Maryland Brides - Where did you say yes to your dress?

I live in Maryland. My original dress came from Bridals by Elena. They are in Gambrills, MD. I ended up having it shortened and wore a different dress that I got in Pennsylvania which is where I am from and where we got married.

I live in Maryland. My first wedding dress came from Amanda Ritchey Bridal in Falston, MD. They had great prices and did alterations in house that were not expensive. My second dress I bought in Falls Church, VA at Zoya's Atelier. They were a little pricier but Zoya the owner was amazing. She knew exactly what to put on me and it looked amazing! It was not something I never thought I'd buy.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely look them up

View Quoted Comment I think I came across Amanda Ritchey Bridals when I searched online. I keep hearing good reviews. Thanks

I went to many shops but found my dress at Betsy Robinson’s

I went to Cameo Bridal. It is a small business and the owner helped me pick out my dress. I went to Bridal by Elena and Thought it was very stuffy. The bridal boutique was nice and I found a few I liked there, but I loved the Cameo experience. Everyone is very nice.

Thanks ladies! I appreciate the suggestions

View Quoted Comment I went to bridals by elena also and thought the same thing. The owner or manager I guess, thought my budget was too low. Their dresses started at $1200

View Quoted Comment Good to know. I'm glad everyone is so open and truthful about their experience. Its given me alot of insight.

I visited Cameo Bridal in Glen Burnie and had a great experience. I ended up not buying my dress from them but they were super helpful as I had my mom on Facetime and one friend with me.

I bought my dress from Brides for Haiti in Frederick. It's a shop run by a church with all the dresses donated by boutiques and designers (brand new). All the funds go to their sister church in Haiti. https://brides4haiti.com/

View Quoted Comment Never heard of Brides for Hait. Thanks for suggesting it. I love that there is a good cause behind it. I'll check them out

I live in Maryland but I went to Davids Bridal in Delaware and said yes to the dress!

TLC Bridal in Frederick is fabulous!

View Quoted Comment I have heard a lot of great things about TLC Bridal. I'll have to add them to my list.

I brought my ceremony dress from Curvaceous Couture Bridal in Columbia and my reception dress from K&B Bridal in Bel Air. I loved both shops, all the ladies were very helpful, not pushy and actually felt like they cared. At Curvaceous, when my dress arrived they actually put it on me with white gloves on lol, the service was perfect. I worked with MyKell (unsure of the correct spelling of her name but she was PERFECT)


I literally went to about 13 bridal shops but those 2 were my fav and they carried exactly what I wanted! Elite Secrets Bridal in Downtown Baltimore was a fav too, the owner is amazing and fun. She made me feel like she was family lol. They have a lot of new, unique dresses and they also have an in house designer who is actually her daughter! Good luck and Congratulations!!!
