Garnish Boutique

I highly recommend Garnish Boutique for bridesmaid dresses and bridal gowns. The owner, Mia, is very responsive and she has done a great job creating a comfortable, warm and happy environment for her clients. My mom and my sister joined me for my appointment and we had such a wonderful experience trying on several dresses. We never felt rushed and we genuinely enjoyed our time with Mia.

Absolutely amazing experience! I can not rave enough about how much I enjoyed my visit to Garnish Boutique. Mia's professionalism and dedicated customer service provided such a refreshing change from the hurried pace of so many other boutiques that I've visited. Mia made me feel relaxed and comfortable, and I felt that she genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect dress within my budget. I will definitely be referring friends to visit Mia at Garnish. This was, by far, the best shopping experience that I've had. Thank you, Mia!

Thanks to Mia's patience, professionalism and thoughtful advice, I was able to purchase a beautiful combination of Amsale dresses for my overseas bridesmaids in a stress-free and timely manner. I made my appointment on a peaceful Friday morning during the Trunk Show (10% discount) which was also a huge plus. It was definitely worth the 1-hr drive from DC. My bridesmaids received their dresses and they LOVE them!

I had the most wonderful experience with Mia at Garnish Boutique. The service is unlike any I've ever had. Appointments are personal, where brides are given one-on-one attention. Mia has exquisite taste and it shows in the gowns she offers, they are gorgeous and she has a variety of styles at beyond affordable prices! I cannot say enough positive words about Garnish and would recommend it to anyone looking for wedding/bridesmaid dresses!

Choosing to purchase my bridesmaids gowns from Garnish Boutique was one of the best decisions I made during the planning process. Mia was such a pleasure to work with and I can honestly say that I can come to her for anything! She is just one of those people that brightens your day, and truly wants the best for her clients. Her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious and on the day the gowns arrive, it feels like Christmas morning! If you are looking for special wedding gowns & bridesmaids dresses, Mia from Garnish is your gal!

Mia was amazing! She helped me with every single part of my wedding - bridesmaids dresses, my gown, and a veil. She truly takes customer service to another level. I was out of my comfort zone with this whole wedding process and she couldn't have made it easier for me.

My first interaction with Mia was for my friend's wedding--I went there to try on bridesmaid dresses. We had such a great time together that when it came time to select my own wedding gown, I went back to Mia. And, again--it was such a wonderful and relaxed experience! I was not one of those brides that had the instantaneous "that's the one!" bridal gown experiences. By the time I tried on almost all of the wedding gowns in the store, I had several gowns in the running. Mia provided great guidance on the pros and cons of each style and really helped me narrow down to the PERFECT dress. Ordering and picking up the dress was super easy. I would never hesitate to send anyone to Mia--they would be in great hands!

If you want a wedding dress that doesn't scream white cupcake, Mia is the woman to visit. My dress was unique, spectacular and very reasonably priced. It's a Jenny Yoo, and Mia carries her line as well as a number of others. I visited her 4 times and she was patient and full of great ideas and suggestions each time. It's a small, intimate shop and you need to make an appointment - she only sees 1 client at a time. She doesn't have an alterations person but it wasn't an issue - i have my own - she has several people she recommends highly. She also has a ton of bridesmaid dresses, as well as MOB and flower girl dresses. I love Mia!!!

Garnish Boutique is a true gem. Having had one slightly overwhelming dress shopping experience in DC, I did not fully know what to expect on the day of my appointment with Mia (the owner). I was in for a treat.

The space itself is beautiful - open, sunny, warm, and all around welcoming. When we arrived, Mia ushered us in, took some time to get to know us, and made us feel right at home. As the only appointment, I truly felt like I was a top priority, a feeling which persisted throughout the entire relationship. Mia has lovely taste, which is reflected in the fabulous array of chic, elegant, classic dresses. I wanted to try everything on, but was very lucky and fell in love with the first dress. With the dress decided upon, Mia helped me style it a bit, showing me different belts and embellishments, and was happy to wait for my mom to sign off on the dress over pictures, emails, and phone calls while we were in the store. Garnish also has an incredible selection of dresses for bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls. One of my bridesmaids was with me for my first appointment, so we found the perfect dress for all the girls.

Three months later, my mother and I returned together to see MY dress. Mia was so sweet and made the experience extra special for my mom, who had missed the first visit. Once again, we had her full attention and she was so helpful, warm, and fun to work with.

Mia gave us a wonderfully personal experience from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Garnish Boutique to any bride, both for wedding dresses and bridal party attire!

Mia and her staff are top notch! I had been to all the large commercial type bridal stores and really felt pressured by the staff to find something and buy--not at Garnish. They are professional, fun and understanding and truly made my experience wonderful! I am so happy I found the perfect wedding dress there. Everything came in exactly when she said it would and I was beyond pleased with my dress. It was absolutely stunning! Thank you to Mia for everything! I would definitely go there if you're looking for a personalized experience--and their style of dresses are beautiful!!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Garnish boutique! Mia, the owner, is super wonderful to work with and very attentive! I loved the selection of simple, elegant bridal gowns, from which I found the perfect dress!

I cannot say enough about Garnish Boutique!! I was looking for a very specific type of designer; one who allowed for options. It was not my preference to select one dress for the entire party. I wanted to make sure each girl (4 of them; all with different body types) were able to find a dress they felt MOST beautiful in.

Garnish offered all the designers I was interested in seeing - Jenny Yoo and MORE.

When we arrived, the boutique suggested another designer which offered 6 different tops, 3 waist lines and 6 skirts. All I had to do was choose a color and fabric - PERFECT. Oddly enough, each girl choose the same dresses (the one I secretly LOVED) with a small variation for my Maid of Honor!

We made several trips which were ALL successful. Not only did my party find AMAZING dresses, but Garnish also dressed my mother, in a STUNNING, silver sexy one shoulder mermaid dress; my cousin in an adorable Pink Jenny Yoo - my favorite designer and her favorite color; and my FAVORITE Aunt in a sexy fitted sleeveless blue mermaid dress. She said she felt like a Queen - and she looked regal!

I have and will continue to give Garnish praise! I even sent another cousin there, who traveled from Delaware to select her bridal party dress for her destination wedding in 2012. YAY Garnish!

Mia is AMAZING. Such a kind, honest person and a joy to be around! We ordered 6 Jenny Yoo dresses from her, and I loved that her boutique does not do alterations on site- right away I could tell Mia would be honest about ordering sizes. I am often so skeptical of other bridal shops that encourage you to order larger sizes so they can make money off alterations. Mia was so knowledgable and accommodating with appointments, and responded right away to my emails. Mia really does make the whole proccess so much fun! I will miss visiting her. Highly reccommended boutique!

Mia is so easy to work with and incredibly flexible, especially when I couldn't decide on a dress. She had such great suggestions for my bridesmaids and an incredible selection. She went above and beyond for me and my bridal party. I would definitely recommend Garnish to any bride wanting an absolutely picture perfect wedding day!

Everything about my experience at Garnish was wonderful! Mia was such a doll to work with! All of the dresses are cute and stylish and can fit many different body types and styles. They also come in so many great colors to compliment any wedding style! My favorite part of my experience was having a bridesmaids dress fitting at the shop on a Saturday afternoon with all of my bridesmaids. It was so much fun to try on the dresses as a group. I hear that the shop has recently started carrying chic bridal gowns! I only wish they had been around when I was choosing my dress!

Mia is amazing and has the cutest bridesmaid dresses! She takes care of everything and does a great job. My girls looked fantastic.

Getting my bridesmaids dresses was one of the most fun parts of the planning process and Mia at Garnish made it so easy! I really wanted seersucker dresses for my back yard wedding. I did not know where to find them and a friend had told me about Garnish. Not only did they have a great dress selection, but they also had a variety of seersucker colors to choose from. I decided to let my 6 bridesmaids pick their own style dresses, they were also very happy with their dresses and the service they received.

I had a wonderful experience with Garnish Boutique. I ended up purchasing my bridesmaids and flowergirl dresses in addition to my wedding gown here. All of the dresses were made by Jenny Yoo. Mia was friendly, helpful, and honest from the beginning. Her boutique is lovely, and she schedules appointments so you are the only party there at one time. Although the prices are higher end for bridesmaids dresses, they are beautiful in quality. I can't think of a better place for modern, flattering dresses. I absolutely loved my wedding gown, which needed no alterations (I think that was pure luck). When I picked it up from Mia, I was a little sad that my "dress journey" was coming to an end. She made it a real pleasure!

Mia was awesome to work with. I went an untraditional route with my wedding dress, (I wore a long slightly silver dress) and she was great at helping me choose a dress that best flattered my figure and made a statement about who I am. Mia is upfront, awesome and has fantastic taste.
Can't reccomend Garnish highly enough, and her new space is amazing!

I had the pleasure of working with Mia for several months leading up to my wedding. One by one, I brought each of my five bridesmaids into meet with her, and each of them fell for her lovely customer service as much as I did.

Garnish Boutique is charming - the minute I stepped foot inside, I wanted to work there for Mia! What drew me there were the chic labels she carries - lines with clean, unfussy silhouettes. This is a boutique for modern brides and bridesmaids. Yet it's all reasonably priced.

But the heart of the shop is Mia. She is more than just a knowledgeable owner, she is a girls' girl with a passion for what she does. That shines through in her personal attention. My sister was very pregnant for fittings, yet needed her dress to fit POST pregnancy for my actual wedding day. Mia handled all of that effortlessly. She engages and advises you and your bridal party as if you've been friends for ages. We are friends to this day, in fact. I cannot recommend Mia and Garnish Boutique enough.

Sincerely,
Nicole Strong

This was the first shop that I visited to try on bridal gowns and it was wonderful. The rest of the shops I went to could not even compare. The shop is lovely, modern, bright and beautiful. The owner is very sweet and helpful. She made me feel very comfortable trying on dresses. The bridal gowns are all on display, so you can choose which ones you want to try on. I would highly recommend this boutique bridal shop.

Mia at Garnish Boutique did an extremely professional and honest job of my bridal attendants' attire. I knew I wanted Jenny Yoo dresses and there are only a handful of stores that carry Jenny Yoo. Garnish Boutique is one of them.

I went to the website and chose 3 styles of dresses that I liked. Mia had all 3 in stock to view along with the large fabric swatches in the colors I chose. I visited another store prior to Garnish Boutique, but I didn't get the sense that they wanted my business. Mia made me feel like she wanted and appreciated my business.

Due to her extreme professionalism, honesty about the dress styles, etc., I chose to work with her for ordering the dresses. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. ALL of the persons received their dresses by the date she quoted us.

I highly recommend Mia's services for your bridal party's attire. She has many designers to choose from at her store. Her experience and professionalism just make the purchase less stressful and give you a sense of "everything will be fine".

I was on the hunt for a short wedding dress and was told I should check out bridesmaids dresses. My mom came across Garnish, and insisted I go by. I'm so glad she did! I loved working with Mia, and with her help, we came up with the perfect wedding dress for me- a short dress in red! My mom also found her MOB dress there, and we stylized it with different colors- it turned out beautifully! My only problem with the experience was that my dress didn't come in on time (which was ok, since I had ordered it with plenty of time to spare). I called Mia to find out if it had been delivered yet (a few days after it should've been there) and she called the dress company. Not sure if there was a problem in the ordering process or what, but my dress arrived about a week later. I definitely had to have it tailored- which ended up costing more than the dress itself! My mom's dress only needed one alteration- so I'm not sure how the sizing works out.

Mia at Garnish was fabulous to work with! Her and her staff are very professional and were willing to work with us to meet our needs. My bridesmaids loved them and even though their dresses were a lot more expensive then the other places we visited, the style and quality made the dresses worth the higher cost. It is appointment only so make sure you call ahead - however its awesome having the one-on-one time with them.
One of my bridesmaids did have an issue with her dress which was the designers fault, however Mia is very supportive in helping get a refund..

Mia, the owner is exceptional! She has created an amazing little boutique with hundreds of beautiful dresses in amazing colors and fabrics! The quality is amazing but you do pay for what you get! If you are looking for a dress that is simple, beautiful and not typically found in david's bridal this is where you should shop! Mia is an expert at what she does, always thorough and friendly. We had the bridesmaid's dresses in plenty of time. However, call before showing up, Mia is not always there so the shop is not always open. Schedule an appointment with all of your girls!

Mia at Garnish was delightful to work with. She helped my mother and I look at dresses for me as well as dresses for my bridesmaids and was exceedingly patient and accommodating. We ran into a few difficulties with differences between the original price quote and the final cost of the girls' dresses, but Mia corrected the disparity quickly and professionally. The girls' did find that the sizing of their dresses was off compared to the size charts provided by the designer, but based on other reviews below, I think the problem lies with the designer, not Mia. Be mindful of sizing when ordering Anna Elyse dresses, though.

I used Garnish for my 5 bridesmaids dresses. We purchased from the Anne Elise line and the dresses were very nice. I was not pleased with the service I received from Garnish though. At first Mia the owner was very nice but when we went for our fitting ( which we did make an appointment for ) she was rude to my bridesmaid and rushed them through picking their dresses ( I let each pick their own style). At over 300$ per dress we spent over 1500$ there in one day so I expected her to be patient and polite. Then she quoted me the wrong price for the dresses so it was a lot more then I had anticipated. She did not tell us each style strapless, straps, v-neck, costs different prices. Also we were not informed that we had to pay in full when ordering the dresses. Finally she insisted my bridesmaids get dresses in sizes way too large for them which lead to costly tailor fees. The place is not cheap and the dresses are nice but you can likely find the same designers somewhere else with better serviw.

Beautiful! Mia is wonderful to work with, and has such great lines of gowns and dresses! You must check it out.

When you walk into Garnish, phrases like "Classiest bridal salon ever" and "Oooh my goodness!" and "Now THIS is a bridal boutique" start pouring out of your lips! It is beautifully feminine and in my opinion, exactly what a bridal boutique should look and feel like. Mia, the owner, is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and she makes sure each bride has a true, feel-like-a-princess, bridal experience. Garnish's delicious selection of wedding dresses will easily make you weak at the knees. I tell my brides that they won't need to go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommended!
