Icon Bridal Formal

Connie is a wonderful lady and is very helpful. Whether you are looking for a dress or just need to purchase/​alter a dress, this is the place to come to. Connie makes you feel right at home and is extremely knowledgeable. My dress was altered perfectly and it fit just right.

Went there this past Saturday, i am the MOH and it went well. Connie assisted us and she answered all of our questions and was very nice (she let us pop some bubbly).

My review is based off of the fantastic service and selection (an Allure trunk show) when I purchased my wedding dress here on Black Friday 2013.
They welcomed me (and my mom, MOH, friend, and a bridesmaid) even though they were a little busy. I had just come from a terrible appointment in Annapolis and my friend found this place through the listing of trunk shows on Allure’s website. I’m SO GLAD she did! I went in with the attitude of «I don’t want to buy a dress today» and «maybe I don’t want a wedding dress after all» because of the way we had been treated at the previous shop. They turned that right around for me and immediately put me into 5 or so beautiful dresses. The first one I put on was the one, but they were happy to let me continue!
I can’t express how grateful I am to Icon for the way they turned my day around and turned what could have been an awful trip for all of us into a fantastic day. I can’t wait for my dress to come in this spring!

This place is hard to rate. I give ‘em 3 stars for selection and 5 for flexibility = 4 stars.
The shop is small, and like most bridal shops, you should schedule an appointment in advance. I think there were only maybe 2 dozen or so gowns to try on, but here’s the beauty of the place: you can order a dress from any of the designers they sell, but you don’t have to buy it! You just leave a $ 50 – 100 deposit, and if you don’t like the dress, you can use the money towards any other gown they carry. Any other shop makes you leave half of the purchase price (I think) and you are committed to either buying that gown, or losing your deposit. So my advice is to check the websites of the designers they carry (listed on Icon’s website); any current style should be available for them to order for you. This is a great option for a bride who can’t find what she wants in stores, but can’t get that dress she saw online out of her head.
They also carry bridesmaid dresses. Tuxes too though I didn’t see any.
