo opened her to new possibilities. She said yes to a beautiful dress and we couldn't be happier. Laura was able to discount the price and throw in some extra accessories. In the end , it was almost 50% off. I'm so happy such a boutique is located in frederick, it truly was an exclusive experience where the bride was not rushed and felt heard. She is happy with her dress and i am happy with the service and affordability of it all. Thank you Laura and Jovanna. -

Ashley Sent on 12/02/2019It was truly a nightmare
I had a nightmare of an experience with Elegant Forever Bridal. I brought my dress in for alterations 6 months before my wedding. During my consultation visit, Laura and her seamstress examined my dress and quoted me a price. They were very pleasant to work with and the price was reasonable. Fast forward to just 1 month before my wedding, out of the blue, Laura tells me she is assigning me a new seamstress who unfortunately charges much higher rates. Even though I had not requested any additional alterations to be made to the dress than what was originally quoted. Laura said there was additional lining in the dress she didn't see during the initial consultation, which she would have to charge me for. Laura said if I did not want to pay the hundreds more, I could take my dress somewhere else. I was completely shocked that Elegant Forever put me in that situation, especially when nothing changed on my end. Not being able to pay new high price, I was scrambling just 1 month before my wedding to finish the alterations myself alongside my grandmother. Elegant Forever refunded me only a portion of what I had payed already, not the full amount. Absolutely horrible experience. I felt that it was a bait and switch on their part. I did not ask for a new seamstress, and it was their mistake not seeing all the lining during the consultation, so I felt that since they made those changes and mistakes, they should have honored the original quote they gave me. They had six months to look at my dress. Why did it take them so long to discuss this with me? It was a nightmare.Elegant Forever Bridal Boutique's reply:
Hi Ashley, we appreciate you sharing your feedback and we are sorry for the experience you had. Unfortunately, we encountered some challenges with the seamstress that did your initial fitting and estimate. That led to some delays and then my decision to reassign your alterations to another seamstress. While late in the process, the other seamstress met with you on June 23rd. At that time, our seamstress re-pinned the dress, discussed some of the adjustments you had communicated since the initial fitting, and reassessed the level of work. This led to an estimate that was higher than our first estimate. It was not our intent to do a “bait and switch” or to upsell alterations work. That is not how we operate and that is not something I would allow as a business owner. We did our best to explain the reasons for the increase and, at the same time, I understood you did not want to pay more than the original estimate. Knowing that we would not be able to meet your needs, we refunded all payments made for the two fittings and accepted a return on the belt (as confirmed in our records and based on the text exchange with you). That refund occurred on July 1st, two months ahead of your wedding date. We do wish you the best. Laura
