Testimonials

I can’t speak highly enough about Here and Now Bridal. I walked in yesterday without an appointment and Danielle was so kind. She made time in her busy work day to squeeze me in (I have a very limited timeline with planning to elope in Colorado in September) and was able to help me find my perfect dress! So perfect it won’t require alterations, truly meant to be. If you aren’t sure if this is the place for you to make your dreams come true as a beautiful bride, trust me when I say that Danielle and the other associates will have you covered!

Jan was my consultant and she was great! She picked out a lot of dresses based on what I said and some that were different so I could get a sense of all my options. While I didn't find my dress at Here & Now, we showed her pictures of my top contenders from other stores and told me how stunning they were and that I couldn't go wrong with any choice. It was really nice not feeling pressured to buy a dress there and she validated my feelings about the other dresses.

I purchased my dress here today for my wedding in May 2025 and I couldn't have had a better experience. I walked in there so hesitant and nervous but Danielle made me feel so comfortable! She stayed within my price range and gave me so many dress options to try on. This was my first real attempt to find my wedding dress and she made it so easy for me. I didnt feel rushed and pressured to spend any more money than i wanted to. They have such a wide variety of dresses and styles, I was honestly amazed. I highly recommend Here & Now Bridal, it will be your first and only shop.

I had the most amazing experience! I came in to shop the summer sale and was hopeful that I would snag the dress of my dreams at a dream price! And that’s exactly what happened! I worked with Erin as my bridal consultant and she was top tier; knowledgeable, kind, encouraging, and professional. Run, don’t walk to Here and Now, they’ve got you covered!

Kendra C.

10/10 stars. I had the most wonderful experience here and highly recommend it to all brides. The dresses are gorgeous and the employees are even better. Jan was so patient, kind, and supportive. I fell in love with multiple dresses and I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant in Jan. I never felt rushed or pressured at any point during the appointment, or to make a final decision, and she was so kind to stay extra time with me and help me sort out all of the feelings I was having. I truly felt like the only bride in the world, and it was such a special experience to have. Every bride deserves to feel the way Here and Now Bridal makes you feel!

Cassi A.

Brittany was great! She made me feel right at home, and emphasized that the most important thing is how I felt in the dresses. She also made a great point about if I felt like a bride in a dress, or if it just happened to be another pretty dress, which is how I ended up making my decision. Would highly recommend a visit go Here & Now for wedding dress shopping, even if you don't end up purchasing from them, their stylists are totally worth it.

My daughter found the dress of her dreams! We booked an appointment with Jan & her excitement & expertise helped us find the dress in our first visit! My older daughter said “She made a seam-filled experience seamless!” We love this place!

Nancy G.

Here and now bridal was absolutely perfect and made my experience the best! Jan is so sweet and made me feel so comfortable, I would do it a thousand times again with Mrs Jan!! I recommend her and this place to every single bride :)

Morgan B.

I absolutely loved my experience at Here and Now. I had had two terrible experiences trying on dresses at other establishments so I was super nervous. Erin made my experience nothing short of amazing. She boosted my confidence and gave honest input rather than pressuring me into something that I didn’t want. She made me feel beautiful and confident. If I could give her and this establishment more than 5 stars I would!!!

Natalie O.

Jan was very sweet and delightful from the very first meeting. She took time to show us around even though I didn’t have time to try anything on at first. She got me an appointment that week where she greeted us with open arms. Jan wasn’t demanding or pushy. She was patient and allowed me to try on as many dresses until I found the ONE!! It was like having my mom with me. I would definitely recommend visiting this bridal shop. Beautiful dresses.

Renikk W.

Erin was AMAZING!!! She truly made my first experience of dress shopping so memorable. She was so caring to what I was looking for and made me feel comfortable. Erin was SO knowledgeable too! She gave me so many great suggestions even when I didn’t really know what I was looking for and really listened to my vision and made it come to life. I would definitely recommend setting your appointment with Erin if you’re looking for exceptional and warm-welcoming energy!!!

Taylor G.

Here and Now Bridal is amazing! The variety and great quality of the dresses were all that I needed. It was the only store I tried on at, and said yes to a dress! With the wedding being so close and on a budget, off the rack was the way to go. Danielle helped me find the perfect dress and had so much patience and grace with me while trying them on. I really appreciated her suggestions, care and time. I can’t stop staring at the dress and can’t wait to wear it. I recommend Here and Now to any and every future bride! Thank you so much again!

Ashleigh W.

If you are looking for a place to find a dress this is the one! I WENT to three other places & found nothing was losing hope and was not happy. CAME TO here & now Bridal Jan was my stylist and she was fricken amazing. She took me around and picked out styles I LEFT SAYING YES TO THE DRESS! Thank you so much Jan I finally found my forever you made me cry and made me feel so beautiful! I will forever remember you!

Ashley N.

I had the best experience at Here and Now bridal  thanks to Tara! She was an absolute dream! I felt welcomed by her and I feel like she listened so well and made me very comfortable.  At the end of our time together I felt like I made a new friend. I would highly recommend coming here and making an appointment with Tara before going anywhere else!

Julianna M.

This was the best experience you could ask for!! I worked with Erin and she was AMAZING!! She was super personal, supportive, and such a huge cheerleader! She took the time to get to know me. She made me feel super comfortable, which is super hard for me because I overthink everything! I was very certain I wasn’t going to find the ONE because I wasn’t getting that feeling I was expecting. She would narrow down what I liked and disliked and kept pulling dresses until we found the one!!! It truly was a magical feeling! I 10/10 would recommend trying Here&Now! It’s such a great feeling getting to say yes to the dress with such a supporting stylist helping you out!

Caitlyn K.

5 Stars does not do Here and Now justice. I had the BEST experience ever. I have tried on many dresses, but Here and Now had my favorite selection & was price friendly for my budget. I'm obsessed with my dress and everyone there was extremely nice. If you're feeling lost and overwhelmed like I was, this is the place to go!

Michelle F.

My daughter found the dress of her dreams! We booked an appointment with Jan & her excitement & expertise helped us find the dress on our first visit! My older daughter said “She made a seam-filled experience seamless!” We love this place!

Nancy G.

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about this place!! After going to so many dress shops and trying on so many dresses and just not quite finding the “one”, I finally found the one here! My amazing stylist Tara knew what I liked more than I even did. She picked the most perfect gown for me to try and as soon as I was in it, I knew it was my “I Do” dress. The whole experience was welcoming and personally customized to me and my tastes. The sizing was inclusive (I’m a midsize girly 14/16 regular dress size) and she had sooo many options for me. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Tara to help me with this special occasion! A big thank you to her and Here & Now Bridal for helping me find my dream dress!

Alyssa R.

I had such an amazing experience at Here & Now Bridal (VA Beach)!! The store was clean and inviting and it was so refreshing to have privacy with my group of friends. I hardly even knew there was another group in the store. There were tons of dresses for me to try and Tara was a phenomenal bridal stylist! She was so helpful, patient and kind. I truly cannot say enough about this store and Tara. Book your appointment today if you are looking for a calm and joyful time while wedding dress shopping. It was 100000% worth the drive from Richmond.

Sarah N.

Amazing experience. All of the staff were kind, supportive, and so friendly and helpful. Jan was my stylist and I couldn't have had a better experience. She listened to what I wanted and made me feel so comfortable. She seemed like she was having fun which helped me have a great time! Ultimately I found my dream dress at a fantastic price and couldn't be happier. I also bought accessories here and loved them. Thank you to Here and Now Bridal for helping me find my dream dress!

Brianne E.

I came here and found the dress of my dreams at such a great price! I ABSOLUTELY love it! Camrynne greeted me at the entrance, I showed her my vision, and she made some incredible selections. She along with the staff were patient and enthusiastic I truly felt I got the royal treatment. I highly recommend for a dress fitting, fit for a queen!

Reine

I couldn’t be more thankful for my experience with *ALL* the ladies at Here and Now Bridal. From the very first phone call to the very second I walked out the door, every one of these ladies were polite and made my desires and needs feel heard. Tori was great with remembering the dresses I liked and didn’t like. She was so knowledgeable and so helpful! Danielle went absolutely *above and beyond* to make make sure I left a happy bride & I truly couldn’t be happier! Thank you Danielle & Tori- I can’t stop looking at my dress!

Taylor
This shop had such a large selection of high quality dresses. The two young women that work there made this experience SO special for me. Picking out a dress for your big day can be tough but they make sure to make this decision as easy as possible. They made sure to involve all of my guest. Really loved the fact that you were able to take your dress home that day. 12/10 experience! Truly couldn't recommend this enough!
Kenna

Sierra was absolutely amazing!!! She had me try dresses I would have never picked for myself and I ended up saying Yes to the dress at this beautiful boutique. My bridesmaid even found her perfect dress!! I could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend shopping here if you're looking for your perfect dress

Heather
I LOVED SHOPPING AT HERE AND NOW BRIDAL! I went to them earlier this year for a second wedding dress since my 1st dress was a ball gown. Studio I Do sent me to Here and Now Bridal to find a dress in my price range. Ms. Jan was so helpful! We were able to find the right dress for me within the appointment. I loved my experience so much that I went back again to get an additional dress! Don’t worry I wore all three. I did a walk in appointment and luck would have it Ms. Jan was there again! For the second time I found the most perfect dress. Thank you Here and Now for amazing experiences I hope every bride gets to visit
Arianna

I can not say enough good things about my experience! I went along with my cousin as she found her DREAM Dress!! This personable, knowledgeable, caring and beautiful staff were so accommodating and supportive. She found her dress and her veil and the prices are as amazing as the Inventory. If you do not want the big box experience and prefer something personal and special come here ! You will not be disappointed!!!

Jess

Janice was super sweet and helpful for my first wedding dress appointment ever! She went through all the dresses and kept my budget in mind with each dress. She answered all my questions on alterations and how it would transform into the perfect dress. Definitely would recommend the dresses were all beautiful and good prices

Callie

After my experience at Here & Now, I wish I could get married more than once! Jan was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very attentive to my requests when looking for my perfect dress. She was so honest and caring. I also want to shout out Mariah for being so supportive and honest, as well. The women there truly care about making dress shopping enjoyable. I wasn’t able to have my family or friends with, but they made me feel so loved. I’m so appreciative of their dedication to have options for everyone: price, size, style, etc. The quality of the dresses is phenomenal, too. Having the ability to buy off the rack with little to no alterations needed was a must for me, and that’s exactly what I received. My dress is perfect and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you ladies for an absolutely unforgettable experience!

Shayla

Wish I could give 10 stars to be honest. From my very first appointment to find my dress to my alterations, the staff has gone above and beyond. Finding the right dress was perfect, never felt rushed or pressured. I have one more fitting appointment before the big day, but these have gone so smooth and the staff is super knowledgeable 💖 so glad we found here and now Bridal!!!!

Erin
“I’m dressed!”
“Hi, I’m Brittany, that’s my name”
That was the moment I knew I was in good hands.
Her sass and her personality made me comfortable right away, because the stuffy bridal studio experiences I had before were off putting , and her vibe was just contagious. I was able to let my guard down and get into the whole experience a lot more. Mid appointment I had a family emergency and the ladies here jumped into action, finding me the first appointment of the next day, and even left my top choices in the dressing room so that I could come back in the morning. Then the next day, everything that went wrong did, but they were so awesome and reassuring and it made me feel way better about everything that I had going on, and eventually I was able to say yes to both of my dresses! The dress I ended up with was the first dress Brittany pulled for me, and even my reception dress was the second one she had me try. Definitely felt like my preferences were listened to and their prices can’t be beat! 🖤
Chloe

My experience at Here & Now Bridal was amazing! Jan was great at picking dresses that suited my taste and made it a very stress-free and fun experience! This was my first time trying on wedding dresses and I wasn’t expecting to leave with THE dress but I did and am in love! Thank you Jan for making this experience a memorable and fun for my mom and I!

 

Kinsey

I had the best experience at Here and Now Bridal! I scheduled three dress appointments at different stores and ended up canceling my other two after finding the perfect dress here. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and it was the best experience!

 

Cidnye

Jessica was absolutely amazing! I was so indecisive on what I thought I wanted and she was so patient with me. She spent more time with me than my appointment was supposed to be for. At the end I was confused and thought I was leaving without a dress, but she said let me pull one more that's different from anything else you've tried on. The one she pulled was THE dress and I said YES to the dress! I cannot thank her enough for everything! This boutique is so comfortable and not overwhelming like others I've been too. They have an amazing selection of gowns for an incredible price. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 

Eric & Karen

Had the best experience here! I found the perfect dress and was able to return to this same location for my alterations. I loved that option because I felt like the seamstress really knew and cared about my wedding gown. I went on a Friday afternoon to look for dresses and this was such a great idea since we were the only ones in the salon. I truly feel like I got a one of a kind dress for a great price!

 

Kristi

I had the BEST experience finding my dream dress!!!! I cannot say enough good things about the entire process from booking the appointment to walking out with my dress in hand. The stylists here are incredible at what they do. Sierra was absolutely amazing. She made me feel comfortable, supported, and assured that there was something there for me. She looked through my Pinterest board for overall vibe of the wedding along with my dress inspiration, and my yes dress is almost identical to the photo I showed her & told her was my favorite. Here and Now Bridal has so many options at incredible prices and is a great place to find your dream dress!! You will not be disappointed❤️
