What to expect when you become a

COVID-19 Update: We all know a certain p-word has changed how shops and stores are operating, and we’re no different. We’ve updated the info below to reflect our new policies with everyone’s safety (and excitement for this special moment in your wedding planning process!) in mind.

In keeping with local rules, we’ll be limiting all appointments to four (4) people - you plus three loved ones. When you arrive for your consult, we’ll kindly ask that you and your loved ones wash your hands before we show you to your own fitting area — we’re hoping all that extra washing is keeping your engagement ring extra sparkly!

Next you’ll be toured through our carefully curated gown selection, and given some time to shop and select the gowns that you love best for try on. Whether you already know your style or have no idea where to begin, we’re here to guide you in finding styles that make you feel your best. One quick note: right now we’re only allowing you (the bride) and your consultant to physically pull your gowns, but don’t fret — someone in your party will still convince you to try on that big ballgown you’re a little unsure about.

Once you’re ready, your consultant will let you step into each gown on your own (to keep some social distancing in play) before helping you clip and adjust the gown when you step out of the room. As you try on your selections, your consultant will also recommend other styles within our collections that you may have missed based on what you’re loving or not loving.

When you find the one, we’ll handle the fine details and send you and your loved ones off to celebrate in style. A few months later when your gown arrives, you don’t have to worry about a thing. We’ll prep your gown for a mini try on with accessories before hand delivering your gown to our local recommended seamstress. Out of town brides, have no fear — we’ll make sure your gown is perfect before lovingly packing it up for shipment to you. 

What Garnish brides have said about their experience

I was really struggling to find a dress. I looked everywhere from New York City to DC and beyond - the search felt endless. On a whim, I went to visit Garnish during a lunch break. I saw that she carried Hayley Paige and thought I would give it a try. I was instantly comforted meeting Mia and her associate Jessica. They were welcoming, sweet and incredibly encouraging. They listened to my struggles, helped me comb through styles and fall back in love with dress shopping. After a few visits, I decided on a beautiful Hayley Paige gown and it was such an exciting moment! From the moment you step into Garnish you feel like a bride. The decor and selection is enough to make you never want to leave!

praise from clients:

Garnish Boutique is heaven on earth. I love that Mia is so involved with every single bride that walks in her door. From booking appointments for brides, to popping in while you try on gowns, to taking your measurements when you’ve found the one - she is truly with you every step of the way. Each consultant that works at Garnish is amazing and so helpful. I had several very different styles in mind when I walked in, and they worked with me so patiently to narrow it down and try many options. I got my hairpiece and earrings from Garnish as well, all perfect. I am so so happy with my experience at Garnish, and urge any new bride-to-be to go there for your gown!

“As soon as I walked in, I didn’t ever want to leave.”

praise from clients:

Considering I work in fashion, I've always dreamed of shopping for my bridal gown. [Mia] made me feel immediately comfortable and I knew at that moment this was the place. The second dress I tried was perfect . . . and Mia worked with me to order additional fabric to create the gown I've always dreamed of.

praise from clients:

Garnish is an absolutely gorgeous boutique - it looks like it is straight from a movie scene. I came in knowing I wanted to find my dress that day (I hate trying on clothes, so I was not trying to go to multiple places!) and 6-8 dresses later, I found the one. Mia, the owner, is fabulous. She even helped me get some specific Amsale samples in that I wanted to try out. She makes every bride feel special! I am proud to be a Garnish bride!

“From the second we walked in, I knew that they were committed to helping me find what was best for me.”

praise from clients:

Mia was such a delight to work with. Garnish is a pristine shop and there was such an amazing selection of gowns to choose from. She provided the perfect level of feedback as I was making my decision, helping me pick the perfect dress without over-selling or over-guiding — SO appreciated. Once I had selected my gown, she continued to be a delight to work with, even delivering my dress to the tailor and checking in to make sure everything went smoothly.
