Hitched

I'm sure all DC brides are aware of this, but there are only a handful of bridal salons in the District and there are limited selections of dresses in these stores. I got married in DC so I really wanted to find something within DC so that I won't have to drive hours to do my fitting etc. Luckily, after a few trials and errors, I was able to find a gorgeous Amsale dress at Hitched, and it has been a breeze after that. Katie was amazing; she is very down-to-earth, tells you things as is, and has that cool vibe about her that sort of puts you in ease. :) Had three fittings and picked up the dress two days before the wedding, and they did a wonderful job with it. I got a lot of compliments on my dress (too bad I can't wear it again!) and I am really grateful that Katie and the seamstress made the journey a pleasant one.

I went to three bridal salons in DC and ultimately got my gown from Hitched; they carried a variety of beautiful, classic gowns, but I was ultimately drawn to their selection of elegant yet fashion-forward stuff - Lela Rose, among others. I was also drawn to the fun and relaxed atmosphere, which had none of the pushiness or, alternately, standoffishness I experienced elsewhere. I worked with 4-5 ladies at Hitched and Hitched Maids over a period of several months, and to the person they were warm, un-pretentious, helpful, responsive, and wonderful to deal with. Lynette and Jas, who team up to do fittings, were particularly great. I'd recommend Hitched to anyone!

I recently bought my dress at Hitched, what a great boutique!! They have a huge selection of the better dresses and the staff is super friendly and helpful! They also have an onsite tailor which makes the fittings so much easier! I love, love, love my dress and can thank them for helping me find the perfect one!! :)

I bought my Judd Waddell wedding dress at Hitched with fewer than three months to go before my wedding. Hitched is a small shop but has a well-edited selection of gowns, generally at a higher price point (mine cost $5,000, including unlimited alterations and a rush fee, given my timeline). In my experience, the staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful. They were great about appointment reminders and encouraging yet discerning when it came to fittings. Jasmine, their in-house seamstress, was a pro and made me feel very comfortable. My only complaint was that there was some puckering at the waistline of my dress, which had a band of beading. I think this was more of an inherent issue with the dress than the steaming and pressing done by Hitched, because the beading was sewn onto an organza overlay, which is a pretty delicate fabric. The organza overlay was also prone to wrinkling. I have no complaints about the service at Hitched; just know that it is a small-ish selection.

I loved my wedding dress and loved working with Hitched! They were consistently helpful and made my dress buying experience great. All of the girls that work there are fun to work with. I like that when you go there you have an individual appointment and someone's undivided attention. It is in Georgetown, which was convenient for me and that helped a lot when doing fittings leading up to my wedding. I was getting married across the country and Hitched pressed and packed my dress in a travel cover. I rated it a bit lower on value, because there are definitely some "bargain" shops that you could get A dress cheaper, but for me the dress I bought (Modern Trousseau Mimi) was worth paying a bit more and the service was fantastic. Some of the "cheaper" shops did not provide individual attention or dressing rooms and I think would have seemed like a big difference in service. That said, I went to several salons that were MUCH more expensive, so I wouldn't call Hitched anything crazy, just not the cheapest out there. In my opinion, you get what you pay for and I had a great experience with them. Also, I got my dress at a trunk show so got to meet the designer and talk to her while I was trying on my dress, which is pretty cool! :)

The services and dresses at Hitched are wonderful. I worked with Ileana, who was charming and not at all pushy -- she let me take my time in making a decision and didn't let her own opinions affect her work. She even charmed my crazy mother! The owners were a little more pushing trying to sell me on accessories when it came to paying, and it's clear they want to steer you toward a particular set of partners. All that said, however, the alterations were done perfectly and quickly, with last-minute adjustments while I waited, and the final product was lovely.

Hitched is the best salon in the area hands down. After reading reviews and visiting a few other places no other salon could compare. I found my perfect dress at Hitched, which also happens to be the only store in the area to carry Amy Kuschel gowns. Each girl at the store was extremely helpful and friendly, yet never overly so. Everything went smoothly from trying on gowns, to debating my selection, to purchasing, and fittings. They were also flexible and worked with my schedule. I highly recommend the accessories night - made finding my accessories a breeze. All and all if it's within your budget, I'd highly recommend Hitched!

Hitched deserves 5 stars across the board! They were very easy to work with and provided top notch service. This was actually the first store I looked at and I immediately fell in love with the third dress I tried, and they brought in many to try. I couldn't believe that it would be that easy...so I ended up looking at several other places....but hands down, Hitched had the best selection and they were very patient with me as I went back 2-3 times to try it on before signing on the dotted line;) Everything went like clockwork and I had my dream dress on my wedding day.....

I chose Hitched to purchase my wedding gown--a beautiful Ulla Maija lace column dress. I was lucky to get it at a trunk show and it was really special being able to meet the designer. I dealt with a number of women over the months--Carin, Annie, Lynette--and all were extremely pleasant and helpful. The dress was couture and made specifically to fit my measurements. Still, there were some small alterations to make and it needed hemming once I found my shoes. The seamstress was brilliant. She sewed in cups that made me feel very supported, and made numerous tiny tweaks that resulted in a flawless fit. I also purchased my invitations from Hitched. I was super late in deciding on invites, but found something just perfect and I ended up carrying the invitation design through to menu and drink cards. They were inexpensive and were able to be rushed without too much extra cost. At every turn, Hitched was friendly, professional, and accommodating, and made me feel like the only bride in the world. I highly recommend them!

Hitched Salon absolutely deserves its five star reviews. After visiting many different well known boutiques in our area, I was worried not to be able to find the dress I was looking. I was nervous to say YES to the dress! I had a very specific look I wanted for my dress, modern and yet not too girly. However, I couldn’t make up my mind for a longest time. From the moment I walked in this boutique, I knew it was where I would get my dress. It was very modern, chic and very clean. I loved the display and the selections it offered. I spotted my dress immediately. It was the one I must have! To sum up, I had an amazing experience at Hitched, Jasmine and Lynette were fabulous! Jas, the seamstress, was absolutely joyful to work with at my fittings. I received tons of compliments on the dress. The best part of it was that they made it all so easy and stress free! I would highly recommend this establishment to other brides. Hitched girls helped to make our wedding day a dream come true.

I bought both my gown and my bridesmaids dresses at Hitched during a trunk show. They had a great selection and were super friendly and great to work with. I went to one other bridal shop in the area and the customer service was not nearly what it was at Hitched. At Hitched, you get personalized attention and all of the staff members are very friendly and organized. I highly recommend visiting this shop for both wedding gowns as well as bridesmaid dresses. They also have a nice selection of accessories.

Great staff! How they stay chipper all the time is a mystery but they really seem to enjoy their jobs. Great selection of dresses though I found mine very early on. The seamstress, Jaz(?), is PHENOMENAL. She works wonders. My only minor critique is hey are so busy it is hard to get appointments but thats a tribute to their exemplary selection and staff.

I love this bridal boutique and I love everyone that works here. What an amazing store. I purchased by beautiful Anne Barge dress here for my wedding on April 30, 2011. Prior to my wedding, one of my best friends bought her dress here for her May 15, 2010 wedding. After seeing the experience she had and the attentiveness of the staff during her fittings, there was no other option for me. The women of Hitched had a gift for matching the girl to the dress. They know what works on every body type and they would only recommend something that looks sensational. They treat each customer like a priority and give special attention to the friends and family that attend fittings with the bride. It can be a stressful experience to buy a wedding dress, but not with the staff at Hitched. I will recommend Hitched to all future brides and bridesmaids. It was the easiest part of planning my wedding! Thank you to the staff and owners of Hitched for all their help and support!

My bridesmaids and I selected the bridesmaid dress here, and we bought them here as well. All of our experiences here went well, we had no problems whatsoever. They were friendly, professional, attentive, and answered all our questions. The bridesmaids also loved their dresses!

I highly recommend Hitched for several reasons: • Efficiency: I finally made-up my mind up to buy a dress from Hitched 3.5 months before my wedding. With a rush-order, my dress arrived 4 weeks later. • Willingness to make it perfect: a month before the wedding (after fitting # 2 of 3), I told Hitched the dress wasn’t quite where I wanted it to be. They immediately booked two additional fittings, and worked with me until the dress was perfect. They were eager to see me happy and were never impatient with my requests. • Creativity: I wanted a bustle that could not be seen, and the seamstress, Jas, came up with a method she had not used before: she folded the skirt underneath itself, and kept the bustle in place with seven easy buttons. • Professionalism: when I purchased my dress, the contract was easy to understand and included all the information I needed. They responded to my e-mails very quickly. • Punctuality: Whether it was to try on several dresses or for a fitting, I never had to wait more than 5 minutes upon arrival for my appointment to start. • Flexibility: They were more than willing to have my fiancée with me choosing the dress and having it fitted. To accommodate him, they assigned us a fitting room with a small lounge that is further away from the others. • Realism: they changed their tone to fit my attitude. I am unromantic and only began thinking about my wedding when I got engaged. They answered my resale value questions without hesitation and gave me tips regarding its post-wedding care. • Selection: they have a beautiful variety of dresses. I bought mine during a trunk show, and the designer was actually in the store and with me when I chose her dress. • Location: Hitched is conveniently located in Georgetown, which means I was able to go for lunch time appointments.

Small selection but great stuff. A bit pricey so try to check out a sample sale if you can. The staff were very nice and pretty sweet. But again, small selection.

Simply outstanding. They worked with me when my dress needed alterations and they weren't happy until I was glowing. Love hitched!!!!

I went to several different bridal salons during my dress search, and none compared to Hitched! The little shop is so cozy and welcoming, and the girls working there couldn't be nicer. I went for my appointment with my mom and one of my bridesmaids on a snowy Saturday last January, and despite the bustling shop, we never felt crowded or rushed. Lisa was so sweet and made us feel like she had all the time in the world for us. She offered the perfect balance of compliments and honesty, wasn't afraid to share her opinion or validate mine, and never pushed or made me feel like she was trying to close a sale. It was thanks to her expert eye that I ended up with my perfect wedding gown--one that was totally different from what I had pictured, but absolutely perfect for me! It was actually the very first dress she pointed out to me, and when I put it on I got that bride-y feeling I had only experienced vicariously during Say Yes to the Dress marathons. Even so, it was my first appointment and I still felt like I should keep looking, but I shouldn’t have bothered…I compared every dress at every other store to "the one," and was back with credit card in hand the next day. Not only did I find my dream gown at Hitched, but I ended up purchasing my invitations there as well. Their selection is fabulous—not as overwhelming as some of the larger stationary shops that I stopped in (which was good for me and my indecision) but they have something for everyone...and the 20% discount I received because of already buying my dress there certainly didn't hurt! For my invitations and fittings, Lynette became my go-to girl, and she was wonderful. She was friendly, calm, and professional in every situation, was incredibly responsive and always remembered the personal details despite the numerous brides she was working with simultaneously. Their on-site seamstress was excellent as well, and even though I didn’t purchase bridesmaid dresses there, they have a great selection and a beautiful second space upstairs for that experience. They were super accommodating when I came in to try on the dress my friend had selected for us to wear in her upcoming wedding. I received countless compliments on our modern invitations and on my gorgeous gown, and in turn I cannot compliment Hitched (and especially Lynette and Lisa) enough! An all-around great experience that I would recommend to any bride-to-be in the DC area!

I bought my dress at Hitched' January 2010 sample sale. It was a $4,000 Judd Waddell for $1,500. Luckily it fit almost perfectly, so I got the couture dress I wanted at a price I could afford. The staff at the store kept the sample sale very organized, despite there being dozens of half naked brides demanding dresses everywhere! There was always a staff member around to answer questions. Highly recommend going to one of their sample sales.

I purchased my wedding dress at Hitched. It was a fantastic experience. The girls there made me feel so welcome and at ease. At my first appointment, I told the consultant what styles I thought I liked, and she pulled some dresses for me. I ended up going to a few other boutiques, but ended up back at Hitched to purchase the first dress I tried on. They were also very helpful throughout the alteration process. The alterations were impeccable. I highly recommend any bride to check out Hitched!
