    Amazing experience!

    I had an amazing experience finding my wedding dress here! Peggie is very friendly and did a great job selecting dresses for me to try on. I was not expecting to buy a dress yet, but Peggie helped me find the perfect one and so I just had to go for it. The salon is beautiful too, and it is so nice that they only hold one appointment at a time. I would absolutely recommend wedding dress shopping here!

    Highly recommend!

    I can't say enough positive things about my experience at The One Bridal Salon. I booked a few appointments on the same day at other salons, and The One Bridal was the highlight, by far!

    Peggie was flexible when making my appointment and got me in first thing when the salon opened. She took the time to ask questions not just about my style preferences, but about our venue and engagement as well which made the experience feel more personal and supportive. Peggie pulled a number of dresses for me to try, she nailed my style right away. She gave practical advice and asked questions throughout the process.

    The salon itself is gorgeous and comfortable, and the customer service is excellent. I did not feel pressured at all to make a decision, and appreciated the follow up from Peggie afterward checking in on my search for the perfect dress. Despite trying on a number of dresses in the weeks following my appointment here, the very first dress that Peggie pulled for me is the one I kept coming back to and chose!

    Beyond expectation !

    My experience at the one bridal salon was incredible. I had two appointments after The One Bridal, in DC and Richmond. Peggie’s gowns were exceptionally clean and the personalized service was beyond any level. I loved two dresses at the shop, and one in Richmond which I had a difficult time deciding ( about a month). Peggie was very patient and I kept thinking about my experience at One Bridal and I knew it was the right place. Peggie and her team never made me feel rushed and provided white glove service throughout the entire process . Thank you!

    Thank you for writing such a wonderful review. It was a pleasure helping you select the perfect gown for your wedding.

    The perfect, efficient experience!

    Had an amazing experience with Kelsey as my consultant. After a sit-down conversation in which she really took the time to get to know me, Kelsey grabbed a few options she thought fit my vision/style and she nailed it! We did not expect the process to be so efficient--we had a great, stress-free day and left with the perfect dress. Thanks again, Kelsey!

    The One Bridal Salon's reply:

    Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your experience at our shop. Helping you with your dress selection/vision is what we love to do and Kelsey does an amazing job of it.

    I had a wonderful experience at the One!

    I loved my experience at The One Bridal Salon. Peggie understood my vision and pulled the most perfect dresses. It was such a joy to work with her; the whole time I felt like she was in my corner and that she was committed to helping me choose the right dress. I ended up going in twice and made my decision of finding “the one” the second time. Both times, I felt comfortable and heard. The One is a very special salon in that they only take one appointment at a time. I would recommend this personable experience to any friend getting married! Thank you Peggie for making this experience so memorable!

    The One Bridal Salon's reply:

    Savannah,
    Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. It is always rewarding when we are able to help a bride complete her vision for her gown and we are so happy we could be there for you. Can't wait to see you glow on your big day!

    Peggie is patient, attentive and thoughtful

    From the initial booking to the moment I said yes to the dress, Peggie delivered exceptional service every step of the way. Her prompt responsiveness via email and text during the booking process was invaluable, especially given my tight timeline as a bride. Peggie expertly navigated the timing for ordering my dream dress, alleviating a significant source of stress during the process.

    The experience at her beautiful boutique salon was nothing short of wonderful for my bridal party and me. Peggie has a knack for making each moment special. She attentively listened to my vision and utilized her expertise to select the perfect dresses for me to try on. Throughout the fittings, Peggie ensured I had a moment to gather my thoughts before stepping out to reveal each gown to my loved ones.

    Peggie's approach was balanced and thoughtful, knowing precisely when to offer input, ask insightful questions, and allow me the space to contemplate. Despite my indecision, Peggie remained flexible and patient across multiple appointments, making the entire journey seamless. While I explored several boutiques, Peggie's unparalleled service truly stood out.

    I am immensely grateful for her passion and dedication, which shone through and ultimately instilled confidence in my decision when I (finally) said yes to the dress. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend every bride to visit The One Bridal Salon. Thank you, Peggie! :)

    The One Bridal Salon's reply:

    Shauna,
    Wow, what a lovely review. It was my pleasure to be with you on every step of your dress shopping journey. I am just so happy that you did find "the one" that makes you feel beautiful, confident and like a bride.

    Beautiful dresses and kind people

    Peggie and her assistant Lily were very helpful and understanding during the process of choosing the perfect wedding dress. I didn’t know what I wanted in the beginning, but Peggie helped me narrow down my choices until I found my match! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an upscale and elegant bridal salon. Also— support small businesses!

    Ellie,
    It was such a pleasure having you and your family in the salon and we are so happy we were able to guide you to finding the one.
    We know you will glow on your big day.

    Amazing experience!


    I had an incredible experience at the one bridal salon! Peggie and Kelsey were very personable and made every effort to accommodate me during my appointments. During visits to various wedding dress shops, the one bridal salon truly stood out with their exceptional customer service and the remarkable blend of quality and affordability in their dresses. I found my dream dress priced at a very reasonable $1200. While other establishments left me disheartened with their flimsy and tacky designs, this salon's designer dresses exuded elegance, support, and superior craftsmanship. As a plus-sized woman (size 20/22), I was nervous about finding the perfect fit, but the very first dress I tried on captured my heart. The process of ordering my dress went seamlessly, and it will be delivered and ready for alterations in just 12 weeks. Their diverse range of styles ensured that I had ample choices, and I can't emphasize enough how these dresses far surpassed anything I encountered elsewhere. This salon not only delivered my ideal wedding dress but also an experience beyond compare! Thank you again, Peggie and Kelsey!

    The One Bridal Salon's reply:

    Alison,
    We are so excited that you found the perfect dress and were able to take advantage of the designer discount that was offered to make your dream dress even more affordable. We know you will look stunning on your big day.
    Thanks for writing such a wonderful review.

    Fantastic Experience!

    I visited The One salon earlier this month after two other bridal appointments and found my one! Peggie was fantastic and listened to all of my questions and critiques of each dress, picking up on things I didn't even realize I was looking for until we narrowed it down the the perfect choice. I am so happy to have used them and am so looking forward to continuing to work with this salon in the future!

    The best experience here!

    Such a wonderful experience here!! I actually came to them after I got a wedding dress from a different salon that I was really unhappy with and really upset about the experience. I wish I had been to The One Bridal first!! I was looking for clean, classic, simple dresses - which many salons don't carry a lot options in but The One Bridal does!! They were so helpful, very sweet, and I never felt pressured to buy (which is rare). Can't say enough about this place :)

    The One Bridal Salon's reply:

    The fact that you found a dress that you so clearly love is all the "thank you" that we need. That you took the time to write such a lovely review is more than we can ask! Thank you!

    Amazing experience! 5 stars

    I had many other prior appointments at different bridal salons that did not go well, so I was very nervous walking in…but Kelsey was amazing and made me feel very at home! She picked wonderful choices for me to try on and helped me narrow it down to 2 gowns. She also had great advice to help me choose which gown, and also had great ideas for alterations. The salon is clean, elegant, and I loved the selection. I have been recommending this place to every bride!

    Found my One at The One

    I had such a wonderful experience with Peggie and The One Bridal Salon and can happily say I found my one! Peggie asked lots of great questions about my personality, style, and vision for the wedding before showing me a selection of beautiful dresses. I loved the intimate feel of the salon and stellar personalized service. Peggie was also very accommodating and squeezed me in for two separate appointments as I had originally visited the salon with my mother in law and wanted my mom to be there when I officially chose my dress. Thank you Peggie!

    Classic and Stunnin' ;)

    Kelsey was so fantastic to work with! She asked for 2 words to describe the look and feel I was going for and I said Classic and Stunnin' and boy did she deliver! She was transparent, understood what I was looking for, and made me feel comfortable and excited to be buying my wedding dress! I specifically chose The One Bridal Salon because they have Jenny Yoo gowns as well as other designers who make simple and clean designs (which is surprisingly hard to find). Above all else, it was way under budget!

    Perfection!

    The best! Truly! The store was immaculately decorated, bright and clean. They do private appointments which was incredibly helpful as it can be a bit of an emotional experience. Peggy asked me a few questions about my vision for my wedding, my dress and myself and brought over the perfect dress. Literally the first one she showed me ended up being THE ONE! We tried on several different ones that were all absolutely gorgeous but I ended up going with the very first one I tried on. It was such a wonderful experience and one that I will treasure for the rest of my life! Thank you SO so so much! 🤍

    Exceptional service; Wonderful Staff

    The ladies at The One Bridal Salon are amazing. They helped my daughter find the absolutely perfect wedding dress and then helped me with my 30-year vow renewal dress. They made the whole day a beautiful mother-daughter experience. We loved supporting this women-owned small business that truly is making dreams come true for women of all ages!

    Stellar dress shopping experience!

    This salon is such a gem! I went for a solo appointment and Peggie and Kelsey were such great cheerleaders. Peggie really listened to my likes and dislikes and ended up pulling a dress I definitely don’t know if I’d picked myself, but it ended up being my dream dress!! They were very communicative, clear, and patient.

    I HIGHLY recommend The One for anyone looking for their dream dress! Their selection is amazing too!

    Exceptional serivce and attention to detail

    Definitely pay a visit to The One Bridal Salon; you won't be disappointed! Kelsey and Peggie at The One Bridal Salon made choosing a wedding dress fun and stress-free. Kelsey was so attentive and truly considered every single comment I made during my appointment. She was quick to adapt if she pulled a style I didn't like, and it only took a few tries to find the dress of my dreams! The One has also been extremely responsive and efficient in the dress ordering process. I am so pleased with my experience thus far and I anticipate the rest of my interactions with The One will be nothing but pleasant!

    Personal and Professional

    Peggie and Anna at The One Bridal Shop are amazing! Picking out a dress here is a very personal, and private experience. Peggie is knowledgeable and professional. She gives great advice about what might look best, but does not overstep in any way. She is lovely to work with! I also did my alterations here with Anna who was lovely and does great work! I can't recommend this studio enough!

    Great Experience at The One Bridal Salon

    I got my dress at The One Bridal Salon this weekend, and we had a great experience. I came with my Mom- and the salon is great because it's an intimate experience (they only do 1 bride at a time). They did a great job of making me comfortable throughout the process. Very excited for my dress to arrive!

    The One helped me find The One

    I was nervous to go wedding dress shopping because I am an outdoorsy girl and have a lot of trouble with fashion decisions. From the moment I stepped into The One Bridal Salon Peggie made me feel at ease. Her store is clean, bright, and elegant. She took the time to get to know me and figure out how I want to look on my wedding day. She has a lovely collection of gowns and helped me pick out a variety of styles to try on that aligned with my vision. I could not believe it when I tried on my third dress and it was everything I could have ever wanted in a wedding dress- simple, classic, sexy, and comfortable! I don't know how Peggie did it but she somehow found my perfect wedding dress. I thought dress shopping would be a long, arduous process, yet The One made it an enjoyable, simple, special event. Peggie even had the eye to encourage me to try a simple veil when I didn't think I wanted one and it made the whole look come together perfectly. She was kind enough to open the store for an appointment on Sunday, when they are normally closed. Could not recommend this place more!

    Brooke,
    Thank you for writing such a wonderful review. I so having you and your family in the shop and can't wait to see how stunning you will look on your special day.

    Peggie, the owner, was so patient and helpful! I did not know anything about wedding dress shopping so I was nervous at first. She sat down and asked about what I was looking for in a dress and what I wanted my wedding day to look like, making me feel very relaxed and welcomed. The shop was so clean, bright and elegant, I'd suggest it for any and everyone!
