    I said yes to the dress!

    The team at Global Bridal Gallery were fantastic to work with! I found my dress during my an appointment with friends, but came back with my family before buying it. They were very accommodating and patient during the buying process. Their alterations team did a wonderful job on both my dress and my mom's dress. They are a one stop shop!

    Helped me find my dream dress

    I bought my wedding dress, veil, and hair accessories at Global Bridal Gallery and every step of the process was excellent. Shopping, service, alterations, everything! They really understood what I wanted for my dress and knew that it needed to fit me, not the other way around. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day in no small part thanks to everyone at Global Bridal. Highly recommend!

    Marie is incredible!

    I walked in there with not much idea of what I wanted. I just wanted a dress that looked good on me. Marie was so patient, warm, friendly and kind. She'd get out a dress, I'd say what I liked or didn't like, within maybe 5 dresses she had absolutely nailed it. When I put my dress on I cried and knew it was the one. I felt like she found something that was flattering for me but also my style. And it was affordable! Shocking. I went there for a few fittings and the whole staff was excellent, my dress fit perfectly and the service was great from beginning to end. Highly recommend.

    Stress-free and respectful!

    I had a wonderful experience with Global Bridal Gallery. I started shopping in December for a June 2024 wedding and everyone at the shop was warm, kind and responsive! They actually LISTENED to my input and pulled dresses which were in my price range, met my criteria and didn't give me any guilt about shopping "too late" for a dress. In comparison, I visited a few other shops where I was shown dresses that were out of my budget and included features I explicitly didn't want. Once I found my dress, their in-house alterations were masterful and the dress fit perfectly.

    Amazing Staff

    Global was my second bridal shop of the day and where I found my dream dress. I really wanted a unique gown with also an over skirt option for the ceremony. The staff was able to see what I really wanted, held the overskirt that came with the dress so I could envision the look. The alterations department executed the vision flawlessly

    Global Bridal Gallery is THE BEST Wedding Gown Shop in the DMV!

    I had the most AMAZING experience with Global Bridal Gallery in Old Town Alexandria! Ms. Marie and her entire team were an extreme joy and pleasure to work with from start to finish! I worked with Global Bridal for several months when it came to selecting and making alterations to both my wedding gown and also my bridesmaids' gowns. When searching for my wedding gown, I had already had an image in my mind of how I wanted my gown to fit and look; however, Ms. Marie and her team introduced me to a Morilee wedding gown, and I completely fell in love. It was the second gown I tried on, and immediately I knew it was the one!

    Once Ms. Marie ordered the gown, we were not expecting it to arrive until a couple of months later, but destiny would have it that my gown arrived in less than two weeks, but of course I recommend selecting and ordering your wedding gown at least 6-7 months in advance, and give yourself even more time if you will need time to get your finances together. In addition, because I was so happy with my wedding gown, I also called on Ms. Marie to help me select my bridesmaids' dresses, which amazingly also ended up being a design by Morilee. Ms. Marie worked with me and my bridesmaids with our payments and was so patient and kind. Ms. Marie even took some of the burden off of me and helped to reduce my stress by offering to call and follow up with each bridesmaid to make sure that they ordered their dresses in time, came to try them on, etc. I was so grateful! I even ended up purchasing some gorgeous custom sleeves through one of their vendors to add to my dress, as well as my wedding earrings, veil, and headdress.

    Joy and Dina in alterations were so amazing with altering my gown and some of my bridesmaids' dresses. The day of my wedding (Sept. 2, 2023) was so beautiful and completely epic! We all looked so elegant and like an image out of a magazine or picture book. Everyone said that I looked like a princess, and I certainly felt like one! If I would go through this process all over again I would choose to select my gown and bridesmaids' dresses through Global Bridal! You can tell that the staff absolutely LOVE what they do, and they aim to make you happy and satisfied with your dress/es, pricing, and overall outcome! THE BEST BRIDAL SHOP TEAM EVER!

    Global Bridal Helped me Find the Dress of My Dreams!

    After a rather unsuccessful day of wedding dress shopping (stopping at multiple appointments at other dress shops), my mom and I ended our day at Global Bridal, and we are so glad that we did!

    Every dress I tried on there was hand-picked based on my vision and body type. Whenever I tried on a new dress, I thought it was "the one." Also, every dress hand-picked was under budget!

    So thankful that Global Bridal made the experience fun and easy! 10/10 recommend to every bride for their big day!

    The dress of my dreams

    This is what every wedding dress shopping experience should be. The ambiance felt serene and I felt like the only bride on Ms. Marie’s mind. She made me feel so special when I tried on dresses the first time, and then when I came back the second time to make sure it was The One (which it was!!). I loved how excited she was for me when I decided on my dress and appreciated that she was genuine in her advice on what worked and what didn’t. And I LOVED the dress I chose! It fit like a glove, thanks to their seamstress but I still had room to breathe and eat. The dress couldn’t have been better.

    The Best Boutique in the DMV

    I found my dream wedding gown at this boutique (Morilee 2401 Dauphine). Marie is a fantastic consultant who truly listened to me during this process (I'm a very petite bride). She helped me find the most fantastic gown (it was the first gown she pulled). I love that this boutique has a variety of gowns that are within an affordable price range. The customer service is great, and they did a wonderful job on alterations.

    Found the perfect dress for me within budget

    Marie at Global Bridal Gallery helped me find the perfect dress within my budget. I stated ideally I'd stay under $500 but my budget was $1500 and she found the perfect dress for less than $800! It was the first dress I tried on, and she let me try a few more options, was never pushy, and even encouraged me to go back to the first dress that I couldn't get out of my head. I would recommend this location to all brides! Perfect for getting a lunch and drink nearby.

    Best dress shopping experience!!

    I’ve been dress shopping at least 10 times and this was by far my best experience. Both consultants were so attentive to my friend and I, they listened to what we wanted and let us browse the dresses ourselves. There are a ton of dresses to choose from and all at great price points too! Would recommend to anyone!!!

    Great Experience!!

    I went to Global twice for dress shopping. They have a large selection. Ms. Marie and the rest of the staff were spectacular to work with. The ladies made me feel super comfortable. They were helpful and knew what would work for you body/personality. My mom also got her mother of the bride dress from GBG. She loved working with Ms. Marie. She drove up from Richmond for her fittings and was thrilled with the service. Alterations was great as well.

    Variety of unique and beautiful dresses

    I went to Global Bridal Gallery back in 2019 for my wedding dress. They were so patient during the process of trying on dresses and selection. There were so many gorgeous ones, it was so difficult to choose! I picked a Martin Thornburg dress with straps, delicate details, and a long train. I was supposed to wear it in my 2020 wedding, but finally had the chance to wear it recently in May 2022. It is such a beautiful dress and I am so happy I went to Global Bridal Gallery. I highly recommend this shop to all of the brides-to-be!

    Found my dress!

    I went here for my 2nd time trying on wedding dresses and thought I knew what I wanted/liked. Turns out I fell in love with something completely different! Maria was outstanding, she listened to every little comment I made and went searching multiple times to pull out more dresses. Each time she took care in clipping the dress to fit me and was so patient with me throughout it all. She truly made this experience seamless and wonderful. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back for alterations!

    Perfect Dress

    If you're looking for your perfect wedding dress, Global Bridal Gallery should be at the top of your list. I went to several other dress shops, but Global Bridal nailed it. They have a great selection of dresses to fit every style and consultants who listen and find just the right options. The alterations were professionally done and my dress looked amazing when I picked it up. This place is a gem in the heart of Alexandria.

    Great dresses and service. Reasonable prices.

    They are the sweetest! I tried on a number of different styles and cuts, and the staff was so helpful as I tried to determine what was best. The appointments were always enjoyable and the alterations staff was very helpful too. Dress options come at reasonable prices.

    The perfect dress experience!

    I cannot say enough about my girl Marie. Do yourself a favor and see her at global bridal gallery! She will hype you up, she will listen to your input, and she will find you a dress that fits your budget and your vision. I went to her on my own during covid since my family and friends are from out of town. She was my bridal consultant, my mom, and my best friend all wrapped into one. I was so stressed about dress shopping beforehand - coming to GBB was a huge sigh of relief!

    PS - They also do alterations and I got my veil there as well!

    Fantastic service!

    Global Bridal Gallery was a dream come true for dress shopping and alterations. The dress shopping experience was phenomenal – Marie and Serki both listened to exactly what I was saying I wanted and brought me dresses that fit the bill – the third one I tried on was the one! They were also just the warmest, most pleasant salespeople ever – my mom and I felt like they were members of the family by the time we left the store. They were super supportive about me going to another dress store I had already made an appointment at before deciding on my dress, but told me “we can tell you love it and we know you’ll be back” – and they were right! I came back the next day, tried the dress on again, and bought it. I also did my alterations with Global Bridal Gallery and they did a phenomenal job. I had two fittings and needed minimal alterations – cups added, taken in at the waist, taken out at the hips, bustle added – and they executed them perfectly. They made me feel beautiful every time I came in. I cannot thank Global Bridal Gallery enough for making me feel like the gorgeous bride I had always hoped to be.

    I found my dream dress here thanks to their incredibly helpful staff! They listened to exactly what I wanted in a dress and this was one of the first I tried on! I felt super safe any time I came back during COVID to get my fittings and pick up the dress. I can’t recommend Global Bridal enough for any bride looking for their perfect wedding dress!

    Great service & beautiful selection of dresses

    I went to Global Bridal Gallery on the advice of a friend, and I am so glad that I did. The team at GBG is extremely knowledgeable and such a joy to work with.

    Global Bridal Gallery was the second salon I went to on my first day of wedding gown shopping - it ended up being the last! Surki, my consultant, immediately figured out what my style was - A-line or ballgown with straps. She pulled a selection of five gowns she thought might work with my shape and style. The first one she put me in ended up being my gown! She had amazing knowledge of the inventory and such a keen eye for style, shape, and design. I was so glad to work with a consultant who understood precisely what I was looking for and didn't push me into a style that I wasn't comfortable in. I also choose to have my alterations done at GBG, and they were flawless.

    One thing I very much appreciated about Global Bridal Gallery is the way they treated their customers. Gown shopping was the part of wedding planning I feared most. I am a "curvy" woman and despite losing a significant amount of weight, I am not quite a sample size. GBG stocks a good variety of gowns in larger sample sizes. I appreciated feeling "bridal" having gowns to try on that were closer to my proportions. Additionally, I felt no judgement about my figure. Instead, the entire team from the consultants to the alterations specialists are very positive.

    I will definitely recommend Global Bridal Gallery to my friends. This far more than a 5 star experience!

    Incredible to work with from start to finish!

    Back in May 2019, I kicked off my wedding dress search at Global Bridal and went with a little group to have the whole experience. The GBG team helped make it such an incredibly special appointment and gave me the whole experience (which apparently is not the norm, because the second place we went to literally made me cry and they were not happy tears). After going to about 6 or so other stores, I was not finding at all what I was imagining and the dresses I had wanted to try weren't in stock in the area, so I decided to go back to GBG with just my mom. When we walked in, we were greeted by Marie, who is so incredibly kind and friendly, who told me they had just received a new dress that no one had even tried on yet but it seemed similar to the dresses I had been looking for. I put it on immediately and didn't want to take it off. It meant so much that they really listened and thought about what I was looking for.

    The alterations were fantastic as well. I worked with Stacie initially and had this really extra idea of adding tulle bows that acted kind of like a cape/veil. She completely understood what I was looking for, got super excited with me, and helped us create the effect so I could wear it for my ceremony and take it off after.

    We are now in the process of going back to GBG for the preservation services because they have been so wonderful and trustworthy every step of the way.

    Also, they are right next to District Taco, so when you are super hungry after a fitting, you can grab some pretty good tacos. Just felt that was helpful to add.

    Perfect, easy going!

    Danielle was terrific, she did not rush me and took her time in helping me find the right fit, style of dress and shared options I could do to customize it or update it. I was very grateful for her ability to listen and work with me, it helped the stressful situation seem seamless! I also had the fitting down here and it was the best. All the staff were great from giving advice, doing the alterations, making or changing appointments and being flexible on dates. I would truly recommend this store and any of the staff as an excellent place to purchase, alter and even clean/store your wedding dress! Thank you all for making my day a special one 😘

    Incredible team!

    I initially chose to visit GBG due to all their 5-star reviews. Bridal shops can be a little uncomfortable when sharing your size, budget, style, etc. Global Bridal Gallery listened to my needs and feedback and respected my budget from the first visit! They were very honest about costs “that dress is beautiful, but, it’s more than your budget…” and then would find me a similar style dress within my budget. I actually came back a few times to try on dresses and they were extremely patient each time. They were upfront about the adjustments that would need to be made to the dress I finally picked and how much those would cost. On my wedding day, I had a dress that looked like it was MADE FOR ME thanks to Global Bridal Gallery!! And yes, my husband cried when he saw me in it. Wonderful experience and would recommend to any and all brides!!

    So happy from start to finish!

    Global bridal and their employees are excellent to work with. I went a few different places before this place, and was feeling discouraged.
    I showed a picture of what I was looking for to the person helping us out on the particular Saturday we went, and the second dress I tried on I fell in love!
    Reasonably priced and they were super helpful from start to finish.
    Could not of been happier!

    Get your wedding dress here!

    You guys. BEST VALUE IN NOVA FOR A WEDDING GOWN. I got the wedding gown of my dreams for such a reasonable price. Besides, I had such a fun dress shopping experience, and the staff is just the sweetest. They had my gown altered way ahead of time, which left plenty of time for any last minute details.

    Danielle is outstanding!

    Global Bridal Gallery is amazing. I went with my Mom and FMIL, not thinking I would leave buying my wedding dress. I went in knowing whatr style I liked, which was a high neck. I described to Danielle elements in a dress I liked, and Danielle brought out the first dress, which ended up being MY wedding dress! The whole experience was amazing, between the fittings, picking out the bridesmaid dresses, etc. The staff is so friendly (which surprisingly, is hard to come by these days!) Price for what I got out of my dress was perfect for me. They have a huge variety of dresses!

    Amazing experience!

    I had such a great experience buying my dress from Global Bridal Gallery! They have a large selection and were able to pull a ton of dresses for me to try on the fit my vision and my budget. I found my dream dress during my first visit and after two alterations appointments, it fit perfectly. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free!

    Wonderful experience!

    I feel as though I have lived at Global Bridal for the past year between my friends’ wedding dress fittings and my own! I wouldn’t have traded it for the world! Marie is the wedding dress whisperer and I felt like she knew my vision for my dress before I even did! I also chose to have my dress altered at Global and I am so happy I did because Ms Joyce was a miracle worker! I am so happy with her work because I felt so comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day! Excellent service, communication and flexibility! They were all very accommodating to my schedule for my fittings! I would highly recommend Global to any bride out there!

    Exceptional + Friendly Service!

    From the moment we walked into Global Bridal gallery, I was met with excitement and care. The attendant who helped me, Marie was so kind and found the exact dress I was looking for. It was literally the first dress I tried on in the store, and I knew it was the one. I also decided to have my dress altered there and received exceptional service. It was a pleasure and ease working with Stacie, and she always made me feel comfortable and made me trust her with altering my wedding dress. I couldn't recommend this place more - beautiful dresses, and great service - you can't go wrong!

    Beautiful Dress, Affordable Price

    Being a woman on the thicker, shorter side, I knew it would be difficult finding a wedding dress. But Danielle at Global Bridal Gallery found me the perfect one. As soon as I put it on, I knew it was the right one. It was strapless with a simple lace pattern and an A line skirt, which was quite flattering on someone with my body shape. The tailoring team then did a wonderful job of hemming the dress, creating the bustles, and tweaking the bodice to fit me. I loved my experiences at Global Bridal Gallery, and I owe it to them for making me look gorgeous on my big day.

    Brooks/Mitchell Wedding 5/24

    The ladies at Global bridal were wonderful to work with over the last 6 months. Everything from the day of trying on gowns, to the delivery of my gown, alterations, and final fitting was a great experience.

    I went to the boutique with ideas of dresses that I absolutely loved. The representative that worked with me took those pictures and brought out the winning dress. From the time I put it on, I knew that was it!

    Amazing experience, perfect dress

    I visited four bridal salons to find my dress, but my favorite dresses AND the best experience was at Global Bridal Gallery by far. My consultant Marie was full of energy and enthusiasm. She also really understood my taste from a simple explanation. While I liked dresses at other salons, I didn't have the full wedding dress shopping experience. At the end of my appointment there were three dresses that I loved, but I waited until after my final Bridal salon appointment to make a decision. The next salon the I went to just could not compare. The next day I was back to buy an Eddie K at Global Bridal Gallery.

    Stress-Free Experience

    I had a overall pleasant and stress-free experience at Global Bridal Gallery. I worked with Vicki on multiple occasions. My first appointment was on a Saturday, and they were very busy; however, Vicki was great and found multiple dresses for me to try on (based upon my vision). While I did not find the dress on this first occasion, I returned mid-week and Vicki had already pulled a few dresses she thought I would like, one of which would become my dress. I also opted to get my alterations and post-wedding cleaning done at Global Bridal Gallery, and was happy with their work.

    Great Experience!

    I ordered a dress today and will update this review after the dress arrives, but I had to share my wonderful experience with Global Bridal Gallery. At my first visit, I was stick in traffic and 20 minutes late - they were about to close and rather than turning me away, four of the consultants stayed and helped me as a group! The team was so positive and seemed genuinely enthusiastic for me. They had many beautiful options but I had an extremely specific idea in mind of what I wanted, so I did not “say yes” to a dress at my first appointment.

    After visiting 10+ stores in the DC metro area with no luck finding my dream dress within budget, I started looking at dresses online. I found a few that were perfect but none of the stores in the area carried a sample. Most stores seemed uninterested in helping me try any dress on that was not currently in their store. Some did offer to have a sample shipped but it would take a long time and I would have to pay a substantial fee just to try it on. Finally, one of the vendors I contacted told me a sample was available to try in a store but it was over 100 miles from my home. Fortunately, Global Bridal Gallery stepped in (they are much closer to me) and was willing to work with the vendor to get the sample for me in only 3 days and no charge! I ended up purchasing the dress and they called the manufacturer while I was there to ensure they were getting the best information for me- they made recommendations to save money on alterations/customizations and took great care when speaking to the dress manufacturer to ensure they could accommodate my customization requests and get the best sizing for me.

    They were upfront about all costs and were very organized and thorough. I feel confident that there will not be any surprises or issues when I pick it up even though I had quite a few customizations.

    If you are looking for an enthusiastic, meticulous, and accommodating team to help you get the perfect dress, this is your place!

    Wonderful Service and Selection

    I had so much fun choosing my dress and working with Global Bridal Gallery! We bought my dress and all 8 bridesmaids’ dresses with the store and they were pleasant to work with and helpful when things went unexpended. They have a great selection and were helpful without being too overbearing with their opinions. As a local bride it was important to me to shop small for my dress and their store definitely gives you that experience!

    Great Experience

    Everyone at Global Bridal is so nice and helpful. I showed a few pictures for ideas, and they knew exactly what dress to pull. I had less than two months, but they worked their magic, and were able to get the dress and alter it. A friend recommended Global Bridal to me, and I also would recommend friends to come here!

    Say Yes to Global Bridal!

    Global Bridal was the second bridal shop I visited and the last. I went in thinking I had already chosen my dream dress from another place even though it needed a lot of changes done to it to make it my dream dress. I described the dress I was going to get and how I was going to change it to the ladies they said "why buy a dress you're going to change? we have that exact dress here" and proceeded to pull out my dream dress! It was everything I wanted and the ladies were soooo helpful when I was deciding-they even had the original dress that I wanted there. They were super honest in which one they thought looked better and I knew they weren't just trying to make a sale because the one they said I should get was cheaper than the other. Going in for fittings was fun because they remembered me and my mom and even helped her find a beautiful mother of the bride dress. I would recommend this place to anyone because they made the entire experience stress free and wonderful.

    My experience with global bridal gallery was outstanding! Their team went above and beyond to make the whole process seamless. Surki helped me choose the most amazing and flattering wedding dress. Marie helped me choose complimentary bridesmaids dresses and all of the ladies in the alterations department made everything fit perfectly like a glove. I felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day all thanks to the wonderful team at GBG! So many guests were in awe of my dress and I was even told I resembled Audrey Hepburn. The best compliment ☺️ Thank you for all that you do and keep up the phenomenal work! If I could do it all over again I would choose this shop every time.

    This was the first place I visited when looking for a dress - although I ended up going to a few more places to make sure I didn’t miss anything, I ultimately ended up coming back to purchase the second dress I had tried on here. Our consultant Danielle was fabulous in helping us pull dresses in the style I liked and described to her. The dress I bought was actually one that she suggested I try, and I am so glad I did! Prices are definitely reasonable for the area and there is a good selection spread throughout 2 main different rooms (a 3rd room offers bridesmaid and mother dresses). I also purchased my veil and an accent belt here. The on site alterations are good - my dress didn’t require much in the way of alterations, so I can’t really speak to skill in terms of hemming or more involved alterations, but they got the job done. They do store the dress for you which is great, as some in Georgetown do not. Had a great experience and would recommend Global Bridal (and especially Danielle!) to brides to be!

    I went shopping here for my wedding dress and, although I didn't find my dress here, I had a great experience. I worked with Vickie on two separate visits, and she was incredibly sweet and helpful. She found a number of beautiful dresses for me, all within my price range. The store itself has a very nice selection, although I was a little disappointed that they didn't have many of the dresses that I had wanted to try on from Watters' Willowby line. Nevertheless, I would totally recommend this shop if you are in the market for wedding apparel!

    I had a wonderful experience with Global Bridal Gallery! They did not pressure me into any one dress and were able to help me find the perfect one. Scheduling appointments was very easy, despite the high demand season from December-June. They have their own on-site alterations team and they did a terrific job with making my dress fit me perfectly. Would recommend this bridal shop to anyone!

    I am so thankful that I found Global Bridal Gallery!! I ended up there after purchasing a dress at a different store and canceling the order. Dress-less and in a panick, I searched for stores that I could quickly get to from my office. Global bridal came up and carried several designers I was interested in, and a particular dress that I wanted to try on.

    I felt instantly comfortable as soon as I walked into the store. I worked with Marie, who was so understanding of my situation, and helped pull several dresses that fit the style I was looking for, including the one that I had my eye on. She spent so much time with me, helping to take pictures of each dress I was trying on, since I was shopping alone.

    I should mention that at this point, I had tried on close to 100 dresses. I hadn’t gotten *the* feeling about a dress yet and I was starting to think that I wouldn’t, which I was okay with. Then, Marie put me in the dress that I had really come in to try on. And she was there to give me a big hug when I started crying because I had finally found the dress!!! She was also completely understanding when I couldn’t purchase the dress that day, because my mom wasn’t with me and set up an appointment for a couple weeks later when my mom could be in town.

    A couple weeks later, with my mom in tow, we went back to try on the dress. Again, Marie was amazing and even went around the shop with my mom to pull several more dresses for me to try on to make sure that the one was really *the*one*. We walked out very happy customers.

    When my dress came in about six months later, I had an amazing experience with alterations. They spent so much time with me, each appointment lasting on average of an hour. They made sure that everything was exactly as I wanted it and addressed all my concerns. They even opened a half hour early the day I went to go pick up my dress with my mom and my maid of honor to accommodate our schedule! I couldn’t be happier with my experience!

    Global bridal gallery was the 3rd bridal shop that I went to. They were the first place that respected my budget and did not bring me something $500 more than what said my budget was. I was shown multiple beautiful dresses based on the description and ideas I had and I am happy to say I found my perfect dress! And I stayed within my budget even with alterations. They charge a one time fee for alterations, even if you end up needing more alterations. I did not find this kind of services anywhere else. I am not local to the area, so they worked with me to get the dress in my size and have it ready for my first fitting 7 months before my wedding (and only 3 months after I originally found the dress). Stacy, who worked with me on alterations, was absolutely fantastic! She was very nice, careful, meticulous and extremely attentive. I ended up needing some alteration 3 days before my wedding (when I had my last fitting). They worked with me to make sure everything was done quickly and perfectly! I literally could not have asked for a better experience with finding, buying, fitting and altering my wedding dress! If you want to find a beautiful dress, stay within your budget and work with talented, amazing and extremely nice people - then look no further than Global Bridal Gallery! You won't be sorry!

    Global Bridal Gallery was incredible! I got my gown from here and got alterations here as well. The stylists were so incredibly helpful while I was going through the process of trying gowns on. They chose the one I purchased and it was perfect!! The alterations ladies were also wonderful. They made sure my dress was absolutely perfect. They paid such close attention to how it fit me and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted for the big day! We truly enjoyed working with them throughout this process!

    Finding my wedding dress was a difficult process. I had a very specific vision in mind and could not find what I was looking for in my budget. That was until we went to Global Bridal Gallery. The whole process, from trying on dresses to the final fitting, was smooth and stress-free as possible. I was helped by Marie, who was professional and very kind. The thing that set this place apart for me was that they have classic, elegant dresses. Too often in my search I found dresses that were the result of "fast fashion" but I was going for a more timeless look and they had exactly that.

    It was such a pleasure shopping for my wedding dress at Global Bridal. I had visited two other stores before my visit and they could not compare to the service and experience at Global Bridal. I brought my mother and future mother-in-law with me, and Marie was absolutely exceptional in listening to all of our thoughts/idea. She was super patient, incredibly nice, and made me feel comfortable within a few minutes, a feeling I did not have at the other stores. She also knows everything about the dresses in the store. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted and after putting me in a few dresses that were close but not perfect, she found two options that were spot-on. She really listened to me as I tried on each dress (again, something that was lacking at the other stores) and stayed within my budget. I felt so comfortable working with her and could not be more grateful for her help in finding my dress.

    After I decided on my dress, my mother wanted to try on a few mother-of-the-bride dresses (not planned). She bought her dress, also gorgeous, within minutes of looking after trying on only three options. I also used Global Bridal’s alteration services and had a wonderful experience with Stacy. I had 3 fittings, and at each one she was super sweet and very attentive to my concerns. By the time I walked out of the store with my dress, I couldn’t have been happier. Global Bridal truly provides the experience you hope to have when searching for a dress, from start to finish. Thanks so much, Marie and Stacy!

    OH MY GOSH! This place is a diamond in the rough! 5 stars aren't enough. The love you feel from the moment you walk into the boutique is overwhelming and exceptional! Global bridal exceeded my expectations and then some. They have a huge selection and pay attention to your unique needs and wants. I had tried on about 38 dresses before coming to Global Bridal and I was beginning to lose hope that I would ever find MY DREAM dress. When I had expressed that to Marie (who was the sweetest, loving and most patient woman on the earth) she said don’t worry, I'm going to find you your dream dress. She started of good and kept getting better. She kept her word and I left Global Bridal with my dream dress that I thought never existed. I am so overwhelmed with joy I can't stop looking at my dress online and I can't wait for my fiancé to see me in it. I would definitely recommend this boutique to any and every one. Their customer service speaks for its self they make you feel like family and they share in the joy of finding your dress as if you are their own child/family member. Again 5 stars are not enough they should get 10 stars! Thank you again Global Bridal xoxoxo

    Danielle, Stacy, Mary Lou, Marie, and the whole Global Bridal team were amazing! This was the only bridal shop I visited in late June with my mom. Danielle was excellent and helped me find my perfect dress. My wedding was in early December, and I wanted to have lace sleeves, so the Global Bridal alterations team was able to match a lace sleeve jacket perfectly to my dress. I loved going to Global Bridal every time for my fittings. Stacy was so friendly and made me feel so special. Overall, it was a magical, wonderful experience. Highly recommend Global Bridal for their affordable dress selections and amazing alteration talent! Attached is the original dress I selected (strapless) and a couple of final alteration pictures with the lace sleeve jacket.

    I had an incredible experience working with the truly wonderful staff at Global Bridal Gallery. I was a slight bridezilla and they were so accommodating, helpful, and professional. My consultant knew exactly what I was looking for and pulled the perfect dress for me. I knew it instantly and it was just perfect. The alterations department are very dedicated and talented individuals. They made sure everything was perfect and exactly how I wanted my dress to fit on our big day. I would highly recommend them. They are a one stop shop.

    This place is THE BEST! I got my dress here after looking elsewhere. I described what I wanted, and the very first dress Marie brought me was "the one." While I was there, THREE other brides also found their dresses. None of the dresses were remotely alike, and we all looked amazing in them. They did a great job on the alterations too -- even putting in pockets at my request so I had a place to hide my lip gloss and handkerchief (which came in very handy during the ceremony). Finally, since I was getting married in Colorado, they had me bring my carry-on luggage and packed the dress for me so that I didn't need to risk getting my baggage lost. This place is a real neighborhood gem.

    Global Bridal was fantastic. From the associates on the floor helping me find my dress, to Ms. Stacy and Ms. Mary Lou in alterations, everyone is professional, kind, and helpful. I never once experienced any sort of body shaming that brides have complained of in other bridal shops. Everyone here was respectful and affirming of all sizes and types. I also greatly appreciated that they respected all price points and did their best to meet them. They asked before showing me a dress that was only a little over budget. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I tell everyone to go here.

    This was the first place I went to look at and try on dresses. I was a little nervous, but as soon as I walked in the global bridal team made me feel very comfortable. They were not pushing about me trying on dresses. If they pulled a dress and asked me what I thought and I did not like it they did not make me feel pressured to try it on. They listened to which styles I wanted and also pulled a few they thought I might like once they got to know me. At the end of our appointment I ended up finding my dress with the help of the fabulous ladies at global bridal.

    I couldn't be happier with Global Bridal for my dress selection and alterations. When I was dress shopping, Marie was my consultant and she listened to what I was looking for and the first dress she had me try was the dress I chose. You know a consultant really listens when that happens. But every dress she put me in looked good, so even if that one hadn't worked, she gave me lots of great options that were all well in my price range. She was also SO excited for me - that's just her personality - but it really made me and my mom feel good.

    The alterations were also over-the-top amazing. Stacy was my helper and she was so excited for me, professional and efficient. She and her team (I met Ms. Mary Lou as well) were great and made my dress look awesome. The price was about what I expected ($450 for taking up the hem, shortening straps and adding a belt). They even steam your dress and veil for you when you pick it up for the big day. I can't say enough great things about this whole team.

    Highly recommend Dawn at Global Bridal, but I don't know if she still works there. When I stopped by to say Hi during my alterations, the other shop ladies acted like they didn't know who I was talking about. But I loved Dawn. Extremely knowledgeable about gowns, and incredibly patient. I called her "The Bride Whisperer." Gowns in the shop are reasonably priced...much more reasonable than the other bridal shops I visited in Old Town Alexandria. The alterations are done in a different office around the corner from the dress shop. There was a bit of a language barrier in the alterations shop, but the alterations were done well and on-time. They did a good job sewing a corset into the dress I bought. The shop doesn't have too many lace-trimmed veils, but they had one that worked for me. Definitely stop by to see if they have the right dress for you, I was thrilled with mine.

    I LOVE Global Bridal! I worked with Marie and Stacy and they were both outstanding people. Not only are they invested in you, they provided an instantaneous connection. It was like I was shopping with friends. They kept me in my budget and gave me a lot to choose from. They also wanted me to find the right dress, not buy for the sake of spending money. I ended up purchasing a Morilee gown for ~$1450, but I tried on gowns ranging from $1100-1900. Every time I came back to the store for a fitting, Marie greeted me and my mom with hugs. Stacy was our alterations seamstress and she was THE BOMB. Not only is she SO much fun to talk to, she treats your dress as if it's hers. My dress fit like a glove and my alterations were well priced at $200 (I took in straps, bust, waist, and hips. My dress was all over lace with an open back). I had complete trust in the team and love them to pieces. We also got our bridesmaids dresses and mother of the bride dress there, and received a 10% discount since we had purchased my wedding dress through Global. What a plus! For bridesmaids/MOB we had Justine as our consultant. She is also awesome. My only critique is that the dressing rooms are on the smaller side and parking is street parking; however, Old Town Alexandria is the best so I can't complain. Global is also broken in to several storefronts so that can be a little confusing, but the staff is super helpful so they get you to the right spot. Definitely shop here!

    Global Bridal was the second bridal salon I went to in my dress hunt. I live in Baltimore and had planned to buy slightly closer, but my cousin is in Alexandria and my mom was there at the time. It was a last minute decision, recommended by my cousin who had a close friend find her dress at Global Bridal (and another after me!), and they fit us in! When I walked in, I liked that it was smaller and felt slightly less overwhelming than the previous salon I had been to (big, gorgeous dresses, but slightly overwhelming). I explained my ideal look and showed the consultant dresses I had tried. She pulled wonderful dresses (all under budget) and the first one was a winner! She still insisted I try on others, which was really fun and solidified my love for the first dress. They helped me find the perfect veil and belt (worn at the reception). I loved my experience there.

    I did alterations at Global Bridal as well and found that they were attentive and flexible. I truly loved how the dress came out and would highly recommend Global Bridal to anyone!

    Thank you Global Bridal! You were so sweet, helpful, and patient! My seamstress was the best! Everyone LOVED my dress and complimented me on it all night. It was the perfect dress for me-- I felt like a princess. And the last minute swap of my veil I no longer needed for a gorgeous crystal bracelet work out great. The staff is amazing!

    I walked into Global Bridal Gallery and gave them a bit of information about my budget & style preferences - they came back with 5 dresses and 1 of them was absolutely perfect. They really listened to me and knew their inventory well and were a joy to work with. Their shop is clean and nice to visit for follow ups and the alterations were great as well!

    Global bridal gallery made dress shopping a breeze! I had been to one other bridal shop for a sample sale and was not impressed with the dresses or the consultant helping me. I then went to Global Bridal Gallery and worked with Marie and it was like night and day! I showed Marie a few pictures and gave a brief description of what I liked and didn't like and how I wanted to look and she went to work! Within a few minutes she came back with 3 or 4 dresses UNDER my budget that were gorgeous! Each dress I tried I loved until she showed me the "one" and we all agreed this was it. Marie was so friendly and accommodating even when I told her I wanted to try looking a few more places. I came back multiple times to see if the dress was still available and if the price had gone down any. When I finally decided to purchase Marie gave me a discount on the dress and shipping which really helped stay under budget! They were prompt and efficient in letting me know when my dress arrived. I cannot say enough good things about this shop, definitely recommend!

    I am so happy I bought my dress at Global Bridal. Dawn was my consultant, and she is fantastic. I really wanted a ball gown with straps and a v-neck. I went to multiple other salons that had very few dress options with straps, and I was ready to give up and go with a strapless dress. Then I went to Global Bridal and described what I wanted to Dawn - she understood my vision immediately and gave me so many great options that I had a hard time choosing. I also had a great experience getting my dress tailored at Global Bridal. The dress we ordered fit almost perfectly, so Global Bridal just needed to hem it, add a bustle, and tighten the straps. They did a great job with the alterations (and also explained to my mom and sister how to bustle my dress in a way that was really clear and easy to understand). Finally, Global Bridal was extremely flexible and really made themselves available to me. I picked up my dress the Sunday before my wedding, and after sleeping on it decided one of my straps was a bit too tight. They got me in for another fitting on Wednesday night and made the changes immediately (while my parents and I went out to dinner). It was a great experience all around, and I highly recommend them.

    We had a great experience at Global Bridal Gallery. Marie was very knowledgeable and immediately understood our daughter and how she wanted to look and feel on her wedding day. She worked within our more limited budget to find the perfect dress for her and the venue from their selection of exquisite Robert Bullock gowns and also helped us choose a veil to complement the gown. The sizing and ordering process was easy and smooth and we all, including my husband, felt comfortable there. I highly recommend both Global Bridal Gallery and Robert Bullock's designs.

    Global Bridal Gallery was a wonderful place to find my dress. They were my first and only boutique I visited. They listened to my needs and stayed within my budget. They also have a wide variety of dresses to try. Not one dress I tried on was the same! I'm looking forward to receiving my dress and beginning the alterations process with them!

    My dress was literally my dream dress! I went in for my consultation with Ms. Marie and I brought along my maid of honor (sister) and my niece (flower girl). The environment of the salon was soooo nice. I felt like I knew everyone there for a while. I tried my dress on and immediately knew this was the one. Everyone else agreed and Ms. Marie thought I should try a different dress on just so I could truly see that my first choice was it. Although there was no need for that, it was nice that she offered because I had been to other shops and when you mention trying another one on they would make faces. The whole process there was amazing. I loved going in for my consultation all the way to my final fitting after the alterations. Ms. Mary Lou was amazing! All of the alterations were just perfect. Thank you to everyone at Global Bridal Gallery for helping me along the way and making dress shopping such an amazing experience!

    The entire Global Bridal Gallery team is great! They make you feel so welcome. They are very helpful and even when you don't know exactly what you are looking for, they pick the perfect dress for you! They make you feel like family. The alterations process was easy and the young girl helping me (forget her name) was so kind. I chose a bustle that was somewhat difficult, so she took time to tie gold strings on the hooks so my maid of honor could find them on the wedding day. Highly recommend Global Bridal Gallery!

    I would give global bridal 10 stars if I could. I looked forward to every single appointment I had here. The whole experience was fantastic. The employees were SO delightful and knowledgable. They listened to my likes and dislikes and helped me find my dream wedding dress my first day looking!! I ended up getting my dress altered here and I have no regrets. This too was a positive experience. I can't recommend them enough. Go here! You won't be disappointed!!!

    The crew at Global Bridal are very friendly and make sure that you are happy with everything! Both my sister and I picked our wedding dresses from Global. I got the best service from the time I arrived to find my dress until I picked up the dress a few days before my wedding. They also really went above and beyond to help my mom find a dress for our wedding day. They definitely have a good selection of wedding dressed and bridesmaid dresses.

    I was looking for shops in Old Town to find my dress, and when I read the reviews for Global Bridal Gallery, I knew I had to go there because of the exceptional reviews so many had given them before. From the moment I walked in, they were so friendly and welcoming. They didn't push me to buy anything on my first visit because my mom (who lives out of state) wasn't there for that appointment, and I really appreciated that they genuinely understood how important that was to me. Finally, when I returned to the salon with my mother for the next appointment, I found my dress! I was so excited and they made me feel so special. The next day, however, I started feeling very nervous that I had jumped the gun and committed too quickly. I called the salon, and they told me I could come back in and we'd work out something. They spent so much time letting me try on other styles that second day (even though I wasn't on the books for an appointment and the store was busy!), and they never let me feel like I was a burden or that I was being dramatic (which, let's be honest, I was!). I was still struggling with the new styles I was trying on, and after several dresses, they put me back in the sample of the one I had bought the day before. I fell in love again, and they celebrated me finding my dress just as much as they did the day before.

    When it came to alterations, they were so helpful. I was losing weight for the wedding, and I wasn't an easy alterations bride because everytime I came in, I needed more taken in. My last fitting, I still needed more alterations. Never once did they make me feel guilty or that the fit issues couldn't be fixed. They listened to my concerns and made me feel like they genuinely cared about how I felt and looked on my big day.

    I would highly recommend any bride to try Global Bridal - they are so friendly, professional, and caring of each of their brides!

    I was very nervous about the dress-shopping experience and came here on a recommendation from a friend. Any worry melted away once I met Dawn and the rest of the staff. They were so genuinely nice and wonderful and made me feel at ease. Dawn's choices were right on-par with what I was looking for and she gave good guidance in picking THE dress. They have beautiful options at every budget, are warm and lovely and you just cannot go wrong with a stop here. I would advise to come during the week! Thank you Global Bridal and Dawn!

    Global Bridal Gallery was the second place I tried when searching for my wedding dress. I had some horrible experiences just browsing for stores earlier, with rude vendors who seemed to scrutinize me. Not true of the staff here! Justine was the first person I met and she was warm and friendly from the very start. She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for (a modest, lightweight, flowing dress that I could breathe and move in)! She picked out my wedding dress on her second try! Two of my bridesmaids and my maid of honor were their during my first trial and all three of them immediately agreed that the dress I eventually chose was the one! The alterations staff was phenomenal in making sure my dress fit perfectly and I looked like royalty on my special day! Thank you, Global Bridal Gallery, for doing such a wonderful job in finding the perfect dress for me. This is VERY hard to do as I am extremely particular and once I have a certain style in mind, it is hard to find exactly that style within my price range! Global Bridal Gallery did just that! They even were able to customize it for me! I couldn't have asked for a more radiant and exquisite gown or accommodating service! :)

    I cannot say enough about Global Bridal. They are amazing. My fiance and I decided to plan a wedding less than 6 months after our engagement - one of my biggest fears was not being able to get a dress I loved in time. But, the ladies here made it happen! It started with Dawn who did my fitting. I had a very general idea of what I wanted and she was bringing out great dresses - when I had one on that was very pretty, I said "it's just a little too poofy for me" and I could almost see the light bulb appear over her head. The next dress she brought out was THE ONE. It was so perfect for me and the location of the wedding. She was wonderful and sweet and bubbly and made the experience very fun. Stacy took over from there and helped us pick bridesmaids dresses and managed all my fittings. She is wonderful - so sweet and nice and helpful with any phone calls or questions I had. The dress came in on time and the alterations were done at an amazing speed despite all the complicated lace overlay and scalloped edges. It was perfect and fit like a glove the day of and I just felt amazing in it. I received so many compliments. They did a great job on it! One last thing I want to note - we had a bit of a snag when my sister's bridesmaid dress was left outside her door (at her request) by UPS and was then stolen. Given the rushed timeframe I was so stressed that it wouldn't come in time. Marie and the ladies at Global Bridal were so sympathetic that they were able to rush order a new one and didn't even charge her the rush fee. They were prepared to do over night alterations the week of the wedding if needed, as she is from out of town. Luckily it came in a little early and it all worked out, but the fact that they were so accommodating and willing to do whatever it took to make it work out was just above and beyond in my book. I will never forget how wonderful they all were. So, yes.. go here!!! :)

    I have recommended Global Bridal to many brides! I just loved everyone!! Everyone was so helpful and they made my experience wonderful. I had an appointment, but to be honest, I just wanted to look. My consultant (I wish I remembered her name) was so helpful, patient, and could read my personality well. She also listened to what I liked. Well, it turns out, my dress was the first dress she had picked out. I loved my experience so much that I just had to go back there to choose dresses for my bridesmaids. Two missions accomplished.

    I originally had another store in mind to purchase my dress and went in with one of my bridesmaids just to browse. I fell in love with every dress I tried on and it was hard to choose! They listened to me when I described my vision, never pressured me, and I didn't feel rushed. I still wanted to check out a few other stores before making my final decision and after horrible experiences at both places, I came running back to Global Bridal. I ended up paying less than I expected and was beyond impressed with the service I received.

    Serki is very friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed both of my wedding dresses- one was form fitting and the other princess style. With the additional building, they have room for groups.

    I cannot rave enough about Global Bridal! Serkhi and Marie are the sweetest! From the moment I walked in, they were so attentive and listened to what I wanted. They found me a dress that was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. Every time I went there for fittings, they were so sweet and would ask me about wedding details. They really took the time to get to know me and didn’t treat me just like a customer. I also ordered the bridesmaid dresses and mu mom’s dress through them, they were beautiful.

    Global Bridal Gallery is a gem of a boutique!! The ladies who work here are all fabulous and you can tell they love what they do and are good at it too! I came in on a Saturday with an appointment with Dawn. Dawn was super upbeat and as soon as I told her what I was looking for, she knew EXACTLY what dress she wanted me to try on. While she gathered some other dresses for me to try on she and another consultant were searching for this one dress she knew she wanted me to try on....and turns out, that was THE dress! I went to a few other bridal shops but none of them gave me the experience that Global Bridal did, so I went back and bought the dress. I couldn't be happier with my choice and I can't wait to pick my dress up!

    When I first started thinking about wedding dresses, I had no idea where to begin. I kicked off the search by reading review after review on Yelp, Wedding Wire, The Knot, etc... I was shocked to see how many places actually had pretty bad reviews (too pricey, snooty staff, etc...)! I knew I didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money, but didn't want something cheap either. I first visited a place near my home that I had heard about from friends. Honestly, nothing was wrong w/ the place at all. The people were friendly,the boutique was clean and spacious. I just didn't fall in love with any of the dresses right off the bat. So on with my search. The next place I found was Global Bridal in Alexandria. They had good reviews so figured it'd be worth checking out. From the moment you first walk in, they make you feel like they've known you for years. Everyone there was so welcoming, friendly, excited for you, etc... I dealt mostly with Marie who is very educated on wedding dresses and was so personable and genuine. After picking the dress (and Marie celebrated with me as if it was her own daughter finding her dress), then came ordering the bridesmaids dresses. Global Bridal didn't carry the designer I wanted so they ordered them and gave us a discount for ordering through them. Then came alterations. The seamstress was so sweet and careful in her work. Again, each member of the staff was just so warm and easy to work with every time we visited. They showed excitement each time we walked through the door. Once all was said and done, we came to pick up my dress after the final fitting and it was sad to say goodbye to all the ladies. They asked that we come back by with pictures b/c they couldn't wait to see how it all went. Needless to say, I'd recommend them to anyone looking to find a beautiful dress and meet some wonderful women along the way.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Global Bridal Gallery.
    Their team is so knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. From the moment that I walked in to try on dresses, I knew that is where I'd be buying my wedding dress.
    They did an amazing job with alterations; it fit me like a glove. I will be contacting them for dress preservation very soon!

    Tip: Try to make an appointment during the week to try on dresses. The place is PACKED on Saturday and Sunday. I went on a Saturday, and their staff was still super attentive amongst the crowd, but it was very crowded.

    Like any bride, I had many emotions going into the day I went dress shopping. Upon arriving at Global Bridal Gallery I was greeted by a energetic and bubbly Maria who was helpful, happy and ready to help make me feel like a bride. It was such a delight to experience this after just leaving a shop that was not as great in Alexandria. My entire experience from start to finish was excellent. Although upon my first visit I still was not sure as I had other shop appointments they did not pressure me or make me feel like I had to buy then. I loved this even more. It is probably why I came back later and bought my dress there. During alterations they were patient and helped me feel comfortable before making every adjustment and the work they did on my lace was beautiful! I highly recommend this for anyone! i am not a size 2 and didn't have a budget the size of a house, but I felt like I had the same experience as every other girl who stepped in there and could get a dress that I too would feel like a bride in !

    Marie and the Global Bridal team made my dress search not only enjoyable, but fun! Marie worked with me every step of the way to ensure I found a dress that fit my vision and personal style and I couldn't be happier with the outcome; they also did a great job with alterations. The staff are all very friendly and make you feel special throughout the entire process.

    Marie is a such a blessing. She truly is a special person and cares so much about her clients. I went in after buyers regret and she took my hand and walked me through that very stressful time. She made sure that the dress I loved was able to be in in such a quick time. She was at every dress fitting, all six of them, making sure that my dress fit me perfectly. Everyone at the store was such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend going to Global for your wedding dress!

    These women are amazing people! From the selection to the alterations, you will not find another shop with women this passionate about what they do. I went to several other boutiques and was actually feeling down about dress hunting after encountering cold sales personnel. Global bridal had so many dresses I liked, I easily could've chosen any of the 7 I tried on and been ecstatic. The alterations were perfect and all my guests commented on how beautiful the gown was. Working with GBG was probably the best vendor decision I made in the entire process. I recommend my friends go here immediately and no where else.

    I had the best experience possible at Global Bridal. From the first day with Serki - finding my dress on the very first try!!! To the fittings, and the jewelry picking out, everything was so enjoyable. The ladies make you feel so special and hold your hand the whole way. After visiting a few other places I would definitely tell anyone in the nearby area to definitely give Global Bridal a visit. Plus! They are expanding and it is looking so great! I love this place!!

    5 Stars for Marie and the team at Global Bridal gallery! The service here is top notch. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. The selection and prices are were lovely, the boutique was beautiful, and everyone is so warm and accommodating. They were always so organized and had everything ready for me at every visit. Alterations were a work of art. Cannot say enough good things!! Buy your dress here, you are one of the family, you will NOT be disappointed!

    I LOVED working with Global Bridal! They never pushed me into purchasing a dress, even after I had found the perfect one there. Coming in for fittings once my dress was made was so much fun for me. The seamstresses know what they're doing, and are very professional. Stacey, who oversaw my fittings, was also so much fun to talk to. The dress ended up being perfect for my wedding day, and I'm so glad I found Global Bridal! Thank you!
