    Absolutely the best salon in Fairfax area!

    I absolutely loved my experience with Christen and Sage Bridal! All of my bridesmaids are out of town so I only had Christen there for me from the beginning to end. She was so supportive, energetic, and wonderful at every step of the way. She gave honest advice and feedback and gave me tips on everything. Scheduling was so easy and the fittings went so smoothly. The dress fits me like a freaking GLOVE! Prices are super reasonable, too. At the final fitting, I had some friends come with me and now they all want to get their dresses at Sage too! Every addition/change/alteration I wanted was accommodated. I love how you get the whole boutique whether it’s for trying on dresses or for any of your fittings. I can’t wait to wear my dress soon and I’m sad I won’t be making anymore visits to Sage!

    Christen and her team are awesome!

    My husband and I got married in May 2023, but I went shopping for my dress in April 2022 to give myself plenty of time. Sage Bridal was the 2nd bridal shop I went to, and I had a great feeling about it as soon as I stepped into the shop! There was one specific dress I came to try on, and Christen had it ready for me when I got there (she also set aside some other dresses that were a similar style). Lo and behold, my "yes" dress was one that she had picked! She knew exactly what I was looking for and helped to find dresses in my preferred style. Christen and her team were a pleasure to work with. They were super nice and helped me to feel comfortable when trying on the dresses. I would absolutely recommend Sage Bridal to any bride in the DC/NoVA area!

    Sage Bridal's reply:

    Thank you SO much for remembering us and sharing your experience! We need to see photos! We truly strive to make it as special as possible so your kind words mean everything and I am so grateful.

    Amazing stylists!

    Sage Bridal has an incredible team of stylists who are friendly, helpful, and extremely understanding. I didn’t end up getting my dress from them but the customer care they provide is above and beyond. If you’re in the NoVa area, I definitely recommend!

    This is what made me feel like a bride!

    I loved visiting Sage Bridal and choosing my dress from there. I felt overwhelmed at the other stores I had been to and honestly felt like I may have to settle. Luckily I didn’t have to, because we found Sage. We were able to have a dedicated session, where Christen was able to narrow down gorgeous gowns to what truly made me feel like a bride. She was super flexible with scheduling as well, which made the process a lot easier (especially when I wanted to get input from family and friends that lived all over the place). 10/10 recommend to any bride in the DMV!

    Gorgeous Wedding Dress!

    I highly recommend Sage Bridal! They have the most gorgeous selection of wedding dresses. They made my Bridesmaids and I feel very special and even had Champaign when I made my final decision. They perfectly hemmed and altered my dress as well. Couldn’t be more in love with my dress and veil more! And I got SO MANY compliments!!

    Best bridal shop in dmv

    Don't waste your time and go to Sage Bridal. I had the best experience there after getting frustrated with some bridal shops either charging too much service fee or not being prepared for the appointment at all. When I arrived, all dresses in my style were ready for me and the staffs never forced me to make a decision right away. Sometimes, some sales representatives encourage too much that you get confused after coming back home. But this bridal shop helped me clear my mind about what dresses I really want. I have been visiting at least 10 bridal shops in dmv area, and this bridal shop is by far the best shop to visit and will be visiting there for the second appointment. Hope all the brides looking for a wedding dress in the area don't experience the same frustration I had but save time by going to this shop!!

    Dream Dress Experience

    I'm so grateful I found Christen. She was happy to work with me in finding my dress just 4 months before our wedding. She immediately got my style and made me feel so comfortable as I was shopping on my own. Wish I needed another dress so I could visit Christen again! You won't regret making an appointment with Sage Bridal. Christen thrives on making sure every bride looks just as she desires on her wedding day.

    I didn’t think I’d find MY dress!

    I stumbled across Sage from a wedding wire search and had never heard of it even though I live in Fairfax. It was my first dress appt and I expected to go to several places before finding the one. I went to my appt alone and Christen made me feel so comfortable and she had already picked out a bunch of dressed based on what I had told her I like. I loved the first one I put on. Then I loved the 2nd one. Then came the 3rd one and I couldn’t even remember what the first 2 looked like. I had found THE dress and I knew it. I cried. I danced. And then I said “can I try a veil?”. The first veil she pulled seemed like it was made for this dress. It added just the right bit of fabulous and I teared up more. I had wanted my mom and sisters to be there as well, so I gave them a call and we waited the 20 minutes for them to arrive. They loved it and agreed and my mom cried too. It was just such a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to get married in it! Thank you Christen for helping me find my dream dress to marry my Kristin 😂😊 You’re the best!

    Don't Walk, RUN To Sage Bridal

    There are about a million reasons why I gush over Christen’s bridal store, Sage. However, I’ll make this brief so you can get on your way to making an appointment with her after this pandemic is over! 1. Her experience, there isn’t a single bridal salon that I walked into that had the experience that Christen has created. She spends time on making each appointment have a special touch for the bride and her guests (I won’t spoil it here!) 2. Her atmosphere, her dresses, are organized and not overwhelming, her shop is beautifully decorated, and the music she has playing lightly in the background just makes the moments in her shop fun. 3. Christen herself, she has just the right amount of presence in the room. She helps each bride get into their dress, takes the time to adjust the dress to make it look right, and then she steps back and lets you discuss each dress with whoever your audience may be. Now, if you’re like me, and straight up ask her for her opinion she will swoop in with advice, however she lets you process and think through the dresses without being overbearing. I would highly recommend Sage Bridal if you are truly looking for special moments when you find your wedding dress.

    I love Sage Bridal!

    Christen helped me find THE perfect dress! It took one appointment and maybe 12 dresses. Christen helped manage the opinions of my "entourage" and I was able to find a dress I new my future husband would love. The dress was a reasonable price and alterations were minimal! If I could wear the dress every day, I would. Christen, THANK YOU so much!!

    If you're getting married, go see Christen at Sage Bridal!

    A Wonderful Experience

    My experience at Sage was my favorite by far. From the personal touches as soon as we walked in to the wonderful decor and amazing dresses, this place was wonderful! We felt welcomed and comfortable. She knew her dresses well and even sat down with us to look at other options that weren't in store. Ultimately, when I found a dress I loved at a different store, I reached back out and although she didn't carry my dress, she emailed me different suggestions of different styles similar to a dress I had tried on. She is so willing to work with her customers and is always available to help! Thank you so much!

    YES to my dress!

    Christen is amazing! I've been to four other bridal stores before coming to Sage Bridal and I'm so happy I found them. Most bridal store had the dresses and designers and thank god for Sage Bridal, otherwise I wouldn't have found my dress!! I had some issues with my dress after it was altered the first time, which was NOT Christens fault, but luckily she helped me through that process and everything turned out great! I'm absolutely in love with the dress and I would recommend everyone to go to Sage Bridal!

    Say yes to the dress at sage bridal!

    Sage Bridal was the fourth bridal shop I walked into. Feeling defeated after trying on so many dresses at other bridal stores, I felt like I would never find the perfect dress. I AM SO GLAD I WALKED INTO SAGE BRIDAL BECAUSE I PUT ON A DRESS AND JUST KNEW IT WAS THE ONE.

    Sage Bridal has so many beautiful dresses of all budgets and styles. Christen, the shop owner is the BEST!!! Instantly I felt like we were besties and she was having me try on dresses I would never have considered. To my surprise, she put me in a dress and when I looked in the mirror I felt so beautiful and knew I found my dress!! I believe it is very important to have a great connection with your bridal consultant because they help you choose what you will be wearing for your big day, work with your budget and also help with alterations. Christen is hands down the best bridal consultant I worked with. She is so awesome that I am also going to get my flowers through her (which she also does). I HIGHLY recommend Sage Bridal and working with Christen!

    Wish I'd Found Her Sooner!

    I cannot even begin to share the amount of appreciation I have for Sage Bridal Owner, Kristen. She saved my wedding day! I ended up not loving my dress from another salon, after alterations. Time was short but she did everything she could to help me find a gown I loved. It ended up being perfect, Her honest feedback, attention to detail and sincere desire to make people happy is the perfect mix. I highly recommend a visit to her charming boutique.

    Christen gave my bridal party and I the most personal experience! She was incredibly caring and kind as she helped me select dresses and made recommendations. She was very respectful and not pushy in any way. Her collection of dresses was by far the most beautiful I've seen! It was a quality visit and well worth the time. I highly recommend Sage Bridal to anyone looking for the perfect dress for their wedding day! Plus, her jewelry selection is gorgeous.

    Christen is amazing! I originally went to her to look for a gown and even though I didn’t end up buying my gown from her (which I wish I had), she ended up doing all my floral arrangements. Throughout the process, she constantly checked in with me, answered all my questions, and listened to everything I had to say. Christen did my bouquet, the bridal party bouquets & boutonnieres, corsages for the mothers, and the flower arrangement for the arch. She did an amazing job and we got so many compliments. Christen’s shop is definitely a one stop shop (she also does hair & makeup as well!). She takes the time to help you choose an amazing gown and listens to what you have to say. I highly recommend Christen for all the services she provides!

    Christen is the BEST! I found her store online while looking for a specific designer and dress. Even though she did not have the dress I was looking for, she told me she was getting one in that she thought I would love. When I went in for my appointment, I tried on 2 dresses before trying on the one she had selected. Christen was 100% right - I loved that dress and it was THE one. She and her team made the entire process of finding my dress, finding my flower girl’s dress, and altering my dress so easy. Every time I went to the store or spoke to her, she made me feel like I was the only bride she was working with. The personalized touches around the shop during visits definitely make you feel special. Thank you so, so much for helping make my special day absolutely amazing!

    Christen Lee with Sage Bridal is amazing! She did all my decorations and flowers for my wedding and went above and beyond. Every little detail she thought of. I gave her my vision, including color scheme and favorite items I liked and she far exceeded my expectations. Christen is your girl if you want your wedding to be perfect and you know you won't worry about the little details. You won't find a better person in this area! **I will update my post with more pictures when i get them.**

    Great service to find the perfect dress!

    Great service! I found Sage Bridal in Apr 2021 and got married January 2022. Unlike most bridal shops, I was able to try on more then 5 dresses and I was able to have time to think and talk with my sister without interruption of upselling. Christen and her niece were great to work with. They're super chill and not all up in your face like other retailers. They also do alterations which was great so I didn't need to go find another place. The dress turned out perfect-- see for yourself in the photos :) Thanks so much Sage Bridal for giving me the perfect dress and making me feel beautiful in it

    Best experience!

    I absolutely adore this place and the owner. Before my appointment she pulled several dresses she thought I would like based off my appointment form. The dresses and the shop are absolutely gorgeous. The dresses are a bit more flashy and over the top than I wanted for my wedding, as we’re doing a very small wedding, but the dresses truly are gorgeous. The owner is also fabulous. She responds to your emails quickly and is very flexible. She even took the time to look up some other dresses she thought I would like and sent me the pictures. Highly recommend Sage Bridal!

    Loved my dress

    I loved my dress I got at Sage Bridal. Christen was great at working with me to pick out a veil. She suggested I order my dress 6 inches shorter since I was wearing short heels, and that decision avoided the cost of hemming the dress.
    The bustle came off at the reception unfortunately. I had wanted the bustle to be attached at 3 places, but she thought it wouldn't look right. I'm not sure whether I should have done 3 attachments or not. Someone stepped on the dress which tore the attachment button clean off, so I don't know that more fastenings would have helped but it may have kept more of the dress off the ground.
    I had a few dress fittings, and came in for the last one the week of my wedding since I live out of town. The dress fit beautifully, and she suggested I add a simple ivory belt. She was able to add it in 2 days, and I loved it.
